Sam's Proper MX-3 - LT Turbo project *Parting out*
-
mazda rx7 walbro 225 fuel pump is the popular choice on turbo zes
n/a stock pump is fine will still run rich.
-
@861b5d151d=youdirtyfox:
you dont need to swap to uprated fuel pump when you do the klze
do you?No the stock fuel pump easily delivers enough pressure for a NA KLZE
-
Cool, no need to swap yet.
Looking at the piggyback ecu side of things i can save
a couple hundred quid by buying and fitting an emanage
myself with a boomslang plug and play harness with knock sensor.make that a safe 165bhp then,lol
@3cfcfccc54:
The Greddy eManage will return better fuel economy on a low boost setup and works well up to about 180bhp (1.8) or 165bhp (1.6) but makes compromises to the tuning as the power increases. If you are wanting 200bhp or more, then we highly recomend the Emerald ECU (our preferred engine management solution). The Emerald tuned on the rolling road outstrips both BEGI FMU and Greddy eManage in number of features, economy and driveability
-
i would recomed fcon,omex or pectal ecu
-
depends on where i going for mapping will
depend upon there chosen ECU really,
not sure i can stretch to full standalone though.That quote^ is from mx5mad in essex.

Just another idea I thought I would share! :D

@271f7ecb7c=youdirtyfox:
Cheers, yep lets hope so! there is a very good bodyshop round the corner
from me so if it's not I may get them to do it….
... going to get some XYZ coilovers first though I've decided, then the bumper :DAlso made the decision to stop looking for an IHI VJ11 turbo
as they are few and far between and ideally i want to fit a new turbo!
So im going to start work on an adaptor block to take the IHI flange
on the turbo manifold to be able to accept a garrett T25, T28 or even GT series roller bearing turbo 8)Breif guestimation of costs of turbo conversion for anyone interested:
Turbo~ £300 or less.
Management~£700 roughly for greddy emanage blue igntion & fuel
fitted and mapped.
Cluch~£150.
Wideband lambda~£120.
Exhaust~£70 if I DIY it.
Turbo dump pipe~£50 or less depending on type.
Injectors~£50 or less
Intercooler~50 or less
boost pipes~£50 or less
oil lines~£20
water pipe connectors~£10Now that little lot should be tuneable to 230bhp with the right turbo on standard internals from reading on some of the mx5 forums, but a nice reliable 190 will do me nicely :lol:
T3 T4 turbo is 150quid mate new
-
Bit big for my 1.6 engine running 7psi, looking for really quick spool up! Cheers though :)
-
they put t3 t4's on rs turbo's also a 1.6
-
yeah know mate, and tbh it would be easier making a t3 fit as you could use
an adaptor plate on the mani instead of a adaptor block. seen a fully rebuilt t25
with 360 race bearing and stagger gap seal for 200 quid just up the road from me,
i wanna boost as low down the rev range as poss :)
-
just some more info on the turbo conversion:
http://www.boomslang.us/ can possibly build a plug and play harness
running emanage blue (ignition and fuel) if I send them the schematics for
around $200.
schematics here : http://mx-3.com/manuals/index.php?folder=/1995 Workshop Manual/Z/I've also enquired into a SPEC stage 1 clutch from the UK
http://www.specclutch.com/dealers/United_Kingdom
with a torque rating of 195 lb/ft wich retail at $269,
yet to find out a UK price though.Also some good info here : http://miataturbo.wikidot.com/fuel-injectors
-
No need for an adaptor block now as I just bought this little beauty
of ebay.usa for £140 delivered :D :D :DUmmed and arghed about it, then watched some 323 turbo vids on
youtube wich swung it for me :lol: 8)
IHI VJ-11 off a Ford probe! Just needs a slight mod to the wastegate actuator
bracket to fit supposedly.
-
Turbo turned up today! no shaft play wich is great for a Turbo
on 90K ish miles.Next up to get will be 330cc 3SGE MR2 injectors…
-
damn man everyones going all turbo. i still think though now my green ze off the road after the rebuild i wanna go the sc route just to be super cool and sexy heh
-
Nice. Looking forward to seeing this! Plenty of smashed mr2s about to get those :lol:
-
Cheers! I'll hopefully end up using an MR2 intercooler aswell like on my last build :D
-
gave the turbo a bit of clean up and checked it fitted the mani :o
-
i dont suppose u upratedthe engine mounts for the turbo setup?? i got some mazda speed engine mounts from corksport when i had the red 1.6 but never put em on. they just lying in my bedroom. if u want em. i paid like 250-300 wityh shipping but would sell em for like £100 if u interested. ill take some pics and send em to ya if you interested.
-
Hhmm tricky, last turbo conversion I did, I uprated the lower mount only
because it was a heavier iron lump, did make it a little more noisy though.
So personally for me I wouldnt want to uprate them all, cheers though ;)
-
Alright been thinking about how to do the intercooler and boost pipes recently. The plan is, use an MR2 intercooler wich the inlet/outlet will go
underneath the front cross-member.
Can spin the outlet of the turbo so it faces down to make a really short tract using 40mm and 50mm I.D. rubber hoses ( 40mm off the turbo and 50mm on the intercooler)
Got some 50mm alloy pipe wich Im going to spin down to make some swaged reducers to 40mm, all pipe work will be black to look as factory as possible
:Dbeen looking on mx3.com and found theres a place on the side of the block thats bunged with a grub srcew that I can use as the oil feed (1/8) so im going the make up a solid pipe to the turbo, i have a 323 sump wich has an oil return union already there.
Going for a pair of these :
http://www.cbsonline.co.uk/modular-hose-connectors-481-c.asp
to 't' into the top and bottom rad hoses for turbo coolant supply and return.other issues i can see are the EGR pipe being removed and plugged and
maybe extending the wires for the lambda probe and a flexi join from the turbo to the standard exhaust.
… and then onto what management.
