^yessir!
|
Every time someone else gets ID1Ks, Aidan dies a little inside. It makes me laugh.
|
Does he want them really badly?
I've already asked him for his shipping address. |
Sean is just being an ass. I want them badly but don't want to pay for them. It's a common problem I run into.
|
Ill give you his address and paypal info to send an invoice, BRB.
I must ask, maybe you covered already, why thuper over trubo? |

He wants something that is proven to be track reliable. In kit form. Easy to install.

I didn't really address it specifically, but, I am very interested in keeping a high level of reliability on and off the track, and low level of fixing shit. I might try the trackspeed turbo kit when it's been completed, and has stood the test of time. Like in a few years.
I will be more than satisfied with double my horsepower, and a car that pulls harder and harder all the way to redline with immediate throttle response, and no mid corner boost/throttle control issues. I've also never owned a supercharged car, but I have done a turbo build. Plus, I went with the c30-90, which I could still use if/when I build the engine, and max out the rotrex >400whp |
I wouldn't hold off on the TSE kit. Use their Inconel studs and you should have 0 issue with those hotside parts.
|
He has a serious talent for breaking things. He drives 10/10, flat out, every single day.
So when he asked about the brotrex, I actually didn't steer him away from it. |
What does "US-Spec" on the OS Giken mean? Surprised to see that. Hope it doesn't mean we get something inferior.

You are dead to me. |
go track your car repeatedly driving 10/10 and holla back gurll
i'll be right here with a shoulder to cry on |
Lol you guys make me laugh. I feel so much love!
|
I can dig it. My first track day boosted will be nothing more than an exercise in thermal management vs gravity vs ....something.
|
Yeah, I want to eliminate all the variables except alignment, tire pressure, and driver by the time I get to the track. I'm sure something will pop up, but I'm just looking forward to pushing myself and the car, and finally getting my almost r comps up to temp, lol.
I've never got them higher than 118 degrees, camber seems fine for aggressive driving. |

Well, they apparently finally finished their instructions. Take many pics! I will be watching this closely.

Yet another part has arrived... just in case the 105mm pulley isn't enough boost... 95mm is close to maxing out the blower...
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1461719567 |
Thanks for the PM. Now I am even more confused. I have been driven in two different TDR Rotrex cars. The bracket is what they finished first a looong time ago. They had multiple ones sitting on the shelf 1.5 years ago...
|
Haha, well, maybe this will help... I wasted 3400 dollars on a kraftwerks rotrex kit.... more like 1400, since I'm only using the actual supercharger (which usually sells around 2000 new)
I'm using the TDR supercharger bracket, TDR intercooler, TDR rotrex oil cooler kit... |
Oh ok. I really like the way they set-up the rotrex oil cooler. Do you have brake ducts run yet? I always wondered if they would work together...
I really want them to finish the engine oil cooler in a similar set-up on the passenger side! As long as it doesn't interfere with brake ducts of course... |
No, I don't have brake ducting.
|
I'm kinda curious about why you're switching radiators. Does the fmic not fit with the 949 rad?
|
^TDR, nor 949 knew the fitment of the TDR intercooler piping with the Supermiata radiator, so I bought the TDR one just in case :)
|
CSF needs to come out with their radiator with the built-in oil cooler already.

Maybe that is why it has been delayed forever :dunno:
|
not sure what you meant about the csf? coming out?
I just ordered the larger rotrex oil cooler, and the beefier TDR bracket. |
flyin miata wanted 33 dollars for 4 spark plugs?!?!? fuck off.

^interesting...
So I've talked to Gary at Track Dog Racing for a really long time about my setup. He seems convinced that my rods and pistons are in danger even at 220whp... And with the C30-94, I should limit my rpm significantly. Like 6000rpm should be my redline kind of limiting. This doesn't really jive with what a lot of people on this site have been saying, that 250wtq is the max "safe" working limit for the rods/pistons. Could his much lower limits be due to using inferior fuel cards, or poor engine management? |

I have not seen such incompetence even from the "other" TDR (tuning done rong). |

You - will I pop my engine?
MT - likely not. You - but some dude somewhere said I will MT - likely not. You - but I heard in a PBS documentary that I could MT - likely not. You - will smaller pulley be beneficial? MT - likely not. You - I'll go ahead and get one for no reason anyway, is that a good plan? MT - likely not. You - okay I just bought a buttload of parts and won't need 75% of them. was that smart? MT - likely not. ILU <3 :) ps: updated thread title. |

Daddy got a package today...
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1461886132 Hard Dog Hard Core M2 Roll Bah (hopefully) fits the rear soft top glass and under a hard top! Its not as glamorous, but I left the wrapping on for paint protection. Pictured is the high density foam "padding" just draped over the bar. This feels like hard plastic, and has barely any give... I also got a leather cover for the top bar, but it is too small. My guess is they sent the leather cover that works for the roll bar that is 1 1/4 tubing, and the hard core bars are 1 3/4. |

(with Deezum 18psi and Aidens help...)
Just a small update, I finally got around to cutting a spring to size to fit in the catch cans I'm making... Taken from Deezums Catch Can thread... I'm using the Husky compressor air/water separator from Home Depot. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1461982793 I bought an assorted spring package also at Home Depot, and looked through it until I found a suitable spring. This is a picture of the order after you disassemble the catch can (reservoir not shown) https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1461982793 This is the uncut spring, and the cut length spring in the assembly order (clear reservoir also not shown) https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1461982793 This is how I reassembled everything, after a few different methods, I settled on squeezing the allen wrench between my naked Italian thighs, and balancing the stuff on it... https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1461982793 Then you lower the reservoir down (after inserting the black valve thing into it) onto the rest of the assembly and tighten down. This method was much easier than fiddling around and getting nowhere... https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1461982793 hope this helps someone... |

Just an engine bay shot, I installed a TDR heat shield, kind of cockeyed, I couldn't pull it down any farther. Functional tho.
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1462122936 |
Keep up the good work!
|
Functional as you monitored temps and it really goes down?
|
When I start logging again I'll have a better idea of actual numbers.
I know its just anecdotal, but, for example, the intake box would get quite hot, and the valve cover would burn instantly to the touch. Now I can hold my hand on the intake box without discomfort, and I can accidentally touch the valve cover, even for a two seconds, and not get burned. Oh, also, the oil cap would get super freaking hot. I had to wear thick gloves just to add oil. Now I can remove the oil cap bare handed. Its honestly remarkable how crappy of a job the oem unit does. Also, it took 50 minutes of driving for frost to melt off my hood yesterday morning, if that helps. I would think one of the only downsides to the exhaust blanket over the oem heat shielding is the windshield wiper fluid would not be as helpful in removing ice layers because it wouldn't get hot like it did before |
I don't think you were supposed to shove that metal rod there, or at least not share pics of it on the interwebz

Hehe, I can't help but shove my rod places...
Sending my transmission to RO Motersports, Installing OS Giken, changing ring and pinion to 3.63 (different speed sensor too) sending my XIDAs to Inertia Labs for a warranty(hopefully) rebuild, changing springrates to 800/500, adding the billet coaxial top mounts!!!! finally. Here's a speed/rpm photo for comparison in a month... https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1462307614 |
well, i have now seen what my fat cells look like...
goin pretty damn fast on my roadbike, on a route I've ridden every day for the past few months, wasn't paying attention until it was too late... someone placed a sign in a crosswalk, so i turned a bit to avoid it, but went to a section of road that has a big chunk missing... i didn't bunny hop high enough, and my rear wheel slammed into the edge of the road... sent me flying... :'( Got some good road rash, scraped through to the fat cells through my clothing. I don't even want to look at my bike. pretty messed up. |
Pics or it didn't happen.
|
haha ok one sec
WARNING BLOODY STUFF... DON'T SCROLL DOWN IF YOU ARE QUEASY!!! |

I wasn't sure what the white centers were, in the deeper scrapes, and webMD was saying it is the layer of fat cells? Its definitely not bone, because I was poking it a bit.
