Somthing diffrent
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi Guys, Alittle of normal topic. Im thinking of turboing my MX5 its pritty common but the kits are stupied money to buy and i am poor. so planning on using a t3. i need to build a manifold and down pipe and all the pipes to connect to the inlet of the car i should put an intercooler in and theres tons of space. Just thought i would see if people with turbo experance have any sage words for me.

Thanks
Alex.

I would think the best place to start would be to have a look round the mx5 forums and see what other people have done, what boost you can run and what problems are common.

Sounds like a fun project, should be pretty easy too as long as the fueling system can cope or be remapped easily

Get some pics up when you start be nice to see.

also i'd look into similar sized/powered engines for a turbo.

maybe something like a 1.8T engine would provide a good turbo?

much better than an ancient T3

buy corky bells book on turbocharging, iirc there is a step by step installationguide for the 'miata' or mx5 to me and you.

"Turbo's make torque, and torque makes fun"

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

i used to have one, always wanted to turbo it .. try this.
