Decided to say Hey. Long time lurker. Name is Jeff. From the Dirty South state of Mississippi. Not new to miatas by any means. Have had a few over the years.
Currently own a 99 which is undergoing a turbo 13b swap (Terrible idea by the way) https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1372235542 Also posses this POS stockish Na6 with some lame ass 15x10s stizanced out like fat Oprah on a hoveround. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1372235542 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1372235542 Sorry for any eye pain that the above has caused. |
have you learned nothing?
|
Well at least you've come to acceptance that stance is gay and 13b swap is retarded.
The 1st step is going from denial to acceptance. There is hope for you. |

OP, more info on the setup. At first I thought it might be one of those FM supercharged turds when I read "boost gauge". Thankfully not. |

wow that's a bummer good luck with the rebuild. sounds kinda shady of the seller of it
|
What do we know about the new 2.0 Miata motors? Do they have a similar problem with the rods? Do we know what the stock motor will handle before rods or other stuff fails?
Does anyone make upgraded parts like pistons, rods etc? Boosted NCs are not really that common yet... |
Ouch. Did the seller tell you the car was tuned and good to go? What standalones are available for NCs? Might want to get your hands on one before the next disaster.
Is there more than a forged crank in the later bottom ends? That's all I've seen mentioned. |

I was planning on getting my local tuner to take a look at the maps, and do a few dyno pulls to be sure, but I didn't get a chance. I was under the impression the later 2.0s had a forged crank, forged rods, new/better designed pistons and wrist pins. |

He said it was professionally tuned, did not say where. He didn't install or tune the turbo setup. He had it all professionally done, so I wasn't to worried about a possible backyard hack job.

I'm going to lol hard if it was TDRong |
