Thanks guys. I still cant believe it.

I have been stockpiling parts for the past couple of months. I didn't make a post about it because I wanted to wait till I had everything before putting up on here. Now that I have a TSE block, I have no use for these. So I will put them up for sale in a bit. If anyone wats first dibs shoot me a pm. EVERYTHING IS BRAND NEW IN BOX.

Supertech 8.6:1 pistons




Weisco Rings



Manley rods




ARP Main Studs


All of the above Items are for sale. What you see below is what I am keeping for the new motor.

I got this supermiata crank damper forever ago. Its used, obviously, but I paid a fair price for it. This was also the time when 949 stopped making them and I didn't want to pay 500 for an ATI damper; so I promptly started searching for one and this is the only one I could find. Not sure what the brown residue is. It hard, like sap.



I am also test dummy #2 for Nigel. He stopped by like last week and dropped these off. My plan is to run these on the stock motor to make sure they are ok (I am sure they will be), and then drop them in the built motor once its ready to go in.

 

Use the spares to build a very expensive statue in honor of the boost gods for goodluck.

I finally got the 3" installed last night....




THE SPOOL! THE POWER! HOLY ****!

I had issues with hitting overboost. I had to drop my bias duty from 65 to 40%. All good now.

I still cant get over how awesome it is. It spools so much faster. And note to self, don't do pulls in the rain. It spun in 4th rolling on power.

I attached a log. Any recommendations are welcomed.

Oh, and it sounds perfect. 10/10.

Eliminating the stock midpipe and cat is what really makes the biggest difference.

Ours made similar numbers (not quite as good, your setup obviously runs awesome).

I take back what I questioned now Ive experienced it myself.

Dann

 

huh?

 

From a while ago. People in here were really arrogant and I was arrogant back. Found out that they were right. It was probably deleted.

Dann

 

I still have no idea what you are talking about. Mabe quote a post?

 

We are arrogant about EFR's being superior. He finally agreed and is now arrogant like us

 

We didn't back to back the EFR but I our car did make 450 wheel on similar boost pressure.

Dann, are you sure this is the right thread? George is still on his stock block at like 170kpa, we need to add fuel to his tune before he has some detonation.

 

Yea I think you are in the wrong thread.

 

Im a moron.

it was savs build thread not this one.

FML

Delete away.

 

We missed you though! Welcome back!

 

he's talking about this: https://www.miataturbo.net/dynos-tim...3/#post1462832

not deleted. post 113 and on

 

Internals are sold. Thanks guys.

I got a DWR1000 FPR that I got off someone on here. this thing should be plenty for my`power goals. Not looking forward to installing it tho. I hate fuel.




I also picked up a VVT head with only 22k on it for a steal. This will be going off to the machine shop tomorrow to get tanked/decked. When it comes back it will be getting supertech heavy double valve springs.


The VVT torx screws came out SOOOOO easy. Love it.

I also opened the box of Timken hubs that I ordered and did not like what I saw. The back of the hub flanges are machined.......****. Back to amazon they go.



It has also just occurred to me that I never said anything about why I was at TSE when the whole motor thing happened. Well this is part of it..


I picked up ELBJs, Poly bushings, and oil impregnated sleeves for stictionless range of motion. these will be going in soon. Things are happening

 

Those are some mighty fine looking bearings you got there.

They look very familiar...



I will stop by Saturday after my race in San Jose to help with the install.

 

are those sadfab bearings?

 

No. They are a set from a batch Andrew had made. Same concept though.
