Cardriverx's (Steve's) TURBO Miata.. Megasquirt 2 / New TURBO
Wow, the same day, two years from the last update. Weird! So like I said, I just got the MS2 in (bought with a Megasquirt 3 case so I can update the processor soon!). The closed loop boost control is GREAT! Among the various other updated features. It is now running full stand alone, no pussy **** here. Also, my last turbo blew (**** in the oil passage) so I took a risk and bought a CXracing ebay T3/T4 turbo. Build quality looks great, and it works well so far. all for $160! It also has a V band downpipe outlet, which is great. The turbo lags, sure, but it hits HARD and thats what I like. Oh, PLEASE Ignore the ****ty welds. All I have is a Harbor Freight Flux welder, and the welds it makes look like ****. But they do hold well aha. 5/23/08 PICTURESS! ------------ Megasquirt is working! 13 psi is fast! check post 123 on page 7!! ----------- Megasquirt is on the way, along with 460cc injectors. I will beable to run 13 psi with this setup, aka around 230 hp! --------------- Now at 9 ish PSI ---------- Done!!! Its alive!! boostin at 5 psi =). Pics below. -------------------------------- Alright, im makeing this thread for my 93 miata c package. Im building a DIY turbo kit for it, and I just put in a MOMO start seat (very nice seat). So far, Ive got a bosch BOV, vortec 12:1 FMU, Bipes timeing controller, and hopefully a t3 turbo + gauge. I still need a manifold and downpipe, and all the pipeing for the turbo. Oh I cannot wait! EDIT- I now have a downpipe, 18x12x3 intercooler, t3 turbo, and BEGI mani. Need - intake pipeing, oil lines, some v band sets. Last edited by Cardriverx; 05-23-2010 at 01:22 AM. |

FMU=blown motor THey are absolute garbage. That thing is gonna put your injectors at 175-250% duty cycle. THen your gonna drop in injector and pop the motor. Do it right the first time and get proper engine management. |

Well, the thing is that the greddy kit comes with a fmu, and they last a long time on alot of miatas. I just need to use it till I get some more cash. |

I got it off using brute force =). So now I gotta fit the wastegate on it, make a downpipe, and get some small stuff sorted out. I cannot wait =).

what did that turbo come off of? Why did you ditch the internal wastegate? Are you upgrading any engine hardware with this turbo install, i would definately reccomend getting all arp stuff...especially the rod bolts and head studs and whatnot....just be careful with it, i don't wanna see your motor blow up on you. good luck with it

ok, update. Got an intercooler, should have a downpipe comeing. But because I messed up the rear bumper/decklid/finishpanel, the project is on hold for alittle.. But all I need is intake tubeing.. and some little things.
turbo4g, I am using a internal wastegate from a nother turbo, with a lower setting. The orgional wastegate was set at like 13 psi, imma run 5 to 6 for now. As for the internals, many miata guys run the FM or BEGI kits at 12 psi on stock everything, makeing about 220 hp. Ill be fine, thanks tho! |

Got falkin azenis rt-615s a few days agao! Holy ****, these tires are awesome. After a nice drive to get the oils off, they stick like glue! I switched from crappy all seasons, and what a difference. I also got a alignment at mickys alignment.. Heres the specs I gave them
FRONT caster - max camber - -1.5* toe - 1/16 out BACK camber - -2* toe - 1/16 in This is called a icehawk alignment for the miata guys, and it suits the miata well! great turn in, and very neutral mid turn. I cannot wait to autox on these tires. A++!! Now my car is like on the bumpstops every turn lol! As for the turbo, I just got a 2.5 inch downpipe and exhaust w/ high flow cat for $120. It is made for the later miatas, but all I need to do is change the hangers around. Now all I need are oil lines, some v band sets, and the intake pipeing! Man, I cant wait. |

are you one of his friends just joking around? cause if not you're a huge ****ing idiot. miatas are the most commonly raced car in history, watch some of the club racing vids and tell me it's a chick car, we have an 07 gti and it's more of a chick car than a miata ( it's my girlfriends daily driver btw ) and for the record his little miata with a t3 will **** all over an mkv gti anyday
