looks like its going pretty good..i was thinking about doing a similar build on 1 of my spare d15's ...keep us updated

 

looks good....good luck with the build

 

lot of work for not alot of perofrmance, good luck on the experience aspect.

 

I'll agree with that statement

really what I'm looking forward to on this is the torque, it'll be interesting to see if it's as dramatic as I'm led to believe it is.

 

I think this has more potential than you realize.
Here's a 1.8 Miata making some serious torque with an m62.

A lot of work- yes, but I'd take 300ftlbs at 3500rpm any day.

You may need a steering stabilizer for the torque steer!

i have a friend of mine that wants to turbo his neon. what kind of fuel managment can he use, and where can he get a manifold for it? that is the only thing holding him back.

 

As far as management goes, last time around I used a rising rate regulator and bigger injectors/fuel pump. That was dumb :1

definitely tell him to check into using megasquirt management. lots more control and will drive nice. The rising rate regulator works for lazy people who want a car that never runs quite right.

as far as a manifold goes, there are a few options- mostly log style like I had. Tell him to check out www.neons.org/forums they've got a ton of good info there, and usually there's always a couple of turbo manifolds for sale in the classified section.

EDIT: If he at any time starts saying something about using an S-AFC, slap him upside the head with a quickness.
