Looking for some extra power
 
okay so i have a simple 93 stock miata with cruise control (if it matters) and im looking for a little extra power, looking to shave maybe a second off 0-60 times, two seconds if possible, but just enough for me to pass people quickly when needed

but once my finances agree with me id love to make this a drift project car so a turbo that can be upgraded later is what im looking for

currently price isint too much of an option but if its possible under 2 grand that would be great, but throw me some turbos and numbers and help me look for what to save for

Just buy a car from a wrecker yard and tell your friends youre a pro drifter.

thirdgen 02-16-2013 07:53 PM

Tyler. Don't listen to these buttfaces.
This is what you need to do:

At the risk of being banned . . .

Here's a serious answer. First thing I would do is get a Megasquirt, delete your AFM and start learning how to tune.

Beyond that, yeah . . . read. It's all here.

thirdgen 02-16-2013 08:13 PM

Most of all...you need NOS. 2 of the big ones.

Tyler,

I'm really glad you've decided to allow us to answer this question for the bajillionth time. However, I'll take just a moment to help you out.

Just go buy one of these.

Miata Turbo Kit

They're good for your short-term power goals, and will support up to 600hp. They'll probably last longer than the life of the car. People on here have had great results with this setup, just look up user Dem768 and check out his car.

thirdgen 02-16-2013 09:15 PM

Ilovetacotaco is all you need to know.

Not possible unless you fab most of the system yourself and buy a used turbo, etc... Cast log mani, downpipe and turbo alone stress your budget. Just read, it's all here.

But thank you for visiting the zoo and feeding the animals... It keeps the rest of us noobs from getting eaten so quickly.

Fuck that. Put the NOS in the gas tank and gas in the NOS tanks YOLO!

aaronc7 02-17-2013 02:37 PM

make sure you put the NOS energy drink in the gas tank as well

some overnight parts from Japan, and you'll be able to do this.

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1361132490

you might be able to turbocharge your car for $2,000 with a decent used kit, but that doesn't include all of the other things you'd need like suspension, roll bar, etc. you can't just turbocharge it. you could probably get EVERYTHING done for $4,000, as in a turbocharged car with the supporting stuff.

gearhead_318 02-17-2013 03:37 PM

The Shanghai-S kit costs like $1,600. For that price you might be able to build your own Megasquirt and still have a bit left over for misc. shit.

Jackson racing cold air intake should get you some horsepower for your effort.

mx5-kiwi 02-17-2013 05:03 PM

You might also want to look up the timing mod.....

but best advice so far is to get a megasquirt and learn how to use it, tune it. Then you will be in a position to go further....

How about you paypal me the money and save your self the trouble of installing it?

mx5psi 03-27-2013 04:28 AM

power adders
 
its easy and already been mentioned once or twice

get MS3 and remove AFM

i think this is a dirty word on MT maybe ITB if your looking for Na power but still small gains

or just get a entry level turbo kit and have fun i am building one now

Eric64 03-27-2013 03:23 PM

Really
 
You guys are freakin funny. The responses are hilarious, but I'm glad it wasn't me "lookin for some EXTRA power". I don't think I'll ever ask a question until I know so much I don't need to ask it.;)

Step1: Sell your '93 Miata
Step2: Add your $2000 budget to the money you got from selling your Miata.
Step3: Buy a '93 300zx N/A
Step4: Go bug the zdriver forum

Best guess puts the total slightly above the 2,000 mark as you cheap out on the wrong part and you can throw your money away.

Used FM or BEGI cast log manifold and downpipe - 2-300?
Used GT2560 or 2552 - $3-700
CXRacing intercooler - 150 bucks, tops
Used MS:PNP - 600? Probably less off a part out thread.
Used injectors, rc500's should suffice - 200?
Various hoses and o2/knock sensor - 500, less if you do it right.

Total: 2500, give or take.

Theoretically you could do this for under 2,000 without much trouble. Assuming you can keep the torque down to spare the bottom end it shouldn't blow up, either. There's plenty of part-out threads on here, shouldn't be too hard to get this even lower. Avoid chinese turbos if you want to avoid (very real) possible headaches.

triple88a 04-05-2013 09:34 PM

Used begi/fm manifold and downpipe go for 200-300 each, not together.
