Hello from a soon to be turbo'd 92
Hello everyone. My name is Kenny and I have a red 92. It is currently stock but I am in the process of turbo-ing it. I've been lurking around the forums for a few weeks now but this is my first real introduction post. Anyways, my 92 has a 1.6L which has decent compression test numbers. I will be pulling the motor in the upcoming weeks due a small oil leak (which I believe to be the rear main seal). I also planned on re-freshening the head while I am at it. As far as my turbo build, I'm looking to run around 10-12 lbs of boost and hopefully making around 200 whp / 200 ft-lb torque. I have acquired the following parts so far:
Garrett T25 (journal bearing unit from SR20DET) Flyin' Miata turbo exhaust manifold BEGi downpipe ebay intercooler (11"X11.75"X 2.75" core) 1.8L driveshaft/half shafts/differential Looking to purchase: DIYPNP ecu AEM UEGO wideband clutch kit (Flyin' Miata?) 460cc or 550cc injectors (rx7) I know my list isn't complete yet but any comments or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks :D |
Hi fluffypillows, enjoy your stay :)

It actually is fairly complete, as far as I can tell.
Don't discount the price of intercooler pipes, couplers, and clamps. I recent changed my over-the-radiator setup to use the same intercooler but go around the radiator instead. I reused a few pipes, and already had half the couplers. The "upgrade" still cost me $100 in a few more pipes, couplers, and clamps. |
I was thinking of purchasing an ebay intercooler piping kit but buying the hoses, couplers and t-clamps from a more reputable source. Good or bad idea? How do most people mock up their pipe routing?

Thanks for joining, fluffypillows!

Thanks everyone. I will go ahead and continue to do my research. In the mean time, here are some pictures. I got bumped a few months ago and now there's a long 5-6 inch paint chip on my front bumper :cry:
