Nice looking!
Why angle the TB mount of did I not read this thread?

 

you forgot to read the "b series" part

 

 

lol yeah that is for the Honda

I will not be angling yalls throttle body any so no worries there

 

Miata 1.8L Budget ITB Manifold now available!
I have talked Sam into machining a 1.6L head flange out this week for me (finally!)
Will try and have some finished 1.6L manifold stuff pretty soon.

 

Wow, I must have missed where we talked about the demand for an ITB miata manifold on a turbo forum.

 

I want to try ITB's on my turbo, just need to build an enclosure around the ITB intakes.

 

I'd really be interested to see if that added complexity made any worthwhile difference with a turbo vs a well designed traditional manifold.

 

Good effort, wrong forum :(

 

Yeah, I'm kinda curious. Better throttle response but... would that make any difference with turbo spool, etc.

 

im sure you could reduce cost by not not having that aluminum slab welded onto the runners.

 

My thoughts exactly. Not exactly subtle and looks like a good sized/expensive chunk. then again, what do I know about aluminum...

 

The name tag badge is so large because that is the only one I had laying around. We didn't have the time to machine out a different one either. As to the pricing that name tag badge and nothing to do with anything, it wasn't even factored in so it just became a perk of being the prototype.

I still haven't heard back from the person who is wanting these so I am not sure if they will be proprietary items yet or not, if they turn out not to be I will put them on my site.

I would think me working on anything Miata related would be relevant to this forum....

 

Kinda sorta

miata.net = Most all around miata friendly though the majority of the members would rather garage their stock miata and drive it once a year than modify it.

clubroadster.net = ITB and drifting fanboys (this is where the nice effort, wrong forum comment came from). They would love to see this over there.

miataturbo.net = more concerned with high power potential than "throttle response"

 

I'm going to to the dyno on Jan 16th, any chance of having one by then?

Dude, your fabrication skills look fantastic but you are cockteasing us relentlessly and that sucks.

WE WANT AN INTAKE MANIFOLD FOR TURBO MIATAS. WE WILL BUY THEM. WE DO NOT WANT THE WORLD'S MOST AWESOME VICES, HONDA MANIFOLDS, AND ESPECIALLY NOT IRTB MANIFOLDS. IRTBS SUCK DICKS. MY CAR WILL MAKE ALMOST MORE POWER WITH ONE CYLINDER THAN THEIR ENTIRE ENGINE. HELP US BE AWESOME, DON'T HELP US SUCK DICKS.

 

Dude, chill. You can use itb's on a turbo car... no fellatio required.

 

I really want to see BMC come through on a nice affordable turbo IM. I'm hesitant to bash them because of this. I'm not sure how well he takes the jibes and ribbing he gets here. That said...

Mod that Civic one to fit ours already! It took 6 months to get the honda one finalized. We're five months on this thread now. How far behind are we?

 

Id like to do this as well, I dont think its a bad idea especially when the throttles can get picked up pretty cheap
