Well, technically it's never done and ever evolving. But yeah, the original NA F20C swap was done and running for about a year. The SC/Turbo addons are not quite done yet, I'm taking the custom P Fab log manifold to be ceramic coated tomorrow.

I'll post up some pics soon!

 

Updates already!!!

When do we get to start working the car again? My hand healed from all those times you hit it with a hammer and then there was the time it got caught between the block and the bell housing. None the less I need to bleed more.

 

Whats going on with the Miata?

 

dude, amazing! props to you guys! I just read/skimmed and looked at all the pics. Crazy amounts of work. Probably the best write up ive ever seen. Normally write ups like this start out good then start to dwindle off towards the end, but this was great! good job.

 

So much detail in this build. I read this from start to finish tonight. Congrats on everything so far and hope you have resolved all your turbo issues. I would love to get some closure on that part of the story. I have learned so much from this build, thanks for sharing!

 

Not sure how his build is going but I recently sold him a set of springs and retainers for it.

 

Indeed I'm going to try to put them in this week. Thanks!

 

Well, finally I've had time to tinker with the car so here we go:

We replaced the 37mm Koyo with a 57mm Godspeed radiator and fabbed up a shroud for the two fans:



Relocated oil filter and oil pressure/temp sensors:



This is the new oil filter adapter, you can also see the turbo's oil feed/return and water feed/return lines:



The hole we cut out of the engine bay to run the downpipe for the new top mount PFab log manifold (the downpipe has not been completed yet):



Here's the GT2860RS mounted with all of its lines mocked up:



Another shot:



Front view:




We actually got a lot done tonight, including replacing the 2 gauge battery cable (from the back of the car where the battery is) with a 0/2 gauge cable. We were having problems with the car starting while hot (pulling more amperage), this should solve that.

 

Sweet, I too browsed all the other pages/pics last night. Good work!

 

Finally a update!! When the next race?
