Powwwwwwer!!!!

Fuck, I just realized we didn't hang out fourth of july! :cry: Did you end up coming up to Seattle?

aidandj 07-09-2017 03:16 AM

Yeah but I didn't bring the Miata. Brought the dog instead.

Scaxx 07-09-2017 11:37 AM

Darn, maybe next time. Hopefully Katy and I'll be coming down to Oregon this summer, shit's been way busier than I predicted. Then again it always is.

Looks like torque went to infinity just after 5k rpm.

Spun tires on the dyno. duh.

kidding. lost tach right there. We tried another run and lost it in the same place. Will use an optical signal if we go back with e85.

Now that the big work is done, you can wash your car inside and out :) (not that Im one to talk)

aidandj 07-12-2017 10:15 AM

I've actually never cleaned the inside of the car. Coming up on 3.5yrs of ownership.

I'll try and work on it one of these evenings soon.

Spent a while on the phone with Mike from Southeast Power Systems. Good guy. Awesome understanding of turbo stuff.

We think my drain line is not sufficient. Its a 10AN hose with a straight 10AN fitting and a 45* 10AN fitting. But because a 10AN fitting has to fit inside a 10AN hose the ID is actually less than .5" on my fittings.

I'm going to have to spend some time under the car redesigning the oil drain, but hopefully can come up with something that works a little better. Thinking a flange with a straight tube that comes off the turbo, with a hose clamped rubber line. Then if I can swing it some sort of AN fitting on the drain. I'm thinking about getting some line to flare, and working with that. I could do a custom angle off the 10AN bung, and then bead roll the other end and slip a hose over.

Either way, its not hurting the turbo right now, so my track day on August 3rd is still on. Well see if I get to it by then.

Told him this at least a dozen times now.
But I forgive him for all of the filth because he's a man now, running man boost

Looking forward to seeing it in action! Will you be taking passengers on the 3rd? I'd love to ride along if you'd be willing.

aidandj 07-14-2017 11:25 AM

Sure. I'll be there instructing. Should be able to take you out for a few laps.
