Bell Turbo Kit?

Bell Turbo Kit?
Hello, sorry for my bad English, i am from Austria. Your Forum and the informations are very great.
I am a abolutly turbo newbie ..... and i habe bought a used Bell Turbokit for my 1.6 Miata. The Kit inkludes an airradiator (sorry, i donīt know a better word), the hole tubo kit, a begi fuelregulator and fuelpump and a MSD. The kit is made for 8 PSI.
Have anyone a similar Turbo Kit with this MSD? I will drive with the stock engine. I hope, my engine will not become damaged or "blow up".
For the Engine save, i have bought a Koyo 55 Performance Radiator by goodwinracing.com and a oil radiator.
Here are some pictures of my Kit.

8psi is perfectly safe with good tuning (lambda and timing are key).
You will be happy with BEGi, their parts are top notch.
Welcome to the board, if you don't know a certain word in english feel free to use German (a few of us know a bit and can translate it for the rest). Air Radiator = Intercooler

It pulls 6 degrees of timing, and with the intercooler, you should be ok to set your timing at 12btdc at idle. Take it for a drive and boost it to see if you get any engine knock, if there is, lower the timing setting, if not, good to go. You need to be listening for knock and watching for any violent movements of the oil pressure gage. Hope this answered your question, good luck.

Thank you for your posts. Today, i have got a parcel from usa (san diego) with my new koyo 55 water radiator. In a few days, my turbo miata will run.
I hope, my stock engine will run a few miles without any problems. With kind (octane) of fuel must a use now? Is a higher octane (linke 100 octane) better to save the engine?
Thank you for the word "intercooler". I have already known the word, here in austria we also say intercooler, but i could not say it. I haven´t thougt at his word!

Hey there!
Yes you are going to want to run higher octane to prevent detonation. (detonation is what kills your engine). Id recommend running a good 93 or so octane, and you should be ok.
Goodluck!

The highest octane here in Austria is 100 octane (100 * 0,95 = 95), this will be in USA 95 octane . What do you mean, can a take this really high octane or is this too high. By the way, this 95 octane fuel will cost per liter (i think 3,5 liter is one gallon) 1,2 Dollar. It is very expensive.

For Example: my timing is a 12 btdc an my MSD will increase the degrees up to 18 btdc?

It may not be good practice, but I hate to be 300 miles from home and pay middle of nowwhere gas prices If I am just cruiseing the central valley who cares right>

I'd run 10psi of boost with 1.8 injectors and the MSD, especially if you can use the highest octane gas you have. For 8psi you don't really need the bigger injectors. The kit you have is a very well known and reliable kit, at 8psi you shouldn't need to do anything other than run decent gas.
