whats up guys? my name is nick and live in central ohio(sucks) i have a boosted 92 miata that i hope to have running about 17-20 lbs. of boost this summer!! the seen here is full of FAST focus, and civics!!! (thats a joke!!!!!) so i hope to be able to hang with them!!!!!

anybody else in central ohio hit me up

 

welcome.

What do you have done so far?

 

what rods and pistons your running?

 

How many spare motors do you have?

 

How many spare transmissions do you have?

What power do you want?

 

how many pc pros is that?

 

How many spare ********* do you have to replace all of the ***** these guys have broken?

 

well considering i ran 14lbs. on a tdo5 greddy kit 17lbs shoulnd be a problem at all!!! and trans. and motors isnt the problem its rear ends!! ive been through 4!

 

err get a 1.8 rear end...

 

got torsen now!!!!!

 

Now to get a clue.

 

a clue?

 

and to answer your question LoKio47... i have a fresh t25 with a s.s. manifold, 2.75 in s.s downpipe,a acu 1.8 injectors ,spearco front mount intercooler 2.5 in. exhaust rising rate reg. fadanza flywheel act stage 3 clutch and a msd booost controller and im sure more thay in missing also looking to by a link in the near future...

 

Link? Pshaw buy a MS from Cjerigan. Hes awesome.. and not bad on the eyes either.

 

is a t25 still efficient at 17psi?

 

^ No.

 

Depends on which one. No journal bearing T25 will push more than about 15psi, like if it's off a DSM or Nissan stock application. I think a GT2554r will already bring negative returns at 17psi, and a GT2560 will be at the limit if not slightly over it. When you're talking about those levels, most guys are running GT28's or even GT30's.

However, your posts indicating the desire for 17-20psi means you simply haven't done enough homework. Your stock block won't last til the end of the summer if you put 20psi through it... maybe won't last the tuning session. And there's no way you're running more than about 15psi unless you've got something in the way of EMS. Your bandaid setup is OK, but the fuel curve of the stock ECU limits you. As your AF's are indeed a "curve", you run rich on tip-in, then go lean through the midrange, then go REALLY RICH up top. To stay in the power up top, you'll run dangerously lean midrange... it's a losing proposition at the point where more boost means you run leaner and leaner in the midrange and get ZERO extra power up top cause the charge is so hot... then you knock... then you go boom.

My strong advice is to CHOOSE A POWER GOAL!!! How much power do you want to make? Then your current setup, assuming it's quality components (you didn't list any brand names), should be good for about 8psi unless you've got an upgraded fuel pump... if upgraded, you should be set for about 12psi. Did you mean to write "Bipes ACU"... if so, set base timing to 14* and start pulling 8* total at the lowest RPM and max pull for temp. That plus 93octane should put you at 190-200whp.

Your next upgrade is for Megasquirt and 460's/550's. Sell your MSD boost controller cause MS does EBC onboard. With your ACT clutch, you're set for as much power as you can squeeze from your T25, depending on the model, shoot for 15psi and about 240whp.

OH, and I hope for the time-being you're running your BOV recirculated. Honestly though, this board has all the advice you'll ever need.

My second recommendation is DON'T LISTEN TO YOUR HONDA BUDDIES ABOUT TURBO'ING YOUR MIATA!!! Things work differently in our world and some things that are Holy Grail to Honda types simply don't translate.

 

listen to samnavy, he's been through the broken parts to know what he's talkin bout. I go up through Ohio once or so a year to Mantua (near akron). But yeah forget the link, get the megasquirt and def. some bigger injectorz. Welcome to hell.

 

thanks for the advice and yes its a bipes,and i do have a walbro 255 ho. pump. and it is a rebuild nissan turbo

i ran my tdo5 greggy kit at 14 lbs. and knowone could beleive how well it ran!!and for the record i hate honda's and demestic rice!!!! i have a couple of buddys that have ran a simmular kit and w/ a bit more fuel and have ran 17lbs. fine. and i do have a t3t4 for that goal as soon as i get better management. do you guys know anyone that has one for sale?

thanks

and Jayc72 what do you have? (im guessing a clue?)
