hi just got into miatas picked up a 97 for a winter project.first going to get it up and running.then going to go with an evo8 turbo.prior toys about a half dozen dsms that damn near bankrupted me a 951 a supra and a 99 turbo haybusa which was a hell of alot of fun. a few others not really worth mentioning basic goal for the miata is to have a fun little street/weekend toy.

 

Welcome.

Post some pics of your prior toys. They sound interesting

 

 

Goddamn, looks mean

 

Welcome! thats a bad-***-motherfucking bike!!

 

You're not a newb, you're a car and bike guy that just found this forum.


Looks like you've got some prior turbo experience...what are your hp goals with the Miata? Daily driver, badass street machine, or going to track it in some manner?

Welcome.

 

damn.....makes me miss my TSI. same color scheme.

 

hi thanks it was alot of fun she was a 1397cc bigbore bike with a innovative gt70 dual ballbearing turbo air to water intercooler microtech water injection ect... took me about 6mos to fab it all together complete monster on the street. but i'm 37 with two little girls so i got rid of it before it got rid of me.other 87 porsche 951 dynoed 358 at 16lbs. other 90 talon awd 2.4 stroker built tranny tec full list of toys she hit 508h/p my eagle crank snapped and that was the last straw for thAt one. been playing with turboed toys for about 15 years now.

 

here she is the day i got her right now she stripped down on jackstands working on getting the body straight then reshoot her black cherry. right now main goals are for a mild build "still have a ton of reading to do". sticking with a dsm turbo something i know but have a fresh evo8 turbo. going with a megasquirt for management no hurry of it all shes going to be is a fun little weekend toy that has to be reliable enough to jump it and take 1500 miles trips at any givin time. i dont want a monster i take out and have to tow home.

 

O_O......


I would so kill myself

 

Welcome home.

 

Welcome aboard browning. Nice project you have there

I can surely see you know what you're doing so I'll keep my suggestions to a minimum.

Based on your above quote I would tell you to search about these cars' cooling issues. A rather simple "coolant reroute" will take care of that.

Enjoy your stay

 

thanks for the invite and any advice will be greatly appreciated

 

Salem Arkansas??? I used to talk to a hot preachers daughter there.

The motor is good for 250 dependably to the ground. That is equal to a 425hp camaro.

You may think about turbo'ing the motor you have, until you build another one. Atleast there would be no down time.

How much power you want, or building for?

 

I'll be the first to say it, use these: ".,?!' please. Welcome, you seem very turbo savvy, however your posts are very difficult to read since they have no punctuation, and that WILL make any problems you have difficult to diagnosis and treat. Thankfully you seem to have decent spelling, and have been using complete words. Yay.

 

yep salem but fulton co. there are three salems in ark what was her named i actually married the preachers daughter from here

 

Welcome. No noob flame here.

 

Thats cool. I don't remember her name. I just talked to her a couple of times at church connventions. That was like 7 years ago. LOL

My dad was a preacher too. Her dad preached at the Church of God of Prophecy. I'm not for sure which one she lived in.

It's a small world.

I grew up in Texarkana, Ar.
