turbo lq4 miata
#21
Well where to begin!
Got the engine and trans mated up
Wrapped my manifolds
Everything installed ready to go back in the bay
I fabbed up some mounts for the accusump
Then i got a hair up my *** and wanted a side exit exhaust
Can't have a clean engine going into a dirty bay, so i resprayed it
Engine installed..... but with the side exit, this kinda forced me to redo the turbo kit...... This time around i wanted the turbo to where you can actually see it, so i clocked it about 15*...... hood still closes and bumper still fits
The frame rail was going to give me issues with the exhaust..... i cut it and filled it back in with a pipe
I don't know how to do pie cuts, but they turned out damn good.
All mocked up
~finished turbo kit...... still need to add a wastegate to both banks, but that aint ****.
Teardrop fender dump came out good too, perfect fit.
Assembled!
Test fit a set of drag slicks i ordered....... looks good!
.....AAAAAnd thats about it. Hope you enjoy the build.
