I remember somebody on here saying that alot of people here will soon be running 2860s and bigger (i believe it was 18psi that said this) and i was going through alot of the build threads that have been popping up and have noticed bigger and bigger turbos being put on out tiny lil cars.

I for one will be running a 2860, who all is running a potato or bigger? where does this madness end? who has bigger goals?



EDIT: post specs of the turbo you are using/will be using if they are not already known

 

V

 

I'm running this:


This is the natural progression. Miatas are quite a bit behind the times when it comes to engine performance and power output. Lots of factors at play there, but as we find better solutions for traction and keeping drivetrains together, the turbos will get bigger and the power output will keep climbing.

I'm shooting for +- 300whp with no meth.

 

something about big turbos just makes my dick hard. my goal are in the 300HP range as well.

 

t04b-h3 / t3 stage III, stock exhaust

 

stock exhaust FTL.

3.5" is where its at

 

gt3071 bitches 3" exhaust goals 400+hp with water suck a dick!!!

oh wait, you said "running". Does that mean like, the car is running? Because it's not.

 

My prediction stands

I'm about a week or two away from running the fagspeed gt3076 fwiw. Shooting for 330-350whp

Waiting for my dad to have some free time so we can weld up the downpipe/exhaust

 

you have plans to run, that works too!

i was right, it was you that said that....

im gonna run with the 2860 for a lil while, while i save up for a 3071 and Tial housing for it.....

 

I have a 3" enthuza waiting for being installed

 

get that **** on already!

 

We're transplanting my old GT2871R-powered (.60/.64) drivetrain into it's new host. Definitely a fun turbo, it'll be nice to finally know what that setup actually delivers to the wheels.

 

Garrett A/R .70 with custom 3.5 exhaust, wasnt my choice but the car came this way. I like the big turbos too but this one here is for big numbers. It does lag a bit but pulls pretty hard from the 4200-5800 range. I will prolly be sourcing a a/r .50 soon from a former member that wants tp possibly trade. Im just more of a top end guy, ive already experienced teh 0-60 whiplash, speeds in my former boosted rx-7's

 

I want the Speedyracer 2870, is pretty much a 2871 equivalent.

 

oh, thats why you were talkin bout daves car! when does the wrenching begin?

 

Most likely this weekend.

 

sweet, this will be fun!

 

If fun = taking a 1.6L Miata and turning it into a turbo'd 1.8L with 6-speed and 3.6 rear, plus suspension swap and a whole bunch of other misc items, then yes, it'll be fun. I have my work cut out for me, that's for sure.

 

CHINA GT3076...stockish exhaust....till the end of the month

 

you have you trusty extra set of hands here!
