Im thinking 10.15psi which is red/green

that begi reroute is so different from the m-tuned I have. What did it cost you to put together

 

Lol the only part I bought from them for the re-route was the t-stat adapter. I got the Cadillac hose, and Kia water neck on my own.

This is what it looked like before I sanded/ painted it...



And after...

 

I'm amazed the spacer isn't leaking. You must have gotten lucky :-p

Wednesday won't work by the way, I got a few things to do by the weekend with family.

 

No worries! I have it mostly figured out... Just gotta get this coolant temp sensor figured out and get MS set up... Base timing set, and all that stuff

I just put the Red/Green springs in the WG so hopefully thats what I should have in there lol

 

Took it for a short drive maybe only 1/2 mile up the road. I just wanted to bring it up to temp to check for leaks and whatnot. Omg it sounds amazing!!! Tried to stay out of boost because I have to get it tuned... God I can't wait to actually drive this thing!!!

 

tach is good?

how can you post this and not share a sound/video clip?

 

I just ran to radio shack and grabbed the resistors... No sound clip yet. I will have one from the next drive

 

Please install a knock sensor if you haven't already. T_T

 

Haven't yet... I'm gonna look into that.

I'm stopping back at work tomorrow on my day off to do a few more things.... I'll have to do a short gopro vid

 

Congrats. The desire to go into boost is so strong those first couple drives...

 

Sooo had to stop by work tonight to get drill bits for a "Honey Do" project... I couldnt resist turning the key while I was there.

Guess what.... HLA Noise Just... Stopped. It was there for a split second and then went away 100%... I'm not complaining, Motor sounds mint now.

 

Also... Do I have to seal the flanges on the turbo? I just have them bolted straight onto the turbo... no gasket or sealant used

 

manifold or inlet?

it's drawing vacuum, it's pat of lease resistance is probably the big gaping hole behind the filter, so it's probably fine.

I didn't use a gasket on the exhaust manifold. Havent had a problem and no banshee screaming under load. Well, that was back when it ran.

 

I just meant these flanges actually bolted onto the turbo... There is a 3 bolt flange for the intercooler and 2 bolt flange for the inlet

 

Dont those normally come with orings? I would RTV those if not.

 

Mine didn't unfortunately... I'll have to seal them up

 

So I have a tune lined up for Tuesday but I'm having second thoughts... It's a local guy who was recommend to me by a couple guys on my local Miata fb. Apparently he has tuned a few megasquirt miatas. Would I be better off having you guys walk me through tuning this thing myself or should I fork over the $200 have him help me tune it and show me the ins and outs of MS...

Can I get a decent tune on it myself by setting my target afr table up an let ve analyze do the work?

 

Get your Afr table setup and do a week or so of auto tuning before going to the dyno. Its super easy. Plus it will mean less money spent on the dyno.

I've been told by many that you really should only utilize the dyno to get your timing map setup properly. Mostly everything else you can do yourself, and you'll have a better tune running auto tune as much as possible.
