FYI - #9 and #11 are probably the same person, as miatamaniac (me) is Jonathan Rubin

 

An updates? I just now pulled my fuel filter, and what came out of it was milky and brown. So I hope that that was my problem.

EDIT: It wasn't.

Not going to make it obviously. Hope you guys had fun and took lots of pictures.

 

I have safely secured lowest hp/trq of the day .

That is all.


Well... and a great turn out, we do have a decent non-ricer miata showing in the area, great to see.

 

Nice meeting everyone! Ill post pics and videos later.

 

Anyone manage to beat 256.9hp after I left?

 

275.2

 

Damn! Nice going! Time to build me a manifold?

I hope you're built...

 

Thanks everyone for coming out. I'm hoping that everyone can post some results and some quick setup info so we can all have numbers to look at and compare for similar setups. We will be doing this again around march to see what the off season tinkering improves. So keep a look out then and get to work!

Mine will be there:-)

 

Stock turbo @~11-12psi with pegged 10.5 afr and conservative timing.

Like Dan said. I should be proud, first miata ever to make more torque then hp. Overall I'm happy, not too bad for literally just doing the basic's for tuning the megasquirt. I'm confident the more I learn I'll be able to extract more out of it. Gonna let Dan and my other buddy take a look at the logs etc and see where to go from there.

 

Well folks.. got my upper manifold back from Jeff. Haha.

 

Thanks to you and 2manyhobyz for setting it up. I had a blast and it was nice meeting you all. Didn't get the numbers I was looking for but I know why and what things I need to address. Left a lot on the table with a really jagged off tune. 9 to 1 AFRs at max boost really killed it but got the baseline I needed and didn't break anything. Will be driving it to work tomorrow. A victory albeit a bitter sweet one. Met some good people and saw some very cool cars. I consider it a win.



Cant wait for the next one. Next weekend sound good? LMAO!

 

Hah yea. I'm down for next week.

Your in Tinley Park? I'm in South Holland.

 

The badest ride there! to bad it would have broken the dyno if he tried muhaha


Jeff (2manyhobbys) cleanest set up ever!! and the car is a beast!

Dave's gem (splitime) yea this thing actully got the drums to turn on the dyno! Such a clean car!

 

Jeff (lordrigamus) This car gets the sleeper award! Also put some nice numbers down on the dyno. ps the catch can is trademarked.



I dont remembers whos car this is, Rotex supercharged?

 

oh and Matt (stick) in deep thought

 

 

Great event! It was fun seeing bot familiar faces as well as meeting new ones. ILL made a fantastic host. I look forward to future gatherings as well. Thanks to everyone that made this possible! Stick/Hotwheels/Hobbies!

Oh and for second worse dyno numbers of the day see my run (engine mods: fresh oil, no CEL, working cat ie none)




TIL: I need a turbo

 

I need to tune my car and open up the exhaust, I also suspect wheel spin...

 

I get the award for weakest Miata of the day. No too bad for 6 psi, I actually expected less HP. I'm hoping to hit 200+ after the winter maintenance/upgrade goodies.

Thanks again to everyone for setting this up. It was a blast!
