Future Turbo Miata

Hi everyone, I've been reading the forum a lot lately after deciding I was going to buy a miata as a project car to turbocharge. I orginally wanted to go with a 94 but got a great deal on a 97 m-edition. My first goal within the next year and a half is to hit between 275-300whp, currently looking at a BEGI system with a 3071 and the very long term goal is to make this a 10 second car.![](https://www.miataturbo.net/attachments/meet-greet-40/173308-future-turbo-miata-80-20160526_173334_13dfaa0660070745547c53d3499a83667fe8e88d.jpg?dateline=1465259953)

Your first goal should be to ditch the style bar and put a legit roll bar in. 10 second car? Better beef up the trans/ block/ chassis stiffness/ rear dif/ have $10,000 laying around.

You're going to need a diff swap and a quicktime bellhousing with a Jerico/Muncie/etc.
You'll also need different hubs with larger axle spline diameters.
And you'll need a few cubic dollars.

But guys it makes me feel really cool to say "I'm building a 10-second Miata!"
A BEGi setup on your 1.8 won't get you there. The chassis is a huge holdup in getting that kind of ET as others have said.
Why not go for a trap speed goal, like, say you want to hit 115 mph or something? That's more realistic.

Fastest turbo miata
This is the only sub 10 second miata i know (though it is sub 9 even) like every body else is saying, set more realistic goals. I already been put through the ringer twice setting uninformed goals, like making a miata in Utah on a mustang dyno put out numbers like one on a dynojet in California, doesn't happen. Get informed, set the goals, then have at it
