Thanks for the update Paul, good spool with that 2560! I wish you could post a log with your DD for a better comparison!

paul 07-15-2008 08:17 PM

i'll try tomorrow. i'm actually letting it sit though since the front pads are so low one started grinding. new are on order.

1750rpm: 1.0psi
1870rpm: 2.1psi
2014rpm: 3.3psi

absurd.

I need real boost control instead of this ball 'n spring.

you like?

here's what happened when i pulled from 1750rpm

100% tp @ 1750rpm

2000rpm 2.9psi
2200rpm 4.6psi
2500rpm 6.5psi
2700rpm 8.5psi
3000rpm 11.6psi
3200rpm 14.0psi

Damn. damn damn.

I will datalog my car for sure, but I think the twins can't get to 14psi til after 4000. They make like 5psi really low but then sorta stay there until the revs climb.

Anyone want a TT setup? Maybe Mark will buy one of the 1548's. Partial trade for a VVT head?

I'll use the stainless absurdflow manifold that I'm making and the 2560 off my subaru. :) I bet artie is getting anxious.

It's cool. Perfection needs time. Once its done I can dyno and post my spool numbers here too. Sorry for the thread hijack.

Man, I guess I need to ditch my RB exhaust as well. The T3 spools a tad late, anything quicker would be nice.

Braineack 07-16-2008 11:40 AM

I performed some mild headwork and I gained a touch better spool.....this was with a 2.25" borla exhaust.

this is no headwork with a MBC compared to headwork with an open wastegate line.... what can clearly tell is the headwork helped spool the turbo a touch earlier....you can also see my boost creep started to appear :)


upgraded to a 3" magnaflow....the difference is clear:

I'm seeing 14psi just before 4000rpm in 4th gear. I suspect I'll get a boost a couple 100rpm sooner when I change out my exhaust. right now it is 2 1/4" Spec Miata exhaust with an extra glass pack resonator. Ideal it's not. No fancy EBC, just a ball and spring MBC.

How about this for an interesting comparison? My setup vs paul vs brian vs Sav

Braineack 07-17-2008 03:59 PM

I just found my log here that I took about 2 weeks ago just to record my spool....

RPM PSI

2500 1.5psi
2700 3psi
3000 5psi
3300 7psi
3600 10psi
3767 11.6psi
3788 12.9psi
3861 14.0psi
3900 16.2psi

3rd gear, 70*F morning

in fourth, log shows spool is about 150rpm faster.

can you redo with those numberz please.
