Flying Miata Turbo project

Post by ccsfd » Wed Nov 30, 2011 10:44 pm

Decided to buy the FMII Kit, finally landed after a bit of waiting.
Looks like a pretty good kit, will slowly build up during the holidays.
Ordered a Megasquirt from Reverent (miataturbo.net group buy)
still waiting for that, got S5 rx7 550cc injectors (anyone here cleans/flowtest injectors for box make that a can of beer Im broke now;) Will post pics soon. anyone have an engine hoist i can borrow for a day,
want to pull the engine out do the clutch at the same time.

Hi ccfsd

If you are in Auckland and ever need a hand let me know. I am keen to see how you get on and hopefully pick up some clues myself, especially with the megasquirt.....

Do you mind telling me exactly which kit you got and how much in total it cost you please?
How long from order to arrival?
I am thinking of going down this route and am looking at the FM kit without electronics.
Thanks

For injector cleaning I use Petroject in Albany. The last batch I had done they flow tested them first and told me they didn't need cleaning.

The exhaust ports are the same, it is the inlet side that is different.

After over a year of laziness finally managed to pull the engine out fitted new HD clutch and the turbo kit. Just some bits left to finish off...plastic trimming to clear I/C pipes, refit bumper, wire air temp sensor, fit Megasquirt, buy and fit BOV, 3" exhaust from the FM front pipe-back. Hope its not goin to be another year.

Thanks very much Gary (WideOpenThrottle) for letting me use your engine hoist mate, very much appreciated will be returning it soon.

I'm in love with that color!

Btw, 2.5" exhaust should be plenty I think a 3" would be to big?
