What makes you say I cheaped out on my build? I've done everything but build/replace the motor. -1

I never said you went cheap on your "build", bc everyone knows here you spent a lot of time and money trying to be like the 1.8 guys. But you did cheap out on not starting with a 1.8 like a lot of people. Anyways, I know 230whp/230wtq@4300rmp is a very good accomplishment for a 1.6 turbo.

Anyways, sorry if offended you by calling you a cheap Jew.

lol. I didn't know any better back then, i did have an impassioned admin that wanted to save me from my own misery.

:laugh: I actually knew from the get-go that he meant no offense, but it was so much fun watching you get butthurt about it anyways

Braineack 03-20-2013 12:55 PM

I don't think Philip wanted to save anyone from misery.

The miata community was onto something big, but decided to keep it a secret. Science caught up.

Scientists Report First Cure Of HIV In A Child, Say It's A Game-Changer : Shots - Health News : NPR

I believe the child was functionally cured from HIV, however, there could still be minute amounts of the virus that went undetected. Until further research, the child isn't 100% completely cured but, it does give mankind some hope.

As for MT.net, the only cure for AIDS is a 1.8 turbo.

Brain, are you still running the T3 super 60 and BEGI cast manifold? On a 93 1.6?

Jim

Braineack 03-20-2013 09:20 PM

no a 50 trim chinacharger t3 on the same manifold. I'm making 240/240 at around 14psi

viperormiata 03-20-2013 09:29 PM

This thread is stupid and so are all of you! I'm never coming back to this thread again, ever!

Ok, I have to ask....you complain bitterly about how crappy the 1.6 is but you've run a fairly large 300hp capable turbo that spools poorly on a 1.6 now you're running a slightly smaller churbo which is also a poor choice for spool. Why not run a turbonetics T3 40 or 45 trim if you want to stick with your manifold? either of those would spool significantly better than what your running and should make the same power your running.

You're blaming your motor for not performing to your expectations but you're hampering it with a poor choice in turbo.

Jim, this post is undeserving of a responce.

Ban hammer strikes again lololol

I was gonna warn him too, but he's a really stubborn old man, and probably wouldn't have listened.

Braineack 03-21-2013 09:53 AM

especially after I would have told him my 1.6L performs VERY well for a 1.6L and outspools most others on this site with much smaller turbos, even BB turbos...

thenuge26 03-21-2013 10:29 AM

C'mon Brain, after 2 pages of talking about how cheap you are, why don't you just buy a $700 turbo? Surely that will solve all your problems.

Better yet why not just get an EFR? Sure it's more than twice the cost of a 1.8L upgrade, but who care about logic?

Braineack 03-21-2013 10:32 AM

why a EFR, they are comparable to a GT2871.

18psi 03-21-2013 10:33 AM

Same person that would enjoy a m45+1.6

Braineack 03-21-2013 10:39 AM

I do need to buy an auto intake cam one of these days.

Took long enough. Don't think anyone else on the board is more annoying and less helpful
