Is Turboing Your Car Worth It?

The day has come to find out if all of our hard work has paid off, has it been worth it to throw a turbo kit on the Miata in our journey for more power. Today we wrap up what needs to be done in order to get the Miata back down to the Dyno at EF1 Motorsports. Will it explode? Will it even make it down? Will it make more power? So many questions!!! Let’s get to it!
We have a new channel!

Feeling the kick of a turbo for the first time is the best feeling in the world. Especially if you installed it yourself.

[@adamhayden5152]

Nah, just getting to experience boost for the first time when you never have before is super cool. I’m 42 and just bought my first turbo’d car. 2014 Cadillac ATS 2.0T 272hp 260 tq stock. Super cool to feel that boost build, can really feel it around 3k it starts really pulling. I bought the car in Jan 2022 and spent 10k in performance and cosmetic changes it’s now on E50 With aux fueling making 320wheel hp. My next plan is building the motor to handle more power. So forged internals zzp stage 3 cam and 20g hybrid turbo I’ll be around 450 wheel.

[@quillmaurer6563]

@@adamhayden5152 Sounds pretty impressive. My first experience with forced induction was my dad's '96 Camaro, which has an aftermarket Procharger-style supercharger installed on it. I've only driven it a few times, only see my mostly-estranged dad on rare occasions. That car makes something like 475 horsepower, which in a way actually makes the boost harder to utilize - it's so powerful to begin with you have to go out of your way to see even a couple PSI before blasting way through the speed limit, even on the freeway. My dad usually drives it as gently as a granny, has only fully unleashed it once or twice. My next boost experience, the first turbo (at least that I know of, some modern cars are turbo but so muted you'd never know, more lag from the auto trans than the turbo) was in my '73 Volkswagen Super Beetle. Spring/summer 2020 (pandemic project) I added a turbo to it. Not a huge amount of boost, 8 PSI or so, but I figure that bumped power from the stock 60 to maybe 90 HP, I've not had it on a dyno. Thus not a fast car by any means even with the turbo. But the engine responds very well to boost, feels like more than proportional to manifold pressure. And being relatively low power means I actually use the boost on a regular basis. Car is an absolute hoot to drive. Yet still workable as a daily, only notable turbo-related issues I've had with it are cheap exhaust gaskets blowing out (not designed for boost) and hoses popping off. The turbo actually improved my fuel economy a little bit, too - wasn't really expecting that but certainly not complaining!

Can't wait for the track day. I'd love to see more videos like this! Taking lemons, adding some power adders and track mods and seeing how it goes!

[@Cooe.]

A mid-90's Miata is NOT a lemon in any way, shape, or form... -_-

[@brixelirvincabatingan9382]

I can really feel how happy Zack is. I remembered the time I drove my first Miata. It was black too.

Yassssssss!!! Great job studs. That was a sick series!!!

[@robertcastiglione5995]

This was so worth the wait. I’m unbelievably happy for Zach.

[@Fightface]

Man I really do appreciate you guys doing this series. When I do *eventually* get a Miata I definitely plan to turbo it. This’ll be a great basic guide

[@leviblock7574]

I'm in the same boat as you. Once I find a stable job and put a % towards a money pit, it will be fun watching these again.

[@angelgjr1999]

Buy a Mustang GT. You can make same power with an N/A V8. If you do turbo it, expect 400-500 hp.

[@brianj7787]

@@angelgjr1999 Except the only mustangs available at the same price as an NA miata are heavy solid axle boats, turbo miata will handle way better and be faster due to much better power to weight. Edit: I don't mean to shit on mustangs, just if you're in the market for a Miata chances are a mustang isn't going to satisfy you

[@angelgjr1999]

@@brianj7787 A stripped down SN95 can weigh less than 3,000 lbs. Mustangs aren’t that heavy consider they have a V8. A few mods like wider tires, tower struts, koni shocks and struts can help it handle very well.

[@brianj7787]

@@angelgjr1999 A stripped miata is 2k lbs, and independent rear. Ik the new mustangs are IRS but it's a totally different price range. The solid axle mustangs will always be at a handling disadvantage, that's why the Terminators got IRS

i still can't forget the first time driving my car after i turbo'd it. best feeling ever.
