Greddy 1.6T Kit
Well, I finally ordered it today. Plus my GC Coils. Got a good deal on the Kit from Brice @ Alamo. So the days of 98whp will soon be over!

Got any suggestions for future upgrades? Step 2 is probably gonna be 1.8l injectors, a FMIC and a boost controller.Originally Posted by Treibenschnell

Yeah, already need one, so looking for one to drop in before Turbo install. I already have a shaved 1.6 flywheel, so just need disc and PP. I am sure someone has a good suggestion on the type, right?

Had a nice long convo with the FM guys on Wednesday. Kit should be closer to $4k (with Link ECU), and mroe for Hydra, or less for no ECU. I was trying to talk them down to $1200 for the 90-93 Link, but no joy. So I went with the Greddy Kit cause it was within the $1200 limit.

No problem. I hope you don't mind a harsh ride. The springs I ordered for the Ground Controls were SM-rate. 700FR/325RR for those not familiar with the SpecMiata springs. I also have priced out some 2.5in SS exhaust piping to build the exhaust. Already got a 2.5in race cat, plus a straight-thru muffler.
I guess I'll go ahead and tell you about my "Phase 2":
S-AFC (already have one from other car)
1.8 injectors (gotta love SM parts cars)
small IC (probably something to mount in place of the plastic OEM crossover tube. temporary, but should work for the 9-11psi I hope to run)
Bipes/MSD timing controller
Elec Boost Controller (or manual if someone is gonna donate it)
Cam gears
Not sure where I am gonna go from there, but I am looking for 220-230whp, which will be plenty for daily/autoX/track.

I have a used one that I'll sell you for $75 if you are interested.
i got the centerforce dual friction. very grippy but same pedal pressure as stock, maybe even less. if i was going to do it again i would choose a centerforce dual friction pressure plate and a stock disc for longevity. i wont be making more power than it can hold. i got the greddy kit too we should all make a day of putting it in.
oh yea, dont ever, ever ever ever ever bring your car to alamo auto sports
+1. Those guys wouldn't know a socket wrench from a hole in the wall. You'd be better off letting Juffy Lube install your turbo kit.

We can help you on the clutch we have them in stock, recommend our Spec Stage 2. Of course we have the TDR intercoolers as well for your car. The Greddy is a good choice, we use the Ultimate frequently in boost upgrades. By the way I would also recommend before you start upgrading motor mounts and the power frame stiffener.
Give us a visit when you have time. Glad to help.

I really like the trackdog intercooler setup its awesome, but that pricetag is hard to choke down.is ther any kind of dfwmiata miata discount perhaps?
If it helps any, I believe the TDR turbo rigs include the intake too.I really like the trackdog intercooler setup its awesome, but that pricetag is hard to choke down.
