Hello from the Bay Area!
 

Hi everyone, my name is Ryan - I'm a 24 year old educational consultant/guitar teacher and I've been using this forum as a tool to help build my miata and finally decided to say hello. I drive a 1993 white 5 spd manual miata with tan soft top..I just bought a turbo kit off craigslist for 200 bucks and am looking forward to boosting this baby!

My first car was a 1974 bmw 2002, my second car was a 240sx with a sr20det turbo engine...

now I drive a 2002 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor and a 1993 miata!!
Most of my experience wrenching on cars is on chevy small blocks, nissan sr20dets, and late model bmws!! thanks for reading! Looking forward to learning a lot on this forum :noob:

Welcome. So what can kind turbo kit does $200 buy you on craigslist?

hey dustin b, nice to meet u! the kit consisted of a mystery turbo which i have identified as a gt28rs "disco potato" clone with a stainless steel water line, the fmic piping from a greddy kit plus a decent sized mystery intercooler, greddy type s bov, a cracked stainless steel manifold, a cracked downpipe, and a full 3 inch exhaust with a mystery muffer at the end...a whole lot of mystery haha

Hey! Welcome, what part of the bay are you from? Im local so lmk if you need anything.

Howdy!

Hey miataman and lordrigamus!

I'm from Union city! I'm actually in need of some injectors, a fuel pump, and a s-afc/maybe a fmu or rrfpr I'm just waiting for some $$$ :P

for those wondering how i figured out what kinda turbo it was considering it had no markings on it at all - i identified the turbo from info i found on this forum and on some dsm and nissan forums...i first measured the exhaust flange length which was 3.5 in which means it's a t25 flange, i then counted the fins on the turbine which was 10 which identified it as a t28 turbine, i then measured the inducer of the compressor and it was 1.8 inches which would identify it as a t28 compressor...the turbine housing was stamped with AR 86 so i gathered this data and the closest specs matched the gt28rs...so i'm assuming it's some sort of egay clone of the disco potato :) - personally i think it might be a bit big for a little 1.6 :/
