worth it if it would work?

no the manifold is still backwards

jason

the manifold will work it will be a bottom mounted turbo setup..

the down pipe will not work u will need to modify the larger half a whole bunch to get that to work..

turbo is too small


it would look like this on ur BP

i don't see why the manifold is backwards

Lime, Would that work on a BP in my mx?

that was that was thinking too...after the BP swap i got a whole lot of room...and i just want a little more power outta my bp..i dont need or want a huge turbo..and i dont want to spend a whole wack load of money.

to be honest i think it might work... just make sure you leave some space between the turbo and your radiator but yeah the dp won't work you'll need to mod it a lot to change how it runs, you have to remember the miata engine has the intake manifold opposite ours so that set up has the turbo sending air to the passanger side of the engine and you need it to go the other way

I rather u get a manifold that bolts up to a t3/t4 turbo.. Trevo123


aas for u others

u'll never be happy with a baby turbo or at least i sure as hell won't be..

i understand about $$$$ and what u guys call LAG (honestly stay all motor if anyone is to complain about LAG LAG f--- Lag.)

U think little u get little.

Seems like you know me already Lime.

you two should race!, haha

so...is it possible to do a cheep little turbo set-up for no more then 1000 bucks?...if so send me links.

yes you can, But you will have to piece together a kit yourself.

alright...now for my next question......anyone feel like making a complete list of what i need?...theres no ecu changing or anything is there?..and if anyone has any turbo parts they wanna get rid of let me know...we can work some deals out...thanks for all the help so far!

oh oh pick me! pick me! there is a search button that will lead you to the list.. did you try searching yet? cause it's awesome

sorry to give you a hard time but someone already posted an awesome write up on DIY turbo it would be sad if it went to waste

one of my brothers buddies has a Garret T3 turbo off of a late 90's Saab 900 turbo for 75 bucks...with no shaftplay he says.......should i scoop this up for my future plans?...also know of a intercooler that was custom made for an rx-7 TT with 2.5" inlet /outlet....would that be what im looking for?

i wrote this a while back

[QUOTE=Limegreen MX-3;438938]this is for a 1.8 turbo setup

can't believe im doing this but if i was on a budget i do this hope it helps u all. no offence but this is the way i go if i was cheap or limited in $$$$ no offence guys OK..

for the manifold i choose this its cheap mostly any mazda guy can afford this i can and im a avg. joe here a link

cost $129+30 S&H so total 160 give or take better than the $500 don't u think.

now there is a down fall to the turbo manifold chosen u can't mount a external waste gate so unless u want to get one retrofited ur stuck with using a internal wastegate turbo. not only that, that manifold will work with a t25/t28 size turbo

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TD04-H-T ... enameZWDVW


there others to choose from but i chose this one its cheap u can bid for around $230 + 30 S&H if u want to get one that low. why i chose that one. i can use a cuppler to connect it to intercooler piping u can use a cuppler with a intake pipe to connect ur vaf and for the downpipe i find out what kind of flange i need but it on ebay and get it custom fab

i would chose a precision 350hp intercooler but that would make cost go up.
i leave that up to u to find on ebay any intercooler rated for 350hp is more than enough for u mazda guys. they range from $99-$150 and s&h is from $40-$60 so if u go with a cheap on expect to pat $140 on up depending what u choose. so i guess here a general ideal of what to look for again ur choice



now ur left with intercooler piping again u can find on ebay my choice any 2.5in piping i choose mild steel easier to find some to weld it.. but again ur choice and what u want so expect to pay around $100-$150 for a package deal on ebay that includes s&h in the US of course. so i guess here a general ideal of what to look for again ur choice notice the t clamps if u can find any like that get them u'll never worry about blowing ur damn piping off.




plus u'll need to find some to fab it up to ur turbo kit or take it to a fabricater or preformance shop that can do it.. don't be surprise if labor cost $250 on up to mount ur intercooler and route ur intercooler piping.

now a BOV I get tial i love the way it looks the way it sounds and i will never use anything but this so sorry guys this is one thing i won't go cheap on so at $230 including s&H i get this sounds like a snake hissing so here a pic


but u guys can find whatever BOV u choose or desire on ebay so type in blow off valve and find what u like. the cheap ones go for $70 including s&h.

as for EMS well in not going to go there i don't feel like getting bashed

so i'll leave that up for u guys to pick that for urselfs OK

all i can say is i can not stress how a good decent EMS can give u a reliably turbo setup along with a good tune. with out a good tune ur EMS won't count for shyt. like my boss use to tell me

u can be cheap and fast but not reliable

u can be fast and reliable but not cheap

or u can be reliable and cheap but not fast..

i know i left a lot of loopholes but i hope this helps out a lil anyone want to fill up what i left out please DO but please leave the smart remarks at home or in ur mind i don't have tyme for it. [/QUOTE]
