What have you done to your Miata today?

[Tungsten6]

Dyno vid up, thanks tungsten

No problemo.
I too dyno'd mine just for s****.
I knew my car was healthy but damn! more than happy with this

 

[subspeed6]

That's a nice curve you got there. Very smooth.

 

[aMaff]

112 on a dynojet = healthy for a VICS / VVT motor? (boom07)

 

[Tungsten6]

My car makes 142 at the crank.
How is 112 at the wheels bad?

 

[aMaff]

My stock build 1.6L made 114 on a dynojet. Stock ECU, stock flapper-valve air meter. I figured a 1.8L VICS / VVT motor would best that easily. That's why I'm surprised.

 

[Tungsten6]

a stock 1.6 with 200k on it did 92.

 

[aMaff]

a stock 1.6 with 200k on it did 92.

Yep. Mine, with a bunch of stuff wrong (including the timing belt set a tooth off) made 82 when I first got it. Not sure how that's relevant tho.

 

[mx-p5]

no, a stock 1.6 with 200K plus also dyno'd 92 right after us, he was just spouting random facts

 

[aMaff]

no, a stock 1.6 with 200K plus also dyno'd 92 right after us, he was just spouting random facts

Yeah I got that. Still irrelevant lol

 

[mx-p5]

lol, ok

found good bits of news

1) Link still makes the serial adapter, but no word on price and it'd have to be shipped from New Zealand (guessing $65-70 plus shipping)
2) a guy on miataturbo also builds them on his own PCB for $45
3) It still looks like I can build on myself for under $20

 

[princess peach]

since I assume you're going to keep the car for a while, I say get it from Link. That's just me though, I like to have the original stuff (and I',m usually too lazy to make my own)

 

[mx-p5]

just waiting to hear a price, but yeah, i'm thinking i'll buy from Link, if not from the guy on miataturbo

 

[bazooka joe]

checked under the cover to make sure she was still there...she said hi!

 

[WillD]

I should check on mine when I get home from work! Just a couple more months of hibernation.

 

[princess peach]

tomorrow is supposed to be warn so I'll give her a wash

 

[WillD]

You're not lying 52 and sunny!

 

[Tungsten6]

So I started my car this morning and when I got to the stop sign pushed in the clutch and I hear a grinding noise.
Car still feels fine to me, but that damn noise is not good at all.

Recorded a video as well

 

[aMaff]

Sounds like a dead throwout bearing, from it doing it every time you press the clutch.

 

[aMaff]

The only thing I am concerned about is that dip at 6200-6300 RPMs and then the spike back up.

I think the answer lies in this video, if you watch carefully at about 1:23.

Someone fat-fingered something in the tune there...

 

[mx-p5]

i noticed that too as i watched the vid, but missed it as it was happening
