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.

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:

Well, there's nothing wrong with it.

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

I can pretty much guarantee that those are $89.99 shipped Ebay fare.

And to laugh a little and point at your car.


But then we will probably help you.

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?
