LOL @ Piggy Link. You need to address engine management or you'll be building another motor.

Sure. With a Hydra. Incidentally, do you need a cookie or something?

the second method is more work, but more fun. i chat up negs on-line who want to bareback with other negs, i say, 'i tested neg 1 month ago. i think because i only top, i've always tested neg'. if they want, i tell them i'll pull out before shooting. i never do. there's loads of guys into being fucked by a guy in bike leathers and crash helmet, so i do them like that the first time, then i get more intimate, smiling, and kissing passionately. i make sure i **** them at least 5 times, then i stay in touch with them to see how they get on. i've done about 20 guys using this method over the years, and i've only failed once. when they tell me they've tested poz i say, 'o god! how did that happen? do you think i should get tested too?' thank god for chat rooms. they can't see how much i'm smiling.

the third method is the most dangerous and the hottest. i had a biker mate, and for a while we'd go round together using the above 2 methods. one nite we couldn't find anyone so we rode up to hamstead heath, London's cruising area. we wandered about till we saw a cute young asian guy. he was a bit drunk, i think it was his first time on the heath. we smiled, said hello, and led him to a quite part of the heath. i started kissing him while my mate pulled down his pants. then my mate pinned him to the ground, and using just spit for lube, raped his ***. i held him down and pushed his face into the mud to stop him screaming. when my mate finished it was my turn. after we'd finished we both pissed on him and told him we both had hiv. we left him there, sobbing, soaked in ****, with our poz loads in his ----. i still get a hard on thinking about it.
I think I'm falling in love with Hustler!

I remember the factory spec calling for anything between 135 and 192 being within spec for a 1.6 as long as the spread isn't more than 20 points. Must look weird to me because at this altitude I've never seen a 1.6 pull more than about 185 for a factory stock motor.

There are two schools of thinking for newbie behavioral modification. One school tends to ignore their remarks/questions, and hope the problem will solve itself or go away. The other school tends to beat the newbie into submission until they learn that there "IS" in fact a search function, and the car "HAS" been around for around 20 years so they are not special in their question.

That being said, this board is pretty much entirely of the second school of thought and will most likely not change. You personally can maintain your ideals and stay quiet, but attempting to change our collective attitude will result in epic fail.

It puzzles you because you have seventeen posts and you clearly spend nearly no time here. This is not a polite forum. There are a lot of very intelligent people who read on these boards and post regularly. We've discussed a myriad of topics, and every single discussion is accessible through the search function. In addition, the best discussions and ideas are summed up and put into the useful posts section. I turboed my car using information entirely from the search function on this site and the Useful Posts section, so I know for a fact that it's possible and damn easy to do. When new members come onto this site with 8 posts and completely ignore the search function and the hours of effort senior members have put into the FAQs and sticky topics, it's not only insulting, it's unbearably annoying. It clutters the forum with absolutely useless topics on the exact same thing: what turbo is good for the car, how do I turbo it, what ECU options are available, when all of those questions have been discussed so in-depth there are literally members building the ECUs themselves.

Saying nothing is like letting your dog **** on your couch; if you never scold it, it never knows what it did is wrong. We are incredibly harsh to new members who disrespect the forum and its older members by ignoring the information that is easily available to them because they either get the **** off the forum, in which case there is nothing lost, or they wise up and become contributing members. There are at least a dozen people here who will tell you about how they were flamed badly as a new member, and they all have a Subscriber logo and a thousand posts or more, and they contribute to the site on a daily basis.

I am the exact same person who mods Miata.net. That site caters to the folks who want a nice, friendly atmosphere in which to discuss the car. This site caters to a totally different audience; we are the hardcore DIYers, the people who pioneer things like the Toyota COP upgrade and Megasquirt as one of the prominent ECU options for the car. We have absolutely no tolerance for lazy newbies who expect us to hand-feed every bit of information to them. If you want to turbo your car, and join this community, you'll work for it, and you'll learn a shitload about your car and contribute to the site at the same time.

Tough love is practiced in spades at MiataTurbo. If you don't like it, this isn't the site for you.

Same gauge? My motor punched out 4 cylinders at 145-160 on one gauge, and 4 cylinders between 185-200 on another. With a properly-calibrated gauge, you want to see at least 180 across all 4 cylinders; if you don't know about the gauge, then the spread is what's more important.

Sav,

This should be a mandatory newb read! Well said.

There could be a standard informative response to newbs starting threads that have already been covered to death. One that points out their stupidity but also gives links to all the stickies that cover the common newb questions.

Of course there is something to say for baptism by fire. Weed out the weak right off the bat. I'm afraid if too many get run at the start that some good people and ideas will be missed in the future. That's why there was the shakeup and crackdown a few months ago.

This is my point.

Sav's post above was very good, but I think there is an argument that says to grow a community a collective needs to show some respect to individual posters regardless. Savington is very polite and helpful on miata.net yet swears at posters on this site - I know which Savington I prefer.

Individuals don't learn by being abused, but I accept this is a very good forum and has grown in spite of it.

Carry on

the moral of the story is that your original question was not very well thought out, does not really help anybody, and is so ambiguous that it can hardly even be answered. I believe this forum has grown so much because of this attitude, I get tired of organizations being so damn PC, its like a breath of fresh air to come on here. I think a good start would be to look at the work others have done and that works for them and figure out why they have done it that way. Look at the signatures that people have and do some searching to figure out what it all means, you might learn quite a bit. This forum has been awesome to be a part of and ive read through all of the stickied threads many times and frequently reference back to them because they are very helpful and have some dense info. (I cant say enough for the work braineack has done in writing them all up.)

Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

Respect is given where respect is due. I am extremely polite and totally willing to spend a lot of time with a newbie who does his research and has a cursory idea of what he's talking about. Examples are tough to find, but I'll try:

https://www.miataturbo.net/forum/t28987/
https://www.miataturbo.net/forum/t29354/

My counter-question is this: Do we grow a community of people who type like they're text messaging, couldn't find the search function on a map, and just want to get their answers and leave, or do we cater to the folks who want to really learn about their cars and are willing to do the legwork to gain the knowledge?

Miata.net is like Costco; this place is like a country club. If I had to deal with some of the asinine shitheaps that shop at Costco on a daily basis at my country club, I'd leave.
