Not yet...
I will make a dyno run in spring time. Then we will can compare to roots and rotrex 's boost, Hp and torque curves. my boost is not reaching more than 8psi because I must have a leak in my new piping setup. I will fix this later. I've started my engine rebuild during this winter. |

With all those couplers I would still do a leak test. I have piping routed almost the same with a ton of couplers and I was leaking a tiny tiny bit and never knew it until I did a boost leak test.

Seeing less boost, is normal when you add an intercooler(with a SC). When the air cools the density goes up, and the pressure goes down. Check your datalogs for injector pulse width. If your pulse widths have stayed the same, or increased, without a change in AFR, then you don't have a leak.

After looking at some photos... you need to invest in t-bolt clamps. The worm drive clamps are useless.
|
Well, I bought some T clamps.
But at the intake manifold, I have a silicon hose (grey) and it is more slim than the others and my T clamp can hold it tight enough. So I've put a worm clamp. I need a smaller T clamp or a new silicon hose (4 ply or something) for it. You're right, I will go full T clamp in the future ;) |

Engine is out for rebuild!

Engine open but big surprise...
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1327829840 rings broken https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1327829840 And 3 pistons damaged https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1327829840 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1327829840 I was planning to keep the OEM pistons for the rebuild... :( |
That is so strange looking... Your secondary compression rings show much less damage, and no extruding the groove out as in the top ring. Its probably a lean condition with some deto causing that.

Here's another picture https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1327861312 For Info: -rev limiter set at 5000rpm -100miles done with the supercharger -max boost 8psi -AFR 10 at full throttle Maybe rings were like this for before... |
Picture of top of pistion? It looks like you can see some pocking of the aluminum near the top on the side which would indicate the piston was overheated. Again excessive lean condition indication. Still I've never seen piston ring do that to the top Lan. My first thought was who assembled this thing, but from your post it looks like Mazda did it! ;)

Piston n°1 (ring OK)
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1327862518 Piston n°2 (ring KO) https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1327862518 Uploaded with ImageShack.us |
Those little light colored spots indicate detonation. What were you using to control the spark timing when the engine was in boost?
|
nice. but why,.. on my golf 2 rallye, it was removed and a autorotor screw type sc installed instead. much better(but noisy as nothinge else)

I use 98 octane gasoline but it was not enough to prevent detonations at this time. |
Temp is pretty irrelevant, you should still be able to tune the car to not det.
I've had extended 150degC intake temps on track, pulled the head and not a hint of detonation. |
Well, I'm confused.
I though I was running in a kind of secure mode (8psi, 10 AFR, 5000rpm, 10 BTDC). So I don't know why. Any ideas? |
I realise that my spakplugs maybe a bit responsible, they're maybe too hot.
I will order NGK bkr7e-11 |

I didn't make any tuning yet. Only use theory.
I though old engine could handle 100miles like this. Here, was the plan: -Finish the install of the supercharger, -rebuild the engine before going further. (it was needed...) -make fuel and spark tuning Maybe engine was "fragile" before supercharging it |
