Another Me Posting a Video of Myself Thread.
 
Tried to get a good video of how my turbo spools. 13psi, T3 Super 60 .48, tiny 1.6L engine.

mmmmmm boooooost!!!!!!



higher res: http://www.boostedmiata.com/videos/1_2_3_boostgauge.wmv



ps, there is no "lag" in 1st gear, i simply didn't press the throttle, when the boost kicks in is when i went 100%, and yes I have the log to prove it.

Can't be a ricer without non-functional gauges can I!!!

Ok Mister.

http://www.boostedmiata.com/videos/boost_overload.wmv




first clip illustrates how i make boost in each gear at lowish rpm (3k-5k in 1,2,3 3k-4k in 4th).

second clip is a third gear pull from 3k to 5.3k, when i hit 14.6psi and triggered my boost cut (still tuning my ebc). holding 13psi flat as of that pull.

third clip is a nothing special, trying a horribly ridiculous camera angle

I like your guage placement. Car looks pretty fun to drive too.

m2cupcar 06-17-2008 08:06 PM

more cams
 
we really need two more cameras - another one on the dash gauges (tach) and then one on the road... ok maybe three, another for the nose cam :D

Vewry nice, but that sure looks like a narrow band in the center gauge slot :giggle:

:noob:

a narrowband gauge yes, but one that refreshes at a surprisingly alarming rate and displays amazing accurate readings.

Braineack 06-17-2008 08:55 PM

oh oh oh, now i annotated the video.....even better!

Braineack 06-17-2008 08:58 PM

aw it only works if you watch form youtube....

mike_671 06-17-2008 09:50 PM

My boost takes longer then yours to spool and im only at 6psi!! Stupid Greddy downpipe

you want more awesome?

if that gauge has a separate signal ground you can do this:
(1/4W resistors)
(not responsible if you blow your junk up)

It will change the response characteristic of your gauge but it'll move more linearly and follow your WBO2.

I did this with my SplitSecond and it worked ok.

Does your meter have numbers on it?

Braineack 06-17-2008 10:08 PM

well it does, and it outputs pretty freaking fast, faster then a AEM refreshes, and no resistors are needed....since the lc-1 has a programmable output.

you guys gotta watch that last video within youtube and see my badass annotations.

there's a classic one in there.

spestis 06-18-2008 10:02 AM

Your setup comes on boost fast. I like it :)

Sounds like you also have the fucking annoying ass deceleration buzz that everyone else has and can't figure out how to get rid of.

miatas tend to make all sorts of crazy noises after a clutch job. you should hear my shit at idle. i believe its an issue of the alignment of the ppf after the installation.

mine makes a hilarious BOVish whoosh coming off the clutch sometimes after the ACT install.
