Love the build... This thread was awesome education for an internals noob. In for an update...

 

Had an accident car is totaled. Motor completely unharmed. Its for sale pm me.

 

Damnnn......very sorry to hear that.

 

Thank you but its ok and for the best. Moving on to miata cute little buggers that they are.

 

Do you have a complete parts list........I might be interested in a thing or two, but I am not sure exactly what is available, etc.

 

Props to ya man for sure. The car sounds like alot of fun to drive.

 

this sucks... pm me price on cams/springs/retainers if you are parting.

 

Oh crap... Sorry to hear that. Are you OK?

I was looking forward to your engine build and posts.

 

Sorry to hear and hope everything is well.

 

Very sorry to hear about your accident, Matt!

Glad that you're safe, but sorry to see your VQ project end... Good luck with your next project...

To everyones excitement for sure. I am looking at 94'-97' miatas. After calculating the cost of a turbo kit and a built motor. I looked at my sad crashed Z and started singing celine dion my heart will live on and decided this babies going in the next car with trans. The miata trans becomes unreliable over 280whp so screw that nissan power ftmfw kids. The electronics will be a real mf but if they can jam a lsx in a miata I can put a vq in it. Now I have to build custom longtubes for real. You guys aren't getting rid of me yet
Besides I have a complete running car in front of me so the parts are there. Pathfinders are rear sump so thats out of the way.

 

I'll start...........................................Awesome.

 

I will call her Z lite

 

wow never thought of a VQ miata... bet you fly with your engine in there good luck!

 

LOL a built Z motor in a Miata! That ought to be interesting.

 

lmao thats unheard of. good luck with the build it should be a really cool project

 

miata 6spds will actually handle like 500hp

 

Sorry to hear about your car dude! I'm glad your alright, I love(d) your automobuild.

You should score a 240z and swap it!

Man, i just read all 10 pages and this ended like a bad movie for me..I was so excited to see whats gonna happen next and BAM..Thanks a lot! haha jk..
Would there be anything different you would have done now instead parts wise..any regrets?

 

I don't know what I would have done differently. Headers for sure. Heavier flywheel. High flow cats to make the car more enjoyable for everyday use. To be honest doing at all over again I would have been better off doing a built short block with revup cams and a single turbo kit like the powerlabs kit. That way the 3.5fd makes more sense. It has to do with mpg and noise. The tuning would have cost the same. Sorry N/A crowd the dark side was taking over.
