Since I hadn't had experience on building a car or anything like the car just sat while I built motivation to do something with it.
So one day a beat up Miata came along at a salvage auction with another 1.6
which was motivation enough to start dicking around with it

I didn't have an engine crane at the time so we just used what we had, lol.

Since I had it I figured might as well do a few things.
So I took the power steering pump and brackets off.
Took the clutch off to take a look at it
![](https://www.miataturbo.net/attachments/build-threads-57/93406-1990-eunos-build-4ac696ad-e4e2-394c.jpg?dateline=1383292354)
Which didn't look that great.

So I replaced that clutch with a
-fidanza lightweight flywheel
-exedy disc
-center force pressure plate

After that i threw on the td04 turbo/etd shorty manifold that came with the car.

Now it was time to throw on the turbo and the IC piping that was custom made by some exhaust shop from the previous owner, very inefficient

Tied up little odds and ends's added cold wrap on the coldside and mounted Tanabe strut tower brace.

Picked up a perrin foam filter but needed and adapter plate to fit on the MAF so quickly made one with 3inch exhaust pipe hah.

Checked the plugs and they were disgusting so I changed those too and added MSD 8.5 high conductance wires

also dyno'd it at some point.
made 227.23/179 @11psi ish (no tune) (yes i was an idiot)
since then i've pulled the motor and did a few seals then popped it back in.
but i will update a bit later.
I'm missing a lot of stuff but this is just so I can keep track.
This is 1.6 that i had intentions on autox'ing but im not sure about its future anymore

and for fenders i went with Autokonexion 40mm fenders from the GT kit and the new 30mm ones they just made.. will post pics soon.
But for management all it had was the Vortech FMU, you can hear it ping like a bastard on the dyno but hopefully i didnt do too much damage.
Ended clocking the turbo and making the IC piping a little more efficient as well.

Fuel pump should be great. I am a big fan of too much pump rather than not enough. The aeromotive FPR is an awesome unit and should control your pressure just fine. Great progress and I cant wait to see how this thing turns out.

Finished up the exhaust, not that pretty but whatever. Crush bent 3in that came with the car

Basically have the motor in and running and all that.
Ended up getting a wobbly crank, and found out it was from a used cog I had got from when I accidentally dropped mine and it had chipped lol...bah

Few new things:
Bought a 96+ Miata diff via ebay for a good price and driveshaft/axles from some other dude.
![](https://www.miataturbo.net/attachments/build-threads-57/119202-1990-eunos-build-7aduhuvy.jpg?dateline=1406558256)
Seeing as they had just cut the stub shafts off and he wasn't really sure whether it had a Torsen or not I wasn't too thrilled about grabbing it but for the price (about the same price as a typical 94+ open diff) I went for it anyways,
With some help got the stub shafts out and cracked it open
![](https://www.miataturbo.net/attachments/build-threads-57/119203-1990-eunos-build-y5a3e2uz.jpg?dateline=1406558256)
Thankfully it contained a Torsen in hopefully good condition.
Couldn't break the 25 year old axle nuts free that night but I'll take another crack at it this week and throw it together.

Seeing as they had just cut the stub shafts off and he wasn't really sure whether it had a Torsen or not I wasn't too thrilled about grabbing it but for the price (about the same price as a typical 94+ open diff) I went for it anyways,
With some help got the stub shafts out and cracked it open

Thankfully it contained a Torsen in hopefully good condition.
Couldn't break the 25 year old axle nuts free that night but I'll take another crack at it this week and throw it together.
