BRAH, CARBURETOR4LYFE

Probably FedEx's fault.

LOL, I didn't mean 3 or 4 thousand rpm was the width of the powerband, but rather it starts at 3000 rpm and runs out of breath at 4000 rpm.

I got my kit yesterday. Well, I say I got it but it wasn't complete. It was missing a few backordered items. But I did get a really nice IOU.

Well i paid for insurance, so that's good. Hopefully Traksped can make it right.

Refund now or wait 6 years for the next batch to get made.

You can at least spell the name right, its Truckspud

:bowrofl:

Lol

Just received my kit today. Shuiend is coming up this weekend to bring me parts to get ruunning and help me wrench on it!!!!!

Nice! The damn DHL tracking number says mine won't show up until Thursday!

I can't wait to have super spooling TSE goodness!

did you guys opt for the double internal wastegate or triple?

I'm not sure if I should splurge on the triple

Yes!! TSE TURBO TIME! I can't wait. I don't see it on the site yet. Must be filling pre-orders first.

Weld closed the wastegate? Run allofit?

I don't see the churbo option on your website :(

I don't understand why it costs so much. You should offer a lower cost option.

Package deal with XXR's?

Also in for the XXR/churbo/raceland package. Group buy?

XXR/churbo/raceland/itb package is call the club roadster special.

Comes with lube for those late night "tuning" sessions with friends.

:laugh:

I want the ebay manifold option too

I'm having my manifold cross drilled and slotted for optimal cooling and performance.

Yeah, that's one of the features of the ebay manifolds. good idea!

I'm gonna inject fuel into my exhaust manifold to cool the EGT's

e-cool, but cooler

A wet Shot of NOS would be even cooler :party:

How much power can I make with this kit on stock internals? I assume my powercard is compatible with it for tuning? This looks pretty aggressive too, is it going to make any dangerous jumps in TQ at 2750 RPM? I only ask because I plan to do autoX with this at first.

Remember when this thread started, and the kit was supposed to come out in "a couple months"

Two

years

ago

Dang, time flies

Are you planning on buying one, Luke?

Just as soon as it's ready, I will happily buy one.

Minus the turbo since I already have it.

and minus the fueling/electronics since I already have those too.

Serious as a heart attack

Ebay manifold should be standard, with an option to upgrade to the TSE mani.

I knew Brain couldn't give up on his turbro miata. It gives me much joy to read this.

Andrew: Have the newer 6258/6758 v-band options changed anything or are you still planning on sticking with the T25 inlet?

No 6258 v-band AFAIK. TiAL's EWG version doesn't count. 6758's Vband will be large A/R which is also undesirable. We're sticking with the T25 inlet. 6758 will be offered in the same 0.64a/r T25 footprint, with the 7163 coming in a large a/r T25 footprint, so you'll get everything from 225whp to 500whp with the exact same manifold/downpipe.

I really hope there are people out there motivated enough to build a 500 whp miata. The 7163 will hit that easily.

I'd do it if I had $2500 or whatever it is to buy a 7163 - but I don't :loser:

Think about it... it's only $2500 - whatever you get out of your 6758. Not too bad.

I'd do it.

Working on it!

1300cc injector dynamics injectors or bust

Only worth it for those with questionable judgement. ;) I think we'll sell a few 6758 setups to people with built motors who are willing to trade a small spool loss for a ~400whp capable turbo. I suspect that will be enough for almost everyone, but if you really want to see what a 500whp Miata feels like, the 7163 will drop into the same place as the 6758 does.

I have good reasons for stretching the R&D timeline. The manifold has changed substantially from when this thread was started, so naturally the time to market has changed as well. The manifold we release at the end of the day will be an excellent all-round part for everything from smog-legal 225whp 6258 setups all the way up to built motor flex-fuel setups.

I spent a few days last week at AEM in Hawthorne getting some hands-on time with their new Infinity EMS. The high-end EMS setup we'll release for the full kit may or may not have real motorsport-level traction control. :party:

Real like racelogic level of goodness?

<-Twice bitten thrice shy by the AEM paper vs reality effect.

I quizzed them pretty hard on exactly how their TC works vs. RL's system. The only thing AEM is missing (right now) is the ability to allow more slip in a straight line vs. mid-corner. The AEM does things that the RL box won't do, like allow more slip in lower gears. I don't know if the RL box allows for different tooth counts front/rear (i.e. MR2 front hubs, OEM rear hubs), but the AEM allows this.

I have an RL system and my Infinity box is on order, so I'll test both. If the AEM TC doesn't stack up, the RL stays, but I'm not expecting to keep the RL...

You are going to adapt the Infinity ECU for Miatas?? I was waiting for the lower cylinder versions to come out for decent prices and now they are. $1500. I am very interested in that.

That's the plan, yes. Our PnP versions should come in just under $2k all-inclusive.

I have been waiting since you announced this. I had 7k sitting in an account for six months after you first said "soon." I got frustrated and bought a house. I will have zero debt by the end of the summer and ready for all of this. Do not disappoint me again. ;)

:rly: Sounds like there might be a racelogic already wired for a vvt engined NA miata coming out to the used market.

So are you going to go for carb approval on your kit? If you get that, it will put your kit above several competitors.

Sounds awesome! Also sounds like a little feature creep at the same time. The question when still looms large.

For 2014 I just went to a BNR turbo to drop in the same location as an intermediary while waiting. Engine build 2014 off-season and hopefully product will be ready and sorted for 2015 season at this point. Or at least my plans are hopeful for this scenario.

OMG PLZ BE CARB LEGAL AND THEN TAKE MY MONEIES!!!!!!! =D

But in all seriousness though the fact you guys are going though all that trouble of getting carb approved and the kit isnt gonna cost an arm and a leg count me (and most likely everyone in CA) in!

Wonder how many people are looking at this vs. the K-Swap for their track cars.

That K-swap is pretty sweet!

Only the ones who can't do math. This thread is about a turbo kit that will be something like $3-4k? the K24 swap is a $8-9k ordeal minimum. Slight difference.

I'm waiting for the track speed engineering Miata k series swap and efr turbo kit.

3 to 4 k + 5k for a built engine that can output the power that a stock k24 can handle. The k24 turns the Miata into a 10x more potent platform. I was gung-ho for a EFR setup 6 months ago. But the k24 is the route I have decided to go.

Sorry my friend but I do not believe you will live to install it.

Every time this thread gets bumped, a kitten dies.

A question for those of you waiting with baited breath:

Would you pay a substantial amount of money for a prettier, investment cast part over a less pretty (but still attractive) sand cast part? How much extra money would you spend for the prettier part, assuming the function of the two parts is substantially identical?

$0

I would pay more if it had a dick on it, though.

Are your costs significantly more if you do both vs one or the other? If not, offer both with the sand cast unit for the "functional is all I need" people and the investment cast manifolds for the guys who need bling under the hood, at a higher cost per unit.

I am in the "functional is all I need" camp, so I wouldn't be willing to pay more than $25 extra for a smoother finish.
