Yes Separate video on the turbo coolant and oil lines please. My Kraken kit is on order and I opted to get the kraken lines since it would be easier but have really been thinking about grabbing some flyin Miata ones too. Was there anything wrong with the Kraken line?
@@aafmirq777 Nothing wrong with them, they’re actually pretty decent lines. BUT the FM kit is just nicer. Has much nicer hose clamps, hose is made of 2 different materials, and comes with heat sleeving. The clamp I used on the kraken lines, since it’s so close to the turbine housing, actually ended up melting the lines a bit, and eventually caused a coolant leak. I spent like $15 more on the FM oil drain and coolant lines than I did the oil feed, oil drain, coolant lines, and drill bit + tap from Kraken. I’m still running their oil feed, no complaints about that. I just like the heat sleeving on the FM stuff.
Whatd you do my guy lol? Goodluck fixing it. My car is running now, got her idling, getting tuned late February! Hoping for 275-300 whp on stock 5 speed!
It's just one thing after another... Hope you are running some forgiving tires. If that's your weak point it could last a good bit. Im running 200TW tires, but will be going to something less sticky, if the tires are breaking loose, then I'm HOPING I won't grenade the tranny lol
I wish I would’ve known you needed head studs, Chrysler 2.2 arp studs are a direct upgrade from the Miata arp head studs. Also, FAB9Tuning has a stud kit that far superior to the arp variant.
I didn’t even really NEED head studs as my bottom end is still stock. I read that the factory head bolts are TTY, so they shouldn’t be reused. I actually had an order placed for the Fab9 kit, but after 3 weeks of waiting, they kept giving me the same answer, “we have some on the way”, that’s when I saw the ARP kit pop up so I snagged them.
So many ups and downs. Saw the latest video too. Sorry man. Can you share your process on how you cleaned your deck up in preparation for the new MLS? I'm prepping to slap mine together.
A lot of elbow grease. To get the majority of it off I use a razor blade, but hold it perpendicular to the surface. Then use some brake cleaner, maybe even followed by a bristle disc or a brass wire disc.
