i live on the edge.

well today I finished all the immediate work I planned.
http://s95367906.onlinehome.us/photo...d/DSC_0697.jpg

- LS2/Truck coils installed, with cave-man 22 gauge sheet-metal bracket. It's crude but very strong
- Coils wired in full sequential
- Injector wiring re-did. No more Injector Dynamics clip thingys. Wired everything straight in
- Changed the CAS pigtail. Old one had a crack in the wire insulation, exposing wires. Most likely cause of sync errors I was having.
- Catch can installed. Sausage line team reporting in!
- Changed valve cover gasket because old one was leaking

Hope I didn't forget anything.

So my turbo no longer has a turbine wheel.

Yep, it's not there.
I'm going to get drunk now.

:eek5:

HOLY *******************

Can't wait to see what the haters/lovers/fanbois are going to say.

Good luck man

car still drives great :rofl:
just N/A and burns oil on acceleration. Compressor wheel spins freely and has a tiny bit of play.

The failure was very uneventful, too. Just POOF and no boost. There was a bit of the rattle in the exhaust (turbine wheel making it's way out :rofl:) for the next like 50 miles (I had plans after autox) but I guess it found it's way out.

It didnt get stuck in the muffler?

Hey Fae, how about them borgwarners bro? :giggle:

*

I drove like 70 miles since it fell off. I could hear it ratting around, finding it's way out of the exhaust. I checked the muffler and it's not there.

Wouldn't be surprised if it punctured someone's tires :giggle:

Does the exhaust note sound weird?

Sounds, drives, acts like N/A. Gonna contact Full Race about replacement, because that's an epic fail defect.

I wonder if warranty is transferable, because you did buy the turbo second hand.

Yep he bought it from me. I gave him the original receipt and it is still like two weeks until a year passes. I couldn't locate the warranty sheet though, which would have the details about transferring. I can't imagine that he won't be given a replacement. It was clearly a defect if he just made 320 whp on the dyno, and completed a track day and some autox. Hopefully full race steps up and does the right thing.

i say that fail, in technical terms

SCUSK MYT FUKKKN DICK

video of fail

You speak English well for a bear on a unicycle.

I'm here to steal yer jewb.

I could listen to you talk all day long lover boy.

:makeout: I'll start a hotline. 1-800-sexy-efr

Called Full Race. Talked to one of their very sleepy guys (8:30AM in Phoenix). Sent them picture & video. Awaiting response.

I'm sure the the last thing they wanted to hear on monday morning is an unbreakable $1500 turbo breaking (that's still on warranty).

Quote from a guy who drive my car at autox
"Vette" is a Lingenfelter C6 Z06

Boss status: achieved:D

If you need to get further up the full race food chain, ask to talk to Raffi. He's super helpful and thats who I always spoke to.

Which one? They go from 600hp to 800 hp

I was talking about you dude.
Getting praise from a LingenVette owner is not frequent.:makeout:

leonid, do you always wear those neon sandals when working on your car?

Oh I know. It's funny, if you actually buy the right parts, car turns out great. If you cheapen out and buy 3rd world parts (*cough* koni sport), it sucks :jerkit:

I think 700whp. I THINK. Something stupid like 285 Pilot Cup tires in rear :rofl:

Yes I do. I should have bought 3 pairs - they don't come in this color anymore. Orange is pretty much the best color ever.

Full-Race says they will have an RMA for me tomorrow.
However, the turbo won't arrive until mid-august

Options
free:
- Run N/A (no thanks, would rather park it)
- Install old T25 hotside (would need inconel studs and BOV at least...)

not-free:
- Buy a used EFR6258 -or- try to find it in stock somewhere
- Buy a EFR6758 (are these easier to find?)
- Use my Airwerks S246 that I have sitting here. It's T4 flange and 4.31" v-band outlet with no wastegate
- ????

Any option pretty much really SUCKS.

If I can find an EFR 6258 in stock that's not part of the "sorry we didn't follow the recipe" batch, I'll buy it. And as long as it's not too retardedly overpriced.

I am bummed out as fuсk. I wanted to drive my car all summer, not jerk around.

I thought that the whole point of building a fast heavily modified turbo car was to have shiit break and then jerk around?

if so, you want to lend me your hotside? you can still jerk around with your transmission.

perfect idea.

his transmission isn't coming out til end of july, and the new one won't go in til september.

and since you're not retarded, you'll actually get it dyno'd. WIN

What makes you so optimistic?

I'm guessing because bitching about it won't get him his replacement any sooner.

So here's the plan. I'm going to spend the next couple of days using my KGB connections scouting for an EFR6258 or possibly a 6758. If it doesn't happen (i.e. 99% chance) I'll install my old setup.

If anyone has any sources let me know. I has money. I already sent Savington a PM, maybe he can hook me up <3

I hate that begi 2pc retarded bolt downpipe. I won't have inconel studs. I won't track it. But ---- it's better than running N/A.

No, I meant you in regards to Fae's timetable.



Soviet, I hope things work out for you.

oh lol:laugh:

Leo,

I was going to say PM Sav but you're on the ball already.

is the mani/turbo/dp the only thing you'll need to swap to run the other setup? that's not too bad in that case. anything is faster than an n/a miata lol

Welp my new setup is likely not track worthy

and

my old setup has a garrett turbo. which means you will track it 5 times and the CHRA will blow up.


i do have 4 10mm incolnel studs in my garage

I'll need to swap the whole thing, minus maybe the intercooler. T25 doesn't have an integrated BOV.

I need boost or to get laid. I seriously can't take this anymore. Going home to my 24-pack. Thanks.

beer? you are hereby disowned by Mother Russia. Vodka or bust

my friend suggestion Option Z)
Sell T25 kit
Sell 1.6 engine sitting in garage
Sell old MS2
Sell complete 99 head sitting in garage
Sell other misc ---- lying around

Buy motorcycle. Profit until September.

The only issue I see with that is the fact that it's the worst time of the year to get a bike.

Organ donor = fail

yes because our 300whp miatas are SAFE :party:

how many times have you wrecked? i've wrecked 1 2 3 4 5 6 times? zero in recent times though.

nyways

now do your wrecking on a bike.

ftfy

I had both. The bike is 4x more likely to kill you. No joke. Idiots swerving into your lane, cutting you off, tailgating you, etc etc etc.

As much as I wanna say "get a bike", I can't. I sold mine after a co-workers husband got brought home as a bag of bones

I drive a Ford F250. Possibly the safest car I could find. Safe for just me of course.

If you do give up on it... I will find a way to buy the kit minus Turbo and buy a 6758 for built vvt ssm pwnage.... drooling a little.

Savington killed any hope I had of getting another EFR 6258.
So I'll put on my le old T25 kit back on and casually drive the car.

I'll still be on a lookout for another EFR from private parties/ebay but as it stands they are impossible to find. So I'll be driving the ole' journal bearing POS until mid-August (or more realistically, October. because that's how estimates usually work out)

I have a new 6258 that I'd be ok to part with. As things stand, its going to be awhile before I can get my car turboed.

Bryce I'll be your personal servant for a month if this goes through.

Bryce now all you need is some vodka and you're going to score.

in for comrade-docking

BTW: since my work computer only has shitty IE which doesn't resize, your pictures are sodomizing my screen. :vash:

the forum software should resize pics automatically...at least after they fully load.

I'm stuck on IE7 at work, and the pictures resize just fine for me. Not until after they load, but they do resize eventually. Once in a while some topic will go beyond the edge of my screen a little, but mostly they work fine.
