No idea, I haven't gone back. There is one guy in a brand new slow *** Cayman S, who asked a bunch about my car. He mentioned that shop and said he was going to have them build and store a Miata for him. He called it, arrive and drive, that way he doesn't break his new porsh.
I told him they messed up my wiring harness and he was careful not to mention, the shop again.

Enough about those people!

I am going to look for an intake gasket so I can get these injectors tuned and spin my crappy tires off down the 1/4 mile in a week and a half and I'll be forced to get some better tires.

Sorry to hear of your dyno wows. In your shoes I would opt for a long looped wire for rpm pickup when dynoing.

Look forward to seeing you back at the track this year. I got a couple of 1/4 mile toys to play with too. :-)

Can we see the 230hp dyno?

No worries, I know how much power my car makes, "lots!" The dyno is in my timesheet thread, even a side by side comparison of the small and large MKTURBOs with a similar EBC tune. I make more power now. If those guys at that shop knew the slightest thing about a Miata, they would know there's an ignition connector right at the front of the motor. Ez pz.

Intake gasket should be available tomorrow morning, can't wait to see what you are racing. Are you going to run in gear jammers?

Nothing crazy. Just a couple of cool street cars that should do well in the 1/4 mile. I don't know much about classes so it's more about just getting out there to stretch the legs.

Sounds like fun. Gear jammers is manual transmission only, but manuals can run any class they want.

I now officially have the ability to empty a full tank in under 15 minutes. Car started right up, not sure I got the dead times right yet, just drove it out of the garage. Seems pretty good for just changing a few settings.

It is (long past) now obviously apparent to me that you and I did not spend enough time (and beer) together at MRLS this past year. To 2018 MRLS, and more time, and much more beer.

You are welcome to pit stop on the way down if you want to take 101. I know, I know, you take the 5.

The injectors are working well, my req fuel didn't turn out perfect but not bad either. Started and idles pretty well, kind of rich in boost though, made a few changes, getting there. Not too much noticeable difference other than the settings are a little off. Nothing like changing from my stock injectors to the small Flow Force ones. Just need to get it working right so I can fill it with e85.

The dead times are shockingly close to the 640. Shouldn't be a big surprise since it's the same valve. You are still running 60 psi right? Or did you drop down to 43.5 with the new pump and FPR setup? At 60 psi,13.2V the DT is 1.28, and the voltage correction is below.

Thanks Nigel, I wasn't sure if you had figured out the dead times for them yet or were hoping I would. I think I technically have around 3.5bar at idle, base is set to 60psi but I am vacuum referencing at idle, so I figured about 52psi. I think I was running 1.185 or something like that before so I just figured I'd bump it a little to start and put it at 1.3. I only drove it once so far, so I am not too certain about anything yet, but it runs good. Very nice fit too. You wouldn't have a dead time for 43.5psi would you? I have been calculating it as about half way between 3 and 4bar.

So you are suggesting that they are the same, I need to look at my previous tune and put my old dead times in. I think it's supposed to start raining here soon, can't do any tooning in the rain.

I am looking now, I will figure it out, I suck at math.

Ok, I am going to try 1.25 a 13.2v and 0.125 voltage correction for my approximation at my approximate fuel pressure

Those numbers are pretty close, just warmed up to put it in the garage. Nice and steady 14.7 with minimal EGO correction.

Nice!

Here's the 43.5 psi data. Super similar to the 640.

Dead time: 1.07
Correction:


aaaaand since you are on poverty MS2, voltage correction is 0.135 at 60 and .14 at 43.5

Ms2. Such welfare queen poverty bitchness. I mean, my goodness. Might as well be twirling a sandwich board outside Subway.

I mean, you all should know by now.
The driver of my car carries no cash... He's married.

But seriously, you shouldn't talk **** if you haven't seen where I live. I guess technically I am kinda house poor.

Besides... MS2 an all seasons 4 life!

I was gonna say: he makes a point to run the cheapest everything and run it until it gives up the ghost or is overwhelmed by a factor of 500%.

At first this frustrated me, but now I get it and think it's really amusing
