So, it's killing me I can't view attatchments.. So I registered! Some of you may know me from Club Roadster and Roadster Drift.

Looking to turbo my motor this winter and blowing it so I can force myself into a rebuild.

 

Willkommen

 

turbos are cool, but blowing motors? explain

 

Motoren explodiern ist nicht gut du must richtig. schaffen unt gliech 300 bps eriechen. du hast feil tzu lessen unt tzu lerne sie flisich unt es kan gleich richtig gehen.
Wir konnen sie hilfen, du must nur uns fraggen.LOL
Welcome to the baord it is always nice to meet another miata enthusaist.

 

Meine Mutter Managt die Tankstelle.

 

My current motor was very poorly taken care of by it's original owner(s) and is on it's last legs already. If I destroy it I have no choice but to do a full rebuild.

99 head plus 2.0L stroker kit would be the order of the day.

 

well if you turbo your motor and blow it i i just hope no engine bits find their way into you new turbo or take out anything else in it's course

 

heck you dont even need to turbo it before you blow it. It just seems like a waste of time to turbo the system and then to blow it up purposefully. life we be easy to do it both at the same time.

 

yeah you could do alot of damage to the turbine side of the turbo

 

I've never blown a motor before, it sounds like something I should do before I die. :(

 

it's not as fun as it sounds. unless you enjoy towing bills and being out of comission.

 

Besides, theres alot of effort and tuning you put into your car after you turbo. Seems like a waste of alot of time to do that then blow it.

 

plus when you break down in front of a car dealer with billowing clouds of white smoke, people tend to point and laugh. Or so I hear.

 

lol, almost as bad as seeing the guy in a riced CRX stall at the line at your local drag strip....but not as bad.

 

the last leg > last legs


minus whale get it right.

 

Well, that's the thing. I want to try my hand at ECU tuning myself, so I am turning a motor I know is on it's way out already. I am not about to do my first street tune on a brand new motor.

 

I have a daily driver already faster than my Miata PLUS my Miata's been on jacks for about 2 months already. I am used to it.

 

how do you know the motor is on teh way out?
