Here's the manifold and all the hardware:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Turbo...spagenameZWDVW
Here's the BOV: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Turbo...40388910QQrdZ1
The catch can is about $15. The TB and MAF $30 each at junkyards. One brake rotor??? ****-crap set of brake pads and a couple other useless pieces of crap.
He does actually say that it's a Mitsubishi turbo. I call bullshit. Here's his turbo: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/DSM-1...39448377QQrdZ1
So, total it up:
Motor and Tranny: $400
Turbo: $340
BOV: $40
Manifold: $240
Catch Can: $15
TB/MAF: $60
Brake Rotor: $30
Other random crap: $30
Total: $1155
Shipping for 400lbs???
The sad thing is, somebody who has never been to miataturbo.net will see this and jump all over it... then come here and say "Hey guys, just wanted to introduce myself... I just bought a engine and turbo... do you think I got a good deal?" I won't have the heart to point him to this thread.
Let's not get into the fact that he still needs another $1500 worth of stuff to make it work.

The protege motor can be used in the miata right? I was thinking of pulling one out at the junkyard and just rebuilding it to save. Then boost my stock motor till it exploded. The I can slap a clutch in while its out.
Or am I just going to blow my motor and get Screwed?

Think again. A mid-mileage 1.6 and tranny shouldn't run you more than about $400 for both. There's a guy selling a 1.6 at m.net for $50 right now. The rest of the stuff on the ground is cheap Chinese knock-off crap.

They're usually not any cheaper, and if they are it's not enough to make the hassle of bringing all the rwd stuff over worth it IMO. There are very cheap Miata engines out there, you just have to shop "carefully".
