Ricer redneck build '96 miata

Worst of all was pulling the motor 4 times to redo the oil pump, only to find out a galley plug of all things was leaking. Towed it to a shop and spent hundreds to figure that mess out. You WILL suffer with this project. Everyone does, just in different ways. Unless you are a careful builder like Downmented who has 10 other cars to use while he painstakingly makes his Miata the best on the internet.

I have been studying these forums for months on months. And I have read your thread. From my little experience I have seen many 1.8 turbos without ms and pretty much all 1.6s run it. So dont think im trying to say their is a "difference". I know the ignition is weak and the timing loves to jump just retiming mine to 12 degrees last night to kill that idle drip I was having. Previous running 8 Degrees and super rich. And if you want to match a face just see my facebook page . But im down for a meet at anytime and will be uploading pictures of my turd bucket asap. Thank you Boosted Redneck

To the OP. You need to research a ton more. Expect to spend $3000-$4000 to build a reliable DD turbo miata. There are costs you can't get around unless you have a ton of knowledge and fabrication skills. You lack both of those things. I may be up in the Roanoke area in October, might possibly bring a turbo car.
