"thuper duper awethum pothum" FM/ABSURD/CUSTOM *uber spool* turbo setup
 

Hey all, I bought a turbo setup here almost two years ago now, and I've decided to go another direction with my car.

I bought the setup from Chilicharger, from this thread: https://www.miataturbo.net/miata-par...rbo-kit-84683/
He himself bought it from 18psi, from this thread: https://www.miataturbo.net/miata-par...o-setup-82263/

Kit includes everything listed and shown in those pics; I never got around to installing it (just fondled it).

I'm asking the same $2500 for it, including shipping (depending where you're located). Price is firm at the moment—don't need the cash to finance any other purchases, so not in a rush to sell.

Part of my plans for the kit included fuel injectors, so I'd bought a set of GT500 injectors from CJ Pony Parts, plus the requisite EV6 female-Denso male adapters, FlowForce 12mm tophats/extenders, and a set of Denso lower seals. I'd include all that for what I paid: $191.

Whoever buys it this time has to promise to actually install it :rofl:

:laugh:

Good luck with sale, good street setup for a normal sane person.

Where's your sense of adventure? Live a little!

Holy shit I was just thinking about this kit the other day!

Would install instantly. No funds however. Would LOVE to put my 3" Artech exhaust back on without it being 300dB.

Buy it back and run it!

this would be the perfectest daily driver setup. all the torque, all the time, enough to have a hoot, but not enough to bend rods.

that manifold was custom made, for G, by none other than TurboTimmah of ABSURDFLOW. Need I say moar?

Wow such a deal I'm actually tempted... but I'd have to re-cam and shim so boooo

Yeah!

EO2k 7/10/13. It's the last manifold on my spreadsheet actually. Wow, I haven't made a manifold in almost 4 years. Wow, no one has used this manifold is almost 4 years either.

Someone use this manifold please!

Can you please post pictures of the parts you have? It would persuade me to waste more of my money.

Or have you already sold this?

Downpipe, IC tubing, hard lines:

Turbo+mani, more IC tube, heat shields, other misc. parts:

Damn, I'm tempted to do something youthful, impulsive, and absurd, and try to figure out how to make this kit into a fast-spooling, low-boost, track-reliable setup. M-U-S-T. R-E-S-I-S-T. T-R-U-B-O.

[Looks for compressor map for that turbo.]

^ You arent allowed to. Im close to having enough monies. Plus this isnt a track setup. This is a decent street setup.

Can anyone confirm that the downpipe included in this kit fits the stock midpipe on a 2001?

Yes.
And this can absolutely be a track setup: strong mani, check. inconel, check. everything else set up to take abuse, check.


...wait, I see what you were doing there :D

Yes, I was going to have to buy an NA downpipe to make this work with my car.

Thanks for helping out with the sale, 18psi! ;)

I thought you had to have a cast manifold to reliably track your turbo Miata?

Hey! I know that manifold!

I honestly slightly regret selling it. Its sale caused me to spiral into my current oblivion.

Luckily for you it's for sale again!

Up until the TSE manifold came out, Absurdflow was the absolutely best you could get. Then I would say Artech. I would personally still take an Absurdflow/Artech manifold over any other cast manifold besides the TSE one.

Thanks Larz!

Abe@ARTech and Matt@Hellafab both produce great manifolds, and they look prettier too!

If this manifold was to be used on a dedicated track car, bouncing off the rev limiter on banked straights like Sav does, I would recommend some gussets overlapping the welds. Or just run it and fix/gusset the cracks when they form; fixing weld elbow manifolds is relatively simple, not so for most cast manifolds.

Often you don't even have to pull the manifold off the engine :D

So does this come with an intake? or just the heat shields for an intake?

Does this fit the oem midpipe?

Still unsure what model years this kit is for. I have a 2001 with A/C.

Leafing through the various for sale threads, it seem this will fit an A/C car, but still not sure about total fitment, intake, or stock exhaust compatibility.

Another PM sent.

Supposedly the fit is for an NB. I was going to have to get the additional parts to make it fit my NA and hope I could sell the NB-specific parts (AFAICT the intake heat shield and downpipe). EO2K and 18psi should be able to answer any other fitment questions.

Just buy this already, so I don't have to.

Go for it man, my final offer was shot down. I'll just go with a brand new MKturbo setup, or FM setup.

Here batter batter batter!

Boosting this to the top (sorry, couldn't help myself).

Sold locally.

So no one on here? Just for my records.

He may be on here; but I wouldn't know his handle here.

Hey yeah new owner Zack here! This will be installed finally.

Thank goodness. Please make an intro and build thread so we can follow along with the awesome :bigtu:

welcome.

you bought a really solid kit, you will love it.
