Pics of ring and pinion

3.636!!!! Hmm supposed to be 43 teeth right?

OK so this is why gaskets are good to use on your stud-type manifold.

FWIW you can see the two EGT sensors on the bottom of the manifold

How does your transmission handles ? Boost levels? I love big turbos.

I greatly abused my 6 speed transmission when stock and then at 200whp levels and it has held up just fine! If it dies over 400whp then I'll get a mazdaspeed miata transmission. The one in my girlfriend's car shifts superbly.

LMAO shitty.

faeflora · 02-28-2010, 08:53 AM

Man bullshit when buying used parts never ends. I should have just bought the new gear from mazdacomp. :*(

**curly** · 02-28-2010, 01:23 PM

Yup, got yourself a 3.909 set right thar. Unless that pinion doesn't mate with that ring, hopefully you bought them as a set.

faeflora · 03-01-2010, 04:07 PM

OK so the Australian seller is going to send me the 3.6. Uggghhh

I may not have my own car ready for the dyno day I'm organizing :(

***Braineack*** · 03-01-2010, 04:27 PM

ring teeth / pinion teeth = ratio.

I count 11 pinion teeth and 43 ring gear teeth = 3.909

stranges12712 · 03-01-2010, 06:57 PM

This is probably a retarded question that i think i can answer myself but i have 4.10s right now if i wanted 3.9s i can just swap out the ring and pinion? Willing to sell those

faeflora · 03-01-2010, 09:28 PM

Yes but it is a very fiddly and technical process.

I like your persistence after multiple drawbacks and failures. Hopefully my build would have less headaches, but I doubt it.

saboteur · 03-04-2010, 04:33 AM

Surprised no one commented when you uploaded pics of your ring.

Wrenching is both pretty easy and pretty hard. I've never really worked on anything mechanical before so I don't know a lot of tricks and don't have the mechanical "sensitivity" the more seasoned enthusiasts possesses. I mean, I've also done stuff like drive off without tightening my lugnuts many times, leaving the oil fill cap off, chasing "vacuum leaks" which were caused by my throttle being improperly adjusted and hanging open etc..
