yeah thats right there is probs some dust or wheel peace's under the valves.

got the front turbo off and almost got the rear one off just some pain in the ass water and oil pipes to get off then its out.

must be hard semi striping the motor whilst its in the bay? easier to take the motor out or no?

yeah, i think it's near on impossible to take the head off while it's in the car. next step is going to be to take the motor out. there's plenty of ceramic dust and ceramic pieces in the motor.

removing an rb26 head only is not impossible, ive done it before with turbos still attached to the head

everything possible, glad u found the problem, whats ur plans for it now? rebuild time or drop another standard motor in with new turbos?

    • Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.
    • Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true

    • Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
