To reduce shock loading on the entire drivetrain during shifting, I need to reduce engine power to almost nothing during gear changes. Like this. There is no visible RPM bounce after the clutch is out on this shift. And I run zero smoothing on my RPM trace (and almost every sensor really since that can mask problems).

Just driving and enjoying it. Since it is a street car, I want it to pass emissions all the time, so I'm working on making it do that with the turbo setup. Actually making very good progress but it's not finished.
I'll post a more substantial update once I've accomplished this emissions goal.

Also, the list of cars that pass emissions/OBDII codes all the time on there turbo miata is an extremely, extremely small list, and all of those setups are not able to make high power due to the limitations of their engine management. I'm going to fix this.

No ****. Put it this way then. If that flywheel is one particle heavier than it needs to be for trans health then the POTENTIAL shock load to the drive train will be greater with less than PERFECT rev matched shifts. And longer delay between shifts. The flywheel may be too light now for all I know. I ask. Ya'll maths it.
