400HP Miata Gets A BIGGER Turbo! Will It Be Enough?

[@OscarLopez-xf2kl]

This is the perfect example of those 20 min jobs taking 6 hours and two trips to the part store 😂

[@austingutierrez2709]

Brutha 2 ??? I’ve never had so few parts trips 😂😂😂

[@AdamKueflef]

Untill you forgot the part store isn't open on a Sunday so you hope Walmart has something that will work

[@G0ldmoon]

and he had all the tools on hand, when he had to tap that bolt I'd have gone and had a sulk and given up for the day/weekend.

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

Turbo swaps are always a huge pain 😂Hoping for a dyno chart overlay to compare the powerband between the two turbos! Always love to see some spicy back-to-back turbo comparisons

[@_Gingium_]

Yeah really wish I brought the car to a local dyno before doing the turbo swap so I had an accurate comparison! Either way excited for spicy turbos!

[@legogaming6585]

Id say order the Kraken manifold. It obviously isnt cheap, but it would be the best way to make everything fit

[@yungkidnf]

Sometimes you just gotta pay that cost

[@_Gingium_]

The problem is that, I don’t believe, they make a manifold for the 1.6L 🥲

[@legogaming6585]

@@_Gingium_ hey, could always make an adapter plate! You do have the CNC table now, plus your skills as a fabricator have grown exponentially since i started watching you back during the OG molly days

[@jv6miata]

@@_Gingium_ Kraken makes a 1.6 manifold, with downpipe turn down all cast.

[@MikevanEsch]

​@@_Gingium_they do last time I checked

[@OGPedXing]

I built my own 3 inch downpipe for exactly the same reasons. I used a 1 inch 5 hole flange to a 3 inch 90 that i cut at an angle and manipulated the end into an oval to fit the flange. Clears with no issues and 5 years later, no cracks in the welds.

[@carracuda3920]

You have been a great help with your Miata videos too sir!

[@feverdream2661]

This is the exact situation that has people quit on their project car builds. But what makes you Gingium is that you toughen through it and always get it done.

[@ericsson_motorsports]

I'm coming to Miatas at the gap all the way from Sweden lmao, been a viewer since you bought Molly so I'm happy to hear you're coming as well

[@Brock_Landers]

Bro, I still remember seeing you arguing with EVERYONE on other KZbin creators videos...and now look at you. I guarantee that you dont remember me, but I always told you years ago that you just keep being you and don't worry about the haters. Now you've got an awesome shop, you've built so many cool cars, and you're still saying screw the haters. Way to go brother!

[@BulliKid]

Thanks for showing the problems you faced

[@Sneka97]

With that level of power, you should meet up with the miata daddy aka the car passion channel It would definitely be a fun collab!

[@cerevo]

after spending all afternoon working on my miata, I come watch Caleb work on his. I can't wait for MATG!

[@vincentcolson7963]

Hope you get some video from the GAP to post. Had hope to make it, but wife comes before toys. She has health issues, maybe next year if she is doing well enough. Glad to see Molly making a show, you, Car Passion and Slip Angle help push me to go with a MIATA.

[@Sopperduck36]

"I'd like to make a formal apology to SCE Gaskets" XD

[@miata_man5632]

This very Miata (Well actually both your Miatas) is a huge part of what got me into cars in the first place. It's awesome to see them getting some love again.

[@SecwetGwiwer]

The turbo Molly needs is a G25-550.

[@rhettsalsbury9394]

Maybe you can use the old turbo on the sequoia. Turbo 2UZ, pulling a supercharged 1UZ, sounds BA ngl

[@derekdotson3716]

Y’all need to come up to southern WV/ south western VA we have the back of the dragon and the head of the dragon very close together.

[@Scuffed_Gambit]

It's nice to see Molly getting a new turbo and exhaust setup, can't wait to see the improvements 👌

[@JamieBainbridge]

I recall a paper or blog or video where someone tests helicoils, they're actually stronger than their original thread. The theory was because the helicoil has a larger contact area with the metal, and is better quality metal against the original stud or bolt.

[@lilcondiment.2481]

that time the intro litteraly flashbang me for real DAMN !

[@Epicguy2488]

Super excited to hear you’ll be attending Matg! Can’t wait to check out your miatas!

[@lupulflamand5673]

Well... when it comes to turbos the only limits are the engine and budget.

[@handle690]

ZOOT TOOT TOOOT! This is the dopest miata on youtube.

[@nwelsh84]

Can't wait to see the drift truck back in the spotlight. Last time we went this long without an update on a current project, it burned to the ground...

[@michaellambert1190]

It could be if your housing is a gt25 and the gasket is a t25. They are slightly different. Found this out years ago on my Mazdaspeed Protege. Came with a gt2554r and when it gave up the ghost, I swapped a t25 from a Silvia and had to do the same thing to my dp

[@brysonshires9742]

I have a gutted 2.0 probe. Dreaming of a msp swap for it

[@TheReal_JG]

So good to see Molly again.

[@Toxic-Stitch]

I love ur channel because u keep it real. U tried to slip the turbo going onto the fit it there real fast, next clip lost my jack handle this works pretty…..oh shit 😂. Gotta love it. Keep the personality in the channel and u will continue to grow my man.

[@402SHO]

Heard a more then a few problems with the precision turbos. Calvo is really on there neck right now showing all the examples. Hope you have better luck 💪🏽. If you do another turbo build look at Xona rotor they are American brand partnered with Tial sport.

[@Drunken_Hamster]

Shoulda just gone straight for an S252 or S257SX-E or for ball bearing, an EFR 6758 or 7163 with the G-type housing. Borgs blow everything else out of the water from what I've read.

[@jonathanyoungblood8676]

Just a bad ass Miata , I hope mine turns out at least half as good 👍

[@J4rn0]

Thought its pretty normal to beat/cut/weld your firewall at that place. The other elbow is so much nice and will flow so much better. I got the same type of deal but from Kraken

[@Guy_9991]

Always love molly getting more attention

[@fabiocarra1997]

love to see more content about molly, defenetly my favorite of your cars!

[@LHT-Casual]

So hype for Honda Fit content!!

[@danielharvey3591]

This is the only channel I welcome the flashbang intro at 11pm

[@terrorbird4022]

You’d be better off K swapping the fit, with the turbo you get a nice nugget, but the k makes for a nasty N/A beast. Check out VTEC Academy’s K fit

[@someperson7]

I like how the music sounded like his turbo noises.

[@PromisedWalkOfPeace]

seems like that mini cooper living rent free in your head.

[@zerodqkov341]

Nice upgrades !! Loving the electronic boost controller functions!!

[@boostedaccord566]

Should definitely upgrade from that log style manifold and do external Wastegate

[@dannyloughman]

Molly was so good already, I hope this new turbo pays off

[@bradytharp8194]

Most relatable car vid on KZbin 😂

[@kagman10]

Was there an upgraded transmission on Molly? Starting to get into the danger zone of the stock 6spd lol.

[@tomhunter91]

If he was actually anywhere near 400 hp ...

[@jerrykawatski9940]

You should bring your miata to miatas at the gap this week it is a good time. Show everyone your work.

[@slandon1977]

My understanding is that Molly will indeed be at MATG.

[@670cars8]

I’ve had the drift truck poster on my wall for 2 years and now I’m buying a b2200 for myself

That turbine housing needs longer studs. You want more threads engaged.

[@landon390]

That just kept getting more and more difficult!

Cutting that driver side firewall shelf is the biggest PITA, but would be 100% worth it to run that Kraken elblow.

[@MegaKnutten]

[@tubejorrit]

please don't cheap out and get the Kraken manifold, it flows better then the FM manifold and your downpipes will fit better resulting in more power.

[@rufusllewelyn]

Driftttt truckkkk where issss itttttt

[@alexledesma1609]

Can't wait to see more fit content.

[@crisaraya2558]

Next upgrade is to go to an external wastedgate turbo :) thrust me, same turbo just being external wastedgate will surprise you.

[@travis7212]

Use PTFE oil lines next time. Can handle way more heat.

[@nickydonuts7632]

what turbo size and brad is it and what parts did you have to upgrade to get a bigger turbo?

[@perzhaska8077]

Such a grind to make the turbo fit 😂

[@zerodqkov341]

Yes more horsepower is always the answer

[@PeterHatch-mx7zc]

Good as always thks

[@Toasted_Bagel_]

It's crazy how broken the youtube algo is. I've been subscribed to you since before you moved but I never get recommended any of your vids. I had to go searching your videos when i realized it's been MONTHS without seeing them. Just caught up on a bunch of builds and now the feed is suggesting your new videos.

[@Mopar_logic]

Thanks for the videos

[@legogeeksbackyard]

Yeo Ging, how often does your die grinder bits get stuck? Also, cant wait for more drift truck fabbing!

[@_Gingium_]

Quite often lol. I’ve found putting it in the vise and wacking it with a hammer useful.

@@_Gingium_ Thank god lol, i was about to warranty my die grinder, guess its common

I look forward to every Sunday bc of your videos ❣️

[@danielthemanual1]

Wish I would have known you are going 3”. I have a FM 3” downpipe lees than 2 hours from Madison/Athens

[@GothicEmo289]

You should T51-R mod the turbo for the whistle🤤

[@krowngarage9498]

You should get a coil on plug for the Miata.

[@Bobbie_1999]

Just buy the Kraken low mount, would solve all your issues and would have been much better appearance and performance wise!

[@mrfluffymuffin9104]

Kraken does make a manifold for the 1.6L i have it on my car. FAB9 sells it

[@marvinvisser5039]

You would expect there would be some off the shelf options for 500+ hp 😛😊

[@calebb5106]

that one e/c clip you put onto the turbo bit looked pretty loose, i would be concerned that it may fall off while driving if it went on that easily

[@chadl.981]

I would have personally not run that gasket between the manifold and turbo. Blew out several too many before realizing you do not need one at all and it will not leak with clean and true surfaces.

[@penguinoc63]

Are you trying to make a rocket to space? 😂😂

[@Jeffball610]

If you planned to keep this new turbo, you could have just gotten the matching manifold to place the downpipe where you wanted it and gotten the full exhaust you wanted. Also, if you had to weld the wastegate arm anyway, why not weld the old fitting's hole shut and drill a new one? Hindsight and outside perspective are good ways to improve your point of view. I know the schedule of making videos is tough, but take a step back and evaluate the situation instead of forging ahead with brute force.

[@lincolnkrause6687]

Nice vid dude

[@Chasitek]

Yay. Matg!

I have a new Kraken 1.6 efr bottom mount manifold with downpipe and heat shield in box. Not sure if you need 1? Was going to sell mine. Sold my track miata. I'm in NY/NJ

[@SkyEatsTyler]

you legit have a plasma table that you could have cut a tab out for the waste gate and welded it to the end of the threads..... lol

[@joshuanicolai4776]

Why are you still using the cast exhaust manifold? You could free up a decent amount of power with a tubular manifold

I’m just waiting for 6 months in the future, now that you have two Honda Fits. “Hey guys, I just bought this totaled Dodge Demon from a junkyard, and I’m going to put that Hemi into my Fit!”

[@Nikochicoo]

Why didn't you go with GBC22-350? Cheaper, Smaller, alot faster spool and you can easily get 400 whp with it
