I currently own a 1990 1.6 miata as my first miata. Its kind of a **** box and want to build a turbo 94-97 1.8 so I am looking for a clean one currently.

I am hoping to make anywhere from 225-250whp reliably and was wondering what the best way about going about this would be. I have heard good things about Lars mk turbo kit and would be leaning towards that kit. Will i be able to make these numbers with the mk kit or what will i have to do to achieve those numbers?

Does the full kit come with everything needed to install? I would be putting in an upgraded clutch and fuel pump and maybe bigger injectors over the 640 injectors included in the kit.

I have never worked with turbos and was wondering how difficult this project will be. I have time, patience, common sense, and some money saved for quality parts/kits. I do however lack knowledge and experience as I am only 19.

Greetings!

MK Turbo will get you there no problem. No need for bigger than FF 640's unless you want to make over 300whp. Full kit should be everything you need, includes block off plates etc.

250whp in miata is plenty fast

do you think I will need any other supporting mods such as a coolant reroute as I'm only going to be street driving the car with the occasional track day.

Also Lars said the kit when I messaged is good for 170hp-200hp depending on the tuner how would I increase that to 240ish would that just be a more aggressive tune pushing more boost or?

Also whats the best order to install the parts? I am able to have the car down for a little while as I have another car. From reading things on here I should probably do the clutch and the ecu first, break in the clutch, then injectors, fuel pump and then go to the actual turbo parts? I am a tuning noob and known pretty much nothing but like I said I can learn will I realistically be able to learn and ge the car running right for when I install injectors, ecu, etc? I will be taking the finished car to a dyno tuner when complete.

Yes, ECU first. Get it running right. Then yes, MK TURBO.

People have made over 300whp with that kit with supporting mods.

thank you, what's the best way to learn how to tune/ learn how to make the car run right is there tutorials on YouTube for this? also will I need an upgraded fuel pump or anything else fuel related other then injectors to run 225-250whp? where do I go from once I install the turbo and get the car running cause I am sure I will be overwhelmed. Should I take it to a tuner right away after complete to get everything running correctly and increase my power and efficiency/ finalize the setup? I am noob but trying to learn :(
i need all the tips i can possibly get to make everything go as smoothly as possible and what i realistically need to do. does the mk kit come with any gauges and if not what ones would i need? i would assume boost, oil pressure, and a/f?
