The downpipe kits will be available for around a year or so, waiting for March to see what happens, although with this pandemic may stay open for a bit longer even if I do choose to leave it behind

I would say your Manifold/DP is just as good as the TSE-Kit and that stuff is/was expensive, overseas even worse... People bought that, too

The downpipe kits are quite expensive, in reality, don't want to make stuff only some people can afford and looking around at manifold availability they seem to hover around $500 mark, although I do try to make the best I can, this is probably part of the problem but they are something I can be proud of regardless of the business side of it

I wish I had invested in crypto early and could inject your business with some cash, because I really believe in your stuff that much. Hopefully you are kidding, but I do understand if it isn't lucrative enough to keep your doors open. Much love from well across the pond Kraken

Joseph ? I have been thinking about ways to get cash in but just leads to more issues because you have to pay it back, was thinking to start with a new platform but don't think it will happen, was looking at TT kit for the 370z, thank you very much and stay safe

If cash flows are a concern @Kraken I think I would focus on just top mount stuff that fits every miata combo that works on AC + Power steering or neither and can hit the largest spread of buyers. I like that you offer bottom mount stuff too but I think that might be too niche to have longterm staying power.

Thought making the low mount would help expand a bit, but will see its still new

I plan on upgrading to your manifold, downpipe, and exhaust in a year or two after I have "proven" my current setup and worked out the bugs of the rest of the system. If I were building the car today from scratch I wouldn't use anything BUT your high mount.

If your setup works no need to change but thank you

I would buy this kit in a heartbeat if they were available.

I am waiting for 4 months for my Magnaflow muffler delivery, its the same with everything sadly, feel sorry for people like fab9 and other who sell hundreds of separate items

I'm sorry, English isn't my first language and I understand, that this perhaps sounded worse than I originally intended it to... I meant, AT LEAST, if not better :D
I'm sure you were just kidding a bit, but I had to put this right, haha.

For the love of the MX5/miata community, do what you need to do, to keep the business running. I'm sure there is a way, you're well known all over the world right now.

Full top mount kits, 1.6 and 1.8 with your amazing intercooler piping and engine management would sell like crazy, please think about it

Thank you, will try

I just wanted to add that I bought your 3" exhaust and it's beautiful. I couldn't be happier.

Nb1 turbo kit
 
Is the nb1 kit still available?

Chiburbian 01-28-2021 09:21 PM

I should clarify... I want to switch to EFR... Your manifold is the best available for that, IMO. Where is the best place to buy it in the USA? (hoping not FAB9)

I would go right to the kraken website and order directly from them; nothing against fab9 but when you can go right to the source, no reason not to. Fab9 is just an in between in this case since most stuff drop ships. I ordered straight from Kraken with no issues and great communication

Rexican 01-29-2021 10:33 AM

I'm on Kraken's site but I don't see an option for this? Do you we PM him directly? I have an NB2 and having trouble deciding between this and an EFR setup.

Are there any comparisons between the GTX2860r 2 vs efr 6258? Thanks !

You don't see an option for what exactly? Do you mean the kit originally listed in this thread? If so, I believe it was a 1 off kit (for the moment) to gauge interest?

To try to tackle your second question, it really depends on your goals. In a lot of ways, they are very similar and can both get you 300+hp, with the EFR generally being regarded as being better in regards of transient response (e.g. full boost, let of throttle, shift, back on throttle and the EFR will be back at full boost quicker) but the rest of your setup matters just as much. Both are good turbros though, and either one wouldn't be the "wrong" decision. Built bottom end and all the supporting mods are needed to really get the most out of either though in my opinion

Kraken 01-29-2021 03:32 PM

Bearing in mind a 6258 is nearly $1800 and the whole kit is $2250, not sure what to say, you can always start with this setup and upgrade after you build the engine

I'm all for this kit. Tell me where to buy or when it will be available. Thanks so much

shirtz 01-31-2021 05:04 AM

do you have details on the radiator im seeing on social media? crosflow? price for IC and radiator please!

crash12190 01-31-2021 07:12 PM

I've thought about making a large purchase from Kraken and becoming a US stocking vendor who won't LIE about availability (cough fab9) If there is large amounts of interest then I can make that happen. Hate to see this kit go away. Such amazing quality.

Rexican 02-02-2021 09:48 AM

I've been trying to learn more about the other company (FMIC.EU)after looking at this thread. Do we think this is the same turbo as the GTX2860r gen2?

Also, there is a pretty nice promo video on youtube for FMIC.eu... just saying.

der_vierte 02-02-2021 01:36 PM

Buy one of these, tell us :party:

flier129 02-02-2021 02:59 PM

If another one of these kits was available, I'd buy one now.

Question, does the 3" low-mount work with OEM power-steering?

Yes, it does. It's tight but it fits.

I'll throw myself in for interest. Especially since you're local to me. This is on my list of must haves as the quality is excellent.
