Dude.
I'm about to Veyron swap my Miata, but it's just temporary cause next year I'm gonna koeniggsegg swap it with quintuple turbos for autox use. |
Sounds reasonable. Be sure to use at least two baskets. Don't want that Koeningsegg all in one.

All because that way you can eventually bolt an LS up to it and "throw" a big turbo on it and take it to the half mile? Am I getting that right? Not sure you fully realize how much effort, time, and money any of the ideas you've suggested will take.
Also, just as a heads up, the intake manifold on the LS is plastic and if you throw a big turbo at it it might crack. I have access to CNC machines so making an adapter plate should be fairly easy. and there are kits out for the 8.8 rear end already so other than the adapter plate, trans mounts and driveshaft it shouldn't be too bad. |

Ok, let's start over:
There are 3 types of people here: 1) ones that bring a big game 2) ones that talk a big game 3) ones that do neither of the above So far, you came in here talking like a hardcore know-it-all baller builder with tons of super expensive parts and awesome tools/machinery at your disposal, and goals that many (most?) here have never even attempted to set because they're so optimistic. After seemingly looking for input, you ignored it all and basically told us that you're here to show us how its done, because you're so awesome and we're all dumb. Then you posted some super random cropped manifold picture, and a picture of two loose turbos on a shelf. In other words, you're like the 5 billionth n00b to do this, and we've seen it so often that it's getting boring at this point. The only reason I haven't banned you for creating a duplicate profile, after your original one was banned for being a 'tard, is because I'm really hoping that at least most of your claims are legitimate, and you're at least half as awesome as you think you are, and will actually deliver a worthwhile build thread building a really nasty boosted Miata. So now that I lovingly chewed up the info, put it into a spoon, and slid it into your pouty little lips, would it be fair to ask you for more pictures, and actual progress on your car? No more dreaming, no more crying, just pictures and progress now |
Before you think that 18 PSI is being mean, he pretty much hit the nail on the head on all the big talking dreamers we've had here who were going to show us just exactly how to do it the right way since we are all a bunch of dumbasses.

Carbon fiber shaft and $4000 electronics.
Photoes plaz. |
Stop telling us what will be, just show us what is. And it's not fucking 929 racimg, unless you pulled it from a Mazda 929. I'd give you an infraction for retardedness just for that, plus your paint scheme on the front fenders.
What have you built in the past? |
thanks for the pics, at least we can see somewhat where you're starting.
it looks like it will need a TON of work. probably more than if you were to start with a stock car, but at least there are some nice parts there. looks like it was trashed though |
That's not a tubular subframe.

What have you built in the past? 949* Racing twin disk It says on that picture the fender will be painted if you read under the picture. They came like that and I it's pointless to paint them while I'm building the car.

I want to see past fab work. Something simple and nice.
It is a major cash consuming lump at this point. Good luck with the whole process. Moddin' ain't easy bro. |
Like 18psi said looks like you have some nice part's and the beginnings of something. What's the back story on the car? What was the guy before you planing with it and where did he stop and you pickup? Looks like it been sitting for a while and needs some clean up but that's how it goes. Where are you going to start the build process, the bolt on stuff or the fab stuff? Is the entire wire harness dogshit? It's definitely a project and you have set the bar pretty high coming in here swinging your dick around and it would be interesting to see how you pull off the final product. Good luck though.

I'm starting development with a well known company that specializes in making parts to adapt transmissions to other engines this coming week. I hope to have a solid solution by the end of the month. We'll see. |
