Greddy 1.6T Kit

[Tim the Teacher]

is ther any kind of dfwmiata miata discount perhaps?

Open the fridge in the garage and most of the time you can find a beer

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)

I've got the stock MS intercooler and piping that I would be willing to part with. PM if you are inerested

[ray_sir_6]

do you have the intercooler already? i have a small one i could sell?

Size and price? PM me.

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.

I have the CF DF on my other car, and I LOVED it. Wasn't sure if it was the best option for the Miata though, so I had to ask for someone with previous experience.

I have a used one that I'll sell you for $75 if you are interested.

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.

I am gonna try to do all the work, if possible. That or get Chris to help me at Bob's place. He works on SpecMiatas ALL DAY, so I am sure he can slap on a turbo kit if needed. As far as Alamo's work, I have spent about $16k-18k there on parts and labor, and NEVER had any issues. That's not including the Turbo Kit or GC Coilovers either, that's just on my other car.

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.

Thanks. I have looked over your online site 100s of times, and then at my wallet, back at your site, cried, and then cried some more. You guys have some AWESOME stuff, ESPECIALLY the FMIC setups! I am looking at those stiffeners for the near future, but found some solid aluminum motor mounts I will get when I have the money ($250/pr). I am interested in the Diff mnts as well. As for the clutch, as much as I HATE it, I am probably gonna end up getting some "Exedy Stg 3" on eBay for $149. The price is right, and that's what this is right now, a SMALL budget build.

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?

Ditto.

I put my greddy turbo in. awesome. totally worth the money. if you need help putting it in let me know

[MadMonkey]

I'll chime in... I decided to keep the Miata and now I'm planning to pick up the Greddy turbo when I have the money in a couple of months. I'm tired of getting smoked at red lights. By New Beetles.

So it's a good kit huh? Maybe I can slip AJ a couple of bucks to install it for me

[Mingle]

the kit fits a little weird, but a good kit. im thinking now i need an intercooler.
ill be happy to help you install it if you want.

[IPRESS]

I have a brand new blow off valve if you want one. I will let it go cheap.

Just brought it home. Gonna do some ceramic coating on the manifold and maybe the housing before I install it (maybe).

Cool. I have alot of stuff I am gonna be needing for the next stage.

[Mingle]

get some header wrap.

Elec Boost Controller (or manual if someone is gonna donate it )

Looky what I found!





Think that'll work for controlling ye olde boost? I used it in my other car before the Haltech went in, fwiw...

[Mingle]

I found the company that makes the FM Link plugin computer. i can order it and have it shipped from Australia for 500 dollars less than Flyin miata sells it for. I really like Flyin miatas stuff but damn they are overpriced.

[ray_sir_6]

I got a good source on a used Link w/ a FMIC (off a FMII Kit). Won't know till Jan though. If not, I got a buddy who will give me a good price on a Haltech for it. I am still procrastinating on the install, not sure when it will go in.

[ray_sir_6]

Well, after much putting off and such, I finally took the time to have a buddy of mine install the kit for me. I did the Fuel Regulator, he did the rest. It is a pig below 3k, and then only hits full boost and pulls strong at 4k. I set the timing at 6BTDC, but might move it back to 8 or 10 when I can get a full tank of 93octane, instead of a 50/50 with 87 and 93.

[driftdevil]

you should hit titus up he has a timing controller for sale

[ray_sir_6]

Dyno Results:

111whp/110tq

I was surprised at how low it was, but it still pulls hard.

Not that I know anything about FI, but setting the timing at 6 degrees seems a bit low for only 5psi.

[POS Racing]

So ya picked up 13whp and 22tq with the turbo, is it just me or does that seem rather low???

Whaaaaaat? Every account of the stock Greddy kit I've heard places hp at around 135-145... that's weird..

[Sharpie]

Need a timing bump maybe? Those #'s do seem low.

[Adam Payrot]

Yeah, they are really low, something is not right...
