They have license plates on the front in alaska? I thought they used a snow plough!

The plate is a Euro jobby?

NIIIIIIICCCEEE!

That just made my day

Who ever said that the factory radiator was not very good??

You can find on Flyin' Miata's website www.flyinmiata.com who sell turbo kits and have been around for 25 years the following: 1990-93 FM II Hydra turbo system The FM II is a legend in the Miata performance world, and this is the latest and most powerful version. Expect approximately 230 hp at the ...

What if I buy a 1.6 Engine, and rebuild it, and sell it.

Would I get my money back(not including labour)?

MX5 has about 120HP stock, while 80HP/L = 128 on a 1.6. So we should be using forged anyway. Don't think so. Back to this Hypereutectic Alloy, what advantages do they provide? Lighter? Cheaper, please read the post again :lol: haha yes I read that, I just thought they would provide some other sort ...

I wouldn't advise this. You can follow this advise all you want. Happy rebuilding.

Thats 206kw at the Crankshaft!

I want to see a stock motor run 250whp! I think you will find, that is at the flywheel, if not I will be impressed. Low comp pistons are over rated, that is if you call 9.1:1 low compression. Another motor geek I know is running 9.4:1 forged pistons on 27psi boosted engine. Isn't that why we use an ...

*Good, strong pistons and rings ( I am not just saying "forged" type here), What would you recommend in this department? Forged pistons? Or standard but coated? Regards Dave Hypereutectic Alloy ( 10% silicon) cast pistons are a good choice when value for money is of concern. Although the advantage ...

I agree with jif, The final tweeks and fine tuning are just that, left till last. To TRIPLE the flywheel horse power safely,you will need: *Turbo system capable of the required FLOW for the HP target (boost is not the defining factor as some might think). Includes intercooling and 2 1/2 -3 " Exhaust...

If it's a good running engine, How much would it cost to rebuild roughly? Which one is better to rebuild 1.6 or 1.8? why would turbo charge a engine so expensive? I thought small turbos and intercoolers are cheap nowadays... I only need 180-200bhp at the wheels. Start with a decent engine From Mazl...

WARNING the following post is little bit techy. Please feel free to go to the * section if feeling cranial congestion. The reason why you get a CREEP up to 12 psi boost above the can rating of 8psi and then see it weasel its way down again is : Boost pressure rises to 12psi on the inlet manifold sid...

I can think of better things to spend money on, like pimple cream and Swedish bedroom accessories. I asked a question that was unanswered from the start of the auction: "can you please take a picture of the exhaust ports as they are now please"....... did you see a reply? Buyer beware! Yeah, it's re...

#4 box going in in three weeks, I think I will use wing nut fasteners this time in anticipation.

Done, I have edited the post for you.

Go for the Link, you will be able to remove the restrictive MAF sensor and have a bigger head room for HP later on if needed.

I can get those for you in heavy urethane $ 40+ some postage. PM me please.

Funny you bring this up as it is now my main drama I am trying to hold 12 psi but Im just spiking 12 quickly and tapering back to about 8. I have tried sourcing the wastegate signal from just before my throttle body as I had heard this helps but its no better. The Greddy kit TD04 comes with a 5.5ps...
