The Miata Gets BOOSTED With A China Turbo And BLOWS Its Radiator 

We need to see what power it makes, it was at about 70% injector duty if I remeber correctly so the wastegate having one bolt holding it on probably saved it 😂

Nice! TD04L turbine?

BOFI Racing something like that 😉

Maybe a dumb qyestion but can you still use your dipstick and why would you use it as a drain?

@@SybePlays Yep, still a functional dipstick and using it as a drain saves having to drill into the sump and risk shavings getting in the pan.

We paid £110 for the turbo, £645 for the manifold and downpipe. DIYEFI sent us the ECU, then we used our own oil & water lines and an O2 sensor. Robbed the intercooler and pipework from other projects, which retails around £320 so probably £1600 all in

That's a serious step up in terms of turbo

port the wastegate. I had to do the same on my Borg Warner S1BG Turbo. It would hit 1.2bar (17psi) with the wastegate open. After a lot of porting it now works fine and I absolutely love that turbo. Running 17psi now, but with electronic boost control on my stock 1.6NB making about 230whp

@@mielsen7498 i had the same issues as Vyizis with my ebay td04, i ported the wastegate as much as possible and even shaved some off the channel that the exhaust gasses come from in the mail port and still creep issues... all i did was buy a used genuine exhaust housing and problem solved.

All we have done is burnouts with it so far. We will put it on the dyno and see how long it lives

my ebay td04 has lasted a year at 10psi and still going strong, had to source a genuine exhaust housing though because the casting on the ebay one was shocking and was boost creeping like a motherfucker...

Jason Walker The Second I picked out all the parts separately. $100 eBay cast iron log manifold is what I put on mine

Nice! Get an intercooler on that and it'll be way better straight away

@@BOFIRacingTV would a piggy back cope with the change? Sorry total noob to piggy back ecus

No wasn't just you. Exactly what I was thinking

When it restarted it definitely was 🤣

just drill it and weld a bung

We can't wait to see what it makes on the dyno

That's what she said.

Plenty of supercharger content to come!

Thank you! 😊

Thanks Phil. We've drilled plenty of sumps but this time round I didn't measure it carefully enough and nearly paid the price. Closer to the front there is absolutely acres of space and it wouldn't have been an issue at all. Only concern with the dip stick drain is ensuring there is enough of a fall on drain hose to prevent the turbo getting backed up. I'll look into the thrust bearing, have you got any more info?

Just reread about it being a junction at the block. Good idea if we machined a fitting that kept the dipstick at the right level

@@BOFIRacingTV all you have to do is make sure you service your car (tune up) but looking at this video and the way you treat your cars..no surprise that a hole in the sump is the best idea for you

It's letting us know it's living its life to its fullest

This turbo is just a cheap eBay one, not a nice genuine MHI TD04

@@BOFIRacingTV I thought so but that sounds pretty misleading.
