Is it normal for a Miata engine to be this loud?
 

So I'm about to slap on my turbo and I've done all the pre-flight checks, and everything seems fine. The one thing, however, that has always bugged me is how much noise my engine makes, since I don't have another Miata to compare it to I'm not sure if it's normal.

I go up to about 4,000rpms in the video:

fixed nothing wrong with that motor other than the low hp #

Thanks man.

Sounds pretty normal to me.

Omg,It sounds Like the bottom end is out, and the valves are burnt.Not really,sounds fine.All of mine always have very loud HLA's,yours are quiet,turbo away.Good Luck and look forward to the build thread.

Sounds pretty damned quiet if you ask me.

Normal. The miata is a noisy thrashy bitch. Ride her well!

Are you guys sure? I'm running a 100 shot of NOS, I'll be lucky if I didn't blow the welds on the intake manifold.

Well then in that case just stop granny shifting and not double-clutching. Then you will be fine.

I don't know, the floor pans may fail at anything above 75 NOS.

You're fucking joking right? The intake is solid up to a 150hp++ shot but the problem is the front differential usually breaks synchros around a 50shot with that type of antilag.

I was always good at math and shit. Everything else, I failed.

This thread is now about how pathetic our lives are since we can quote Fast and the Furious from memory.

there has always been something about motors and shit that just calmed me down

Koni adjustables, they'll save us 2 pounds, and give us better traction off the line. Here's your basic design, and here's what it could look like when it's finished.

*sigh* :eek3:
