Noob to boost and on a fact finding mission
 
Hi all,

My name is Brian and I picked up a red 95 miata with 50k miles a few months ago. I absolutely love the car and I've been doing some mods/autocross/learning ect.

Right now the car has some chassis bracing, brake lines and exhaust. I want to turbo but I want to keep it as a reliable daily driver. Next on the list of mods are seats and harnesses, gauges (water and oil temp and oil press) and then I'll begin the road to forced induction.

Miata people have been great so far so don't let me down! :noob:

Rule numbe1 of Miataturbo:

1) we are not here to impress you or let you down. you're here to do that.
as soon as you think otherwise, you will think we somehow have to conform to your idea of who and what we need to be, cry about it when we aren't, and then we will ravage you and you will rage quit.

........so welcome to the forum

I'll let you down. I let everyone down. No one likes me.

18psi 01-13-2016 02:01 PM

I like you :party:
You're crazy, but I like you

Come back to my thread. We slowed down a bit. And I have cool updates and fancy parts for once.

Read before you do that: Safety Gear Flow Chart

It was more of a friendly suggestion than an expectation but thanks for the welcome. I'm not one to rage quit.

The safety gear is a work in progress. HPDE is a ways off, partly because I know my safety gear is a ways off too. I have a lot research to do before making purchases and lots of learning to do with autocross before stepping up to HPDE.

That's good. In that case you will be fine here :likecat:

The way to properly turbo your miata is.
1. Install a standalone ecu and wideband O2 controller, learn to tune on the stock motor.
2. Install larger injectors and retune fuel.
3. Install a stronger clutch, FM or ACT are the only 2 brands you should consider.
4. Install turbo. Retune for positive pressure.
5. Profit.
