I would first of all like to say hello. I'm 23 years old and live in the Caribbean (Puerto Rico). I have a 94 1.8 STD Miata with 64,000 miles on it. My father bought it from a neighbor who was leaving for the states in its current conditions. I was a 300zx turbo on it, 38mm turbonetics wastegate, 3in downpipe, built bottom end, 5th injector setup, and a HKS BOV. In the first week my brother was driving it like crazy and broke it (ran too lean). From that moment my dad asked me if I want it and so I took it. Now I'm interested in rebuilding it and doing it right. So here I am.\
Here are a few pics of it. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1377284427 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1377284427 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1377284427 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1377284427 |
Wow!
That is a stunningly bad turbo setup! O_O Welcome and good luck! |
Love the filter setup, very legit.
|
Makes my head hurt to look at. Too many extra parts in there, lines every which way.
Looks like a fun project. Bet it comes out better on the other side. |
Built bottom end... not bad.
5th injector setup.... facepalm. IC piping... please just take it outside and shoot it. From the picture I can hear it saying please kill meeeeee |

I'm especially fond of the BOV placement.
Needs more this, though: https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1377289028 |

I do, however, love the shiny and expensive cam gears in contrast to shit everything else |

Nah bro, it's like what OP has, but better.
|
Do you guys know where I can find a replacement for the complete car carpet?
|
|
Welcome to the forum. We're here to help.
And to laugh a little and point at your car. But then we will probably help you. |
I thought everybody from Puerto Rico was already here in Florida.
|
Yeah we're not laughing at you, we're laughing at your neighbor.
And maybe a little at your brother for breaking it. What's broken? |
What ISN'T broken?
|
Broke the copression rings from pistons 1,3 and 4. Im goin to buy a new piston set and install the with the manley rods which I all ready have and change the complete turbo setup. Do you guys think a TDO5 will do fine with the 1.8 engine since I all ready have it?
