Hello from PNW
Hello fellow Miata enthusiasts,
I'm Brenden and I have had my 2000 Miata for a little over 2 yrs. I'm 48 and have some issues with projects, always have a few too many. I got my Miata so that I could drive it back and fourth to work, about 4 miles, and to have a toy to Autocross/Trackday. I've worked on Cars, Trucks, and Airplanes for 30 Plus years. But this is going to be my first experience with Turboing a car that wasn't a factory turbo and tuning ECU's. I have been researching this site and some others for a couple years. I have my copy of Corky's book. In preparation of going turbo I have Installed a new FM stage 1 Clutch, supermiata crossflow radiator, coolant reroute, Roll Bar, Fox Coil overs, MS3pro PNP, LC-2 WB, and Perfect tuning guage. I have been doing some tuning on stock motor and the car seems to be running well, but I'm defiantly going to have some questions. I have acquired injectors but have not installed them yet. Also I have a second motor to build with forged rods, pistons Etc,Etc.. I have a 6 speed and 3.9 torsen and also have a 3.3 R&P. For future needs. I'm patiently waiting for my TSE EFR 6258 setup to arrive. I'm looking forward to meeting some of the PDX area turbo folks and maybe getting a ride in a Turbo'd Miata. Thanks for listening to my banter. Brenden https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...501c6aafcd.jpg |
Bueller, Bueller.

Welcome to the forum! I'd be happy to give you a ride, but weather and work obligations make that a little tricky this time of year.
Are you planning to install the turbo prior to swapping in your built motor? What's your projected timeline for everything? |
Welcome. There are a few in the area. Aidan is in oregon, then Scaxx and I are both in Seattleish area.
|
Welcome, and good start!
|
Thanks for the replies. Yes I plan to install turbo on stock motor first. Time line for that is to start install when TSE parts show up. Hopefully that will be soon.
Built motor will follow, I have not disassembled second motor yet to see how it looks inside to get an Idea of overbore and bearings. I need to find a local machine shop that knows Miatas. Then I can get my parts list in order. |
Tse stopped building turbo kits so you might be waiting a while.
