All of the proper wiring should be there. What TPS are you using now?

I believe the current build thread title is "blonde young beefcake with skimpy shorts named rocky" :giggle:

Jeff, I'm nervous about your use of ABS that close to the turbo. There's a radiation path past the CHRA to the inlet box. I hope the aluminum tape is enough, but keep an eye on it. OTOH, if the ABS gets soft, then you may not have to worry about intake movement so much. LOL.

Gracias.
I also picked up a 99 throttle body off a guy in Arizona for dirt cheap, so I should get that in the next week. Now I need to look up what wiring changes are necessary to make it work. |
Ooooooooh dem is fab?

Hence the major website changes and forum sponsorship in the recent timeline ;). |

I (Bryan) was working part time with Fab9 to get the company started last year. They weren't the most motivated gentlemen so I left my job and made a major investment to take it over full time at the end of last year. So yes as of about 5 months ago, Dem is officially Fab :party:

^ lol
props |
AEM faces are in the mail today. :) I'm really looking forward to seeing them installed. I need to buy some of my own.
I don't check this thread for a few days, 3 pages go past. lol |

In that case.. I'll buy one of your FMIC when you update your build thread with 400whp dyno results.
:party: I honestly don't even have time to think about the car :sad2: I spend 4-5 hours a day building COP wiring harnesses/welding intercoolers and the rest shipping/responding to emails. Meanwhile trying to work on what's next for us and building our website. At some point when I feel like it will not effect my ability to deliver good customer service, I'll dust off the NB and move forward. |

Drama Llama detects the beginning of drama! This thread is a place of happy-happy-joy-joy and feel goods! ;)
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1395439987 --- Finished up the air box. Trimmed an extra 1/4" off the hole and then added a rubber grommet for abrasion as per y'all's suggestion. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1395439987 trimmed an 1" off the elbow and it gave me the perfect fit. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1395439987 Cut off the extra aluminum tape off the back and then used an extra firewall seal and cut it down the middle for the top. Turned out great! https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1395439987 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1395439987 Next project is to remake this bracket to pull the coolant drain/feed lines to the turbo down lower. Currently the blue silicone lines are pretty taught, so I'd like to lessen the tension up a bit. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1395439987 |
Hmm, I think you may have to cut a bigger hole in that air box, just to be on the safe side. The rubber rim pretty much canceled out the 1/4".
|
I just love everything about this build and it's trillion pages.
+ the good news about FAB + the fact that you're a baker and I love donuts. Basicly +1 for everything in this thread and everyone in it. Sick ass miata. |
Seems to me that ABS plastic, etc won't be a problem for rubbing. Just my 2 cents.
|
Plus it has a certain degree of flexibility that metal doesn't. We'll see how it works out. You guys know me, if it doesn't work, then I have no problem doing it a different way.

The intake shield looks great.
What was the thickness of the ABS sheet and where did you get the rubber trim used on the top? I'm in the process of making one as well using ABS but I think I mine is too thick - went with .125" thick sheet and seems too bulky at first glance. Thanks. |

Honestly, thicker would be better for this, just harder to make using the heat bending method. ---- Ok I don't know why this coolant line setup is bothering me so bad. It just seems so unnecessarily cluttered. There has GOT to be a cleaner/more refined way to do it right??? I was going to just make the bracket longer so that they sat lower, but this causes the braided lines to rub on the lower radiator hose. The only sturdy, some what logical place to put it is right in front of the air box I just made. Directly left of the headlight motor on the little shelf. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1395457617 Or is there a better solution that I can't come up with because I've been staring at it for too long. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1395457617 |
