Worlds Slowest "Big" turbo Miata build
Lets do the best to keep the trolling to the minimum. Im a little scatter brained and don't know where to start . I normally start my build threads after the car is already running but I want a good start to finish thread.
So a little background I enjoy a good project car to blow up all the time and work on in my spare time. Previously I had/still have but soon to be much smaller turbo a very built 2012 Sti on a 62MM pte turbo on 32psi car went 10.4 at 134 on only a 2.5 inch homemade downpipe, threw a 68mm turbo on and cranked it up car made 736whp on 36psi eventually bent a turbo tuff I beam/rod bolt on 40psi and e98 . I decided I wanted something RWD and fun so now its time to blow up some Miata motors.
I have been daily driving (even in winter) a 1991 Miata with a 1.8L swap 94 rear dif and some other bolt ons. Great car but needs a big turbo.
Ill keep this parts list as a (purchased)/(wanted anything with a * next to it) up top and keep it updated as I go on so anyone in the future doesn't have to search. (provided the thread gets any traffic anyways). It will be a constant work in progress. I will need a lot more parts then I have posted so far ..like 5x but oh well its a good main start.
Engine
Super tech pistons
Manly h beam rods
ACL race bearings
ARP headstuds
ARP Mainstuds
Transmission
BP six speed or turbo II transmission * (undecided turbo II is where I am leaning)
Fueling
ID1300s*
New fuel lines *
big fuel pump (needs more research leaning towards wally450 e85 if it fits)
ECU
Leaning towards a AEM PNP setup from FAB 9.
Turbo
Bullseye 68mm with t3 housing and .70 ar
The entire turbokit will be made in the garage.
So my first step was to find a motor on clist. I picked up a entire 94 Miata longblock for $350 picked up so I did.
I then took it apart.
There now that's about ready for the machine shop.
Also came across a good deal on some internals. I guess we will find out what some regular manly H beams and supertech pistons can handle .
Lent out my turbo to someone in new mexico to test on his sti he is currently on a efr9180 sadly he didn't get to test it as he lifted his heads and has taken him a while to have the time to put his new block he purchased in. It should be in the mail to head back to me this week.
So heres a picture of it when it was new next to my old pte6266
I know a lot of you are questioning WHY a s368..and why one with a billet wheel and a race cover even more so. Well it is already owned. My powergoals eventually will be fairly high as we do a lot of testing and breaking. As for spool I found a build with a s366 on here and saw some videos the spool allowed a nice powerband this will out spool that cast wheel t4 housing s366 by a bit . This turbo actually even outspooled my pte6266 on my sti. Bullseye sells a legit turbo and is made in the USA
I am always open to suggestions it always helps! Please don't tell me to put a ls1 in it or something instead..that is no fun just as costly and if I wanted that I would just purchase a c5 instead. I am a big fan of big turbo cars/powerbands.
