*Mazda of the Month 2.0* VOTE now for February!

[cityracer]

no idea on whp #'s, but I am running 20psi wastegate controlled (tial big blue + little red springs) through that gt30r. Also it's a hybrid precision turbo cast housing . the turbine is a .48a/r~.63 compressor. supposedly it flows more cfms then the standard garrett gt30r...

Right now 21lbs, I haven't bothered putting the external waste gate on for the winter, it has a 1bar spring and due to the extreme cold (on some days) the map sensor on the SDS EIC goes bananas and I have to turn the SDS off and turn the boost down to 10lbs (at -30 celcius). It just spins anyway.
I have seen 24lbs in 5th but the current waste gate can't hold it. Everything I have read states 21lbs to be the most on a T3 but it's been boosting that for 25 000KM (for a 100$ junk yard turbo it's treated me well)(just before winter I picked up a matching spare in great shape for 150$).
So when the weathers nicer the external waste gate goes on and I will find out this turbo's limit.
It should be running a T3/T4 right now (Last summer I came across a great deal on a larger turbo, didn't plan on upgrading but the price was right so I took some of the money I have been saving to buy a turbonetics GT series for the 88MX6 GT and sent it to the seller, I received nothing. )

I have worked on many cars, the simplicity, durability and potential of the F2T always amazes me, Mazda took a nap in the 90's (Miata's and 7 aside) and came back to life when they released the MP3 then the Speed protege ...


That's funny, I have been watching the poll and you where the last one to get votes, every car here deserves votes, I know how I felt when I had none, had no one voted for you, you where getting mine (not out of pity, but because you love your car, put it out here and deserve to be recognized).

Thanks for the vote. Nice to hear the F2T's aren't forgotten by those who have driven them.

I think that rating is an efficiency rating. Turbos at a certain boost point depending upon design provide the most cfms. Below or beyond that range, they will not produce any more cfm. You also tend to see significantly higher charge temps beyond a turbos efficiency range which is not so good. 1bar of pressure from one turbo is not the same as 1 bar of pressure through another turbo. (uhm) It all comes down to tuning though, and properly approached is just a blast. (spin)

(My torque vs his Hpr).

that would be stupid. considering its easier for the f2t to hit 350wtq then it is for it to hit 250whp. lol. got to love the truck motor showing itself.

Thanks for the vote. Nice to hear the F2T's aren't forgotten by those who have driven them.

i forgot about them once i got my built fe-dohc swapped into the 626gt.

im still doing a even bigger f2t build on my 92pgt though. and my daily 2.2 n/a takes the abuse like the ***** she is. lol

theres a little more too it than that, but you are on the right track haha

mr_mazda329 got my vote mainly cuz he is a fellow SCCA member, but by gawd, a boosted miata? im not one for miatas, but i bet that thing is more fun to drive than my rx-8 on juice.

I'm pretty sure the outcome is set. I would like to extend congratulations to MSP03.5 for a well deserved win this month. You have a very nice car, that I am honored to lose to.

Of course the same goes for all the competitors this month. I was truly honored to compete with such a wide variety of very nicely done custom cars. I wish you all the best as we all continue to make our automotive dreams a reality.
