Dang....that is definitely the best looking LS Miata swap I've seen..looks super clean man. I remember watching Stacy from Powerblock do the 351 swap in a Miata and wondering how fun of a car that would be....I can only imagine with your LS and now the turbo...I'll have to see it sometime man. My wife and I just recently moved down here from Arkansas/Oklahoma...I need some more Horsepower friends down here

Update:
Water lines almost done...
Literally pulled out the water pump inlet/outlet nipples out of the water pump with some pliers, a chisel, and a hammer and about 20 minutes of pulling!
Drilled and tapped the water pump, installed AN fittings, and ran the hoses to the back of the car... they will split and also run to the cars heater core... because I have to have heat!!!
Anyway, the car is getting stupid close to being complete.
Just 2 more crash bars gotta be installed for protection, and then the catch can set-up will be here tomorrow, and then its bleed the cooling system, and TUNING begins!!!
Going to be SO fun.
We threw in a 6psi spring for the time being in the wastegate, and Ill just rock that for a month or 2... then turn her up to 10-15psi boost and make 700+rwhp...
6 pounds should be just a little over 500 at the rear wheels, more than enough for the winter and to keep me happy...
THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN CLEANED FOR 4 MONTHS... Please don't criticize the 4 month old dust in the engine bay, it will ALL be cleaned within a few weeks when the car is road worthy.
Before you guys criticize ground clearance... The car is having "crash bars" built underneath it and a skid plate to protect it... and the car is being raised a full inch...
It will take care of all issues and future concerns... It will be fine.
Let me know what you guys think!
