Update
The turbokit from Revent is done now and will be shipped soon.
Unfortunatley I have a cold garage this winter, so I wont be able to install it until spring :) I keep wondering about crankcase ventilation though. Im split if I should just VTA or catchcan with a checkvalve to the intake mani. Just another picture from last summerhttps://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...f54e35c836.png |

Thanks for the input and welcome guys!
Forgot the more essential part of the introduction - Who I am :D I'm a Swedish fella as the titles says. 24 y/o Currently working as a hairdresser Living with my boyfriend... Just kidding :DD The first and foremost reason why I joined MT is because I wanted to join a forum with alot of crazy builds towards turbocharging the Miatas. I cant imagine how insanely fun a 200+hp one would feel. My goal is one day to turbo my NA. I want to keep the overall track/stance look of it now. Just repainting the hardtop and overfenders this Winter and getting rid of the chrome stuff. You will soon see me posting in the forums, just gotta search alot and see if my questions allready has been answered. Nice to meet you! Wow awesome build! |
I like the smooth look of your intake manifold? Did you sand it smooth or use a high fill primer?

I think they: removed casting marks,sandblasted it, polished it, primed it and then painted. I was in a low period of doing anything on the car so they really gave me a boost :giggle: |
Bad news!
Miata started to blow a lot of oil through the breather filter. Did a leakdown (wasnt really needed when I saw that plug 1&4 was covered in oil but 2&3 were fine). Turned out bad on those two cylinders, suspecting the original rings have given up after almost 180.000 kilometers. I got a new 1.6 engine (50$, 120.000km and a gearbox (for free). Will pull the old one and keep it for a future forge/rebuild. Currently saving up for a house, so the forge build might be a long while away. So in the meanwhile Im just putting the "new" 1.6 in and turning down the boost a little to at least have some fun :) |
Too bad, did you get it up and running again?
