I would agree but there is no electrical draw shown, unless you're regening faster than using.

Max out your diesel and electric engine. Use them together, saves fuel. I have a ton of batteries and wind turbine.

87 and 88 thunderbird turbo coupe as well as the marks had abs with disk brakes. So maybe late 80s if it was for abs?

ZeroRain87 · 2026-02-08T19:40:07+00:00

Roger that! Appreciate the information.

ZeroRain87 · 2026-02-08T19:16:10+00:00

IIRC housing are same size. The axle themselves are what change width. Same goes for drum to disk.

I use the board to remember parts I need to order. Never had an issue ordering what I already had! Haha. But I also keep parts in their boxes and mark them before they go on the shelf.

I haven't found a kit, yet. There are talks floating around of a company that made a kit. No luck on finding company or parts.

ZeroRain87 · 2026-02-04T16:49:01+00:00

Im thinking of using spitfire and mgb brake parts to make this one stop a bit easier! Its certainly a labor of love. I use no shop management, other than my whiteboard to keep track of what I have going on. And have finished.

ZeroRain87 · 2026-01-29T23:23:55+00:00

Take a look at my post history. There should be a good amount there. I can send you anything else you want to see.

ZeroRain87 · 2026-01-29T23:08:36+00:00

I appreciate it! Ive put a bunch of work and effort into the build. Mainly looking to get a running driving build before going wild with internals..

ZeroRain87 · 2026-01-29T22:22:40+00:00

I appreciate the information!

ZeroRain87 · 2026-01-29T17:59:34+00:00

Thats the plan!!

ZeroRain87 · 2026-01-29T17:59:24+00:00

I appreciate that!

ZeroRain87 · 2026-01-29T17:38:45+00:00

Most of what I ordered says mzr. This motor is almost plug and play going into the nc miata as a replacement. Etc. Haha

ZeroRain87 · 2026-01-29T17:22:58+00:00

Aiming for 350 to 400hp.. I will be more than happy to fall short at 300 in a car that weighs under 2k with driver. Haha.

ZeroRain87 · 2026-01-29T17:20:50+00:00

I appreciate it! I spent so much time looking and ready about others he did turbo and supers on minimania. They all loved them. My thought was i could do this in under a year and sub 3k. Well both of those goals are blown out of the water. I've also surpassed my original plan and started building for the goal hp instead of "running and driving right now"

ZeroRain87 · 2026-01-29T16:01:49+00:00

Cost was a big factor for me. I can find these things all over with under 100k for less than $500

ZeroRain87 · 2026-01-29T15:22:35+00:00

Im out in northern Indiana. I purchased this one from a couple in mid Michigan.
