Ace's never ending log- 94 Pro DX

Good plans are good

You see that sticker on the left runner on the header? I think it said something about making sure you paint the header because the stuff thats on it is not meant for heat lol. Cool to see you going turbo tho.

[Ace]

so you're going to boost? very nice! any idea what exhaust manifold you're going to use?

Not totally sure yet. I want to use some kind of ramhorn manifold though. I would use a bp26 mani but I don't want to deal with getting it machined for an external wastegate.

yeah it said something like "this protective coating may wear off" or something like that.. lol oh well, doesn't matter to me.

hell of a run, i feel lucky with my JY Engine. although i didnt swap to a different engine. i just got the same thing. and i found a gem. 110k but we suspect it was rebuilt, had a like new rear main seal and the plate thingy on the seal was siliconed on xD. its also VERY clean. i need new plugs and i need ta gap em to. mine has some crappy Autolites. i did my swap like almost 2 months ago. and im almost ready for my my 2nd oil change. only thing is, my old engine got 30mpg, my rebuild 27mpg... i think its a combination of plugs and larger tires on the front end. im running slightly taller tires on the front now then when i got it. it had like 70s? on the front and now its 75s i think. i just couldnt pass up 2 like new tires on steels, its got the same size all around xD, for $12 each U Pick It of Kansas City xD my engine cost me $99 + $20 core charge xD grabbed a drivers side auto seat belt assembly as well. mine was jank. my car runs good. its needing some tune up i think. its a little sluggish.

yea the only fancy manifolds i know like that are either REALLY expensive lol, or flanged differently, i heard the ebay t25 turbo manifold for the miata (points downwards) are pretty damn close tho.

edit: solution! GO GTRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[Ace]

Meh, GTR mani's are super hard to come by and I'd still have to tap it out for an external wastegate.. I'm trying to avoid that. I've got time to wait though so I'll just wait and once I see something I'll probably just grab it.

[jinx]

You're gonna go externally gated?

[Ace]

Idk.. I'd like to but I'm not sure of anything yet. I'm deff open to suggestions as to what I should do. I'm not the most knowledgeable on turbo stuff. Maybe I'll offer drew a little $ for that manifold thats at your house. What flange is on that again?
I'm going to start gathering the general parts first and getting everything like that then I'll decide on the specifics.

[jinx]

t25 which is still tiny.

[MD323]

you can use an external gate on the DP like john

a T28 should net you the power your looking for but would fall off around 6.5K

[Ace]

Hmm. I don't want to push the turbo to it's max either. I'd rather have something a little bigger and keep the boost down.
I need to figure out how I'm going to get an oil feed. My block isn't tapped, why.. idk.

[Mazda_Powered]

well you can run the bp26 turbo manifold and just get a t3 adapter then run the external wastegate in the downpipe like jon and ferdi did. then just make up a nice downpipe, t3 DP flanges are cheap!

[ratch]

quick question Which is the BP26? i know of the BPT which is the JDM BP, and i know the BP from a Pro, and then Scorts.

[Ace]

Bp26= bpt=gtx

[FE3-323]

Ace- i have that gtr exhaust manifold & i can get it externally gated without many issues @ all
