snowdrift

Hey all.
I gots me a 2000 miata. (had it for about a year now)
anyway, i've finally found someone who is gonna help me with my turbo build (finding cheap, but reliable parts) and he told me to come to this site.

some pics of the car.




I'm into drifting and whatnot, but i've been dying to get more power to my wheels. (although i understand a suspension might help me out more at this point, i have a buddy that'll help me put together a turbo kit for my car for about $500. why turn that away)

anyway. i'm gonna go the beginner route, with a garrett T25, and assorted parts to hopefully be getting between 6-8 psi to start out. that should get me up to around 170whp or so from what i understand. Bigger injectors (460cc rx7 injectors are quite a bit bigger and fit right perfect in the 1.8l miata) etc..

I have it all more thought and planned out than i have here.. just a little too tired to post it all up. haha.
well. wish me luck.

I just bought the first piece of my turbo kit today! YAY!

It's a Garrett AiResearch T03 off an '83 Saab 900 turbo. (note: that's a quarter next to it)
.42 cold/.63 hot
had about 50k on the car when it was pulled. no shaft play, moves well and everything.

ONLY $50!!!!

i'm pretty happy to say the least.

for being 26 years old it's in excellent condition, with no shaft play, and smooth bearing movement.

i was searching local classifieds for a couple months. haha. got it a few days after it went up. i'm sure it wouldn'tve lasted much longer either.
just keep looking you'll find something.
