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 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.
