Hi from Pittsburgh
Hi. My name is Dave, and I reside in Pittsburgh, PA. I joined this forum because clearly it's the best I've looked through pertaining to turbo Miatas. I plan on purchasing a 94' or 95' as a secondary car and eventually adding a turbocharger. I've spent a good amount of time perusing these forums and decided it was time to join and say hello.
Now time to find someone local to see what ~250whp feels like. I currently drive a G37S and it's okay. Oh my girlfriend and I have two. :party: |
Welcome, HeavyD. Check out the Miata Gallery and post up some pics!

Welcome Dave! I lived in Pittsburgh from the 80s up until relocating to NC this past June. There are some Miata guys around but they mostly hang out on CR. I know of 2 pittsburgh area turbo Miata guys, wannafbody and thejeans who are also members here. Nice choice on the daily ride, My Wife drives a 6MT G35S and it's a great car.

Hello Dave, I've never been to Pittsburgh.
|
Now that we've found love, what are we gonna do with it?

Welcome! I've been out to Pittsburgh a few times and really like it. I'm in Lancaster myself.
A good bet for feeling 250whp is talking to thejeans once he's done his winter rebuild. He's got a nice FM2 that will give you a good idea of it. Also, welcome! |

I would greatly appreciate that. Yeah, I don't see many Miatas around especially boosted ones. I'm located in the south hills. What are your specs for your build and what machine shop are you doing business with? Also, I noticed you're a civil designer. What software do you use? I'm a mechanical and use Creo (ProEngineer).
Nice!! I live in the Robinson area. I use AutoCAD Civil3D and a small amount of ArcGIS. basic specs for the car are Flyin Miata's FM2 kit (Hydra standalone, Garrett GT2560R, 750 Injectors, full 3" exhaust, and other goodies) on a 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata I'm working on rebuilding the block this winter. I am not too sure what the machine shops name is off the top of my head, a really good friend of mine works at Moore Performance and hes got me lined up for the machine shop/guy they use for their builds to look over my block. But i will see him tonight so i can ask. Alot of the specs of the block/internals will depend on how pretty/ugly the block is haha. Then its just a matter of having Ken Hill at Oracle Tuning, tune the car. Ill gladly take you for a ride once its all finished. I'm shooting to have it all finished April/May |

Sounds like you have a pretty good plan for your build and I will gladly take you up on the ride. I have a few friends with Subaru's, and they do business with Moore. Good luck with your build and I'll keep in touch.
