I remembered after we talked that I had to grind down the throttle body's lip to get it to fit but an angle grinder will make quick work of aluminum

You have a Miata, and have kept me ignorant of it's build? BAN

ha his cutout is pretty sweet, im copying the idea, hah thanks

who, me or Yamaha6611? If me, I've had a turbo miata for like a year.

I plan on trying this setup out soon.... 70mm cutout, electric, off a 04+ gm 3800 motor.




Should be plenty heat tolerant... its an all steel design. It is made of alum though.. so I dont know what sort of thermal properties that would give me issues with... I plan on making the mounting holes on the steel flange very large to allow for expansion.

all steel design but it's made of aluminum?

Keep that in mind. Dont take too much material off at once. It's easier to take away than it is to add.

Wow, i made 2 posts in your thread without catching on fire.

Duh, uh I meant to say that the motor/electric bits are all steel, (as in no plastic gears or whatever) and the body of made out of a cast aluminum white metal... The melting point should be a bit higher than pure aluminum, and have heating properties similar to aluminum (aka it basically will go from fine to a bubbly mess in a small temperature difference).

Yea I am a dumbass... here is some ****...

Wank.a.lot

that is not ****
