@NASTYTHEBOY Been there done that. Just not this time. Bent a rod on a bad rev limiter setting on the original engine in the car doing a pull against an eclipse. He said I shot flames back about 20 feet behind my car.
crazy, I know, but I don't have a mx5, I've got a corrado g60 and a fiat 500 (2007) both tuning... if I will ever buy an mx5, that will be my bumper. I LOVE IT (!!)
@Drlaggless Unless it is a modded Z4, it probably wouldn't have tossed that Miata's salad. at 23lbs of boost was putting down well over 350whp and weighed around 2,000lbs. When running around 16lbs of boost and putting down around 260whp, ran the 1/4 at 13.0@118mph spinning all the way down the track. When running over 20lbs of boost, pulled on many of the cars in the SuperSpeeders videos until the 125mph top speed, gear limited. Had full suspension too. I miss it dearly.
For some reason it really get to me when people call it a gay car, bur I jjst have to remind myself that I have a hot girlfriend and the funnest damn car ever built, so screw the haters.
curious....will the newer model front end fit the early model? With out much fabrications done? I'm getting tired of pop ups. And I like the stationary lights. If anyone knows, please let me know.
@wajalama I was trying to roll down the hill into the lot to see what went wrong. It turns out I ran out of fuel. There is a race fuel cell in the trunk without a fuel level and a foam core to keep it from sloshing. I thought I had a 1/4 tank, apparently I was mistaken.
nice burnout lol i have a 90 NA....best car ever. too damn reliable! KazeRSX is right, get past the whole gay car thing and your good. just use that stereotype to make the car sick as shit and ppl wont think your gay:D
Okay this is a serious question and I'm prolly gonna get roasted for it... But are Miata's good cars? I was thinking about buying one because its a RWD and boy do i love imports. So an RWD import is my cup of tea ;). I was just wondering how far people have modded these things. Any help would be appreciated.
The car did not get 30mpg at that time. The tank in the car was mounted in the trunk without a fuel guage. The tank had foam inside which did not allow to check the level of fuel in it. I thought I had more fuel than I did. The car's only body upgrade was the Bomex front bumper to replace the damaged factory aero bumper. It was also necessary to have a larger opening to fit the intercooler. Although I did get compliments on the bumper, you are entitled to your opinion. FYI stock Miatas get 29mpg
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
yup, nice excuses, 29 mpg? my miata was stock except for the radiator, and i got 34 mpg, never driving real conservative.......i still say you're a stupid fuck for running out of fuel, i have a pickup that gets 8 mpg that you cannot check the fuel level either.......and i've never run it out of fuel, i pay attention to the mileage and know roughly where my fuel level is
why are you so angry? I did not insult you, nor did I attack you, I explained the situation, big deal, I ran out of gas. Also, I too achieved over 30mpg before mods, the 29mpg was EPA highway. Also, please refrain from using profanities as young adults read these too. Thank you. Besides the radiator, what mods were done to your miata if any? Was in an M1 ('90-'97) or an M2 ('99-'05)?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
no mods, thats why i said "my miata was stock except for the radiator" ........i thought that said what mods if any i had done to my car......fuck you are dumb
In the video? Or you mean, where is it now? In the video, it just ran out of fuel. It had a fuel cell in the trunk with no fuel guage, so I had no idea until I looked inside the tank. The car has since been sold to someone in Maryland, but without the turbo setup and standalone engine management. I believe it is currently raced in the Spec Miata Series in the SCCA.
The front brakes on this car consisted of Wilwood four-piston calipers, two-piece slotted rotors, braided lines, race-grade brake fluid, and high-temp pads. The total price for the parts was $995 and I installed them in about an hour.
Turbo Kit was from racingmazda in texas, but with some modification as i used a slightly larger turbo, larger injectors and a few other upgrades from their highest kit available. I was running an electromotive tecIII. On my M2 Miata to run a standalone, I had to use an M1 alternator and a few other changes needed to be made to allow all my factory controlled items to work. It took us about a week for whole installation, working about 8-10 hours a day.
Bomex...it was the only bumper that was fiberglass and had an opening large enough for the intercooler with a low enough front lip that matched the factory side sills...it was so low though that it scraped everywhere, but i loved it!
I actually did the front bumper first...you can make enough room for a large intercooler with the stock nose if you want to...but the bomex nose does allow for quite a bit more airflow and it eliminates the front fog lights.
theres too many dumbasses that think they know your car better than you, plus you can see yall were laughing about running out of gas. anyway, i have a 01 miata ls that i have quite a bit of work to but nothing major, wondering what you think i should do, ill make it easy for you, have little money and not that knowledgeable about cars as i should be.
What is it that you want your car to ultimately be able to do? What have you done to your car so far in detail? Are you looking for road course worthy? drag racing? street performance? what is your budget? I'd be happy to help. I had over $15,000 into my car when it was all said and done.
That's right. The fuel cell in the trunk did not have a fuel guage. With the foam inside the cell, it was not possible to see the fuel level by looking in. So, yes, even with all that money in the car, there was still more investment needed to make it perfect, much more than just a fuel guage.
Mainly i want to make the car as fast as possible without making it unreliable. i have a AEM ram air intake, magnacor 8.5 spark plug wires(2), TEIN strut bar and springs, flyin miata sway bars, racing beat 4 to 1 header, two mufflers, roll bar, air to fuel gauge, water temp gauge, vac pressure gauge, 1 in wheels in front and 17in in back, pirelli tires, rims are tsw volcano. i like to drag race since im scared of crashing and hurting the car and or rims. as of now maybe 200 bucks a month to work
Well, you honestly should decide what you want to really do with the car. If you don't have a final goal in mind, then it makes the plan for building the car difficult. Reliability issues are difficult to address once you go into forced induction. It can be done right if you have a plan. With my car, there was a lot of improvising and creativity along the way. There hadn't been many turbocharged m2 miatas at that time. To produce anything more than 150+whp will require big bux.
why the fuck is everybody gettin mad at this guy....its his car and not urs!!! oh and dude btw....400hp from a 1.8!!! i could never do that with my 1.6, can i get a list of the mods u did?
Sure, now just so you know, don't expect much reliability. I bought the racingmazda Turbo X-Kit. Upgraded the turbo in the kit to a .63 A/R on a T3/T04E housing Stock engine. M1 alternator Electromotive Tec3 Standalone Timing was flat at I believe 17 degrees through redline ran the car slightly rich was running between 14 and 20lbs of boost 93+ octane stock transmission stock rear equal length tubular exhaust manifold 3" downpipe no cats
the power numbers weren't consistant as the tune was still anything but smooth
if you want a great setup, contact ric at racingmazda
flyinmiata also has some great setups
fyi: I went through 3 transmissions and two engines before i got rid of the car, the car only had about 35k miles after nearly 6 years of ownership, honestly, the most fun car i ever had.
Engine was unbelievably reliable with high levels of boost, as long as it had a good tune. The first time around, the engine went because of lack of fuel. With a junkyard engine, it ran great beyond the selling point!
Hey you sound like you know your stuff, I have a 1991 mr2 turbo with a JDM 3sgte motor with an aftermarket exhaust and air intake i'm pushin 253hp, now i just bought a t3/to4e turbo for it what do you think the upgrade would be i'm just runnin the stock ct26 turbo, what hp do you think i'll be at i also have a boost controller and what exactly does t3/to4e stand for let me know
Well t3 i believe is the hot side or exhaust side of the turbo. The t3 stands for a size or series of turbochargers from garrett. The to4e is also size and series labeling for the cold side/intake side. The actual internal features are what really matter, for example, if it's a 60 trim or some other size. As far as power, a t3/t04e can produce upwards of 450whp on many applications, you just need the supporting mods to make that kind of power.
Do you have an aftermarket fuel management system like a tec3, aem, or haltec. Also, how much boost can your engine handle in its current state? Do you have large enough injectors? I needed a minimum of 580cc injectors to produce just 350 or so whp. Make sure your fuel system is up to the task, fuel pump, fuel lines, fuel rail, injectors, computer etc. Also, make sure your exhaust flows properly for you car, a 3" exhaust would be most efficient. I'd love to see pictures! Good luck!
It's not a body kit, its actually just a Bomex front bumper. I needed a larger opening to fit the large front mount intercooler for my turbo set up. Everything else on the body is stock.
I ran out of gas. I had a fuel cell in the trunk that did not have a gas guage connected to it. I thought I had enough gas, but I was way off. It was quite humerous when we figured I was out of gas lol.
I did, I did some road racing, autoxing and drag racing with it, but with nearly 400whp the last few months I had it, it kept breaking transmissions and various other parts. I ended up parting it out and it is excercised regularly in the miata cup class by its new owner. (non-turbo ofcourse)
running out of gas while in boost. you better tell me that you're gas gauge was broken cause you a fucking moron if you ran a turbo car out of gas. Didnt you know that when you run out of gas while in boost you create an instant extremely lean condition inside your engine possibly damaging the internal? Just dont do that ever again you dumb fuck.
Umm, I didn't have a gas guage....I had a fuel cell mounted in the trunk, the tranmission was broken and the engine was on its way out, so we just decided to try to do a massive burnout before I took it apart again. I'm no moron, how many people you know make over 400rwhp out of a stock miata 1.8 liter engine with the stock intake manifold and all stock internal components?
and that proved what did you blow the engine?

I needed a minimum of 580cc injectors to produce just 350 or so whp. Make sure your fuel system is up to the task, fuel pump, fuel lines, fuel rail, injectors, computer etc. Also, make sure your exhaust flows properly for you car, a 3" exhaust would be most efficient. I'd love to see pictures! Good luck!

Guys, quit flaming before you get your asses kicked.
I say that was a pretty good burnout.

The transmission was already broken, the tires were already bald and as for pollution, well I didn't help with that all that much.
We had some fun before we took the car apart, a nice smokey burnout is always fun before you teardown a car, dontcha think?

Thatz A nice bodykit, what kind is it? I wanna get one for mine

It's not a body kit, its actually just a Bomex front bumper. I needed a larger opening to fit the large front mount intercooler for my turbo set up. Everything else on the body is stock.

E-brake burnouts are so lame, do some donuts.

I ran out of gas. I had a fuel cell in the trunk that did not have a gas guage connected to it. I thought I had enough gas, but I was way off. It was quite humerous when we figured I was out of gas lol.

I did, I did some road racing, autoxing and drag racing with it, but with nearly 400whp the last few months I had it, it kept breaking transmissions and various other parts. I ended up parting it out and it is excercised regularly in the miata cup class by its new owner. (non-turbo ofcourse)

running out of gas while in boost. you better tell me that you're gas gauge was broken cause you a fucking moron if you ran a turbo car out of gas. Didnt you know that when you run out of gas while in boost you create an instant extremely lean condition inside your engine possibly damaging the internal? Just dont do that ever again you dumb fuck.

Umm, I didn't have a gas guage....I had a fuel cell mounted in the trunk, the tranmission was broken and the engine was on its way out, so we just decided to try to do a massive burnout before I took it apart again. I'm no moron, how many people you know make over 400rwhp out of a stock miata 1.8 liter engine with the stock intake manifold and all stock internal components?
