Shattered oil pump.
#9
i was only on 8 lbs for 2 weeks which may have done it or I heard it’s the vibration that gets it.
i def was doing 60 mph entries on some bumpy *** dirt roads for months regurlaly when it was NA. I honestly am thrownig this one up to how hard I was on the motor NA
i learned to drift on this motor and would reguralrley ride the limiter before I learned how to shift while drifting.

I was turboed at this point in the video but you get the picture. I would bomb that road daily on NA power. You can hear the passenger filming in the video yelling “holy ****” from how hard I’m hitting holes.

My stock pump is still alive and presumably well for now. Over 20k miles into +300whp street driving on this motor, and approaching 200k on the oil pump. Obviously they can fail, but I don't think it's a necessary upgrade to any boosted miata. I always felt like crappy dampers and high rpms would kill them off quicker than HP does.
Good to have the extra failure datapoint, thanks for sharing VeryNicholas. You're damn lucky you pulled it when you did. Scary to think I could be driving around with pump gears like that!
