The diff is blown, there is nothing i can do.


So who wants to help?

 

diff swaps are like 2 hours max

 

im with him, buy a dif, a stock one if u have to, just the dif, have it shipped to ur door " over night parts from jaaapaaan"
then swap it, and get ur *** on the dyno

or look around in ur area, and find one like that, buy it quick, then swap it fast,
like y8 said, 2 hour job, then come and hang out,

i want to see as many turbo miatas as i can

 

Great idea Matt!

My estimate: same psi=285rwhp, very little loss below 6k "could be due to dyno error", horrible off-idle driveability.

If the low throttle driveability sucks I'd like to see what the OEM throttle body would do on that manifold. But whatever.

I hope I'm wrong cause that manifold looks easy to make and would be an easy upgrade.

 

why not do what everyone else does. download the MSPNP9093 map, and modify it for your injectors and go from there....hell it's what i ended up doing last weekend to get mine running.

 

Unless the axles are stuck in the hubs like a ************. Took me an extra hour and luckily my neighbor had a pulley puller that we could fit over the hub and a 3 foot breaker bar to use. We beat the hell out of it with a hammer and it didn't budge.

Axle nuts were easy to get off. If I had it to do over, I'd remove the hub and find a big press to press the axles out.

we broke an axle puller

 

If you rember my thread, me and BRGracer tried everything and couldent get the MS to work. We tried EVERYTHING, its eaither the MS or my car..

Im getting a 1.8l swap shipped to me, but wont be here till next week..


So does anyone wanna try helping?

 

its not like ill have a car to dyno....bring an iron, solder and some wire just in case....we can tinker.

 

What're you doing pulling the axles out of the hubs? Just pop em out of the diff with a pry bar!

 

did you not hammer it?

 

BFH, air hammer, axle puller...none worked. so we just replaced the hub

 

U guys make me not want a 99 torsen :/

 

is fine. mine pulled out by hand.

 

I did, but are you suggesting just selling the axles with the hubs still attached? I need to move the car around before I get the CTS diff and custom axles.

FWIW, I made a very efficient remover with long bolts and an inch thick chunk of steel plate.

Put four holes in the plate the same as the bolt pattern of the wheel studs.

Knock out two wheel studs and put the long bolts in their place, through the plate and tighten the plate toward the axle with a couple of nuts. If it doesn't move, add two bolts, repeat.

 

I wouldn't say everything, but I have a feeling it's your car since we plugged my working/running MS + ecu into your car and it still didn't work.

 

bad news guys, i just blew my radiator :/

maybe a rock hit it, or somthing, but theres a hole in it lol

coolant all over my driveway....

 

I just wanna see a car run with my MS... just to be sure

 

just swapped my radiator! woot woot!
im still going!
