Turbo Kit Update: Kraken MX5

[@kurtt6102]

Great job. This is the type of content people are interested in. I have a Kraken low mount with a GT2554R. Running 8psi @ 216whp with a MS2 on stock bottom end. Heat management using vented hood, larger aluminum radiator with dual fans, oil cooler, coolant reroute, mishimoto intercooler and 180 themostat. No heat problems on 95 degree track days.

[@saadarif907]

Those are some solid numbers at 8psi 👍🏼 I'm also going to start working on installing my Kraken low mount GT2554R 🎉

[@BigBenlolz]

I have all this except the vented hood and my car can't keep cool under 90k/h. Bled the system 3 times already.

[@superbea2001]

I'm putting a top mount 2560r kraken kit on my 01 in a bit here and your video helped a ton in making sure I bought all the supplemental parts I'm gonna need. Keep up the good work!

[@sharp_cheddar0319]

Nice work! Napp did a recent turbo kit comparison video and also seemed pretty happy with the Kraken kit.

[@TheMiataGarage]

I can’t recommend it enough, super high quality

[@teddy0776]

amazing content keep it up!

[@teddy0776]

also love ur miata

[@sjorsangevare]

You just gained your self another sub! I'm getting really itchy to install this turbo kit now but I'm just not ready yet to spend the money :P

[@madgainz7871]

when youtube algo wins. great video and also great install video too. really informative and interesting.

[@nappyrat]

great rundown on everything, good to see from a local houston area enthusiast as well. I have the exact same kit that i'm about to install on my NB2. just got my standalone running recently so ready to make the dive soon.

[@trickiestjet1079]

Doing some pretty good numbers for your first vid on the channel

[@fireonmytarget8937]

Great vid, will watch everything on your channel now. Saving to turbo my NB around Oct for my bday hopefully. Bought a bunch of supporting stuff already (cooling upgrade, supermiata clutch/flywheel, MS3 ecu, wheels/tires, brakes etc). For brakes I went with the g-loc pads from super miata + new OEM style rotors + supermiata brake lines, I like them so far.

[@mr.adventure559]

Good work.

[@Heyzeus350]

Amazing! This makes me more prepare for my kraken install. Have a low mount on a 1.6 (lol). Thanks!

[@paezracingtexas8301]

Great video!

[@mastercricket7626]

Rad bro , always good to see a felow boosted miata brotha ... i went stupid forged engine ect and push 30psi on a gtx3071r gen 2 😅 its a lil extreme tbh but they are sooo sooo much fun ... i love how clean your build is brotha and its stance is minty fresh 😅... peace and love bro keep it rad stay safe and build on l8z fam and always have fun... ps get you a good set of oil catch cans one for each side .. port the air ways in the valve cover and have atleast one on a suction to pre turbo so it helps pull the pressure out ... maybe that help and deff a aftermarket damper will gi e a lil peace of mind lol l8z fam

[@BoostedNDMiata]

Nice video. Especially since I have the fully forged engine for Kraken kit with a BW EFR 6758 going on my 1990 NA with a 1.8. Hopefully will be together by spring.

[@TheMiataGarage]

Nice man, I’m building a forged 1.8 rn

[@dannyvk5867]

Boy you're about to push me over the edge 😆

[@ZareefHuq]

I’m picking up a low mount Kraken kit and I’m in the DFW area as well! Would love to meet and check out your car. I have a burgundy 2000 SE if you’ve ever seen it driving around

[@TheMiataGarage]

When I go back to get it re tunned I’ll post on my instagram

[@QuincyStick]

When you're building the motor, definitely add a reroute. They're relatively inexpensive and help A LOT. Even if you dont need it, you will be glad to have the peace of mind. It's WAY harder to do with the engine in, so do it while you've got it out.

[@jordan7290]

For brakes, just do a sport brake kit upgrade. Had the wilwoods and they’re not very good, and they would eat away at the rotors. What I’ve done and worked very well with multiple track days in the summer heat, sport brake upgrade: air brake ducting: and some high temp 660 brake fluid

[@jordan7290]

Oh and wilwood bias tool is actually really helpful

[@chuck889]

I like the stance - would like to see more and it in action would love 240hp

[@atotalpro]

Do you have more details on the "cutting out" issue you are having? Im chasing a cutting out issue on my turbo NB1 as well.

[@Jimmydoinstuff]

Fire review i will be doing the same kit next year on my 2000 nb after i finish my Land rover and karmann ghia builds i checked your channel tho where is the install vid?

[@TheMiataGarage]

Its on my other Chanel, @PaezRacingTexas, I switched to this channel for my car videos.

[@shaxei7116]

Thinking of using this same kit and turbo for my vvt swap for my na6, is your engine built or not to make 220 wheel?

[@TheMiataGarage]

Stock engine

[@slyonme]

if you get blowby..get yourself the oil catch can

[@TheMiataGarage]

The oil is getting by the rings, I’ve already had it diaged, working on a forged motor

[@Mattman-mb2vj]

You never talked about the heat management. Please lead me to a road on the heat management my Same build fucking hear soaks like crazy.

[@TheMiataGarage]

Sorry it took me so long to reply lol, I have Flyin Miata's downpipe heat sheild, and intake box. I also opted for the gold foil tape and their crossflow radiator/hoses. I drove the car this summer in Texas with no issue. The coolant re-routes are super popular but for my build it did not seem necessary.

[@sharp_cheddar0319]

Also, can you elaborate on your heat management mods? Turbo blanket or heat shield (I’ll be using FM’s shield)? DIY intake air box?

[@TheMiataGarage]

I did the FM intake box, downpipe heat shield, FM cross flow radiator and silicone hoses. No re route yet, it used to overheat in the summer on the stock rad, it’s a must to get the cross flow.

[@josh5758]

How much did everything cost?

[@TheMiataGarage]

The kit was about 3k, but I’ve spent about 5 on the motor setup in total

[@Aaron31424]

How many miles are on the engine? Just curious since you mention blow by. I am about to do the same turbo kit on my 97 but I only have 58k miles.

[@TheMiataGarage]

140k

[@geopouros]

Didn't you mentioned the engine was 1.6 in a previous video you made? bp4 as i recall

[@TheMiataGarage]

No the engine is a 1.8 Bp4w

[@ayyy-kf6sz]

does ur car smell a bit cause of the lack of cat? also, hows the oil consumption and miles?

[@TheMiataGarage]

No it’s mainly the oil smell, pretty bad not cause of the kit but my motor has lots of miles

[@cookiegaming6598]

What happened to the install video?

[@TheMiataGarage]

It’s on my other channel PaezRacingTexas, I switched to this channel for all the car videos, the other one is more of racing go karts. I’m working on transferring the car videos to this channel.

[@johnnygeorgopoulos4072]

Sitting here looking for your other videos after hearing you read off the comments....am I missing something? You only have this video 🤔😅

[@TheMiataGarage]

It’s on my other channel, sorry about all this confusion, I switched to make only car videos on this channel, it’s linked in the description of this video

[@icydrip7406]

Daddy’s money

[@TheMiataGarage]

But I’m daddy

[@samulis8275]

B+ ? You have no idea good Kraken is compared to other kits. Yours sincerely, BEGI 2560R kit
