No, when it goes, all your oil goes with it.

Oil is overrated anyway.

So the injectors are ok? And are they that prone to breaking?

TonyV 01-29-2008 08:48 PM

Cant help much, but fwiw nice clean ext..:cool:

Is that a Red LED light in the passanger side foot well?

MX5-4me 01-29-2008 10:18 PM

I'm kinda sorry to hear about you taking it to someone for tuning.. i was hoping we could say..

MS PnP so easy a RicAr: could do it!!

I guess that isn't going to happen now.

:cjerk:

miataz 01-29-2008 11:40 PM

lmao thanks, and yes that is a red LED lol. Im taking it to him because i dont want to deal with all the tuning and hes the best around here, and im still noob at it. But hopefully i will get the hang of it and the guy will probably teach me a little.

Wow... Um where to start on this one?. You could have the ignition timing off and firing so far retarded that its burning on the exhaust stroke and headers getting hot. Or you f'd your injecter wiring and its spraying lean. Plus it sounds like you have a vac leak by the delay in the revs. If i where you before spending all that money recheck your timing to be 7* go over the basics because thats not a smooth idle.

Where's the Godspeed rad matched with "2 10 slim rad fans, red silicone rad hoses"? I see the hoses but that radiator looks very similar to the stock one sitting in my garage.

miataz 01-30-2008 07:43 AM

Ya im pretty sure my timing is fucked up, and it does sound like a vac leak but i cant find a leak anywhere i will keep rechecking though, and have to re-order new injector clips, because i believe i did wire the injectors backwards, so i guess im gona have to re-wire them fuck...and my Godspeed rad is on back order for 6 weeks if you havent read it, well 3 weeks now probably, and the fans are sitting in the box waiting to be installed when the rad comes, hopefully my intake will still fit.

miataz 01-30-2008 07:46 AM

And isnt the timing supposed to be set to 10 deg?

cjernigan 01-30-2008 10:15 AM

You set the trigger angle in MS by telling MS to hold timing at 10*. Then adjust your trigger angle until the crank pully matches 10*. Simple as that and there are two manuals telling you how to do it.

chriscar 01-30-2008 10:28 AM

Take it to the shop. Without basic troubleshooting skills / general knowledge of fuel injection, timing, etc, you're in way over your head. You should also rethink your plans to turbocharge your car until you either find a local buddy to teach you and do the inevitable fixes that will be needed along the way, or just decide that you're going to pay to have it done.

Modding a normally aspirated car is one thing, turbocharging brings the complication factor to a whole other, MUCH less forgiving level. When you're 'building' a boosted car, the shit doesn't just magically piece itself together. There will be problems to work through, and nobody's born knowing how to do it.

yes i know i have to set a trigger angle and all that shit, but my dads blind and cant read shit i ask him if its there hes like ya ya, so i really cant do anything about that. I wired my injectors backwards, by accident. I know how to put together a turbo its just the tuning part im not good it with all those numbers settings ect...and heres what came in the mail td, i hate ups fucking rip off. The part is worth 25$ and they charge me 22$ on duties...well here it is:

Why does it take 2 people to set the timing?

Looks like it's going to take at least 3 people. 2 couldn't get the job done.

cjernigan 01-30-2008 12:11 PM

You just set the trigger angle, then go check the crank timing. Then go adjust it and check it again.
It takes me 3 tries to get trigger angle set perfectly. Your blind father is a unnecessary hassle when trying to set it yourself.

miataz 01-30-2008 12:41 PM

well he holds the timing gun, while im on the laptop, but i guess im going to have to do it by myself...and yes he is blind lmao

LOOINEY 01-31-2008 12:25 AM

Is it 10*?... explains the no dig all last 3k of pull while its N/A
