Dont mind the wire for the egt gauge.. its not hooked up yet.

Im only boosting to 10 pounds right now since I dont have the fpr or fuel pump installed and dont have the egt probe put in. I know I could go to 15 on the present setup but Id rather not risk it.

Comments? Good? bad?

Looking phat. I love the look of that intake and manifold. I'm turbo jealous.

Take all the AC crap out. I cannot see you using it much in Canada anyway. It will really neaten the engine bay.
You can replace it with 2x100 AC if you want to.

O_O

I don't think I've ever seen an intake manifold like that. And that turbo manifold is pretty incredible too. Everything looks awsome.

:Jealous: x 10

For the turbo manifold, did you cut it at the exhaust flange and flip the runners upside down and reweld it to the flange? I am just wondering because I am thinking of doing that for my motor but I didn't find anything on how to flip the miata mani. Also, where did you order that one from? Thanks. Look good, by the way

Thanks guys!
For the msd setup.. Im using it as the igniter. So the signal from the haltech goes right to the msd as opposed to a stock igniter first. Im also using the tach output on the msd to run the tach in the car, works fine until it hits 5500.. then the tach just goes to zero so Im going to have to use the tacho output option in the haltech I think.

As for the manifold, Just flipped it over and modified the flange with some new holes and such. If you were to cut the flange completely off and rotate it that way it would make it extremely weak and also.. once those pipes are cut you can imagine theyll just kind of go BOINNGGGG and go in all different directions making it impossible to reweld.

So the exhaust outlets matched up when you flipped it over and all you had to do was drill new bolt holes? Where did you get the manifold from? Was it a place from here in Canada or did you get it from the States?

Twas ebay I believe. Might have been the states.

gorgeous car franko, i am insanely jealous.

you were able to keep your A/C with the BPT? i didn't know it would still fit, that's good to know for us down here in florida.

2x100 AC is two windows down at 100 mph (or kph depending on where you live)

Old school terminology (or maybe just a redneck thing since there are so many poor asses down here

)

Still one of the phatest streetable MXs IMO.
