                  congrats guys!!! love the catchcan they work good and they are inexpensive, mine was exactly the same

                  great great project

                  also i might add, why are people afriad of camshafts + turbo? ... cause on my miata i used hks 264 camshafts after i boosted my car and gained around 16whp ? car was also wayyyyyy faster at the track because the powerband was where i needed it to be and it also built boost quickerwhere i needed it to be

                  no one ever got anywhere doing things by the book how everyone says and not learning things yourself

                  take some more vids!

                    I still have the cam if you want it back man. Just name your price since I bought it off you anyway.

                        WORD! I forgot about BP26 cams from a GTX BP or GTR BP cams work in a Miata.

                          A garrett t25 has a t25/28 flange, not a t3. It may look like a t3, but it's not as large.
                          In fact here are the bolt dimensions, for a t25/28 flange:
                          73mm bolt center to bolt center for the long, 40mm for the short.
                          They did put t25's on stock 2 liter nissans (the sr20det 16 valve engine) set at 7psi to make a 140 hp engine put out 206hp.
                          They also did some t28's set to 9psi to make the 140 hp engine put out 227hp.
                          97 Aspire w/K03 turbocharged b6 SOHC
                          CoolingMist Varicool II Meth injection

                            cant take everyones word for everything all the time. u have been misinformed.

                            a crazy and i mean CRAZZZYYYYYYYY N/A cam is NOT a good idea for a turbo setup, obs because of duration/lift issues + valve overlap as eveyrone else here has said.

                            howevverrr a mild cam upgrade is going to help you your cars going to make good boost have a better power band and my afr's were slightly richer (i dont know why) AND make MOREEEEEE power.

                            chances are if you can use the upgraded cam without upgrading every last peice of your valvetrain, your going to be okay.

                            now that being said, i dont have any cam sheets so i cant compare the stock cam to the FMS cam, but chances are its not that drastic of a difference
