Well I finally decided to start messing with my Mirage. It was hard spending that first dollar but started to feel alright after a few Gs :D .

Started with a Mock up engine. Got a Rev hard cast manifold. Turbo is a Precision, 3567H. Its only a guess because I picked up the turbo second hand and the other owner just called it a T4. I took some measurements and compared it to turbos listed on the Precision site.

Now I had an old Venum manifold that was really bent out of shape and been welded a few times from Nitrous backfires. Plenum looked pretty shabby so I cut it off and added a new Plenum from Ross Machine Racing, and Q45 Throttle body flange.

Clears the booster real well and should be alot stronger than the original. I'll have more pics after I weld it up and heat coat it.

I tried the JMF, it didnt clear very well. This way seems like it was meant to be in the Mirage.

Hondas are a tight fit for two walbros also. Thinking about doing it this way, they have bracket, drop both in, then bolt them back onto the top. Pretty slick setup.

Well I need to assemble the block, which I still havent got my machine work done and I need an intercooler and fuel system. Im not in a big hurry right now because its still real hot in Vegas but I hope to have it running by December.
