My Greddy Problem
so i finally took my miata with the greddy kit out for a drive. the boost gauge is hooked up (the vacuum was on the throttle body ) when i full throttled the boost gauge didnt read past 0 psi and the vacuum read 15. i made sure all the clamps were tightened. there is no intercooler but a made a cross pipe out of aluminum pipes i dont have pic right now. but just used your imagination
90 miata greddy 1.6 no intercooler stock injectors ill take a pic soon if needed |
Well, to determine if your gauge is working, does your car feel a whole lot faster now?
If not, I'd say your wastegate actuator rod isn't hooked up or needs tightening. |
I agree, sounds like a wastegate issue. Just out of curiosity why didn't you just use the stock crossover tube?

heres the pics of the set up and where i vacuumed the guage at
this is the vacuum source Attachment 214349 and here what the set up looks like Attachment 214350 Attachment 214351 Attachment 214352 |
just excuse the half ass shit on the car. my car had a deadline at the shop where i was working on it at so there was some stuff that was rushed just so i can drive it home.
|
as far as i can tell it looks hooked up correctly, so I'd be looking for kinks in the line i guess or a blame a bad gauge....also, how do your fans kick on?
|
you wont believe how i did the fan its really embarrassing. i tried wiring the fan normally except i couldn't get any power off the yellow wire and all i had was an hour before i had to leave the shop so i took like 20ft of wire and ran it threw the car all the way to the battery. OMFG i know. the guage is not kinked i guess its a bad gauge (son of a bitch) but the car home now so i can take my time on the touch ups and re wiring shit

This is the history of the car. just so everyone that reads this. I crashed my NA miata the Week After i ordered my GReddy
From this Attachment 214339 TO THIS Attachment 214340 then bought this body for $200 Attachment 214341 and started transfering everything over from one miata to the new one in the jungle Attachment 214342 pulled out the shitty old motor from that $200 car Attachment 214343 after the jungle i got the car towed to my uncle body shop and he let me work in there for like 2 months then i had to leave. heres a list of everything i swapped over -doors -dash with ignition switch(so i can keep the same key) -full interior (carpet and seats and hand brake) - my soft top -a fender -trunk lid -key lock for the truck lid -motor,trans,diff, drive shaft -thank god i didnt have to drop the tank -fuel pump -lights Heres some pics i found this is when i first bought it when it had this red soft top Attachment 214344 then i bought the black one Attachment 214345 Attachment 214346 Attachment 214347 Attachment 214348 |

too much BOOOOOSt. |
the road was slippery when wet and i lost control while taking a hard right slammed into a wall..could of been avoided if i counter steered right (because i did it wrong)
|
that sucks
|
yes crashing is pretty shitty worst feeling ever in life i think, because you try to avoid it but you still know you are fucked any way
