Turbo question?
Ok..
Heres the deal. I have a 95 Miata sitting in the garage. I also, like most people on this site, have a set of sleeping twins sitting on my workbench. I, all of the sudden, got this great idea to slap them in my miata. Why you ask, because theres no better price than free. So here are my questions. Where do I find a manifold for my miata that will hold these twins? What type of a flange do the stock turbos mate to? I know what they look like so dont flame me, but is it a T4 flange, T3 flange, or some japanese oddity for which I will never find a suitable manifold. Are they to large for the 1.8 in my Miata. Another words, will the turbos kick in before 6 grand. Is it possible to control them seq. without all of the seloniods or would I have to convert them to run as a single.
As far as the set up goes, It wont be running high boost, most likely no more than 10 lbs.
Cheapest BOV I can find on ebay.
Profec B - Boost Controller
Apexi SAFC - Fuel
Fake sparco intercoller off ebay - looks fine to me.
Aftermaket fuel pump (in line) - not sure which brand yet
Rising rate FPR.
Exaust Tubing for intercooler piping. (Ya, im cheap)
Oh, and yes, I know how to instal a turbo kit so please
dont tell me im forgetting things like the oil return line or
coolant hoses. I dont need help with the minor stuff,
just the biggies.
Anything im missing??
ps.
I would have posted this on the miata forum except no one overthere knows their *** from their elbow when it comes to our fd twins.
All help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

You may have got the twins for free, but the amount of money and time you'll need to spend to get them to work on your Miata will make a 20B/LS1 conversion look like chump change.

How do you figure? If I can find a manifold than im home free. Even if I cant control them in seq. mode (which I think is possible) they can be converted to single in which case it could be controlled simply using the wastegate.
Other than that, what would cost me more than a normal turbo setup on a miata?
Im not asking wether or not I should do it, or if its even possible. I already know those answers.
