so i have a 90 with a bad crank andit needs bearings, rods, and pistons....i fucked it up pretty good. block is in good condition but besides what i already have to replace im really not sure where to start on mods with this car would like to get some help.

before anyone wants to start calling me dumb and **** i would like to say in my defence that ummm well i can turn a wrench just as good as everyone on here.

this is my first import and i want to be able to do pretty much everything on the street with the car i have my goal piont just really not sure how to get there...help please?

 

Are you 14?

 

you should get headers and exhaust, some cams, light flywheel, should get you to 300. next poster please.

-Kris

edit: forgot the power card. like 5 of those. they are good for at least 25 each.

 

Do you have ten thousand dollars?

 

10K? Thats a lowball savington... a 350hp turbocharged miata is more costly than that. **** im lucky enough to have had a 210hp automatic turbo miata, and that was a dynojet day with the local old fogies. I'd be lucky if I can build to that or even past that again starting from scratch again next year with my budget and plans

 

OP,
You are dumb and ****.

 

We need to setup a Loveline-esque thread (Call it Miata-line) where we'll have a team of MT vets answer random callers/posters. We could have guest appearances by different members & stuff.

It would be a great focal point for threads just like this.

 

OP Don't listen to the h8ers

git that ebay mani and boost that ****, you don't need a standalone. They are just jealous of your mad wrenching skills.

 

 

If you could, you wouldn't be asking the questions.

 

 

But I'm sure most of us can spell: defense.

 

Maybe not, but i can quote it with the best of them!

 

I don't know why you guys are acting like it's difficult to make 350hp. Drop this in and you're done, and barely over 6 grand:

NEW GM CRATE ENGINE LS3 430HP Gen 3/4 (LS1/LS2/LS3/LS6/LS7/L92/LSX) | eBay

 

Nuh uh bro, it costs starting at $35k. Flyin' Miata said so.

 

Wait, you just can't climb in the ring with Ali 'cause you think you box!

 

I sell bell housing adapater to bolt the miata 5-sp up to that create motor. PM me.

 

OP, get junkyard motor, build diy turbo kit, buy ems, boost stock motor to 250whp or so, enjoy a fast car. This should only cost you between 2 and 4 grand. Now if you want 350whp, you better have some deep pockets. Lots of things fail over 250whp, read up.

A turbo miata, so easy a caveman could do it.. right guys?

 

OP should really not buy expensive ****, e-bay your way to 350hp, I see nice kits with bawler turbos on there these days to go there on stock injectors with a nice fpr, and very good quality east block engineering into that ss manifold, dont worry about ems..nice fpr should do the trick!

if BIG turbo no fit, PM good and learned member on here to borrow SAWWZZZAAAALLLL!
