well done

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:

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.

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?

My visual acuity is low apparently. Need to... :eek5:

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.

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.
