seriously wtf?

Edit- I have brought balance to the universe. I "fixed" it.

 

I think there's still a glitch in the matrix, two negcats make a poscat for me. Two poscats makes nocats though, so someone must just be an *******.

 

Those are local only. If one person poscats twice it's a nocat. If 2 people poscat it's 2 poscats.

 

I dialed up the WG a little, to spike at 14psi, this happened immediately





One of my cowoerker lost my shift **** on the way to the powder coaters. I bet its on someones honda now. So I made a better one, its probably a half pound heavier than the old one.



SADfab BBK brackets! I went with 11" setup because the 11.5" is over 3lbs more unsprung weight per corner, and I hope I wont need the thermal capacity.

 

Damn I still need some 11" brackets for winter wheels.

 

 

spike to 20psi and put clamps on your nipples teehee

waiting for my ******* cops!!!! ebay, got 4 D585s for $30 shipped, with the LSX bracket and mini harness.... in due time. That cap had a ziptie, it either failed, or wasnt tight enough.

Hey Ryan. In another thread you mentioned sending something for our site. We're you referencing SADFab.com? Would you mind if I put it up there? Crediting you with the design of course.

 

I was going to ask, but forgot. @ryansmoneypit

 

Sure thing ! Put it out there.

 

So I made one of those things by hand, which was a total PITA. I then modified it for 1.6 fitment, which required slotting 3 of the 5 holes and removing a chunk for the PCV. It would be pretty easy to make a 1 fits all valve covers.



I used 16ga SS and torched it to make it all gay rainbow for aidan.



I got 4 used GM coils from a truck, on the bracket with the harness and plug wire for $30, shipped, from ebay.





Heres the harness after i unraveled the cloth tape.



I unraveled it and oragami-ed it in a different way and made it fit pretty dam well with no cutting.



I kept my old igniter that had a fried tach circuit, and used that as a jumper box. It was full of robot jizz.


(I left the good igniter on the radiator, and now its on the freeway somewhere)

I removed the coil side plug wire contacts from the truck wires and re-crimped them onto trimmed miata wires.








Started right up and runs great. It wasnt $18.50, but the total investment was about $35.36.

Did a clutch interlock delete, finally.


Test fit oil cooler,. It will be close.






thanks again for the cad ryan!

 

That came out great. Me want.

 

That's awesome man! As a disclaimer, it does fit the pcv on a 1.8. Let me know what you trimmed or changed to fit that, and I can mod the drawing. Maybe have a one if it's all, or car specific.

 

looks nice...
any tips for getting coils that cheap. Everything I see on Ebay is twice that without harness or wires

 

Luck.

 

I just searched ebay for "4.8 coils" or "4.8 coil pack", sort used, then price low to high and it was the first option for $40 or best offer from a wrecker in the midwest. I offered $30.

The seller almost immediately doubled the price, lol.

Also forgot to mention my tach isnt working. I made a tach circuit in MS, but apparently its not working.

 

I just offered $40 from the same guy. I'll let you know if he takes it.. Thanks

 

Initial spool report.

And should I install a restrictor on the wastegate? Notice all the EBC induced noise on the map and resulting injector DC/PW.

12psi by 3175rpm right before the wastegate opens, and 16psi by 3500rpm, but the wastegate started opening at 3200. 5th gear pull.
