wow i had this idea a year or two ago but never put it to the test thought that people would think i was crazy, also didnt have a car to test it on. i explained to my friend that we shoud have do it to his Supra but he wouldnt he punched me in the gut, and said YOU STUPID RICER!! So i said what ever!

 

that could very well be the most creative thing i have ever seen. Does it seal closed well?

 

looking nice slos13 but don't throttle bodies not seel completely to let air in at idle or is that controlled with a stop in the throttle cable?

 

They seal at idle, IAC's or similar take care of idle air.

It seals excellent. I plugged the IACV feed holes (dunno what else to call 'em) with JBWeld and let it cure overnight before I installed it.

 

From the far away chair looking at the internet, skeptics can easily see that it won't seal correctly.

You did it. You say it seals, I believe you above all others. Right on!

 

slos13 did you weld that with your harbor freight or with that monster of a welder you have sitting there that i think you said you borrowed from someone?

 

Yeah borrowing it indefinitely from my older brother, until he wants it back anyways. I had to break out the ole flux-core for this one. Big one is out of gas and I'm extremely lazy.


Thanks!. When I get some vid of it, I'll try to show how good it's sealed by putting a piece of paper around it or something when the car is running.

I tried taking a few vids of it this past weekend but I only have a digicam and the vids suck pretty bad.

 

i saw it, lol

 

What about the fuel air ratio's. Does this not change things drastically when you drive it open?

Or is it ok?

My ratio's changed when I finnally got my exhaust hooked up right. (instead of dangling under the car to the muffler shop) But mine was loose at the dp instead of after a resonator.

That is sweet!!!!!!

 

You do realize this thread is 8 months old right?

 

I have this at the end of my downpipe....
YouTube - Mazda Miata Turbo with Exhaust ByPass Valve

I've modded it since then to give more clearance. Nice and neat with a little switch for open/close.
