Hi,

Last tuesday I felt in love with a 1994 mazda miata. Manual tranny. I'm 18 years old and I own a 2004 volkswagen golf , 4 doors, work Ewing wheels and a set of coilovers to slam the car on the ground. This is my 3rd volkswagen, I've been owner of a 2003 passat 1.8t and of a 1990 volkswagen jetta, I love the handling of mk2 volks. I also owned a 1998 200sx se-r with a sr20ve engine, that car was pretty fast.

My golf is curently for sale, bone stock, and I plan of getting a 1994 mazda miata, a turbo kit, coilovers etc. But before all the cool stuff, I wanted to know if those mx5 are tough, high milleage (150 000km) engine are still tough enough for a turbo kit pushing 10psi?? Guys let me know all I should know before getting the car, I really want to get a miata and tune it into a little beast. :)

thanks

3th?

my mistake sorry.

Possibly, he referenced the car having 150,000km

To the original poster, he was asking if english is a second language for you. Where are you located?

Yes English is a second language to me. I speak french and live in Québec.

That's what I thought. Don't sweat it. Pretty much everyone gets hammered on their first post. I'm sure everyone will back off the grammar stuff now.

Post your location under your name. Go to User CP in the upper left corner and click Edit Your Details to enter the information. That way people know a bit about you.

That said, 150,000km car should be no problem with 10psi. Do a compression test and if that is good, and you do your part with a decent fuel and timing tune, you shouldn't have any problems.

go for it. these engines run for 200k miles without problems. thats of course if car was maintained properly.

You had understood. Keep useless comments away of my thread please, I'm looking to get informations, not comments about my english level. thanks.

Thanks guys, I'm thinking of getting a Greddy turbo kit, the very simple one and add a small 1.8t intercooler or neon srt-4 intercooler, bigger injectors, exhaust and a good tuning. What is the limit of the stock ecu?

Ok, I feel bad then. Your english is not too shabby.

But in all seriousness, you should search and read the stickies. There is a lot to know in your situation and no one is going to want to type it all out for you in your thread unless you pay them for it.

thanks, I just read something pretty nice. I have a brake set for a G-60 corrado at home, I just found it will fit under the miata.

Here are some good links to get the ball rolling:

Greddy? On a 94?

I know, Greddy kit are for 1.6 engine, I'm searching for a kit like that for the 1.8. I'm a bit scared of ebay turbo kit.

That's not going to happen. Most people here are very helpful, but we also like to joke around and be very sarcastic. Deal with it.

You may want to start by checking out the vendors, and by checking out the threads wayne_curr posted above.

Most people say the best entry-level kit is Bell's "S" kit at BEGI-S Miata Turbo System 1994-1997 BEGi or save some money by getting the version with a Chinese turbo at BEGI Shanghai-S Turbo System 1994-1997 BEGi.

I turbo'd mine at 221K MILES (that's like 5 million killometers I think, actually 336K).

Still going strong.

Seriously, you could not have picked a better car to work on. You will look back on your Volkswagen days like I often look back at my Honda days...as wasted time.

Sink money into suspension first, you will thank me later.

There are good turbo kits out there, including several offerings from budget-minded to absolute friggin' power from BEGi. A LOT of guys here go the DIY(do it yourself) route, especially with intercooler setups, so there is a lot of information to be found.

Use the "Advanced Search" option for the search dropdown, and sort the threads by "Relevance." This helps tremendously.


Welcome to the show.

thanks, a lot of helpfull information. I was thinking of tein basic coilovers, is this alright? Any review?

Lurk more unless you want a mod to rename your thread the WagenFreak retarded question megathread.

Welcome though.

Stop thinking you're funny, your humour sucks at all. :loser:

Thanks for you nice welcome my friend.

Shit you're not even posting in the right section, poutine eating bastard.

Get out ------.

Sorry, I'll search more by myself, thanks for the links, and sorry for this shitty thread. Mod: delete this thread please.

Nope, this thread needs to stay! It's a good thread, very nice for a NOOB from Canada. Making fun of Canadians is a very popular thing for Americans... but my wife is from Toronto, so I don't get to play.

Anyways, just be sure to hang out a week or so, soak up all the information you can. WELCOME!
