A/C coming soon, hopefully this weekend. My South Texas brethren can attest to the current significance of this. |
Amen for ac. I am piecing my back together now as well. It didn't matter so much in the mountains.

I was wondering what you were going to do about the WI. I'll probably just get the 4 nozzles added on my DO kit and still modulate the pump. You were supposed to come up with some cool failsafe to run crazy timing that I could copy! I'm curious what DC you're running with those nozzles at the highest boost/RPM setting? I don't plan on anything above 18psi and am trying to figure out what nozzles to get for my water/meth injection.
Good numbers, so I'm eager to see what my little 1.6 will do. |
So here is the latest deal with the WI system. I'll update there to keep from jacking this thread and to avoid redundancy.

Fixed the A/C FTMFW.

Isn't the car so much nicer to drive now?
I got the AC working in the LS car and it is nice pulling it in and out of the barn/shop :) |
Nice numbers. Corey has tuned a bunch of cars for me and he knows his stuff and is an all-around good guy. Besides, how can you not like a guy who shares his building with a liquor store?

Could you effectively autocross with the gt2871? Or, would you do much better with the powerband of the 2560?
I want the best trade off of max power (around 300) and midrange torque/low boost threshold. |
I would definitely use a 2560 over the 2871 for auto-x. For a road course I would use the 2871 for the improved efficiency. Dual purpose (auto-x and road course) 2560.
Read up some more here and at miata.net as this has been discussed to death. Just do not get a 2554 unless you never plan to make big power. |

I would say 'worthless' is a gross overstatement. Others have used the 0.86 A/R housing, giving up 200-300 RPM in spool RPM for a bit more power at high RPM. Not a big deal, pick the one you like, the 2871 is awesome either way.
The car has been parted since I started this thread. But I drove the car that my old turbo system is in and it freaking rips. Love it, especially with the E85 fuel the owner is running. Spool is great and he does not even have an MBC in it yet. |
Zx-Tex Your PMs are full.
Do you remember what trim you were running? |
Yeah sorry my membership expired so I went from not to many PMs to way too many overnight.
IIRC I had the 56 trim with the 'anti-surge machining option' and the 0.64 A/R turbine housing with the internal wastegate. It was purchased from ATP through BEGI. http://www.atpturbo.com/mm5/merchant...egory_Code=GRT BEGI ported the wastegate and I never had problems with boost creep even at 300+ RWHP. |

Without the VVT?
