diy "turbo no hit block" '00 BP miata
 
26 Attachment(s)
Noticed I've never open a topic of my car...
short story here:

December 2013
miata is too slow, even if it's 1.8l
200.000+ km engine
saw mcm "how to turbo", they make it very easy
let's find out!

what I thought:
I want quick spool and low threshold, let's take an .35 turbine with .33 compressor!
why don't leave oem exhaust? it's turbo, exhaust line is less important than a NA engine!
wanna stay under 10psi, the i/c is only a good upgrade, but not necessary
dunno what a flow chart is

result:

After that I began to read, I found the faq, I bought the corki bell's "maximum boost" and when my ideas began to be a little bit clearer (3 months later) I admitted that all that work was crap. Really crap.


Now the true diy project

I started my new project on april 2014

my new goals:
high boost threshold due to 10:1 CR
reason: reduce egt when non in boost, expecially because I ran LPG, less torque in boost but good power.
low boost, around 8 psi
compressor: high efficiency at high revs (4500 rpm and more)
I chose a chrubo based on GT2860R
manifold: studied for high speed gases, begi S4 shoud work for me.
expected power around 200-250 bhp

First two days I setted the pressure to 4 psi: Funny to drive, but nothing else.
On the third day I setted the pressure to 9 psi (almost my goal) and the car was perfect!! As I wanted :friday:
2 problems:
first - oem injectors (cleaned and rebuilded) 100% opened to reach 12.5:1 afr at 5.500 rpm and 13.6:1 on the redline.
Back to 7 psi: 11:1 on maximum boost all the way till the redline. All you can pretend with oem injection system.
second - let me use an onomatopoeism for better understanding of the problem:

I know it can be done better, but it's my first job, be patient...

Now boost threshold is 2.600 rpm, but I can reach 7 psi at 3.500 rpm
don't have spool data, I will write here soon.

well that went pretty much as expected

thanks for taking pics though, that was entertaining :)

You're gonna want to support that feed line before it breaks and causes a fire

acedeuce802 07-05-2014 02:46 PM

I would also take off the wrap on the manifold. It will trap more heat inside. The manifold is already prone to failure, may as well not expedite that.

The only difference I've noticed was cruise egt temp rised up from 400-450°C to 550°C
on maximum boost I've seen no changes: 650°C (very low afr)
are this manifold so crap?

turbofan 07-05-2014 04:20 PM

Nope. Not crap. Top quality. Obviously, that's why it is so super cheap.

Wait a minute....

He's asking what standalone ECU you're using to control the car to go along with the turbo setup you've pieced together so you don't immediately blow your motor again.

now I'm using the emanage blue (very low afr, -10° at maximum boost)
since I don't have a det-can the advance must be conservative, right?
I'm building one: when it's finished I put some photos here, and maybe a video if my gopro wants to record

very clear :giggle:

I'm thinking to put an ms2 pnp from diyautotune, but I'm a little bit scared: I have to remap the entire range of the engine: vacuum, boost, idle, cold start, hot start, advance vs water temp, advance vs knock sensor and many other maps
I know that autotune helps a lot, but dunno if I can :ugh:

I'll bet you I have put less time into tuning my MS3 than you have put into swapping out blown engines due to your lack of engine management.

18psi 07-07-2014 12:42 PM

you realize they come with basemaps right?

krissetsfire 07-07-2014 03:08 PM

I've read though this thread a few times and I've almost posted every time. I have a love hate with it. He is doing some pretty impressive work with some pretty shitty parts. I'm not gonna lie. I want to see it go through its entire life cycle out of curiosity. We need weekly inspections with comments on miles driven & what not.

Having a proper ecu is pretty much mandatory with Turbo. It makes everything sooo much easier. Especially when your bandiads start failing and you have to troubleshoot that crap.

Also when I saw the DIY manifold I was like right on. Then you went rogue on us and ebayed it. That original manifold you made was probably fine just needed to be cleaned up a bit.

Sparetire 07-07-2014 03:26 PM

OP, you are moving along a steep learning curve pretty well IMHO.

The funny thing is that a proper standalone ECU solution is often less difficult to work with than 'bandaid' or 'aids' solutions that simply fool the stock ECU.

My last project was far more difficult and frustrating with an SAFC based management setup than it was a programmable ECU that was very similar to the MS stuff. Plus that would let you get rid of the AFM, which is not doing you any favors.

Glad to see that you are now opening up the exhaust, as it is actually far more important for a turbocharged vehicles overall performance than most NA applications.

Leafy 07-07-2014 03:58 PM

I wish the op just stuck with the log manifold, its better than the ebay one. But based on the discoloration I bet it just needs a quick shave at the machine shop to make it flat again.

Perhaps, but the MCM guys did use some engine management... even tried to use a Megasquirt but the one the bought on EBay didn't work right, so ended up using something else... they didn't try to run ALLOFIT on the stock ECU :giggle:

They used haltech because austrailia.

As much as I shit on haltech in the past I'd choose them over aem in a heartbeat because one day we couldnt get the formula car to run on e85. It was 4am and we had a race we needed to leave for in 2 hours and we called the australian number (Home HQ) for haltech and that ausie was cool as fucking shit and got us going in time. Nicest car part CS guy ever.

I have to admit that you've convinced me
ms2 is now my next step
only... the pnp for 98-00 BP seems to have different connector... I think the problem is that my car is eudm vs diyautotune's usdm
however, nothing earth-shattering.

Btw
the car is really doing her job, ran 1000 miles (it's my daily car), zero traction issues (except in 1st gear) and nice spool, but in cruise water temp continue to rise, over 100°C.
I thought the problem was i/c too low respect water radiator
so I tried to resolve with a pvc sheet:

yesterday I tried it and...
it works!!
cruise temp is now 80°C, and in boost rises maximum at 90°C

I removed the charcoal canister and fixed that horrible upper water line too

that was made a second time, but the problem was stainless pipes on a mild steel flange... different coefficient of thermal expansion :dunno:

MS3 from Reverant, since he's in Athens I think he can handle the difference between usdm and eudm.

the fact is... I wanna build it myself!
the diypnp from autotune is only for usdm
so
I was thinking:
-buy ms2 kit from autotune, upgrade it for the miata NB and eudm connector from Italy and create my version of ms2
-buy a diy kit for eudm from reverant (dunno if he sell kits)

I have to wait until I have 30 messages to send PM, right?

HOLY FUCKING SHIT BALLS ON A TITTY SPARKLER. Reverant makes his own professional plug and play megasquirts that are not at all related to DIY autotune and he lives in fucking greece so hopefully he knows how to build one for an EUDM wired car considering he only makes them for miatas and lives in fucking greece and drives a miata with one of his ecus in it.

We just want you to not have to deal with a lot of frustration of dealing with a company on a different continent. I know all the guys at DIY, been buying stuff from them for 7+ years, and I would still say to go with a MS from Reverant because he is relatively local to you, and probably knows the most about installing MS on eurospec miata's.

780racer 07-15-2014 03:55 PM

Get your MS3 basic from Rev.... Seriously. It comes with base maps, and a guy that seriously is Duke Nukem in real life.

mlev 07-15-2014 07:19 PM

You may not know this, but there's a guy on here named Reverant who makes Megasquirts for the Miata. You should consider getting your MS from Reverant.

----

Ok, seriously though, i started with an MS2E I got on here used for $500 from reverant, and I was so amazingly impressed with the ease of installation and the support he gave me (even though I hadn't given him a penny) that I sold it and bought a brand new MS3 Basic from him simply to support him and his business.

He sent me an email asking me about a dozen questions on what EXACTLY my setup was, and when I got my MS I plugged it and fired up my car.

DNA54 07-23-2014 01:00 PM

my next step MUST be rev ms2 pnp
but now I can't afford that cost because I've just buy rx8 injectors, a present for my mother, I've broken the pcv, an old friend came in from out of town! someone stole my car! there was an earthquake! a terrible flood! locusts! IT WASN'T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD!!!

now the injectors runs maximum at 39% at maximum boost (7 psi)
waiting for sequential bov to raise pressure to 10 psi :yippee:

tomorrow I would make an o2 clamp

stay tuned

didn't know it was an increment % :facepalm:

hks ssqv (I think it's a fake) obviously tested for leaks

now boost pressure is 10+ psi (0.7 bar)
:skid:
Dunno how, but I can reach maximum boost on first gear with that chrubo, really impressed!
whell... It's time to set the spark advance :giggle:
maybe I will post a video soon

now is enough, I will fix that

Leafy 08-19-2014 01:52 PM

what are we looking at? That almost looks like the compressor outlet pipe, but that means the pipe with what looks like the IAT sensor in it is going to the compressor inlet, which is wrong wrong wrong.

We're looking at a popped-off charge hose.

Need to put a bead on that tube or it'll keep slipping off. At least rough it up.

Also: What Leafy said.

Why the o2 clamp?

I know that, but it's the oem sensor, which is impossible to seal against boost pressure.
When I can buy rev ms2 first step must be gm iat sensor with bung right before throttle body and obviously afm removal, but until that I have to read wrong intake temperature (hotter than real)...

I'm running an emanage blue: increment is %, and when I am on boost and low tps and rev, the oem ecu is still on closed loop, trying to reach 14.7 afr.
Also I am running LPG, and this particular O2 clamp do three things:
when on gasoline is a simple O2 clamp (1.1 bar absolute pressure and 2 seconds delay before return real O2 signal) setted to 0.45V
when on LPG a bypass on afm mod. is active (420cc rx8 injectors required afm modification) and when in boost automatically switches to gasoline activating the O2 clamp too and removing afm bypass

yess! Finally I found a workshop with bead tool: he can do it on friday :naughty:

compression test today:
cold engine: I couldn't warm up because intake line is at the workshop
wot
without spark plugs, ignition and injection connectors disconnected
very strange results

27 bar average (390 psi) :eek5:

pic related:

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1408614569

cyl n°1 is 5
cyl n°2 is 6
and so on

after first check battery was low, crank was lower and readings too
but... I've read about 200 psi for a new 1.8 engine: this is almost double pressure!

Leafy 08-21-2014 07:14 AM

I think you did something wrong.

Put it right past the intercooler (or in the endtank), in airflow. If you put it in the engine bay, it'll heat soak.

I will do that when I fix this:

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1409138107

broken chain, I had to drop the car down manually :doh:

Btw

result: 11 psi till the redline :jerkit:

with previous setup 0-60 was 4.9s, now I am curious ^^

after waste signal mod: couldn't do a good start because of the wheel spin on first gear


this sunday this little miata will see the track for the first time after turbo aid ^^

this little miata is still running very well, but it's time for some cheap improvement:
1.3 bar radiator cap

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1411230093

set of ??? grommets (dunno the name in english)

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1411230093

to do this (thx acedeuce802):

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1411230093


and, last but not least... I have enough money for the rev ms2!! :brain:

but I don't have my tune driver anymore... he is in canada for a mounth :giggle:


Oh, and I'm preparing an ebc with an ALLOFIT button for 12 psi, I hope it will reduce the boost threshold

http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/...ps1d3934db.jpg

aaand it's time for a cold air induction, precisely a filter box

worst problem is: I have no time for this hobby :dunno:

DNA54 09-21-2014 01:42 PM

turbo started to whistle when in high boost (10+psi)
I checked for leaks, but all seems right
when I checked for shaft play, I notice a little play, around 0.5-1mm (0.019-0.04 inches)
Is it normal? I don't remember that when I installed it...
