Finally got the run files. Before the turbo and at 15psi. Enjoy! :bigtu:

I must say, I'm very impressed every time I read about your dyno run. Great job! You may have the fastest Greddy miata period.

jayc72 09-26-2006 03:49 PM

Those are impressive numbers considering you aren't using a more capable ECU. You dyno plot goes against the common opinion that you can't get these kinds of power levels with an AFPR based system!

There is a dyno plot at FM's webpage of a greddy setup w/link doing over 260. In the description it says "It takes a little while for that turbo to spool..." Ironically it seems to get to peak tq as fast or faster than their 1.6 FM based setups.

Good job!

I dont get it..how is it possible to run those figures with emanage and 1.8 injectors.

Am I missing somthing here????

jayc72 09-26-2006 06:02 PM

Lots of fuel pressure! And voodoo, don't forget the voodoo.

It's more than just 1.8 injectors and emanage. I also have a Begi AFPR and Pierburg inline fuel pump as well as an RX-7 AFM and olderguy's autotune. While I agree that "technically" the 1.8 injectors shouldn't be able to support those #, well...they do, and both the tailpipe sniffer and my pre-cat WB show that I am not running lean.

As I've posted in the past, many of the miata gurus (Keith from FM, Brant from BRP, markp, RodH) have said that the 99-00 1.8 injectors have lots of "headroom" for FI whatever that means. Maybe b/c they were designed around a returnless fuel rail that runs at 60psi they are more tolerant of higher pressures. Not sure.

Granted, they "technically" shouldn't work, but they do. That said, I have a spare set of 310cc injectors in my garage should my WB or other data ever show that I am running lean or too high fuel pressures. FWIW, olderguy also runs 1.8 injectors at 15psi and has not had fueling issues either.

Oh yeah, and I forgot....the special boost voodoo dance before I get on the dyno....haha

What kinda fuel pressure are you seeing at 15psi? I used to run about 110psi or so on 270's ( I know I was rich like Bill Gates )....just wondering:)

Braineack 09-27-2006 10:04 AM

I think he said he was around 100psi or so.

Right around 90-100psi last I checked.

wow, I need to lay off my fuel then. LOL. I think Im gonna run out to the car and put a restrictor in my AFPR.

Braineack 09-27-2006 10:26 AM

I'm feeding my 305s 100psi of fuel at 9psi of boost. I'm recording 12:1 and slowly getting richer nearing redline.

330s at 100psi are good for about 275 BHP

Yeah, see I run about 110psi for 12psi on pumpgas. Its around 10.5:1 AFR's. I would prefer to be around 11.5 :1 but I run rich just to keep things safe. I was gonna add a resitrictor and try to get around 95-100psi and lean it out just a little to gain some free HP. Anyone use the wd-40 restrictor mod?

Braineack 09-27-2006 01:07 PM

POP and a few others suggested it to me. But Corky was nice enough to send me one of his.

cccpull 09-28-2006 08:35 AM

What injector duty cycles are you guys running?
I only had fuel for 13psi with 440's at a static 80 psi.

olderguy 09-28-2006 08:54 AM

The highest that was logged by the Emanage was 91 just at the end of the run, but there was no additional injection at that time. The highest I can read in fuel pressure that logs is 97psi(so it could have gone over 100), but that only held for about 1/10th of a second.

I don't fully trust the Emanage logging 'cause it is only picking off in 1/10 seconds. The control factor is happening much more quickly.

brgracer 09-28-2006 12:53 PM

My highest logged duty cycle was 92-93 very briefly as well toward the end. No additional injection at that point as well.

Also agree with the emanage logging as some numbers do not correlate with the LC-1 numbers that logs much faster.

MiataNuTca 09-30-2006 12:31 PM

You guys have to remember at those high pressures that the internal injector "needle" has to close against those pressures in 1 complete duty cycle. So even though your around a 85-90% duty cycle, the injector may still lag due to the increased pressure it sees when the needle is open. I can't see this being good for injectors over the long run.

magnamx-5 09-30-2006 01:45 PM

So you are saying there could be up to say a 5% duty cycle variation do to pressure force caused lag that makes sense at that point bgr would be past 100% dc.

miataspeed2005 12-21-2006 06:55 PM

nice number...has to be a real good tune

jeffsl 02-21-2007 07:44 PM

wow, nice.

Braineack 02-21-2007 09:02 PM

im so exicted to see his new numbers....just you wait!

akaryrye 02-22-2007 12:59 AM

hats off to you mate. That is extremely impressive. I am interested to see how it works out in the long run.

brgracer 02-22-2007 01:13 PM

After all the hype and wait, I'll wager that when the time comes I'll probably end up making less power. Maybe I'll just up the boost to counteract? :gay:

I think it was a magical dyno....bought from the same guy who sold Jack his beanstalk beans....

they also said i couldn't run 440s on a emb. :rly: good job with those numbers sir. i'm hoping for similiar numbers.

savior 03-09-2007 05:50 PM

slow.

lol jk

I should hope we could get more than that at 15 psi with good tuning. by 15psi i wanna hit closer to 300. We'll see as soon as i get my MS in. hopefully first i gotta fix that damn oil leak.

I don't think the TD04-15G can flow enough air to reach 300, I hope that it does, but I think it maxes out closer to 275 and that's running a really efficient setup with a good tune.

magnamx-5 03-14-2007 10:11 AM

i meant a tdo5 16g in response to jahunis. yeah i agree a td04 is a nice turbo but it probably wont push more than 275 whp.

BrillntBlk92 04-05-2007 01:54 PM

Where did you get the Pierburg fuel pump from? also, I'm guessing its alot easier than installing an in-tank fuel pump?

Braineack 04-05-2007 02:05 PM

BEGi, actually no.

naturalboost 05-04-2007 12:58 PM

what injectoes and engine management where being used?

jayc72 05-04-2007 01:10 PM

EMB, 1.8 injectors AFPR, O2 Clamp/Autotune and a high pressure fuel pump. I'm pretty sure his setup has been discussed at length.

jayc72 05-04-2007 01:18 PM

In fact if you would have read the ENTIRE THREAD you would have seen the discussion about his setup. Please try harder next time.

Braineack 05-04-2007 01:21 PM

8 days and you'll see a new plot ;)

naturalboost 05-13-2007 12:02 PM

what driveline mods other than clutches are people running with 250+ hp?

1.8 Torsen Diff or RX-7 diffs. Around 300-ish some are going to the 6-speed transmission.

SKMetalworks 05-21-2007 10:42 PM

man i really want around 275 with my greddy. anyone have megasqurt?

Lanks 06-18-2007 06:55 PM

Great figures brg, looking forward to getting some of mine own!

bubbaflaat 08-29-2007 11:41 PM

can you tell me what kind of internal mods you have supporting that?

akaryrye 08-29-2007 11:54 PM

he ran that on a stock motor and it eventually blew up

kotomile 08-30-2007 01:15 AM

..but to caveat akaryerye, didn't he blow it up @ 17 psi?

not to knock bubba, but @ 12 posts it's likely he doesn't realise how much boost a Miata engine can take with stock internals. Hell, I've had people ask me if I was going to get my engine "sleeved" before turning up the wick :gay:

Braineack 08-30-2007 08:57 AM

it only blew up (bad rings) when he went to megasquirt and starting running more boost. he ran it in that configuration for a few years with various track days.

Harv 08-30-2007 01:28 PM

Wow, more boost than 15psi on that turbo?! That seems a bit crazy.

brgracer 08-30-2007 01:55 PM

Yup, can handled 15psi for a little over a year including a few pretty strenuous track days.

Engine gave up the ghost at 18psi. I was NOT trying to run the engine at 18psi, but my crappy Autometer boost gauge was reading 10-12 psi so didn't realize I was at 18psi until after the damage was pretty much done.

That sucks. Did you rebuild and get it back up and running or just go to a new engine?

mtncrvr 08-30-2007 10:01 PM

Curious - what A/F ratio you seeing at peak power in that graph ? Better yet what target did you tune for ?

Pretty much dead flat between 12-12.5 AFR which is right where I was aiming. I think there might be a pic in one of the old threads. It's the beauty of olderguy's autotune.

mazda/nissan 09-19-2007 07:16 PM

are you running an intercooler or just crossover? i know this thread is old but i'm debating intercooler or not

wtf? you fail to forget the greddy turbo is one of those magical non-heating ones.

mazda/nissan 09-21-2007 12:06 AM

i know that stock greddy's came with crossover tube so i was just asking, magnamx-5 has no intercooler and i didn't see any other info about his setup on this thread or others

Braineack 09-21-2007 08:15 AM

richard runs water injection. click the vbgarage and see tom's setup in full.

Scot you kill me :rofl: yeah Mazda nissan he runs a big ole FMIC

brgracer 09-21-2007 08:33 AM

Sorry I didn't reply earlier, I used a big FMIC b/c my AC is removed. It's the one one ebay with 2/5" in/outs and IIRC the core dimensions are 12"x9"3". It's a little on the big side IMHO, but it was cheap.
