| The Project Miata | ||
|
|
The 510 is taking a long time to finish. And I was getting tried of driving just a stock Miata (HEY at least it's RWD). I wanted cheap instant gratification. So I turbo'd my Miata in one day, for under $400 with a lot of help from my friends. Thanks Bryan and Chris | |

The idea of the project was to be finished in
a day. I didn't spend much time on the exhaust. the T25 with the GReddy
nock off manifold does not leave much room for exhaust about 2 5/8 to be
exact. The was the only way to fit 2 1/2 tube Yes, It was a VERY loud drive home. |

Got it running | |
 |
We started at 11:00 Am, Finished at 4:00 Am. Then we tuned it pig rich, drove home and was promptly pulled over for loud exhaust lucky for me the cop thought it was Bryan in his 240sx. I later I welded on a $20 Cherry Bomb...hahahaa | |

How Does it drive? Holy shit, this jerry rigged setup works REALLY well. I have not dyno'd it or raced any one but it is A LOT faster. It has a lot of lag, It doesn't make 7psi until 4500 rpm. But when it does it sure is fun. This was a really fun project and I'm happy I did it. The only problem I had was it blew a spark plug out of the head!!!! but that was a easy fix (helicoil) Project Status: SOLD to Chris for $1200. I need money for the CHEVY PROJECT |
