So that's my ride. I've got the 15G running ~17psi or so. Motor is internally stock for now. I have a set of custom cams to put in it, but I may not as my next motor is currently being built (by myself). The current motor is 1.6L and makes somewhere just north of 300 chp. Car has about 69K miles on it now, and has been boosted for over 10k. It's still happy and healthy. The new motor will be 1.9L and my goal will be in the area of 450 crank hp.

Anyway, some of you gusy already know me from other sites. Others here know me by my tail lights. :D

Maybe see some of you guys around at the auto-x and other driving events this summer.

/zoomzoomLOL LS1? I have a friend doing that conversion in his FD right now. A few cars ago, I had a 94 myself, montego with the touring package. Nice car--but I liked the miata I had before the FD better. So I sold it and got another miata.

We rebuild rotaries where I work, some of the best in the world, for both street and race cars.

:gay: Define "real dyno". The dynapack is an awesome machine. And it is indeed a load bearing tuning dyno. They are pretty badass, and cost like double a typical Mustang and 3-4 times a typical dynojet. Any Subie fan would recognize that dyno as the one from SoG where Scott Siegel (Siegel Racing, tuner and driving instructor) used to tune. If I won the lottery, I would have a dynapack in my basement. :goodjob:

I've also had the car on 2 different dynojets. I don't consider dynojet to be a real dyno. Have not been on a mustang or dynodynamics. Though I have an open invitation from the guys at dyno4mance to take some pulls on their dynodyamics which I think would be cool for comparison.

el es juan indeed. Mine is a 94 as well. I think the small improvements over the 93's made quite a difference in the overall package. I've always wanted a miata but I wanted some torque and something easy to work on. I figured the FD to be a better, more manageable package for an LS1 but I have dreams of shoehorning one into an NA one day :).

Yeah the 94 had some improvements over the 93. If I recall, the 93 had an issue where super hot EGTs would cause stuff to combust and the cars would burn. :eek: My 94 had a EGT Overtemp or some such light in the center console. It also had dual airbags, and cost a lot less to insure than the 93. At work we offer "Fire kits" with the solonoids and hoses for people who've had fires in the engine compartment in their 93s.

The 4 banger makes plenty of torque with a snail. Only real downside is it's real spun up on the highway. But that also means if I push the accelerator down only a milimeter on the highway, I instantly get full boost and the thing BOOKS considering it's still in 5th/overdrive. Stock they're slow as dog**** and (IMO) not drivable.

You'd be suprised how easily an LSx engine fits into the miata. There is a company that makes a baller tubular subframe that makes it all possible and easy. Plus it really doesn't weigh any more than the stock engine because it's an iron block/aluminum head vs the all alum LS. I had considered going this route with my silver car. But it's too late and I've already got way too much $$ in the turbo project. BUT if I started over, I'd go LSx with a F body 6 spd.
