Nice looking car. What wheels are those?

[ben91]

Mazda brought 3000 of these to the US 10-11 years ago, or average 60 per state. If memory serves, 5 have shown up on our little board. For comparison, the same number of Mahogany Micas Special Editions were imported in 00, but there are none represented on this board I can recall. I do know one guy who lives in the city who own one. 3000 01 SEs were also brought in, and I have seen one or two, but don't know of any personally.

02 got a bit more complicated. There were ~10 "special" cars between the 2 different SEs and the SO cars. I believe they total at 3000 for all combined.

03 had a SE and the Shinsen. Total run on them was 3000 combined.
03 was the last of the SE NB.

[scandmx5]

uugh where was the board/thread Ben posted a while back of the different packages and what you have for each year? i can't find it

[DecoyOctopus]

3000 01 SEs were also brought in, and I have seen one or two, but don't know of any personally.

id cut my arm off for a mint condition 01 brg. i have this one lady in my phone who owns one. her name is tammy. zdddamn i left my number on her car one day in hopes of offering her money, drugs, and sexual favors, as well as a set of stock 16" wheels with good tires, so she would trade me her polished 16" wheels. she said nah.


but yea you got some big ol tires on the rear of that 10th

They gave me the wrong size :dunno: so i got my money back

[RotorNutFD3S]

:lol: I don't believe wonton or scandmx5 were talking about your car, they were talking about the ebay car.

[oneslammed10ae]

oooo owell either way

[wonton]

:lol: I don't believe wonton or scandmx5 were talking about your car, they were talking about the ebay car.

yeh the ebay car!

but from the pics i have seen of your car oneslammed10ae makes me want a NB! your car looks very good man!

[oneslammed10ae]

BTW i love ur car RotorNutFD3S (http://www.mx5atlanta.com/forums/member.php?u=104) its sick i wana go turbo my self

[RotorNutFD3S]

Thanks! Once you get a turbo, there's no turning back...

[oneslammed10ae]

o so now i look like an idiot o well

[oneslammed10ae]

yha ive driven a colbalt ss turbo for about two weeks and i got in my car and was like awwwwwwwwwwwww i want turbo

[wonton]

Thanks! Once you get a turbo, there's so many headaches.....but there is no turning back...


fixed haha! :p


even though its a PITA i still love boost! :D

[oneslammed10ae]

HAHA yha but low boost and mild built motor shouldent have to many probs though

[RotorNutFD3S]

Sometimes they don't, sometimes they do. Just depends on the quality of equipment used, how well it's put together to start with, and how well it's tuned.

[oneslammed10ae]

True true i hope then that i wont have to many problems

[wonton]

its nothing in the motors! its small stupid stuff..........like install, stuff not working right after wiring in something, coolant leaks, small oil leaks, emissions....ect ect! just small stuff! other than that its awesome!

[wonton]

oh and forgetting to hook up a vacuum line and the car starts idling like **** and your heart sinks and you start getting scared that something huge is wrong!

remember that one rip?

[oneslammed10ae]

yha the "stupid little stuff" but is my motor good for about 10 to 12 pounds stock????

[wonton]

yeh...if im not mistaken rotornut was running 12psi daily and 15 for fun on stock internals......ill be upping mine to 12psi when i get a manual boost controller!

right now im running 7psi wastegated.....if 7 is fun now i can wait for 12!

[oneslammed10ae]

nice thats gona be quick and should i do the mazda speed kit or go with a custom one off kit

[RotorNutFD3S]

oh and forgetting to hook up a vacuum line and the car starts idling like **** and your heart sinks and you start getting scared that something huge is wrong!

remember that one rip?

Good grief, that sucked!

I was running 15psi on the stock motor until it popped for whatever reason. Of course, that's not to say I was using all 15psi everywhere I went, only full throttle runs.

[wonton]

dont mess with the mazda speed kit......invest in a FM or BEGi kit!

from what i hear the turbos are crap!

plus by the time you spend all the money to do the factory setup you could be making more power with another kit!

[oneslammed10ae]

ok thanx for the advice see im only seventeen and im trying to get out there so im getting all the advice i can and thought id get a good car for mods so i bought the car after saving the money cause everything for them was kinda cheap so but how much do those kits cost

[ben91]

The MSM kit is fine for the money. It ain't the greatest, but you can add 40 or so whp for less than a G, and that's pretty respectable.

[wonton]

http://www.bellengineering.net/

http://www.flyinmiata.com/

the two site will tell you everything you need to know as far a pricing! o good setup for starters is about $3000 dont quote me on that though!

[wonton]

from what i have researched there is a ****load of headache involved with putting one on a none MSM car!

cause this was the route i was wanting to take when i first got my car!

[ben91]

Not really, no more so than any other kit.

[wonton]

i can see it being done easy with a stand alone ecu....but if your planning on using the MSM ecu that where the problems come in! that part of what i was reading about as far as the setup goes!

[oneslammed10ae]

ok thanx bigtime guys this should help im asking for money for christmas and i should be able with my next three pay checks and that money i may be boosted very soon

[ben91]

Would not use MSM electronics--too much work and they suck.

[oneslammed10ae]

ok ill take that in to account but what should i use ?? should i just go stand alone fuel system or piggy back

[wonton]

thats what i was getting at as far a the headache stuff! after i sat around and though about it.......if i went with the factory MSM set up i would eventually pull all that **** off and get better stuff.....so to save time and money i just went strait for better aftermarket parts!

[oneslammed10ae]

ok so how much did it cost u and did u do complete standalone

[wonton]

ok ill take that in to account but what should i use ?? should i just go stand alone fuel system or piggy back

thats entirely up to you and your goals......if im not mistaken and sombody correct me if im wrong but you can only go so far with a piggy back, and you can pretty much do anything with a stand alone!

piggy back is more budget minded and standalone is more exspensive!

[oneslammed10ae]

im budget minded trust me so i think ill do piggy back thanx for the info man

[wonton]

ok so how much did it cost u and did u do complete standalone

i didnt buy i kit! i sat around and kept an eye out for deals on parts and peiced my own kit together! and yep im running a full stand alone.

MSPNP engine management- 725
AEM UEGO- 200
turbo-550
manifold- 300
downpipe- 300 i think
intercooler and pipeing- 150
BOV- 50
oil and coolante lines kit- 200
rc 550 injectors and dual feed fuel rail- 200
walbro fuel pump- 70 i think

thats pretty much what im running now

[oneslammed10ae]

ok is that cheaper cause thats what i was gona do is look around for parts here and there for cheap and my buddie can weld so i was thinking why not pick up a small cheap turbo and getting him to weld it on to a ebay manifold what do u think about that kinda thing

[Doppelgänger]

Here, there was a guy on miataturbo that did a while MSM turbo setup on a 10AE using basic fuel management and reported that the car drove much better than a MSM, so if you've driven a MSM, don't use that mentality that using that turbo will yield the same results in power delivery.

Here is the guy's thread.

http://www.miataturbo.net/forum/t31981/

Also, look through more of his threads for information. IIRC he was running a smooth 10psi on it and was happy....and for cheap.

Oh and go read through NickT93's build thread as he is dong something very similar and on a budget.

no problem...hope you find this place helpful :)

please dont weld the turbo to the mani! please please please!

[oneslammed10ae]

ok i wont weld it but can i ask why?? is it just gona blow imediatly

[oneslammed10ae]

no problem...hope you find this place helpful :)


it already has been thank u

[wonton]

ok i wont weld it but can i ask why?? is it just gona blow imediatly

think about it! say in the event your turbo does go bad, you will have to get rid of the turbo......so you will want to be able to remove it easy to replace. if its welded then you have to worry about cutting it off the mani if you want to salvage it!

studs and nuts FTW! < im gonna get some **** for that!:facepalm:

[oneslammed10ae]

ok so just drill my own holes and put and weld in studs that i can mount the turbo to i got u

[wonton]

if you buy pre made parts you wont have to worry about all that! :D

[oneslammed10ae]

true true but isnt one off stuff all the rage right now HAHA jkjk but yha im gona shop around for all my parts thanx so much wanton

[wonton]

no prob!

if you keep an eye out on parts....people will upgrade alot of there stuff. like say go from a log manifold to a tubular! and you can get good deals that way.....just be patient and watch for parts!

[oneslammed10ae]

yha i just gota keep up the money for this stuff some how

[RotorNutFD3S]

The other thing to think in regards to standalone vs. piggyback is passing emissions on a 1996+ car. Piggyback will let your stock ECU throw OBDII codes if there's a problem, standalone won't, therefore emissions is easier to pass. But a piggyback will limit your ability to tune and produce more power as mentioned. The only standalones I believe that are available for the 96-05 Miatas are the Hydra and the Adaptronic.

Agreed, do not weld the turbo the manifold. Either look into a v-band setup if you're willing to spend the coin (or will be heavily tracking the car) or just stick with the traditional stud/nut method of attaching the two, which is perfectly fine for the street.

[oneslammed10ae]

Thanx for all the help guys it's awsome I'm starting to look for cheap parts and looking at things diferently it's been great
