Four years later and I still find myself coming back to this video.
The best executed turbo Miata I have seen.
+zhiminzou90 Thank you!
That's one of the nicest aftermarket interiors I've seen in a car! congrats on your car
Thank you!
This channel is now one of my favorites on RUclips. The amount of time and detail you put into your cars is amazing. Keep up the good work!
+koollegofan Thanks man
You're an inspiration man. All of your builds are insanely clean, and you're clearly very knowledgeable in everything from driving techniques, tuning, building, everything. Your content gets me excited to build my NB2. Thank you! Keep the videos coming!
Thank you brother
This is my favorite Slip Angle video, I found this video about a year and a half ago when I was first getting into the Miata community. It really inspired me to turbo my miata and ever since I saw this video I have loved watching all your other videos and I love the new look of the channel! I want to be entered into the shift knob give away! Thanks!
Haha your hooligan assholing was how I found this channel in the first place how ever many years ago. Nice to see you remaining true to form. I love this video style, keep it up.
+Ethanmeister Thank you! ;)
+MrZachItalia Oh mine? Thanks for checking em out :p
Best video of a Miata review by far!
These videos are great! I enjoy watching and learning, and want to head out to my Miata right now and go for a spin! Nice work on the videos, and fabulous work on the cars!
Thank you!
I gota admit you've made some bloody fantastic decisions with what to do with this car, its a masterpiece. The gauges are my favorite part
You remind me of Leon lush haha. LOVE the Miata, exactly what I am gonna do when I get one. Tastefully modded, well done sir!
Beautifully done sir!!! Love it. And great vid
awesome! Just in time for getting off work. love the videos keep them coming
+Brendan Wilbur Thank you. Will do!
Thank you for uploading this.
Really admire your build Quin. With that said I'd love to see the rx-7 side skirts stay. Thanks for going into detail on everything. Cheers
+efitter7 Thanks man.
your miatas are dream miatas for me great work on both man props
Thanks man
Such a beautiful NA..
+Rui Jin Thanks man.
+Quinn Kizis How much did it Cost to build the Engine like it is in the Video?😊
always love the music choice on these vids.
;)
regret selling my 914 autocross/de car, but looking at a miata purchase. would absolutely love to own this one. very tastefully done, fantastic driving along with a truly enjoyable video. thanks for this Quinn
+hsp-sandiego Thank you!
You're an inspiration for me, sir!
Thank you! Glad I can help!
Slip angle is the best car channel on RUclips... His cars are so fresh. Clean very planned out builds...
Thank you brother 🙌
@@TheSlipAngle i live right in foster rhode Island... 2003 mx5. Splash green. 6 speed.
i really love what you have done to your NA and NB, im thinking of getting a 94 and build the motor to a High Revving Semi-Built Motor, and I love the Retro theme you implemented in your interior
Thanks man. If you want all motor I would highly encourage you to look into a K-Series.
Beautiful! What a sick project, this car look almost perfect to me
+TIBASS1111 Thanks man
Beautiful car. And proper use of the word "hooligan", doubly nice.
Thank you!
That sounds so nice and smooth looks fantastic!
Thank you!
both of your miatas are great I can't wait to get my beginning of next year.
Thanks man
Love this build man, seems like a blast
Thank you!
Nice NA. Great video, keep em coming!!
Thanks man. Will do.
Always quality videos!
Thank you!
really good video!
Great video, I now really want to get mine back on the road to drive it again.
Thank you!
Beautiful story bro, great job amazing video 👍🏼
Thank you! ✌️
You built a gorgeous car..very impressed
Thanks for the tip on the seat source!
www.classiccarseats.com ;)
this is my first time seeing this video and I got to say that I haven't seen many Miata's with autokonexion fender flares on. I got 2 sets, one installed on my Miata and a set in my room and all I can say is they look sooooo good
Right on!
great video. thanks for the effort you put in to it! :-)
+Daniel Davison Thank you. I am glad you enjoyed it!
Cant wait to see the rotary build in this beast
That Miata looks naaaaasty! Awsome build man. I have to make a vid on my VR6T MK3 just like this right after I get a nice camera.
Thank you!
Beautiful Car,Great Video!
Thank you Alan 👍
your video has liturally made me stop trying to sell my 1989 eunos , i shall build it like it deserves
That car is a work of art. WOW
Thank you!
(Giveaway Entry)
Despite this being the days back when it was known as Garage Quinn Motors, my favorite Slip Angle Episode is the Full Review: Turbo Miata as it has helped inspire and allow me to drool over the possibilities for my 1993 Miata. Cheers
I remember coming down the strait to Big Ben and standing on the brakes...lol..man you drove the sh*t out of it...great job !! Watched the whole video while riding the bike..a pissed off bull...I love it..lol
Im finally getting a miata in a month my 1st rwd car and 2nd manual im soo excited its 1 of my dream cars :D
Congratulations 👍
this thing is amazing! wish mine was done like this, all a matter of time
Thank you!
Again that is an awesome interior!
Thank you!
You have the best cars I love those mirrors
Thank you!
Hands down the best Miata on RUclips!
Go take a look at it's NB1 Miata ! it's amazing !
Thanks man!
It's a pleasure for me !
What a hot roadster!! Very nice. 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🏆
Thank you!
Very nice '91! Love it!
Thank you!
hey! I just bought a red 91 NA in CT last week. I was also wondering what to do with it and thought about taking inspiration from the Singer 911s. this one is great! well done!
Thank you!
Your miata has exactly 100whp and 100 ft. lbs. of torque more than my RX-7 SA22C with a streetported & carb'd NA 4 port 13B, just thought it was a funny coincidence, but you have a very beautiful setup and I can only imagine how much fun this is to drive and rip through corners
Thank you Nate!
Thats an awesome car man! I've watched this video several times now. Just started tweaking my own NA.
Questions.. would those wheel/tire dimensions fit when my car is lowered 3 cm?
Thanks man. Unfortunately you would have to cut the crap out of the car and ideally run flares for these wheels to fit.
Lime Rock...we were there in the 80s racing Rx7s out of Auto Trix in Freeport. .
🎉🎉🎉🎉Have I finally found a person with a turbo miata who wants to keep it quiet instead of loud?!
;)
Beautiful build. You wouldn't happen to have an itemized build list published somewhere, would you? I ask as your interior is right along the lines of the direction I am looking to go. Thanks
Thank you, I have a build on clubroadster, but my site www.garagequinn.com will be live this year and will have full details on all of the builds, so keep an eye out for that!
Hi, love the car, your pretty hard on that 5 speed, have you had to replace it yet? And do you run different boost in different gears to ease the strain on the con rods? And what rpm do you have the torque come in with the tune you are running? Thanks, sorry for all the questions, just building my own nb atm, very similar setup to yours, just worried about the torque on the gearbox and rods.. thanks again!..
I've broken two 5 speeds without slamming gears or launching the car. No boost by gear. There are dynos on clubroadster.net under the name Quinn
What size is that steering wheel? Do you happen to know the part number to it?
Thanks.
Miatas, especially NAs, are classic, in fact, they are timeless! They are something from the now getting-old past, which is better, in MHO, than anything being produced today, including the NC and ND Miatas. They are the original conception, genius, and that cannot be improved upon!
lovely car! now review on the FD pleaseee! :)
+Jesse Wan This summer for sure!
I'm on a similar route with my own car...though I started with wheels/tires/suspension/chassis stuff first. There's enough time and money invested I may as well keep it forever.
Awesome car. I am also running MSPNP2 and a greddy setup on my miata, however I struggle with boost issues related to the wastegate actuator. Do you have a recommendation?
+André Baumgartner Get a stronger wastegate actuator and size as close to the max boost you want to run as possible. The more you deviate from what it is rated for, the more it will struggle to maintain that boost level.
Quinn, love the seats in your NA, were there any fitment issues, and can you conform the make, and model? Thx!
He says it in the video, they are lotus seats
this car is dope!
Beautiful Miata
Thank you!
Your welcome
nicely done Miata.
Thank you!
How did you install the S2000 antenna? Where'd you buy that 'spacer' that sits between the antenna and the antenna assembly? Thanks, great looking car!
I bought it as a kit years ago that included the spacer for the NA Miata
body. You just have to remove the old antenna assembly and sandwich the
body with the new antenna assembly, It just screws together.
2.5in or 3in fm tb exhaust? i got the 3 but wolnt be installing for awhile. So far this is the best video representing the sound a fm turbo exhaust i could find so props! trying to gauge better what mine will sound like
Full 2.5" from the turbo back. No cat.
When you did the ARP head studs, did you replace the head gasket or did you leave the head in place and just replace the studs?
Head off and new gasket.
very cool
THIS IS SPARTA!!!!!
Hi! I noticed none of the cars have a coolant reroute. I am curious what is your opinion on the coolant reroute or why haven't you done it :) (i searched your threads if this has been answered before, but i couldn't find one). Thanks!
Since this car is primarily a street car, I don't think it really warrants it. If I were to track it a lot then it might be of benefit. It is only my personal opinion, but I don't think the coolant reroute is as critical as it has been made out to. In Spec Miata we weren't allowed the modification and would run 4 hour enduro races on hot days without issues. Now that doesn't mean that I don't think there is some added benefit to it, but just not a necessity.
Garage Quinn Motors thanks Quinn for your answer, it makes sense :) P.S.: keep up your review style, it's great
Awesome
Thanks
How did you get your Hawk brake pads to not squeal?? Love this car... hope to build mine up similarly one day!!
I didn't do anything. They kind of just make noise whenever they pick and choose lol.
Both your miatas are awesome! But for a day on the track or some curvey roads would you choose the ITB or Turbo one?
+Zypher9dotse Thanks man. I typically enjoy driving the ITB car more for technical stuff. It just edges out the turbo car in regards to the balance and overall experience. Maybe that will change once this turbo cars gets an all motor 13b ;)
I love those seats. Just going through the process of getting rid of all my bandaids on my Turbo miata. Got the MS pro plug and play to take care of all aspects. How long did you spend tuning it?
Full tune on street, then dyno and then correcting again for the street
after usually takes about 12-14 hours when all said and done.
Thanks that is about what I was figuring on..do you have a link to the seat maker?
classiccarseats.com/
Thanks I'll be checking it out.
I'm on the edge of doing something to make my Miata faster, but I'm not really sure about turbo, since this car is my main time attack weapon, and way to master the driving aspects. I've been tracking mine for 2 years now, I would like to add power, but I'm not sure if turbo is a way to go, since I really like N/A engines. Is your setup responsive enough to the throttle? I never put a turbo to any car, so I'm not really sure what to expect.
It's just a really different power delivery. Throttle will never be as responsive as the ITB cars but the ITB cars will never make as much power as the FI cars. Best bet would be to try to get a ride in someone's and see how it feels to you
What kind of seat brackets did you use for the custom seats? And what was the price for the pair if you remember?
I just modified the stock seat rails and made adapter brackets.
Jesus that spool! *heart eyes*
I had a question on how you installed your fender flares; the fronts are fairly straightforward but on the rears there are 2 layers of metal and I'm not quite sure what to do. I've seen people fold the metal over the edge, fill the gap with expanding foam, or weld the gap shut. I'm just curious on how you did yours since I'll be installing some to accommodate wider tires. Any help is appreciated!
I snipped a bunch of notches on the inner layer then hammered them over the other layer and sealed it all with silicone.
Cheers, thanks!
did you do all these mods yourself? also, how much cost wise would you say it cost you for all the aftermarket parts especially those amazing seats and side lamps.
Yes I did. Probably could have bought an ND for what I have into the car.
thats what im debating right now. the nd 2017 rf or the na modded
super old video i hope you reply but was the kg works wing you have did it come painted or did it come in the polyurethane dull color at first
It came with that black kind of glossy gel coat
The Slip Angle what website did you get it off of please tell me ?
Hi, Quinn! How would you compare the GT2560r to the TD04h-15g?
I don't have direct experience with the GT2560r, but I am pretty sure the wheel sizes are similar. If it is ball bearing it will probably punch a little harder as boost comes on. I kind of prefer journal bearing turbos just because they are a little easier to modulate the throttle during corner exit oversteer situations than ball bearing turbos.
@garagequinnmotors Absolutely love this build. Seems like I have the same build goals for my 99. have a fun, fast, street car that can be a strong contender at a track event or two. I'm curious about how much this build cost?
Thanks man. I couldn't give you a dollar amount if I tried. I've never kept track of costs.
Quin, love these videos. I Just picked up an engine from a 99 car that i am planning on rebuilding for a turbo and swapping into my 1992. I'm looking for help creating a build sheet of what is necessary and what is not to make good reliable power (approximately 250-300). Would love the help if you could.
+Will T You can do 250 to 275 whp (maybe even more) all day long on stock internal engine. The tuning and cooling will be the most critical aspects of the reliability assuming you have everything else to support the setup: fueling, drivetrain, etc.
I got a white 91 Miata with a matching hardtop. And it's a base model too haha.
Echoing what everyone else has said. One of the best. Makes me want to pull trigger on a similar build. Question though, there has to be close to 50k put into it?
Thanks man. Definitely not 50k. I would guess somewhere in the low to mid 20s.
Instant smile maker
Awesome build. I can see how in 2005 this would have been a really up-to-date turbo build. If you don't mind me asking why are you still using the FMU with the MS1? Also, why the Greddy EBC and not running a MAC valve off the MS1?
Love the car and I think your builds are some of the most complete and attention to detail orientated for someone that drives the cars so hard. I focused much more on the function aspect on my NA but I agree 100% that the hardtop and other styling ques are needed to distract from the overall feminine presence of the car. Again, credit goes to your great eye for detail. I would almost assume you did some time in the military or a parent perhaps.
+NA6 driver I literally have one of the first run of group buy MSPNPs made. There was issues early on that were sorted out over several firmware revisions, so I didn't really want to mess around with adding auxiliaries. And maybe because 10 years ago, a much less experienced me was probably too afraid to solder more stuff to the board lol.
As for the FMU, it came with the Greddy kit. It was 200.00 for an adjustable FPR or 13.00 for the 3:1 disk that is in there now. Both are just a means of raising fuel pressure, so I didn't really see the benefit of spending the money on an adjustable unit if I could just buy the new disk.
Thank you very much for compliments, but I am neither military or a parent. I am just a guy who loves automotive with a great passion and try to demonstrate that love in the details of my builds :)
+Quinn Kizis I missed the part where you changed the disk in the FMU. I can see how you would need more fuel pressure at your power level on the 460s. I'm a bit lower power than you with fresh 460s and see 80% duty cycle at 180kPa on cold nights at 43psi fuel pressure.
I can also understand not wanting to fix something that isn't broken, and the EBC clearly works well for you, lol. Love the builds man, and thanks for investing into some audio equipment, it really helped out in this video. looking forward to your future projects.
This is the most beautiful thing i have ever seen...
Wow thank you!
finally a video of sliding around with no steering
What size trubo your running did u have to clock the turbo ?
Td04h-15g and yes I clocked it to have more flexibility with running the IC piping.
Sweet car!
Just got me a 2014 miata. Please advise to choose the right stuff to get more power and yet be a daily driving machine.
Thanks
Do you know just how much goes into this? The hours of fucking research and trial and error and then here comes you "please hand me shit for free." Knowledge cost you the same price as the rest of us, TIME. which aint' cheap, so get to reading. XD
Such a sick car, god damn. Do you ever feel like you went with too much horsepower? Since it does seem to be like a hand full to manage or is the 250 horsepower worth it? I have a 99 Miata my self and I always thought around 200 horsepower with small turbo that spools fast would be perfect because it would still be easy as hell to manage but give me that extra power the car is lacking. I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks for making all these informative videos.
+Matthew Heagerty Thanks man. I'd say this car is close to the limit of what the chassis can take before it really becomes a joke car. The track surface at Lime Rock's go kart track is definitely less grippy than normal road conditions. If you are looking for around 200-230 whp I think the Rotrex supercharger kits are the way to go. They are reasonably priced, very simple to install and produce less heat than other superchargers and turbochargers. Or you can do a K series swap if you want all motor. 200 whp N/A is not easy on a BP. I've just about maxed my NB engine out while keeping it streetable and it is making 185 whp all motor.
Quinn Kizis I saw your NB videos and couldn't get enough of that car. Do you think your NB is more fun than an s2000?
I absolutely love s2000's mainly due to the engine and gear box. I feel like the NB is more fun to throw around corners due to lower weight and shorter wheel base or just what mazda did making the chassis, haha.
My dreamcar would be your NA car with all the interior and exterior parts but with your NB ITB engine/handling setup. That would be sick
The funny thing is that I have actually contemplated doing that exact swap in the past.
Are u clutch kicking at all?
I have a similar output turbo miata with lots of chassis and suspension upgrades. It's got Toyo Proxes r1r tires and it's like you say: it's too much grip. Especially on the street if I want to try and drift around a corner, on stock tires I could do it at 30, now I'd have to be going 50 and it's a lot less predictable.
The struggle is real man lol. I just replaced the Kuhmo XS on my NB with Dunlop DZ102's and the car got a lot more playful again. I will be doing the same with this car once the BFG's are done.
awesome
how do you like the car without power steering? I've been debating removing mine and I'm just not sure
unknown1creature just do it, I did it to my nb and I'm absolutely loving it, good weight while driving and certainly don't need it in the parking lot with a car this light
It's not too bad. You probably want to remove as much caster as you can
with the alignment as the steering effort required does increase. The
wider wheels and grippy tires also add to this effect. It is certainly
manageable on a small light car like the Miata though. I mostly did it
for the space savings and to be able to run my IC piping how I wanted
to. My NB with only 8" wheels and 205 tires is much nicer to drive with a
depowered rack.
Never had it in mine, parking etc is a bit of a workout, but once you get going all is well. All in all, i'm glad i don't have it as i love the feeling.
