i am not coming down on Saturday, stupid co-worker won't cover for me even tho i worked a double to cover for him yesterday.....

My car will be there tho, Paul will be driving it down to get it dyno'd for me.

Ha, nothing but pimpin' hard. Maybing adjusting the gain on my subwoofer.

Y8s might be out, something green is leaking from his motor now :(


I think we are meeting around 9am at my house friday and driving straight up to the karting place. Don't forget your helmet. A lumbar pillow ill save your life when karting all day.

I WANT TIME YOU TELL ME WHAT TIME

I was building a vband setup but then the clutch slave cyl broke and I bought a new subaru so that gets my time now, as well as removing all the cool parts off my old suby.

I will give you my license to pimp.

also, the green was gone from my radiator very early yesterday. it's all clear now :(

Berrodin by my house usually has the slave cylinders in stock and cheap. Lemme know if you want me to pick one up for you this week. I know the master cylinders go for 50 and change. Im not sure about the slaves.

Anyone bringing their wife or gf? My wife can't decide if she's going to come. If someones elses girl goes maybe she won't get bored

sign up sheet says paul and tim will...

My Son Andrew and I will be there.


Dyno-no
Karts-no
Food-no

Watch and Learn-Yes

Yea. Jes (Paul's GF) is bringing her Laguna and Tim's wife usually comes too.

Mother effer weather calls for rain on Saturday. I'm gonna have to start taping my back window up. Man I really hate driving the miata on the rain.

Only a 30% chance of rain. We had that last time and it turned out to be a really nice day.

I think more times than not it's raining on the way down or at least has good chances of rain, but it has so far been beautiful on the past dyno days I've gone to, which is most.

Looks like I will be joined by other half who wants to learn about turboz. Hoping to get my buddy to come as well so he can dyno his stock '99, realize he has less horsepower than an Amish family going to Sunday services, and get off the turbo fence.

^cool, if he needs to talk to someone who mulled it over and was on the fence for a bit....look for me.

I just had the Mishimoto radiator installed w/ the stock fans....not a happy fit. At least all seems like it went well.

got a fresh oil change too (Motul 8100). That's something else everyone that's dynoing should consider, along w/ doublechecking lines, coolant, wires, etc. Nothing's worse than seeing a motor blow on the dyno, spew oil everywhere, or whatever else.

He came with me to the last MT dyno day, he just didn't want to dyno his car knowing that as soon as he did, he'd NEED a turbo, rather than WANT a turbo. It was bad enough for him to see some of the numbers other people were putting up.

Oh, and no, still not planning to bring my Miata, so somebody else will have to take the "lowest power of the day" award.

I will "probably" make it up there Saturday morning. Won't be dynoing though. I just like to watch. :giggle:

I got my datalog working and I may have to make my final tunning touches at the dyno. Since I have no time at all lately with school and work. And Friday night I'll be chaging my oil and intalling Mazda comp mm.
I'm super excited I'm gonna pop my dyno cherry

Scott- Don't forget my pins!

I totally would have, putting them out now.

What? I thought that was the point of dynoing your car.

Paul - reminder...box w/ pulley.

weather is going to be so shitty for the dyno day, sad face :(

Thats why all the cool kids have hardtops.

Go Karting in 4.5 hours. Hells Yah.

:fawk: and your hardtop
<----wishing it had a hardtop or at least a soft top without holes

sign me up, just saw this thread, will be there with the boosted NC

Mike

We've been karting for 3hrs, everyone be jealous!

For those who haven't left yet, I snipped this from the May dyno day thread so you can save $4 by hopping off 95 one exit early (from the south).
Here, I drew a map.
Attachment 202477

assuming it is downpouring, are they going to still run it? Last dyno day I got 1/2 way there and got a call from Paul saying they were butfuks and scared of running the dyno, only to let us on after a half our.

(yea sometimes it pays to sleep in)

EDIT: Meg isn't coming...she only thinks it's interesting if I dyno something. Ha.

They better not cancel I'm driving 3hrs +
and tell her to come my wife needs someone to talk to

Still only a 30% chance of rain til 3pm. That's a low chance.

I'm soooo drunk! I'm at this chick 21st party open bar. WTF! I gotta get up at 5

Braineack and shui... sheu... shiu... Lars. When I caught back up after taking the scenic Harbor Tunnel (thought it would be faster, wasn't) I noticed you were a man down. Did you leave neogenesis on the side of the highway in Baltimore? And is he armed?

So on the way home from the dyno. About mile marker 103 on 95 South in Maryland. Brians motor blew. We had just gotten on 95 and he was in boost and I saw some white smoke coming out his exhaust. I called him to let him know. He said it was probably just running rich. A few minutes later a ton of smoke started pouring out. We pulled over and his engine bay was covered in oil. It was shooting out the valve cover whenever he would get into boost. So he believes the rings are gone. He decided to keep going and to stay out of boost. I am hoping he made it home ok.

He split off on 295 or something because it was quicker for him to get home.

So your telling me he made the least hp of the day and blew up?

Brian (neogenisis) made something like 250hp. Scott will prob post the graphs later. He thinks the rings went from the extra 6 degrees of spark he added in on the dyno.

On the bright side of things. I did give him a set of rings today for a 1.6.

Which car was Neogenesis?

I was very happy with my results. Ill post them later on since I gotta go get drunk now for Paul's bday.

Neo's was the silver metallic one, the last car to run on the dyno.

I got home, I'm going to the ABC store now.....

Anyone wanna buy a turbo miata? Has built in smoke screen to escape the police....

Ooops I thought you said brain not Brian. Damn that really sucks, didn't he just build it too?

sucks big time, the dyno graph or my ears didn't notice any detonation, nor did your knock sensor, maybe serious high egts from all that timing

yup. at least he didnt spend a lot on forged pistons. doh.

so my car had water coming out of the BOV? how would that even happen? Its vertical lol facing down. wtf! lol

I'm confused as hell: did :brain: blow his motor? Or neogenesis?

Brian - sorry to see the car have a not-so-happy ending. Do you remember the AFRs? Could you possibly have run rich and wash the ring landings, or do you think it's the timing? I guess when you tear into it you'll find out.

Lars - thanks for sticking w/ him. I had to meet my wife's co-workers for dinner and take them out as a belated wedding gift. No UFC last night...just recorded it. I was rooting for you in karting, even tried to help you out by PITting Kris...:laugh:

Tom - thanks for hosting the event, the hospitality, the tied time that race (22.068!), and everything else. Your house rocks, especially that garage floor. MUST DO. Good luck w/ the car, I'm dying to see it finished.

Scott - you bastard. I think you beat my fastest time during karting.

Tim - I can't say enough great things about the turbo kit you built me. It's friggin' wonderful! I guess once we get dynotune time down here, maybe we'll tune for 15 lbs. I was extremely happy with the power delivery, design, etc. Was a teensy bit bummed that we didn't hit 300whp....but we still didn't tune on a tune, just tweaked a bit. Plus, I suck at dyno pulls. Next time I'll be better, like start at 2,200rpms in 4th, instead of 4k...

Paul - thanks for a great base tune. Above 2k rpms, the car is a beast. I hope you had fun last night...happy birthday!

Artie - great meeting you finally! Thanks for helping Paul tune.

Everyone else: great meeting you all. Scott, thanks for saving us $4 by avoiding the tollbooths.

-Ed

neogenesis. Happened shortly after we got onto I95.

I think I like Pauls GF's, BruceW's, and Saint Foo's graphs the best...but looks like everyone is putting down some respectable numbers!:bigtu: I definitly need to get my car dyno tuned...I don't think I'm getting 100% out of it....its definitly running much richer than most of your's

all three of them are running too lean IMO 13's.
bruceW's is a N/a V8 so hes fine but the other too i wouldnt feel too comfortable with that. i like my 11.5 afr except after 6k when i drop to 10's wish i had more time to tune and make another 10-15 HP.
i had a blast tho and i will do it all over again.

I think it was the timing, definitely a broken ringland or 2, or 3, or 4. I drove it home making no more than 30psi oil pressure because if I got into boost it would just eject oil out of the breather and smoke out whoever was behind me. What blows my mind is that there was no ping on the dyno either heard or logged. I'm taking today off to cool down, over the next week I'm just going to do a stock rebuild of Brain's old block sitting in my garage and put that in the car, and swap the t3 60trim compressor back on. Then I'll just stick with 13-15psi to be safe and still have a fun car. Plus I need something to test my super (not so secret) WI project on.

I was very disappointed in my output, both in delivery and in total HP. I was expecting north of 275@19psi, so I think that compressor/trubine just are not a good match.

So today is pizza/football day, and I'll rebuild the motor during the week. Now to get Brain to convince his wife to let him have another Saturday off to help me swap motors....

My wbo2 has never matched their readings. I was logging 11.5:1, they for the past 5 years have always read 1 point leaner, even without a cat.

i wasn't holding boost and i hit 104 degrees IAT on the dyno so i need to get off my ass and get a bigger intercooler and totally redo my piping, oh and finally do my cops

Glad I came out, it was great seeing all the FI'd miatas--sucks about the motor Brian, I filmed all your runs and I didn't hear a single ping. To be honest though all the ping my car's knock sensor has picked up I never heard either so a set of det-cans begi style is probably in order.

Their wideband must be off...I have two, my stock OEM one and an AEM and both were reading 11-11.5:1 but his graph showed 12. Everyone else seemed to be lean also as the day wore on so theirs was probably off by at least .5. I am running a cat.

My car is reading 10.2s and his was 11.5s do you think his wb is off?

My money is on yes. My ecu was autotuning to 11.4 and his was reading me at like 12.5+.

The lack of video of the ruptured heater hose and ensuing geyser is fail. Miataspeed2005 took the faceful of coolant pretty well, though.

he's used to a face full of other liquids:jerkit::giggle:

lol jk.

Do you think you had the same issue as 18psi (although he was on the base map)? He was running with the adaptronic too. Just bought it so I don't want to make the same mistake.
