This should be a sticky on every Miata forum...

It would be great if you redid this video as the options have massively changed both in availability (some of these don’t exist anymore), in offerings (some have upgraded), and also in pricing - flyin’ miata is double now.

Honestly, don't know what I'd do without you dad. so many important life lessons in one video :')

I don’t even have a Miata and I instantly saved this video

Dang, my flyin miata turbo kit must be incomplete without that ballcock shank washer

Can't turbo my NA until I'm out of dental school but wow, you are awesome! You're the reason I bought a Miata 3 years ago and you still continue to be the Miata GOAT! Thanks again Greg

After watching this before I bought turbo gear and now that I’ve gone through many many engines and have found a great setup that works for me (260whp) in watching this again I can’t recommend enough please listen to this advice. He is bang on with setups. You might save yourself $100 here and there but in the end you’ll pay for the short cuts you take. Take a little longer to save and Buy a kit from a reputable brand. Really interesting watching this again knowing what I know now. I wish I had listened more. But you’re wrong on one thing too - don’t buy used injectors. New ones aren’t that expensive.

Greg, I just wanted to say thank you because I am about to go turbo this summer for my NB and I'm new to the Miata life. This is a massive help, thanks man!

*Did someone say Miata?*

For anyone who is wondering about the mazdaspeed turbo setup. I’m currently running it with the FM intake, adaptronic ecu, 420cc injectors, and straight pipe. Car is sitting on 15psi and it does the job. But with this setup you won’t be getting anywhere close to the 250hp range. I recommend just doing a different setup. Save ur time and money

The holy bible of turboing miatas is here. Awesome job. Also, wouldn't be a bad thing to add a small side note at the end, regarding the extra cost beyond 250-300whp and a short list of what needs to be done. Built engine, additional cooling, trans swap, ignition & fuel upgrades etc.

Best info out there hands down!! I truly appreciate what you put into your channel and all I’ve learned from you. Keep it up

What a great video Greg! Informative content like this saves us all so much time and money, thanks mate.

Always knew I wanted to turbo a car but had no idea where to start, I've got a 350Z but this was so damn helpful.

Thank you very much for constantly putting out great content. The information in your videos is priceless.

Hey Greg, I just wanted to say a massive thank you to all of your videos. I'm in the process of collecting all the parts to turbo my 99 NB. Your videos have helped me through a lot of confusing decisions so just wanted to say a massive thank you brother!

You my friend are a legend. Thank you for sharing all this info and I hope someone sponsors you soon

Greg... outstanding! Including all the other background work and info. Nice one mate👍

I don’t have a miata or a turbo or a piston engine at all but i’m still about to watch this whole video. love you greg 💕

This video is going to have millions of views in a few years. Great vid as always Craig

bought my first NA last month, currently saving up (we all know how that goes...) for a MK full setup (minus exhaust). i only wanna make like 200 at the wheels...but while shooting exhaust flames out the hood! i am pretty stoked i managed to find a rust free 1990 with coils, wheels, swaybars, hardtop, tires, 1.8 torsen swap, and 118k miles for $3500.

Thank for the knowledge Greg! Love this video. You are the best

OMFGGGGGGGGGG I NEEDED THAT VIDEO SO HARD You are clearly my best car youtuber ! Greetings from France

This is probably the most useful, most bestest ever videos I’ve ever watched. Thank you Greg, keep it up.

Great info and video!Bravo Greg!

Thank you sharing your experience with turbo'd Miatas. I picked up some good points from your video.

Thank you for making videos like this I’ve been thinking so hard if I should turbo my 92 na Miata or selling it for something bigger. But now I’m glad to say I’m going for the turbo thank you

Greg, thank you for doing this video!!

Best Miata channel !!! Hands down !!! 💙💙💙💙

Thanks as always for all the info Greg! Today I'm dropping my forged VVT into my 90' chassis. For the past few months my Miata has been on jack stands (I know you know that feeling better than most people). I can't wait to get my baby back on the road with those 'stangs in my rear view mirror!

So glad you’re still making videos

Nice work Sir, jam packed full of good info. Also I tried an xtd stage3 clutch in my 1g DSM, was the worst driving experience ever. A bite point that was impossible. That's one area I'll never cheap out on again.

You covered all the kits even the ones most of us won’t even consider. Props man. There a lot of options for this car and turbo’s. Glad to see you make videoes again., in your wheel house.

I have Kraken turbo kit @ 18psi.. for 2 years... never been happier...

Saving this video for hopefully one year from now!

The quality of your videos is unbelievable. Man, I feel the effort that goes into them.

Dude, you are so knowledgeable when it comes to Miata’s. Thank you for sharing.

Love your videos - can always go back to them and use em as a reference for whatever I'm working on. Keep being awesome!

This is a incredibly helpful video thank you so much for content like this! Keep it up

Great job on this Greg.

This is by far the most useful miata turbo related video on youtube. Ive spent countless hours trying to figure this stuff out.

Although this might be a smaller market with less views, I'm so glad for you to have made this. It's going to help so many people.

Even if you don’t build Miatas your videos are good for just basic knowledge on building boosted cars I feel like you leave that out! I just enjoy the content 👌

Greg myman you just answered all my questions! Stay rad dude

Dope af ... This gives me good ideas for my rx7

:) Great vid. As usual. Love the outro! Beastmode engaged.

Awesome video man!! This is super helpful!!

Kraken user here. From shipping time to actual delivery was about a week to Texas. I have his 1.8nb kit w/ a complete 3" exhaust. Extremely well made for the price. You can find GT2554r or 2560r almost everywhere for under $350. The MKTurbo is also well known and of good quality but I hear of consistent delay issues that could are months long.

Those Kraken kits are the best thing you can get price/quality, I bet the hardware is better then FM but FM comes with hardlines for the turbo and oil lines. I really hope Kraken can make these in the future.

I'm sorry I'm late dad i just got home from work. So excited for this video!!!! Much love always!

Thank you! I was just looking into this today. Because of your channel and Broke and Boosted, I decided to seriously search for a NA/NB Miata to store my hairdryer. All jokes aside, thanks.

Another great video Greg!

Greg...... You just made my life so easy. I've been kicking different ideas around in my head for some time now. I know exactly what I'm getting now. You should charge$$$ for this info. I know I saved myself some time and money by watching your tube vids. ITS GONNA BE AWESOME!!!! LOL

hopefully going turbo this upcoming may, this video will help

Thanks for the effort, super useful

I am thinking about doing ITBs on my Miata, but this was an awesome video!

Is there a love option for this video? What a great video that is very informative and helpful!

i dont even own a miata no more but i always enjoy your shows so educational ,kudos to you brother

Your the man. Love what you do

Beautiful video

I am going to finish my turbo build the next weeks and you are one reason I began starting it and doing it myself last year. So much info, so much details that just helped me out. I'll have a 94 1.8, 6 gear, torsen, 3 inch exhaust, oil cooled, water rerouted, Garret 2560, 240 hp miata... Everything is finished... only transmission swap and the new torsen left... Thank you! Also next steps: fully build engine and going to 300 hp :)

I just installed a carb legal fm kit on my NA and I went from start to finish in 3 days. Driving down the road boosted without issue lol. I love it. Add a mega squirt and boost controller and you’re solid.

Definitely saving this video to a playlist for when I can afford to boost mine 🙌🏼

Holy crap, dude this was the best and most informational video I have seen related to Miatas and turbocharging. Thank you so much. Wb the bell tuning and performance kit tho. There’s is based in Texas and carb legal. It’s super legit too

I'm saving this for later use, I'm getting a Miata as my second car in roughly 2 months and will turbo it a few months down the road once I have a few other things done to it

Great info,... keep it up man !

Gregory this was a fantastic video and I don’t even have an mx5! You tackled the flywheel question and said it was probably a myth. Good chap! Lightweight flywheels all the way! GT2560R is the one, not just for the cars in your world, but the Clio world too. G

Made my heart flutter when you placed the Trackspeed on top, since I already blew 3300 on the kit. 😂

just a quick one from the UK been watching you for a while after deciding to turbo my mx5 I went with a kit from motorsport electronics, that pretty much came with everything apart from wideband and clutch cost was £2500.00 ive just put everything together with the instructions provided and also great customer support using parts from G19 as well. the kit looks good quality and the instructions were informative being my first turbo build it helped me a lot. anyway in a couple of days its going in to get mapped properly and looking to the 250BHP at the wheels (hopefully!!!) if anybody is interested and wants to learn more about this kit I can help.

Rocking REVENT Turbo kit including and IC piping for 7th year!!! Never skipped a beat. Good man who is on the market for long should definitely be in the video.

Omg not sure if you will see this but just bought an 01 mx5 and wanted to know how I could turbo but keep something's stock for so long in that case I thank you for making this and hope that some who need this info find this video very soon lol

Been waitinggggg for this

Not doing a turbo on my car, but this is a GREAT Video with GREAT Information!!! It Is a MUST SEE for anyone thinking about boosting their miata!!!

New here with my first NA Miata with the 1.6. I’ll be boosting it on my own, I built my own turbo setup on my Honda Del sol, having mig and Tig welders at home makes it all so much easier. But I used an eBay tubular manifold and modified it and reinforced the welds on it, and used random intercooler piping pieces and just welded it as I need to and it came out nice and clean. Had a Garrett t25 but am now running an amazon special Turbo and it spoils great, runs fantastic at 9psi around 250whp. Can’t wait to build my setup for the Miata, main concern is the tuning software that’s the expensive bit it seems

Spent $670 on solely hardware for my eBay 1.8 turbo kit that I pieced together myself. Another $670 for MSPNP2, $45 for RX8 injectors from a pick n pull yard, $150 for wideband and $260 for custom downpipe. $1800 for the full kit essentially, and tuning done by myself. So far it’s been running great, EBay is definitely the way to go if you’re on a budget. Could have saved maybe $200 if I went internal wastegate but I wanted to do a wastegate yeet pipe and hear cool wastegate noises, external was totally worth it

Amazing video. Keep it up because i’m trying to upgrade the hell out of my miata

Greg, what I personally have found with the widebands is its not the brand, but it's the distance people are fitting them away from the turbo (eg to far away). If you read the bosch official documentation on the lsu4.9 sensors, they can handle up to ~900°c which your engine will never see, without it blowing up!

I'm about to start my turbo build using a td04 turbo from subaru forester 2.0 and have a manifold and downpipe made by my friend who's a pro welder. The most expensive thing on my shoping list should be an megasquirt but we'll see. Anyway this video motivated me to start wrenching on my miata a bit more

Informative video man, holy shit! Funny to compare my setup and being remembered that mine is more custom than i thought.. Some Specs: Garret GT2860 RS with a custom RB26 elbow from a Skyline. Custom manifold and 3''downpipe.. Audi R8 Red Top Coilpacks Mitsubishi Evo 5 Fuelpump and intercooler Mitsubishi Evo 8 Dumpvalve ECU and Sensors are all Haltech.. And more, producing > 309,4 HP on the crank.. It's pretty robust, running this setup with no issues for 2 years now.

I have the cxracing kit without the manifold, I use a flyin miata cast iron manifold. The downpipe had to be cut and rewelded but besides that it worked beautifully. I'm excited to weaken this chinese turbo and upgrade! Its all because of your videos. Anyone thinking about doing a turbo build just know turbo miata brings smile to my face. Thank you for your service Greg

I dont even have a miata but ive watched this multiple times over, SUPER interesting

Awesome video

Hands down THE best and most informative Miata related video I have seen. Great job!

When it comes to the cx racing kit i have had it for 2 years... 1. The manifold is bullitproof, the person that built my first engine was asinine, and when it grenaded the manifold took on the fat hit. There was barely a scratch on it. The original turbo has never failed me (running 18 psi) and everything lined up perfectly! I whole heartedly vouch for this kit! I am in not way related to or sponsored by CX Racing but they made a great product and at a good price!

Great info. Was thinking about a cheaper turbo setup...but after the flyin Miata bolt on everything works now as it is kit...man that extra cost may be worth the lack of future headaches lol. Thanks for the vid.

thanks man this video comes in handy !!!

Great content. I have a few questions I'd like to ask. 1. When will you have to upgrade your injectors? How much boost can you run before having to upgrade injectors? 2. Can you get 180kw with cheap turbo and A set of camshafts and port flowed head? 3. What if your car is front wheel drive? Is the gearbox and diff much stronger because they are in 1 package? 4. What if your engine was a reverse flow. Intake port and exhaust port in same direction? What must you do to get the most amount of hp without heat issues

I currently boosted my 92 1.6 Miata with the Ebay DYI T3 turbo kit, stock ecu with the AFM and stage 1 XTD clutch and 13 pound lightweight flywheel. Running perfectly. Hardest part of the build is intercooler piping, i had to order extra elbows. Routing it was a pain because i decided to keep the AC. And also drilling and tapping the oil pan since the ac is in the way. Now i did bought black mamba oil feed line and return line, vacuum lines, FMU, and Flyin Miata o2 sensor modifier, a Narrowband, and get a custom down pipe made to plug with my ISR cat-back exhaust. You will also have to buy and change your engine oil and filter, new coolant, water lines, drill bits and taps for the oil pan. 3 layer exhaust manifold gasket and make sure you get the cast exhaust manifold instead of the tubular one since they tend to crack with heat. I also have a 1.8 torsen LSD and 1.8 Miata injectors running a safe 8 pounds of boost and a 8 degree timing on the engine because i have an intercooler. I used the high pressure oil port on the side of the engine so i did had to buy the AN4 fitting. All said and done i feel i have a happy medium build. Just know that if you chose to do an eBay kit, you will have to buy extra stuff and will have to do custom modification to the piping, manifold, intercooler mounting brackets.... if i had to do it again, i would probably buy a full kit, just because it takes a lot of time to custom fit everything. Also if you don’t have basic mechanic knowledge do not attempt to install an eBay DIY kit, and just know that you better plan on having the car down for more than 2 days, so don’t attempt if that is your only car. You better plan on having a back up car while you install the kit. FYI: The boost gauge and blow off valve and boost controller supplied with the kit work great by the way. Also currently saving up to buy a Megasquirt ecu. This car is just my project car therefore it is not a priority.

Thanks Greg!

This was super helpful. I wish I would have found this video before I purchased, but I purchased well and bought the Flyin Miata full kit...post pandemic cost over 7K, but it's pretty complete. I've been trying to figure what I need to get me beyond the 200 who. That sweet spot of 250 who and your video helped with that. Thank you....didn't know half the companies you mentioned even built kits. So thanks for your expertise!

Been using xtd 6 puck clutch and flywheel for the last 3 years at 240whp on 20+ track days and have had zero issues. I will say I have flywheel chatter but no other negative.

Techedge 2j2 wideband controllers are really good. Had one with the optional gauge in mine for the last 5 years.

Speeduino pnp is a great budget option for ECU. Aren there any twinscroll manifolds?

Showering us with information...blessed be the peace makers.

I'm currently in the middle of turbocharging my miata, and I just want to say that if it wasn't for your videos I wouldn't have had the confidence to start this project. So thank you man, I hope you'll keep making these helpful videos!!

Fantastic vid! Definitely helps with all the research ive already done, hopefully turbo'd by mid 2020 ^_^ This year is suspension

awesome!! Thank you so much

lots of good info !!!

Why is this video only at 12k views this is one of the best videos you've made

I have the Kraken manifold and a custom downpipe from him. He is awesome to work with he made me a custom downpipe 3 inch for a t25 from a 300zx tt.
