Are you going to sacramento raceway? If so Vlad needs to be in the video :giggle: |

Figured this wouldn't pass tech:
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1462553094 So I had good old Safelite come out and fix me up: https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1462553094 The weigh-in with driver and 5/8 of a tank: https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1462553094 And my favorite part, my new jacket came in! https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1462553094 So to be clear, despite my signature (I just love challenges) I don't think the car will do a 12.5 as it sits with it's stiff AX setup, it's more the trap I'm shooting for. According to the Wallace Racing Calculator, my claimed 276.45allofits & 2420cats should equate to a 112.58mph litter box speed, so that's what I'm gunning for. Should I run a 108 like 18psi's prediction, maybe I'll send him an actual live cat in the mail along with a signed contract stating I will never bring up or rely on bench racing ever again on the mt.net forum. Either way it'll be a good time :skid: |
Do eeeet

lololol. :likecat: :bigtu:

If you have any pics of that compressor wheel compared to the original wheel, I'd love to see them. :likecat:

I found that to be the most interesting difference between the two wheels. I figured there would be more of a difference in performance, but I'm assuming with the exducer being the same size on both wheels, and technically being the same trim, there can only be so much gain regardless of the shape of the blade/core. The thing sounds freaking cool though, I will give it that. (Was also cool to see a notable gain in transient response). Edit: Around 5:40 in the video I take some measurements. |

I keep forgetting that your 2554 isnt really a 2554.
But i still predict 108 trap and will be teally amazed if you hit 112+ |

The only difference up top is boost taper vs. no boost taper. Not saying a cast wheel could do the exact same thing, but I'm just not sold that it transforms the turbo into a new beast. Edit: I have datalogs from both pulls, I can overlay the boost curves if interested. |
Did the car get leaner at all in the same cells of the map?
|
I think it's cool and I'd do that upgrade. How much was the wheel?
|
1 tapers the other doesn't. that already makes a 20+ bump up top as we can see

you either compare pre-tuning to see if it leaned out, or post tuning to see how much you added to same cells of VE table to maintain afr.
it has to be same cells. otherwise it's a wash the fact that it held more boost up top already says it's flowing more |

Good luck!
Can't wait to see the outcome of this. |

Hope y'all are ready, I know I am. No matter what happens it should be popcorn worthy. |
