I seriously Burst out laughing when I read this. Thank you..
You guys are great.

No you hang up.

Why you got cool RHD NC? Oh I see - image reversed using MS paint techniques - wurd

Y'all postin' in a Florida thread.

So much torques it be twisting gravity and shit.

They are producing a kit that will work with both LHD and RHD NC's, that is why they have the RHD one.

If you're not being facetious, look at the lettering on the rail car behind it.

no, I banned him for his insult.

I am serious about them building their kit for both RHD and LHD NC's. They brought up that they had imported one from Aussieland I believe in the thread about their manifold designs. I honestly have no clue what picture people are referring to and what lettering I should look at.

Look at the picture of the "RHD" NC in this thread. Look at the lettering on the rail car behind the "RHD" NC.

I see the pic, I'm missing the part where he claimed it was a RHD car...

You can see the instrument hood on the dash.

EDIT: blackone didn't claim that car was RHD, Genesplicer just made a joke about it the pic being reversed. That's all.

What insult?

post 56.

I don't see it. :dunno: Seems to me that he was going out of his way NOT to insult you and a couple other people. But you're the boss and I'm not gonna argue.

I was more or less accusing of more photochopping... the "RHD" came from his pic being flipped horizontally, given away by "elpoep rac knat eht" on the rail car behind.


edit - I missed where Mark explained it... sorry

funny thread is funny.

lulz at TDR being bannded. You guyz are the funnies. Seriously, no sarcasm: best online community ever.

*edit to add after reading the M.net thread*

I mean, Leonid asked honest questions, and so did mr. concealer. It's just marketing and people lapping it up. Wow.

I commend Brain for his excellent use of his ban stick.

So im tossing around the idea of an NC, so started looking at BOOST options besides this shenanigans here. Started looking and found Begi's kit for like 3600...hmmm, not bad. Then I saw tuning options, which added like 1K, so I wanted to see if those are the only options, seems high but im used to these GM PCMs that can just be reflashed cheaply...whatever, cant find much, so I just got the m.net and search Begi.


Find a thread about Moto-east modifying the Begi kit. This interests me. Begin to read and I realize how much of a clown this blackbone guy is.

Mike @ moto-east posts his a pic 3 yr old begi manifold (im assuming to show that its still in good shape), and talks about some of the upgrades he wants to make, mainly about PS routing and charge pipe routing.

Then clearly states he has another new one for a customer.
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1383277227

The this guy steps in
Seems harmless right, just a little respect for the competition.
Then a whole 11 mins later...
Now im new at the whole trubo thing but I dont see a crack, and then of course the TDR (not the real TDR) lover can also see this phantom crack and posts up about how it was a "good catch" by blackone.

Then Mike says
Then blackone
Then someone who can read says that its for a customer, and Blackones response is
Looked like TDR trying to bring up bad shit, I call Shenanigans, would never do business with this fool.

Thread for you guys
http://forum.miata.net/vb/showthread...highlight=begi

Its obvious that Blackbone is a serious piece of shit. The evidence just piles up.
Its fucked up that someone would try to run a business with this kind of shady bullshit going on.

It doesn't look good for someone who already has a questionable rep to troll other vendors. It makes it hard to tell if the "Korky" was passive-aggressive, or just not paying attention.

When you have that kinda rep, everything little thing you do gets looked at with a different light.

A+++ trolling from Jay.

"Oh wow I see a crack in a place that you can't actually see in the picture."

I mean you can see where the weld is on the #3 runner, but not much else. There could be a 1/4" gap and I'm pretty sure it couldn't be seen from that pic. Truly a master at work. Too bad he's trying to run a business, he would fit right in here otherwise.

Korky didnt even post in that thread...

Maybe I'm the idiot. I thought he spells his name Corky. I was referring to how the other guy spelled Corky's name.

Correct, but you used quotes so I thought you were actually referring to Corky, not the dude who kept calling him Korky.

Nah, I was using them to just highlight the spelling situation. Probably used quote marks incorrectly. Anyway, :party:

I had to have my manifold rebuilt by Corky due to cracks as well. As far as the picture where Jay sees the "phantom crack" goes, take a look at where the weld is on runner number 3. You will see a dark line running along the edge of the weld.

I'm assuming that this was what he was referring to. It looks like the weld is separating from the main and allowing exhaust gas to seep through as evidenced by the carbon on the edge of the weld.

Good thread.

[Supercharging] The FASTREDRAT is dead. - MX-5 Miata Forum

tl;dr -- NC engine asplodes and send the #1 piston through the oil pan, car gets crispy, owner still quite confident that his tune from Jay @ TDR has nothing to do with it.

I love reading m.net this quite pretty much sums it up

Lol, typical, taking a real useful figure of RWHP, and turning it into some made up arbitrary figure which sounds impressive.

Dann

WTF are they smoking? I can't even draw myself over there to follow your link. I resist going over there with great success.

It was dynojet, so it was already an arbitrary figure that sounds impressive. They just took that shit it to another level.

Pics of carnage.

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1384218090

lol @ horsepower. "212 rwhp = 280hp becuz probably 250 at the crank but 30 to spin the blower"

https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/i...cHISRunJI7dpVz

they said that about the Sniper tune when it first came out too, then Cosworth acutally started shipping pistons with the SC kit. Meanwhile Corky was boosted well over 300rwhp without issues on a good tune.

Yep. My car was the first turbo outside of the BEGi shop. I was making WELL over 300 at 16psi with an Xede and water/meth. Easy as pie. I still don't understand the appeal of the supercharger.

Does anyone have any ideas what might have happened here? My guess has been pre-ignition. Can't think of what else might have caused such a violent failure.

Hi Yall
My Name is Wally,
I Just Bought me a brand spanking new 2014 Mx5(first new car in 8 years:) ) and Im thinking of boosting it.
Thought Id Post here since this is the "Turbo" forum afterall, any expert advise would be much appreciated fellas.
So my budget is pretty much 8k,
Im thinking that's a good start for a turbo kit and a mild suspension upgrade.(maybe konis and FM spring) read good stuff about this combo

Ive also read good reviews of The Special Force Kit that TDR has on their website. Did some reading on Miata.net as well, all seems positive.

So any advice before I pull the trigger?
Any short comings that are not apparent to amateurs on this kit?

Btw Id do lots of track driving, So reliability is a must.

And please no supercharger advise, I want a turbo. Period

Thanks in advance Folks
Wally

Why would anyone buy a turbo kit from Tuning Done Rong?

OK. Who is this really? :lol:

Most appropriate first post ever.

What do you mean?
Its a legitimate question... If I said something wrong, Id like to be corrected. That's how we learn.
Im looking for factual advice that will lead to either yay or nay.
And a more welcoming tone from an "Enthusiasts" forum.

If this is the wrong forum for advice, Ill go else where

Wally

You didn't make an intro post in the newb section and you made a completely irrelevant request for advice in a thread about specific events. You should probably start with an intro post and then either ask your question within that thread or create a build thread of your own and solicit advice there. You would probably get much better advice or direction.

Posting this in the meet and greet section of the forum would probably be a better place to get more potentially helpful advice, as this thread is a year old and the original poster has been banned.

My Apologies Ryan G.
I was eager for quick advice and skipped on the ceremonial intro steps.
As to start my Own thread, Im still trying to figure this thing out. Never posted on a forum before, Ive always just been a reader.

as for the friendly rating of this forum, Cant say its quiet High.
Wouldn't want to make a mistake in a post, could attract the vultures.

Waly

Thanks for the Advice Sir.
Could you please indicate where the meet and greet section is?

Wally

Wally,

Please don't bother wasting keystrokes telling us how unfriendly we are. Just start reading. Believe me: you're not the first to tell us we are harsh, and you won't be the first to change the way things are. Stay awhile and you might find you like it.

It is about etiquette. Every social interaction has certain cultural norms.
You are possibly unfamiliar with what is the expected norm in this situation and are being politely directed in the proper avenue for proceeding.

Meet and Greet - Miata Turbo Forum - Turbo Kitten is watching you test compression.

As far as your question. Its been asked a million times which is why these folks don't like repeating information.

As a small guide to a newbie, go in each section and read the stickies.

I'll get you started.
Prefabbed Turbo Kits - Miata Turbo Forum - Turbo Kitten is watching you test compression.
DIY Turbo Discussion - Miata Turbo Forum - Turbo Kitten is watching you test compression.

Someone was telling me about yet another Tuning Done Rong turbo'd/tuned NC blowing up a couple weeks ago. Might have been Erat.

Its the same guy who had the red NC go up in flames

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1404916205

this is what he said about it:

And his reason for not running a standalone:


:dealwithit:

Hahhahahaa sounds like a flaming bag of fail.

Shame he didnt go in flames with it.

This whole area is a breeding ground for dumbasses. It makes people living in DC area (3 hours away) look like geniuses.

Where are the threads with the info about the new motors going boom?

He posted it in the local miata facebook group, got told to stop wasting money on Tuning Done Right, and promtly left the group.
