But Saint_foo made 275/244 with a nice intake, big throttle body, 99 head "with work" and some different cams, should have been as close to paul's 300 as you can get. So you're results may vary.

Sure! You'll get $50 worth of parts per month in return.

I'm pretty sure if ed had better boost control (paul said it was tapering off) he would have been damn close to Paul's own numbers:

Hopefully we'll get Braineack down to TurboXS to tweak it. We only hit 13.9 lbs of boost. The Dynapack should put similar #s to the Dynojet.

I've got the Mazdaspeed intake cam from the Mazdaspeed Miata, purchased from 949Racing. Here's their snippet:
----
Factory Mazda intake cam

99-00 JDM Roadster & 04-05 Mazdaspeed Miata intake cam

Drops right into 99-00 BP4W head.

.349 lift
251 degrees duration
The 99-00 USDM intake cam is .326 lift and slightly less duration. Adding this cam will usually add 5-6hp to an otherwise stock 99-00 engine. Expect a bit more if you have a header, intake and exhaust. No before/after dyno charts available for this item.
----

Also, I'd like to install COPs and see if there's any RFI noise, bad grounding somewhere in my electrical. I'm hearing a faint bzzzz in my headrest speakers. Nothing glaringly evident, but could be affecting stuff I would think.

Once you're there, click on CARS, CURRENT, THE MACHINE III (RED 94)

That should give you a pretty good idea of what Paul's got in there now.

Ahhh, I've seen that site way before I joined mt.net!!!

According to the Machine III, at 14lbs of boost vs my 13.9lbs,

Paul put down 272whp/236tq
Ed (me) put down 275whp/244tq

So, very similar power levels at almost identical lbs of boost. Negligible if you factor the cars weren't dyno'd same day, same conditions (since he dyno'd 2 years prior).

If we get up to 15-16lbs of boost, it's possible I might be closer to Paul's #s. He put down 310whp/260tq at 17 lbs of boost (I think).

Oh, I didn't click on the overlay graph...my bad. Where did you get his plot? I was looking at the numbers he posted on his site.

Paul's 272rwhp was with the OEM intake mani and throttle body.

What were some of your guys AIT logs on the dyno? I run there 6 times now and have never seen my AITs go so high, so I'm wondering if they forgot to turn the cheap/shitty/weak fans on. I went from 60°F to 128°F at the end of one pull...I don't think I've seen that much on a 90°F day.


In case anyone cares...
I was checking my logs and it seems all my pulls were only 12psi, tapering down to 11.8-11.5psi at redline. On my 4th pull I flipped the MBC on, thought it was set closer to 14psi. oh well.

Point of reference, my dyno day was ~95*F ambient, my max IAT was 119F at 12 psi. There were at least 2 3' fans present at the front of the car.

BTW Brain, your recent work on some threads vis driveability has been valuable. This concerning the dyno thread: turning off the tps enrichment and the cold start thread: ASE tuning. I am pretty sure my recent loading up on the highway at cruise was caused by accel enrichment kicking in because the tps was not calibrated correctly, or is getting emf "noise." Getting power on the dyno is, IMHO, easy compared to tuning some of these finer point. The point of this ***-kissing is that I probably need help. More to come...

tuning fuel in boost is cake, it's all the other crap that takes finesse.

How do you flip on an MBC?

Lemme go get my laptop from my car and check AIT's for my pulls.

I use my EBC as a bypass. If it's powered then i send the boost through the MBC, if unpower I send boost straight to the actuator.

MAT's

Run 1 - 69 degrees up to 89
Run 2 - 71 degrees up to 97
Run 3 - 77 degrees up to 104
Run 4 - Forgot to log
Run 5 - 81 degrees up to 98

Last year
Run 3 - 73 degrees up to 96



Doesn't look like theres much difference from last time. I do know that the fans were on for my runs both dyno days.

Quick comparison:

My setup now vs Jan's (johndoe) setup a year ago. Both have 2560. Both have 94 blocks and stock 95/94 heads. He was running at 14.5 psi while mines at 14.0 psi.

I can't see your graph cause that site is blocked here at work. But I do have johndoe's vs my Absurdflow BEGI/FM tubular replacement mani & DP. I'm at 12psi on run 1, 13psi on run 5. Just to show you how cool I am posting dyno runs even though I didn't dyno on this dyno day.

i think my iats were doing ~60 to ~104. i think a bigger intercooler will be safer for my motor
