The ducting is awesome! I'm running with mat 15 over ambient (35+ celsius) and coolant 85 cruising and 95 driving hard... never be so cold, even this winter!
Only big difference is the undertray, it's the first time I installed one. C6 coils are arrived with pigtails, just bought the spark wires too https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1467398898 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1467398898 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1467398898 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1467398898 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1467398898 |

I think I must stop here, until I can take a set of ID1000 |

VD done on pure LPG, without any gasoline injection. Consider that before 4000 the clutch slipped a little bit, but in my opinion it's a great result!

This week I opened the engine, everything was fine, no signs of det on the pistons, just very dirty because of the supertech rings
Crankshaft was balanced with pulley, flywheel and clutch. Rod bearings are good, but the mains have to be changed with std ones oil pump machined to accomodate billet gears Attachment 183572 Detailing made by a friend (thanks again!!) Attachment 183573 Attachment 183574 time to open the engine! Notice the dark inside of the intake manifold... too much overlap! I have to reduce it. Attachment 183575 Attachment 183576 rod bearings Attachment 183577 Attachment 183578 going to the machine shop Attachment 183579 done! Attachment 183580 the reason why mains are to be changed Attachment 183581 and why the rod bearings are good Attachment 183582 pistons before cleaning Attachment 183583 almost cleaned Attachment 183584 Gutting the intake for the skunk2 Attachment 183585 Attachment 183586 http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/...pssw2rst56.jpg ARP bolts arrives next week, around 2-3 hours to close the engine and I can begin the break-in! :party: |

:likecat: for the ventilated pan on the left... :D

the ventilated pan needs moar baffles :party:

I don't think so :giggle:
high boost actuator on the way, let's see what 32psi feels like |

What's the point of a built engine if you don't make over 400 whp? :drool:
|
hahaha I like this guy more and more every day
|
The breack-in is finally ended!
sadly I ran out of fuel (100%dc) at 29 psi, but I can see the potential now it spins 4th with standard tyres |
Wow. Sounds crazy.
|
VD said 408hp, it's really impressive!
I think it's time to stop here, even if the boost duty is 68% |
veeeery nice. Must feel like an absolute beast
|
First problem: blown head gasket
At idle it runs on 3 cylinders, smokes white and burns coolant When I installed the head with arp's I scretched the head surface on the arp's, that's the only reason it comes in my mind |
Could also be that you're simply running more boost than you should be. I know on my car, we could make more boost but couldn't make more power. Something to keep in mind.
Really should get it on a proper dyno with the power and boost levels you're running. |
I just ordered cometic HG, since I was using the ebay one, and AEM WI noozle, pump and everything else I need to run safer and with moar boost
AEM calculations said that if I use 50-50 water methanol the afr reading is a point richer than real, so if I run 11.5:1 I have to read 10.5:1 is it right? |

VD log, red is 15 psi, blue 30 psi. Consider that the torque is in Nm, not in Ft pound
