It is safe to drill the sump as long as you grease the flutes of the drill bit and tap and also drop the oil and wash out with spirits not sure that was done though, That Wu Tang War Whistle sounds good though 👍
Awesome Awesome content! I think after the is200, get a bone stock mx5 and do everything yourself, a solid channel investment for cheap.. keep up the good vids dude
just use enough grease on the drill bit and on the tap. Also, you dont drain the oil until you made a hole in the sump. Also collected some shavings using my pinky and flushed the engine once again with oil. Did my one not long ago. Not too hard
I've just bought a rust free 50,000 miles from new mk2 1.6 that I would like to slam a turbo in it I've also got a mk1 S Special 1.6 with the lsd and lightened flywheel being a Japanese import. Well done on this one Lee I loved it.
thought they mentioned he bought a kit second hand, if it included the ECU it was most likely be tuned for the same engine by the previous owner. Still, retune it on a dyno to be entirely sure and safe.
@@Thatcressidaguy whilst that is what I would do, all the videos of people installing turbos on their MX5s they did it with the sump on but using a lot of grease using mineral oil to get the shavings.
Quality lee 👍 me mate used to have an mx5 and bought a supercharger kit for it witch the fella he bought it off used it to race, shame it never got built
I remember these guys coming to mine to collect the turbo kit. Cheapest kit for sale on the Marketplace. Didnt fit yours exactly how I had it fitted but glad to see it was fairly straight forward for you. Hopefully you haven't crashed or blown it up yet 👍👍
I want to turbocharge my MX5 but I don't have the budget for the turbo and for forged internals. And I am scared to death to install a turbo on a stock motor.
Turbo converted my corsa with the 1.8 engine, thing was a completely different car after that, not much can keep up with it from 0-100 lol low boost too .
just an FYI. there's a high pressure oil feed on the side of the 1.6 engines ready for your turbo oil feed :) fuck that leaky sandwich plate off and get an (i THINK) m10 x 1.5 fitting to whatever -AN youre running and supply your turbo that way. Its just on the side low down by the exhaust manifold :)
Hope he’s careful, seems like a good lad!
I was dead set on supercharging mine until i saw this. Now i'm not so sure, that sounds sick!!
It was mad!
Same with me :( not sure what to do might get the bofiracing turbo kit
Me and my mates done this on a friends car about 4 years back, was a long day but achieved a lot! Proper set up aswell with good parts
See you asked a question of what will create views and answer already with a view drawer 👍👌👏

i was thinkin the same but the oil still gets sent through the filter before it goes anywhere important so she should be ok haha
@@jackhooker3095 apart from the oil pump and turbo.
Absolute mad man. Theyre fun little cars that can handle a lot. Love mine to bits!
Ive got a mx5 based kit car with a turbo on. And its goes like hell fire.
lee. when its passed its IVA test youll have to do a brutally honest review of it.
Yes lockwood!! You asked, we answered, you delivered! Smashed it lad!👌
Miles better content than stuff out over the past 3 months lad. This is how you get views
Awesome Awesome content! I think after the is200, get a bone stock mx5 and do everything yourself, a solid channel investment for cheap.. keep up the good vids dude

Smashed it lockers. This is what weve been waiting for!!!
what about all the metal shavings in the sump from drilling the return :O
we had that covered don't worry
Just gonna send it 😂😂
One question. Won’t there be swarf and that in the sump from you drilling ?
This is ace, 3:50 in.
It's the blokes version of changing rooms mate. Get brews on haha
Silly question but is it safe to tap the sump while it’s still on the car? Thought it would put shavings into the engine
I was just about to comment this!!

Did my one not long ago. Not too hard
It's a special bit that pull's the metal out
David Bates ahh fair enough
2 videos in 2 days yes Lad

Well done on this one Lee I loved it.
This is the content we need!
I popped in whilst you were doing this!
Was at performance North West over the road popped in said hello
great video lad, love stuff like this x
your banging on it without a tune, full send i guess, and bouncing of the revs.
thought they mentioned he bought a kit second hand, if it included the ECU it was most likely be tuned for the same engine by the previous owner. Still, retune it on a dyno to be entirely sure and safe.
But he didn’t even take the sump off to put thread into ot

Leejk ahhhhh fair enough
@@leejk3926 thats not going to get all the shavings tho...seems half arsed to me.
Always take the sump off!
Quality lee 👍 me mate used to have an mx5 and bought a supercharger kit for it witch the fella he bought it off used it to race, shame it never got built
Class video Lee 🤙🤙
Absolutely love it !!! Got mk1 turbo myself by Chester, hope to see you out on some mx5 meets K 😂😂😆😆 absolutely love it !!!!!!!
I think everyone loves a turbo mx5!

Deffo
@@itsleelockwood just for peice of mind that the tune is safe, dose he know how much ignition timeing is in that map?
This is the content we want more of!

I mean who doesn’t enjoy abit of turbo mx5 great vid mate 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Loved the video
Nice video. We might turbo one of our mk indy chassis's soon. We run stock 1.8L mk2 engines , only a better intake and exhaust setup right now.
very nice, sounds mega
Love this, what turbo kit did he buy? Looking to turbo my mx5 too
I remember these guys coming to mine to collect the turbo kit.
Cheapest kit for sale on the Marketplace.
Didnt fit yours exactly how I had it fitted but glad to see it was fairly straight forward for you.
Hopefully you haven't crashed or blown it up yet 👍👍
Wow did you have this kit they put on? If so do you remember what turbo/kit it was?
@@camerongalbraith240 I assembled the kit myself
@@5H4K3Y ahhh nice
Great video 👏👍
no grease on the drill bit for the sump...risky shit
Defo need a car like that in your life mate! If you get one buy it stock and do it yourself though, would make for some sick content! 👌
Should do this to the Lexus love the videos bro
Wow I have seen this car drive around where I live a lot
He has got a tap....waters comes out of it
great job sorry where you get that car lift from please
I Really in enjoyed Watching the Amazing Turbocharging an MX5 in one day Good Content
Says the same thing every video, and on other tubers too. "really in enjoyed" wtf
remember to let the turbo cool down before turning off the car, thats a masterpiece!
Mx5 content 👌🏼
This is the stuff I like lee 😁
Top content bro 👍
What kit is this? Sounds crazy
Sounds sick! More videos of this! 👍
thats sick
More MX-5 turbo content!!! I'm building a kit cat (caterham style) that uses a MX-5 as a donor and I plan to turbo it 😍🔥
Did you have to load the base map first?
Was shocked when you turned up at that car meet in Burnley last weekend not gonna lie
Sick video mate, went pretty well for something you’re working on 😂
Made another fantastic car better. Testin the limits love it!
Mint content lee lad 😎👍
Did you get a stand-alone ECU for this?
Yesss mx5 content
Great video pal
Bro there's going to be metal shavings in the sump now haha
Nope 😂
@@itsleelockwood hope not haha, good vid bro
This video came out sick 👌🏻
I want to turbocharge my MX5 but I don't have the budget for the turbo and for forged internals. And I am scared to death to install a turbo on a stock motor.
This content right here👆🏼👌🏼
First question at the start... have yo I got a tap... yeah yeah I’ve got one... 5 min in... I’ve never had. A tap kit before
Turbo converted my corsa with the 1.8 engine, thing was a completely different car after that, not much can keep up with it from 0-100 lol low boost too .
Did you get it tuned for it before filming or how did you manage to drive it immediately?
Love it great video videos with you n jesse together so funny excited for this journey of this car
What did you do about the metal chips in the sump?
I noticed it was left in situ.
Sounds like a beast.
This is better content 👌🏼
Such a massive change can’t wait to start my Mx5 project now, you should uhh whack a turbo on the is200 😂
Wanna see more videos of this !
Got a 1990 Mk1 1.6 and always wanted more power.
But also, don't want to be scared of my own car! Maybe supercharge is a safer option..
That is mega. Love the turbo mx5s, I reckon I'd shit myself driving one though. Drove my mates 1.6 n/a mx5 recently and that was quick enough lol.
No way did he not take the sump off and clean the swarf after drilling it 🤣 looks sick send ittttt
Do you need a decompression plate and stronger internals, or can you just wack 10 pound of boost straight into it?
10psi is safe as it’s not that crazy in one of these it’s under 300bhp so it doesn’t need upgraded internals from what I have seen
More content with the mx5 lad, loved this.
damn man aint u scared of metal shavings in the pan but i also dont think it could pass the pickup but still i still enjoyed the vid man
Dont know much about cars but dont you supposed to map it after putting turbo on
Jesus love you it comes with an ECU.
sick!
Is there anywhere that sells these kits?
just an FYI. there's a high pressure oil feed on the side of the 1.6 engines ready for your turbo oil feed :) fuck that leaky sandwich plate off and get an (i THINK) m10 x 1.5 fitting to whatever -AN youre running and supply your turbo that way.

Whats the thing called that they use to lift up the car?
