Ian, what pump did you end up buying? How many shims? I'm guessing that 25psi figure is fully warmed up? 25 psi was warmed up with 30 miles on it, just before parking it early Sunday morning. I need to go change the oil now and get the moly out of it. --Ian |
Sounds good. I think we have the same pump but as mine is an older production model, its listed as the "street/strip" version. Kinda funny how many things we ended up doing in parallel.

Curious about the damper and TB changes. Are you able to slip the TB around the damper, or are we talking about pulling it to change the TB?

Nice.

So I sent a rather detailed email to Full-Race about my 4 port EBC and dual port actuator boost control scheme trying to figure out if I should try the TurboSmart or Forge Motorsport IWG actuator. The response was... interesting.

New plan: Turbonetics Dual Port Wastegate Actuator PN 30326 and MAC 46A-AA1-JDBA-1BA 4 port EBC
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1423002131 Its got plenty of travel and I believe the spring is rated at 7psi, so I can cheat that a bit by playing with preload. I'll have to to the bracket dance, again, and I'll have to extend the pushrod, but none of these issues are impossible to overcome. I believe this is the actuator Leafy is using (as that's where I got the PN) though he hasn't hooked it up in a dual port configuration yet. Maybe I'll get there before he does. It's also $60~$70 at various locations around the interwebs so its about the same price as the BW "Low Boost" actuator. Let's see if I can waste more money! |

This also happened today:
Attachment 238335 Manifolds back! :yippee: Attachment 238336 Like everyone says, very griptape. Attachment 238337 ...and here is all the shit I've already scraped off the edges and out of the threads :rofl: |
Not sure how much force they have, but I have an electronic trunk release that might do the trick. On/Off controls would probably be easy too. Let me know.
|
I'm not sure what TSE carries, as there is no branding on their EBC, but his is night and day better response than the DIY EBC. Also it is easily half its size as well.

I have selective memory loss I swear!
I will not read up on this, I will not start another project. *repeats over and over again trying to stop hitting ctrl-T and searching 4 port boost controller* |
Its a feature of your current new project. You don't HAVE TO do it now, just make sure you get the dual port EWG so you can set this up LATER.
If course, I'm not sure you understand the concept of doing projects incrementally :giggle: |

I will not read up on this, I will not start another project. *repeats over and over again trying to stop hitting ctrl-T and searching 4 port boost controller* The standard EBC model is to have the solenoid control pressure on one side of the diaphragm with atomospheric pressure on the other side. This relies on the WG spring for all of the force to stop it from being blown open. Rule of thumb is that the max EBC pressure is 2x the mechanical spring pressure. With a two-port WG and a 4-port solenoid, activating the solenoid flips the boost pressure from one side of the diaphragm to the other. This provides assistance to the spring, which is supposed to allow a larger (not sure how much) ratio between the mechanical spring pressure and the EBC pressure. Combine this with TPS-bsaed boost control (doesn't work right in the MS3 right now, the code needs some tweaking) and you can get a much more linear throttle than would otherwise be available in a turbo car. This is the solenoid I bought:

I haven't actually tested it yet tho. --Ian |

wait, so you mean to tell me you guys don't want torque onset rike dis?

Ok, there is going to be a bit of a holdup on things for a while. I thought I made a mistake when I ordered my head and compounded that by making another mistake trying to rectify the first mistake. I should have just left things well enough alone. Emilio was gracious enough to help me sort it out and we have a path to move forward, but I get to wait for a while.
But that's OK, because I could probably use the time. I work at a snails pace and I have a bunch of other things I still need to sort out anyway. |

OK that sounds pretty cool. I'm down for linearity. Someone do all the hard work so I can has easiness.
I'm already expecting my 6258 to be pretty instant spool, compared to the 2860, so it'll be cool to see this in action once the ms3 coding is solved. |

My goal is to limit top end while maintaining response, then flipping the stupid switch and running MOREOFIT. Plus boost by gear. * Someone please correct me if I'm wrong |

From what I understand its the TPS based boost control that is the issue*, not the EBC code itself. You shouldn't have to make any changes to run this type of valve setup* other than minor plumbing and tuning of course. The Honda guys running the Hondata ECU have posted valve DC vs boost charts in various places but I can't imagine they are universal due to the differences in everyones turbo size/engine VE/exhaust restriction/timing/etc.

Plus boost by gear. * Someone please correct me if I'm wrong Whether or not the specific dual-port MAC solenoid will work well with the clock frequencies available on the MS3 can only be answered by trying it, and I haven't gotten that far yet. I was trying TPS-based boost control on my MS3 last summer and it didn't work well. I remember looking through the code and thinking I'd figured out why, although I've since forgotten the details. :) After that I got distracted by trying to fix the sync errors, and then it was Laguna, and you know the rest. --Ian |
