thanks

 

I'm going to put in the factory first to get it started and then later a power fc.

I only had to raise it were the fork from the clutch sticks out since im using a gslse transs

 

When you had your 12a in, did you have a header made or were you able to use a racing beat header?

 

I had to make one the pacesetter exhaust wasn't even close

 

started taking the engine out to port it rebuild it im ordering the super seals and water jacket seals this week deciding on whether or not to only half bridge the engine or full bridge it

 

you may as well full bridge it. A half bridge is all of the drawbacks of doing a full bridge, without having the complete power of the full bridge. You've already done a PP engine, so the BP is a logical step, though i'm confused as to why you havent swapped out to a T2 tranny yet?

 

Yea i was thinking of doing the full bridge today and eventually thats what im going to do I already have an s5 turbo II transs I only have to take the engine out but im waiting til i finish installing the bridge engine on the rx2 im building for my dad to have some space to work on it

 

so got some progress done on the miata

 

That turbo will clear the Miata frame?

 

yea i had the engine in the car already to try it out i only had to bend the lip on the frame it fits perfect in there the only thing is that i have to switch all the fuel lines and wiring to the other side because the down pipe is going to be too close

 

started porting decided half bridge

 

phone camara sucks but ill get better one tomorrow

 

This project looks good man good luck on the build for your Pops

 

Thanks the rx2 is running already now im back working on the miata already got the gasket kit, solid corners and fd springs and the super seals should be in next week cant wait to put it all in the car

 

those r pretty small bridge ports....r they just to get the nice lopeing sound???

 

yea mostly the sound and you dont want to go full bridge on a turbo besides its would be way too much for a little miata im still going to run 20 psi big injectors and a borg warner turbo

 

i sold the turbo in the pic and got a bigger one lol borg warners spool faster and its double ball bearing

 

been a while but the engine is already built in my garage waiting for a day off to put it in haven't gotten a change since my gay mustang decided to break the differential so Ive been rebuilding that but i think Tuesday is the day ill put it in cant wait its been way too long

 

pics of the engine

 

engine is in!




girl friend helped me put it in







transs is perfect







now for wiring

 

Awesome project, coming along nicely. How much power are you looking for?

 

thats what i want to do.
