Been a while
 

'Sup fellas, looks like I'm back in the Miata thang again.

I used to be on the old power list eons ago, but I've been out of the loop for five or six years.

I'm sure there's a lot I've missed... so I figured this is a good place to 'catch up.'

Jay

"sup" + "thang" = ban

do not fuck around on this forum. Its a serious gathering place for homosexual car enthusiasts.

Nice greeting. I like this place already. Refreshing change from m.net

You have no idea. When you're using so much lube at home that you start buying it online in bulk, then you've really "arrived" here.

:bowrofl:
Sam, you need your own smilie or something

And pay attention when you take pictures...

Is that Adam and Eve or Adam and Steve? Hard to tell...

Stop it, you're turning me on.

Welcome (back) Jay. You know your GTX motor that you sold to Jason Cuadra a while back smashed my old roommate's finger?

Hope you like a good hazing.

Serves him right for knuckle-raping me.

welcome to the madness :)

haha well he was just the courier.

so I think the real question everyone has on their minds is: will a 60mm 60 trim compressor wheel and housing fit on a 2876 CHRA without modification?

Jay,
You might want to introduce yourself better to retards like nutHustler so they understand that you have a lot to offer than moronic stories of how tough you are and how many hoes you bang.

There are only a few former power listers here. It seems that all former turbo Miata owners come back in some form or another. I bought Robbie Laurenson's turbo/Motec Miata after being Miataless for 3 years and now it's in about 1000 pieces in my garage getting an LS6 swap. Something different.

The most useful thing Hustler has contributed to this forum is the kPa to PSI conversion chart in his sig. :)

Frank

It's not like anyone with a brain can't figure 1psi = 7kPa, then add 100kPa.

I have no doubt Jay will be able to pwn noob bashers and send them home crying.

Nah, Cuadra's cool. So what happened to that GTX mill?

As for the turbo idea, it's no bueno. Can't install a different size comp wheel because the counterbore on the center housing is wheel-size-specific.

Hey Frank. Yeah, this time around I've got a 1.6. It's a shitpile. Good times.

what if he were to replace the backing plate, wheel and housing?

You'd need a new center housing. BB turbos don't have a traditional backplate like journal bearing turbos. The counterbore for the comp wheel is cut into the center housing on bb turbos.

sucks for you matt!

i'll say. so what's the disco potato use? are the T3 compressors the right c-bore or is there machining done?

jay: I think Jason still has the GTX block in his car.
