Thats a really good idea for the entire board...+1 Mark!

 

well if you like it and its running good then i may be the second to try being ghettocharged

 

I had half a ghettocharger on my miata for about 3 months.

 

Then I might end up being the 3rd the way my T25 is going I might swap it all out for a ghetto t3/4 with differential manifold/dp.

 

reviving this thread to ask MarkP for an update on the chinacharger performance. is the turbo still alive and kicking? It's been nearly 6 months, how many miles have you got on it?

 

his **** broke ages ago.

 

no his **** manifold broke at a weld, so BEGi made him a new one. the turbo is still working, as far as i know.

 

I thought is was the manifold that broke, not the turbo.

 

yes the ghettochrome manifold failed on him big time. the turbo should still be good but only mark can tell

 

i thought the engine broke

 

that was a long time ago. RM FTW

 

I thought he got married, sold all his stuff and moved to North Dakota.

 

wtf no he was maried along time ago and he is moving to virginia to be a Navy psychiatrist.

 

He did get married, but he's moving here to MD.

 

The ghettocharger was fine, even though debris from broken steel had hit the turbine blades it survived with a couple of dings to the blade. The manifold was repairable but since the dump pipe for the wastegate was stupidly implemented it would have just cracked again. So I decided to redo it. Partially because I wanted more power.

It's coming soon. Some delays and I decided to go with E85/1600cc injectors and a slightly larger turbo this time.

LOL. Geeze guys.

I'm been married for 17 years. I celebrated our anniversary with the wife yesterday. Yes, my wife is VERY understanding and absolutely phenomenal. I am moving to MD and will be there on August 15, 2007 provided I make it through OIS in Rhode Island in July.

Depending on where you live in MD, you can get your E85 in Annapolis or Ft. Meade. I assume you'll have base access.

that's what it was, an anniversary, maybe I'm confusing the wedding stuff with Kelly....obviously I'm no E-Stalker...

 

Kelly's engaged, I got married last october.

 

yeah, that's the one, with your little Groom's cake.
