so your car is running 26psi? Nice. We'll have to meet up when I'm back in Cali.
don't forget to subtract 100kpa for atmo ;) |
I was under the impression that the pressure sensor in my MS would only go up to 22psi, so something is rotten in the state of Denmark. Or I can't maths. (probably the can't maths) But regardless of how much boost it makes, the best description I can come up with for this car is from my brother who says, and I quote "this is friggin' retarded" and "I'm probably going to die" :rofl:
I need to drive it up to @gesso's house so he can drive it and motivate him to get the Exofish (or Catsocet or Gessocet or whatever its called these days) in the 100kpa+ range :party: What I REALLY need to do is put new valve stem seals in it and flash it to 1.4.x :bang: |

What you need to do is bring it to the NCR meet on Thursday. :)

I thought of that, but I wasn't sure! Ok so 12 ish psi. that is less impressive, but still awesome, if its that fast on 12psi.

yes, absolutely. holla at me when ready. my guess is 300 on the local mustang dyno as it sits.
My life and job have become really chaotic recently. When I actually have free time to relax I've had near zero motivation to touch anything car related. :( |
Wow, I think the starter in the Miata just died. No clicking, turn the key and all electrical just goes away. I'm going to pull the battery and give it a solid charge just to see what happens, but it's been getting flaky for a while.
|
Goddammit. I just opened the hood a remembered how impossible it is to get to the starter on a BP :vash:
|
That's what a lift is for. :)
Did you try the tap-it-with-a-hammer thing? --Ian |
Yeah, that's on my list of things to do. I haven't touched it yet as I had to be somewhere this morning.
Also, is it really any easier to get to the starter from the bottom? I feel like the subframe is always in the way no matter what. At one point I was very close to buying a V8R subframe simply for the weight reduction and better clearance. Of course, if I wanted to save 10lbs I could save myself $800 and just loose some weight ;) |

The lift makes it easier than trying do it lying on your back because you've got a better angle. --Ian |
I always end up popping the front wheel off as well so I can reach through from the wheel-well easier.
