What's the point in turbocharging a miata if you can't run 72psi, amirite?

Might as well run a t25 at 6psi

He can stack the quick spool valves on top of each other, and controll them with pppowercards for ultimate spool. I'm thinking 25psi at idle

I'm not. That would make too much sense and be much more cost effective/ reliable.

lol a v8 from a corvette is how much boss? YOu've pulled that motor dosen times by now and replaced as many transmissions.


I mean a v8 swap will be easy, you've already cut the frame rails and made plenty of clearance no?

Fae does not have a garage or time to do work himself. Hence why he needs to outsource the work. He is to busy trying to be a rock star.

He needs to part/sell and just buy a bone stock car that's already fast and reliable.
Like a c6z. Otherwise just

d-d-d-d-d-deal with it

and keep wrenching on "project never runs"

Or give me a large handful of cash. I get him off his artech setups, and possibly away from his Hydra. If I can get a truck to use, his car will be getting towed down to my place this weekend.

Went over my major wiring.

Had a little issue with my hot cable at the alternator. someone forgot to bolt it down and it melted

voltage is ok now at a shitty 12-13v but afr still takes a big ****.

messed with the fuel map and it started to look like a fixed pressure (no rrfpr) map...

i have two pumps and each one is enough to flow for like 500hp. both have their own sock. each has their own filter. i don't think that is the problem.

the fact that its inconsistent makes me think aeromotive is fuxked so i'm gonna swap it out tomrorow pending amazon
