My first turbo maiter
 

I've been working on my car for about 2 days now (about 6 hours total) and this is all I have to show for myself.

:facepalm:

get back to work then lol

and then flip the IC around!

Wish I could, but work has to come first

Not a big fan of FM?

your car will blow up if you dont flip it around! its a bad omen...

Oh god

:laugh:

Has nothing to do with FM. Even if it read: "BONER MACHINE" I'd just rather it be flipped around...personally I'd rather it be entirely black.

:laugh:

I'd rather have it say BONER MACHINE

Or just BM

That F can easily be touched up to a B;)

Why are you not out on the streets racing...

I got five on it!

Looks like I need to duplicate my setup.

(I suck at photoshop)

next time try blur > lens blur. and maybe some motion blur because it looks like you rested the camera on your junk to take the picture.

Check part out thread. I'm going bigger.


I did race a C6 vette before I took everything off though. Got him by a couple cars and held him off til about 110. after 100 he started reeling me in but I let off:giggle:

you need more hours in your days

Dick!

Do you guys cut here aswell?

depends on the turbo. I have a large T3 and never had to touch it.

It was a huge pain, to make matters worse I only had a hacksaw.

I figured I'd be one of the unlucky few that had to cut

you just needed the right tool for the job

I was going to cut and weld it, but decided a large hammer would do the same job just as well.

We've made good progress since Craig brought the car to the shop and we put it on the lift. We're down to installing the BTM, the FM computer and the guages. I expect the car to be running today, if we don't run into issues...

Oh, and I welded shut that big gap where Craig cut the inner fender area for the turbo to clear. It's painted and looks much nicer now...

I opted for the non-fm side... and I love FM. It just looks cleaner. Of course that is just my humble awesome badass opinion.

Well today was a good day, and Craig got to drive the car. It's overpowering the clutch and making a bunch more boost than I'd prefer, but he's gonna be on the phone w/FM tomorrow... Overall the instal went well, and now having done one, I'm guessing I could do one in a weekend.

Here are a few pics of his build:

Intercooler fail.

Where can i get a "Boner Machine" IC?

just gotta put a Color Me Badd cd on...

:confused:

Three pages in this thread and I see a handfull of useful info... Is this the "norm" on Miataturbo.net?

it is.

You mean a lot of info or very little info?

Its pretty mixed, sometimes a thread will be packed with great tech info, other times it will have no good tech info (but lots of hilarity)

Pretty good mix, Id say
