The big difference between Home Depot Racing spoilers and fancy carbon fiber wings is the downforce to drag ratio.

I would take an actual apr/singular wing over my spoiler and day of the week in a heartbeat. There is no argument that my spoiler is better. But for $30 you can't beat it.
|
Spoilers slow the air over the surfaces preceding them, reducing lift. Wings create down force or negative lift. They operate in very different ways.
|
Woah, woah, woah! Lets not turn this into a high level aerodynamics discussion, because nobody wants that.

So I got myself a few christmas presents.
1. Racing beat 1.125" sway bar with the brace blocks. http://i935.photobucket.com/albums/a....jpeg~original http://i935.photobucket.com/albums/a...m.jpg~original http://i935.photobucket.com/albums/a...p.jpg~original 2. 949 Racing Endlinks http://i935.photobucket.com/albums/a...5.jpg~original 3. Blackbird Fabworks GT3 roll bar. http://i935.photobucket.com/albums/a...e.jpg~original I actually went down to SoCal to pick everything up so I got the chance to meet Moti from blackbird and Dan and Sonny from 949 Racing. Super nice people. I could have talked for hours with Sonny about anything miata related. I also got try out the quaife sequential that was in taxi (Not driving just sitting still). I installed the sway bar and end links today and felt a massive difference in turn in response as well as some reduced body roll. I dint take any pics because its been done 1.3 billion times before. Roll bar installation will be soon. |
The 949 Racing end links are BALLER! They are by far the nicest and easiest I have ever used on a miata.

So when I was installing the sway bar I had to remove one of the intercooler couplers. And I saw this....
http://i935.photobucket.com/albums/a...4.jpg~original That is more than a spoon full to put it in perspective. The turbo is relatively new so I have a hard time believing it is the seals. It COULD be that the turbo needs a oil restrictor but nobody else has this issue with the efr turbos so I'm shitting my pants right now. :bang: |
Efrs have built in restrictors. Check the drain line for kinds or blockage.
|
Check @Ryan_G 's build thread for the same problem on a EFR.
|
How big is your oil drain line? I have found that the 8AN minimum recommendation is not adequate. It needs to be at least 10AN or 5/8".
|
Tell him about using a threaded fitting in the drain hole. Do you have any pictures from the analysis they did talking about the fitting?
|
He has a TSE kit. Which uses a flange fitting and 10AN lines.

Paging Savington. |
Well, that's probably not the problem then. Just seemed like a good thing to check.
|
Do you have shaft play?
