I mean dont get me wrong I love my 225/45/15 koooks....they are the nicest street tyres I have ever had the pleasure of owning and I have had some nice street tyres in my time. But when you start making the kinda power we are its hard to get street rubber to hold it, unless you are dropping 245's under the rear.

When exactly are you spinning? I am curious because I would think that with both of us at 16psi we are close to the same power output. I think 16psi isnt crazy fast but its fast enough to hand most people their ass on the street.

i like my g force sports 225-50r15 they need to be warmed but after that they offer some very nice and predictable grip. end thread drift. sorry mark

The hydra will give you more of what you want- power. I made one datalog run, made minor fuel and ign changes, then went back out and made another run and instantly had more power. 3000rpm - before=3psi after=3.3, 4000rpm - before=9psi after=9.6psi. No signs of knock, so there's still more to gain.

Oh being a DD, I can understand. I actually traded a set of stock alloys for a new set of nitto drag radials, so I haven't had any breaking loose. Don't know if that's good or bad.

I honestly cant wait to get my gubby little mits on a hydra in the spring.

I promised more pictures, so here they are... The Ghettocharged miata in all it's glory. I may go to the track tonight.

Ghettocharged Miata Pt-II

very nice :)

That thing's nearly as ghetto as mine ;)

sweet, looks good

Those dead butterflies on the intercooler definately reahc out to me and say ghetto. LOL, looks really good man.

sweet mark, it looks nice......and ghetto;)

needs more grass in the engine bay. but looks great. no nonsense. where'd you get the hard parts to mount the Tec3r trigger wheel and sensor? Vishnu throwbacks?

Racing Mazda stocks them.

So the real skinny... how fast can you go with a untuned $200 turbo and $175 manifold?

Conditions:
205/50R15 Falken Azenis
Full Tank of Gas
Piss poor driver
Hardtop installed
Vehicle weight ~2700 lbs with driver

Results:
Poor 60' times, wheel hop issues, and no traction in 3 gears.

1st Run:

12.93 @ 115.77 MPH
60' 2.23
1/8 mile 8.59@86.41

Best run: (two passes at 12.76)

12.76 @ 115.21 MPH
60' 2.16
1/8 mile 8.37@89.02

The car pulls hard up top, but can't plant the power off the line. If I run my drag radials next time, I think that 12.20's are within reach.

dayum mark nice times, you need more tire though. I bet with better tires your 60' will drop a ton and et and mph will go up because of the extra traction....Impressive:)

yeah get some traction looks real nice.

I just notice you rotated your wastegate flange 90*- sneaky. You keep doing stuff like that and you'll have an american made chinese header. ;)

12.20s? Hmmm... sounds like a showdown in the works looking Andy's sig. Oh - but he'll be running 11s with the hydra and new IC setup. :bigtu:

LOL, Ya, well the Tial didn't fit right the other way. So I twisted it. I am sure that Andy's car will remain faster than mine. I don't have the turbo, ported head or race fuel.... add in the extra few hundred pounds from my portly ABS equipped 10th AE and he'll be kicking my ass for quite some time.

Mark

I dont have the TEC3R, 8500rpm redline, or 20psi...quit yer bitchin;)

Last time I weighed my car it was 2260 w/ a full tank of gas w/o me in it.

THANK YOU!:bigtu:
