Pat, I was just telling someone about your car at the track today. I hope you can do 110 in the eighth, I will be watching.
Thanks!

 

Hey, you want wheelie poppin' miata, buy my MSM diff/axles, put a really strong clutch in it, and drag radials at 18 PSI, heat the tires on the limiter in 2nd gear for 3-4 seconds, then launch at full boost with a clutch dump at 5K. If full boost is more than 25 PSI, it will probably pull the front wheels. Don't worry, stock rods should be fine!

 

Thank you! I hope to get it fast enough that I have to limit power to avoid being kicked off the track. Anything below 6.40 requires a license/certified cage/suit/shutoff switch/driveshaft loops/etc. I should be able to go around 110 or so before that happens.

 

 

Like this:

 

That's it!
That is what I Need!

I should have just quoted the stock rods part.

 

You gotta believe in your stock rods man. Only 240k miles, they are just getting ready for boost!

In all seriousness, I ran 17 PSI with a GT3271 on a stock motor for a year. Just kept the timing soft in the midrange to limit torque and the chance of knock. It ran strong, probably 300whp or so on 93.

What boost level you at with the EBC right now?

 

248k now. Just checked my log, actually at 21psi up top with 33% boost duty.

 

Might still be some unicorn sperm left in this one.

 

you're running 21 psi on a stock 248k mile engine? Sheesh

 

Blow-by keeps peak cylinder pressure to a safe value?

 

I think my tires don't give enough to push on.

I also don't recommend this, and I add 3 drops of unicorn semen to each oil change (if you can't get any?) Plus I keep my timing conservative, usually and I am aggressive with my MAT timing corrections. And... My car was well maintained before I owned it.

Above all, I log almost every stinkin' drive at that level.

I am sure my motor is worn, but you don't run 12's with something wrong.

I also have access to 2 other vehicles, and pretty much expected this motor to let go months ago. Or 5 speed, something.

 

Can you post your tune and a log from racing? I'd like to see what timing you're running at those boost levels on a stock motor.

 

My MAT corrections start @90*F about .1*, 110* about .3*ect... but I might change it start @ to 80* F. This timing table is for CA 91 octane. I can share my 8 gallon 100 octane mix timing table but it is just that, not very repeatable.

 

I'm impressed. Genuinely impressed. That's more boost and timing than we run on G's car with a built everything.

 

The knock in 3rd is pretty quiet but it occurred at 85*F which is why I want to start a 80*F now. I don't consider less than 84.8% to be true knock on my motor, this was a very quiet log.

 

I am still suspicious that somehow my car was worked on at the same time as another car that was supposed to have a built motor with a exedey clutch or whatever and mine with just the act clutch. Since the PO said it had a yellow ACT, but it didn't. I apparantly hit 7600 rpm in my log too when I missed a shift, but you wouldn't guess it by driving the car. I mean still smoki'n turbo porsche's and supercharged V8 Jag's through 3rd, which is all they will do around here.

Next week will be different.

Either that or I got one that exceeded all the specs originally, which is possible. I have that kind of luck, don't get in line behind me though, it will be the slowest, for sure.

Like I tell everyone who asks about my car at the track;
"I don't recommend doing this!"

 

Damn that is a cute *** picture of Riley in my sig, I had dinner with his folks and their new pup this evening.

 

My buddy did the same thing as you in his festiva, for about 2-3 years.
Stock BP05, absolutely raped daily, I mean he was straight up abusive with it.
Took it out, put it into the 323, raped it for another year. We kept waiting for it to die and about 4-5 years later, it finally popped, punching a rod through the side and annihilating the whole engine.

it was a fun car:
ran a best of 12.4 @ 114 on crappy all seasons.....remember, this is FWD

 

Oh ****, seriously can't stop laughing enough to watch the video yet.
