'96 Miata - Variable-Vane Turbo
#29
Ah true, thanks for pointing that out. Thought I had already for some reason.
I'm over in Pullman Wa, pretty much the middle of no where. Some more Miatas would be nice, once all the students leave for the summer the only vehicles in town are trucks and that one dude who rides his horse to Walmart/Safeway.

Not yet, I've been slammed with finishing finals and moving. One of the hood latch bolts worked its way out and the hood opened up on the highway at 60, so definitely need a new one.
I also resurfaced the exhaust manifold and turbo since there was a small exhaust leak.
But I'll get it on the dyno very soon, it's just about ready!

I think tech is probably cleaning off his keyboard after trolling this thread from the depths of ban land.
This is actually really cool. I def don't have the ***** to deal with a product like this. I'll take a chance on something new and cool but this turbo is a bit out of my comfort zone. Subbed.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the input!
I'll explain how to control the boost on this thing.
The boost controller regulates maximum pressure, and boost response.
If you look at the photos from earlier of the turbo there's a vacuum line that runs from the compressor outlet to the boost controller. The boost controller works by a simple spring and diaphragm system to move a push rod, which adjusts the vanes on the hot side. By using different spring tensions and washers (as shims to fine tune) you can change the maximum pressure that the turbo produces by controlling how soon the vanes are pushed completely open. The barb fitting on the boost controller also acts as an adjustment **** for boost response, if you want a slower response you can tighten the fitting into the boost controller housing, pre compressing the spring, making boost buid more gradually.
Right no I am running a 10 lb spring with a couple washers to adjust for pressure loss across the intercooler and tubing.
Hopefully I covered most of it, let me know if something doesn't make sense.
