Yeah I’m excited for the project. I’ll make sure to post updates as they come. Here’s a pic from Japanese Day with my buddies 300HP Miata. I lowered the car again since this pic, I was thinking of taking some more this weekend.
I took the car for some midnight tunnel runs here in Boston a few weeks ago with some friends so I figured I would throw up some pics. We tried to take some movies in the tunnels but I’m waiting on the footage.
I got a new carbon lip and carbon dash bezel. Also, this past weekend I took the whole turbo setup off to make room for the next project :). Unfortunately this means that it’s off the road again until next year. Got a few small projects in mind besides the turbo, hoping to lower the car a lot more and possibly get some wheels spacers to flush out the Sprints a bit. I also plan on cleaning up the engine bay some more.
just went through your entire thread, awesome build man
inspiration to turbo my ls. loving the build man. Imo I think the FMIC looks kind of funny lol.
Looks great Jon. I spy Andy’s miata lol. What’s the plans for your turbo?

No more turbo? Whats next???
Aliright Jon, thats enough suspense for the time being. details on the new set up! I cant belive your already changing it up, you must grow bored of things easily

Thanks All! I appreciate the supportive words.
all-DA-way215 curious what you think looks funny. Always open to feedback. If you are talking about the boxy intercooler I actually prefer the old skool look.
I posted up the plans in an earlier post but I know sometimes things get lost in these threads I’m switching up to a gt2860rs and swapping the manifold and dp to a newer preference (will reveal once I acquire). I actually had the car turbo’d with the current setup for quite a few years (before I built the motor). I originally reused the setup to test the motor on the dyno before making any changes. The good news is that it definitely passed the test and the motor should be good for around 17psi of boost as well. However, I really need to rebuild the t25 at this point, so instead of doing that I am going to take the opportunity to change it up this winter. Going to get the manifold that I really want and have the DP done up custom as well so that I can slam the car. I’ll keep the updates coming, there are still a lot of details that I want to attack with this build. :rockon:
I totally had to do some ghetto editing for my plate… but here’s the footage from the dyno with the T25. Tell me what you guys think. The setup is up on the for sale thread if anyone is interested.
Got a new goodie! Honda JDM spec Type-R series shift knob!
Started removing power steering :hmm:
Started on my Gauge upgrade. installed the carbon overlay, ordering some LEDs to replace the interior bulbs.
The guage overlay looks good, loving this build. Can’t wait to see more updates.
Oh man i just watched ur vid and i must say nice word sounds powerful and amazing
Hey man love the thread! I was wondering if your old turbo setup is still for sale?
just email you;)
Thanks! more to come
Thank you! It is pending partial payment from the buyer, I’ll let you know if it falls through!
Hey man I got your email. It’s been a crazy week but I will respond!
Thanks! The motor is strong and the T25 was fun…Can’t wait for the new setup though!
Props, thats a really good looking car!
