94 M-edition from WA. Soon to be turbo'd
Hi all,
I bought my 94 M-edition stock 1.5 years ago and have been acquiring the parts for turbo. Located in Redmond.
Current Mods:
Flyin' Miata front sway bar
Jackson Racing exhaust
Hard Dog roll bar
Megan EZ Street Coilovers
15x8" Bronze 6UL's with 225/45/15 Hankook Ventus R-S3's
OEM style lip, OEM mud guards
ebay clear turn signals
Rennenmetal tow hooks
MS3X running COPs
Innovate MTX-L, gauge currently being RMA'd... :(
Home-made aluminum license plate mount, inspired by GarageStar :P

It's been a long time and I've finally gotten around to posting some progress pics of the turbo project. Can't wait til I can drive it again! Enjoy!
Putting together the new engine with forged rods
She's ready...
Ripping that old engine out
That new engine is in!
And then I decided to start using a decent camera instead of my phone...
Had to make a custom bracket for the vacuum actuator and when you can't weld, you do this.
It's getting there! Will post more pics of updates

Very nice start, a nice clean engine too!
As pretty as your blue T is, I'd worry about it cracking from vibrations, I'd keep an eye on that. We have that issue when we try T fittings on the oil pressure sensor for turbo oil feeds.

Thanks curly,
I'll keep an eye on it, although my brother is rethinking about redoing it with a thicker plate and using bigger fittings. Would it still be an issue without the weight of a pressure sending unit hanging off it?
