Turbo Setup opinions
Ok. I need your opinions on this setup. I'm shooting for the 380-410whp level.
This will go into a '99 Miata.
I bought a '91 escort engine and am planing on building it with:
+ Wiseco (8.6:1 cr) pistons +.040,
+ Crower H-beam rods,
+ ACL Racing Bearings,
+ 10k miles Crankshaft,
+ all seals, gaskets new,
+ ARP Head studs,
+ ARP Main Cap Studs,
+ MS-I v3.0
After that I want to put together a turbo kit:
+ Precicion Turbo SC50 (4" Inlet/2.5" Outlet, .63 A/R, 69 or 76 trim Exhaust Side),
+ Precision Turbo 780cc injectors,
+ 21"x9"x3" I/C w/ 2.5" i/o,
+ 321SS equal length runner exhaust manifold,
+ SS 3" exhaust splitting into 2x2.5" (magnaflow mufflers: 3" in the place of the cat, 2.5" mufflers at the end),
+ Custom manifold (have to read more about it).
In winter 07/08 I'm planning on doing the Head and paint the car.:
+ 1mm over Intake and Exhaust valves,
+ Titanium retainers,
+ new springs.
Thanks

I don't have a budget - it will cost whatever it will cost, I'll beearning the money as I go and buying parts when I have the money. For now I bought the engine, and a 10k crank! ! It'll take me like 8 weeks to buy the internals! and then another 10 weeks for the turbo stuff, maybe longer.

Well you already have the motor bought, but its not to late to reconsider. Even with the 1.8, your car will be a blast when you are finished. However, if it was me, i would have regretted not going FE3.

you can mount it up "easily" by fabbing plates to bolt the stock motor mounts to and swapping the front half of a b2200 tranny onto the miatas. Problem there is that the tranny still cant handle the kind of power that motor can put out under boost.
