What's your flange on the mani? T3?

The 3071 has a housing option with a twin scroll but as I recall, it's 1.06 housing. You don't want that.

I've never seen a miata with twin scroll....anybody know of one?

Yes, he would want the 1.0 housing. It would probably spool like a smaller .63 housing or maybe better. Of course, with a Garrett and a twin scroll housing you will also need to plumb TWO external wastegates.

Who makes the 3071 twinscroll housing? Btw if u have a 3071 in your hands you can have it upgraded by garrett to a gtx compressor wheel. Blouch has one too.

Oh and SPD you will see one on my miata very soon :)

It's a Garrett housing.

You'll need the ---- probe gauge so you can measure how much pucker your ass creates when you drive your imaginary 400hp Miata.

I'm a fan of some of the Auber Instruments gauges. You can use them to monitor temperature, pressure, etc. from an electric sender. They are configurable and have alarms you can set.

Since this has transitioned into another thread I have been looking at wastegates and assuming I stick with my current setup is a tial 38mm WG big enough for my power goals? Whats the limit for that WG? I assume its the boost leveals and rates of flow?

My new car has one of these.

Wouldn't your water temp gauge tell you the same thing?

once it got hot enough to bury the gauge, yes. The volt gauge would be instantaneous to show its dropped charge

Faeflora 01-26-2011 07:57 PM

Yay. More shit to fucking stare at instead of driving.

I destroyed two motors because radiator burst and the other from water pump death. Did not notice needle pegged until the damn pistons melted and welded themselves to the cylinder walls. This was a diesel btw

+1 for idiot lights. i dunno about you guys but for track driven cars my tiny brain is too slow to watch gauges. this setup gives 6 idiot lights and 8 sensors. i just wish it was cheeper.

aim mxl strada (which is actually street version (has crippled datalogging)

18psi 01-26-2011 10:08 PM

that looks sweet

Faeflora 01-26-2011 11:21 PM

I saw this sick as fuck full color digital dash in the latest issue of modified.

could pretty much do everything you'd want. and it looked good. better than that blue piece of shit up there.
