Not ok. I'd be pissed if I was the miata or boxter driver.

 

lol! I bet this chode has never stepped foot on a race track

 

Jesus Christ! That looked like the riced out Protege that passed me on the highway this morning!

 

 

Mazda and Boxster look like their standing still.

 

looked fine from that point of view.

 

Agreed- nothing went wrong. If the MX5 driver is afraid, he probably should find another hobby. Things don't go awry until the being passed isn't predictable- like moving to make way for the fast car.

I appreciate the space available to turbocharge in the attached image. Lots of cool things going on there.

 

not sure what good that O2 sensor is...

 

 

I'm sure it gives an excellent average of whatever the AFR of the atmosphere is and what the AFR of the engine was two seconds ago.

 

I dont think it would be that bad. Its not pulsating as much as it would be NA.

Ive tuned cars running open downpipes like that and Ive never seen any behavior that would lead me to believe that the AFR readings were off in any way. Not even at idle.

 

but like, why not put it off the pipes before the turbo? then you'd measure NO atmosphere.

 

But like why would you put it pre turbo? What are you measuring pre turbo?
http://innovatemotorsports.com/suppo...C-1_Manual.pdf Look on page 7.

 

It looks like a 4 wire O2, which would work fine closer to the turbo.

 

Want. Too bad they only make them in 17".

 

The problem I have with it is how close to the outlet it is...it's going to be metering atmosphere if anything.

There's about 6 feet of piping the sensor could be placed at between the turbo and block that would work much better and meter the exhaust accurately.

uhhhhhhhhhh...to measure the amount of gas to oxygen in the exhaust. Not sure what role you think the turbo has, but it has nothing to do with combustion. I doubt the pressures would damage the sensor, and I doubt the heat is anywhere close to as it would be bolted next to the block, which is the main reason we install aft turbo. The sensor as located now, will give you **** for accuracy, hell when I have the slightest exhaust leak in my setup, even when much further downstream than the sensor, it reports back lean.

 

You think that somehow atmosphere is going to make it up the pipe? :lol: Ever put your hand at the end of an exhaust pipe while a car is idling?

Again, I refer you to page 7 of this PDF: http://innovatemotorsports.com/suppo...C-1_Manual.pdf

 

yes. yes.

point out where it deals with remore turbos that are located 6 feet away from the motor.

 

Don't matter.
