Turbocharger or Supercharger?
Believe it or not, my name is Dave. I live near Pittsburgh PA and bought a black 2001 earlier this year. I have been lurking for a while and decided to finally sign up. I think that the technical knowledge that is present on this forum is pretty impressive.
I am pretty new to working on cars, mostly diagnosing problems with my wife’s TDI Jetta (2 camshafts in 100k? Really?) The most complicated job I have done myself is the water pump and timing belt in the Miata. I have a few things I want to fix up on the Miata, and then I want to try to build my own megasquirt for it. I am an electrical engineer by trade, so soldering together my own ECU is appealing to me. And sorry for the troll title, I thought it would be funny to use that and then just have a normal introductory post. |
TLDR
Go ask miatasupercharger.net and come back after. Dann |

I don't believe your name is Dave. Sorry.
But srsly, we call this place miataturbo as a joke since most of us actually run superchargers. |
A lot of us are doing a motor swap out of the Grumman Hellcat.
Pratt & Whitney Double Wasp FTW. |

lol welcome Dave
Almost unleashed the fury on you due to the title :giggle: |
Ignore these trolls. Everybody knows the only way to make these cars fast is a rotary swap.
|
cammed rotary with remote mount supercharger
|
Well Dave, the question is, do you like cocks and balls? Or pussy?
|
trick question. We like cock and balls and pussy (cats) here.
|
We want pictures of your Cat and Car.... in that order.... If you dont have a Cat, then dont bother with the car pics.... Because we wont care.... lol
|
Davezorz, congrats on signing up at the best site on the web!
|
Welcome! Don't be fooled Dave, this is a cat owners site disguised as a turbo Miata forum. Pics of cats are needed.

Welcome to the forum :makeout: |
A lot of us are doing a motor swap out of the Grumman Hellcat. Pratt & Whitney Double Wasp FTW. Somewhere along the way i confused the info, mine is out of a m18 hellcat :/ Try using a correct API CJ-4 certified HDEO DIESEL ENGINE OIL rather than the shit oil at the Quick-E-Lube and you can alleviate this problem. Of course the Variable Geometry turbo is out of spec, and being held together with a ziptie, and I am pretty sure the EGR Cooler just died for the second time yesterday so it never ends with that car. Be prepared to replace the cam driven high pressure diesel injection pump (if so equipped) shortly. And sorry no cat pictures, we dont have one(to my wife's dismay). |
Be innovative and put a Busa motor in it.
