1990 Mazda Miata Turbo Build.
Developing a turbocharged NA Miata through mechanical fabrication, engine management, tuning, and iterative problem solving.
Overview
A long-term project centered around developing and improving a 1990 Mazda Miata. The work spans mechanical systems, turbocharging, fuel delivery, engine management, and troubleshooting.
Design and development
Document the turbo system, intake and exhaust, intercooling, fuel system, sensors, and supporting modifications here. Add your own photos, diagrams, and specifications as the project develops.
Engine management and tuning
Describe the ECU setup, calibration process, datalogging, flex-fuel integration, and the reasoning behind tuning decisions. Include verified dyno results and charts where available.
Challenges and lessons
Explain difficult problems, the tests you performed, what the evidence showed, and what you changed as a result.
