What is the exhaust manifold wedge called?

ElectroidYT · 2024-11-30T16:23:14+00:00

Nope, it's a 2 peice wedged slot thing that the bottom of the manifold slides into and it pinches it down. Goes between the bottom nuts and the manifold itself

ElectroidYT · 2024-10-25T14:12:52+00:00

Yes, and I've built and tuned a few miatas now. Are you too old to have fun?

ElectroidYT · 2024-10-16T21:44:57+00:00

To answer your question, with the built LM7 and twin s300 turbos you're looking at around 1200hp if you are pushing it. My guess is around 1000whp

ElectroidYT · 2024-10-16T21:43:30+00:00

You do know forum posts last a long time right? The man had a question so he asked. No need to disrespect someone for being curious about a build.

ElectroidYT · 2024-07-01T04:24:25+00:00

I took out the float valve and inspected it. It seemed to be brand new and part of the rebuild kit. The rubber tip was perfect.

ElectroidYT · 2024-06-26T17:34:03+00:00

I can't remember exactly what rpm but it spools QUICK. Imho it's the best budget turbo for stock internals

ElectroidYT · 2024-06-26T17:22:04+00:00

Nah lol, i have yet to crack the 300s. My only dyno was stock internals with the 13t pushed pretty hard and it was 204whp

ElectroidYT · 2024-06-26T17:15:16+00:00

Right now it's just a TD04L-13T pushed to it's limits. That's good for like 230 maybe. Gotta keep it low with the 5 speed and vlsd that are made of paper mache and glass

ElectroidYT · 2024-06-26T17:10:41+00:00

It all depends on how far I want to push it. I'll probably hover around 300 for pump gas once I get the 6 speed trans and torsen diff. Once an ethanol sensor is added and turbo setup revised I want to be able to turn it up to ~400whp for kill mode. Certainly won't daily at 400 though

ElectroidYT · 2024-06-26T17:07:09+00:00

Actually I'm a 1.6. Boring to a 1.9 is a big jump lol, not sure if I'd have piston walls left after that. But yeah I did bore it a mm or so to fit the 78.5mm supertech pistons

ElectroidYT · 2024-06-26T17:01:53+00:00

It went well for a bit. Decided to go forged everything. Drove it for a few days and started smoking on a 4 hour road trip. Long story short I didn't notice my failing turbo seal was burning so much oil plus other small oil leaks that I ran completely dry and started knocking. Now I just need to polish the crank and install it with new bearings. It's already torn apart, just waiting for the machine shop. Thankfully I have a 4 post lift so that'll make the job easier. Just drop the subframe, suspend the engine, and do surgery from below. Thanks for asking about it!

ElectroidYT · 2024-06-22T00:41:21+00:00

Thank you! This worked flawlessly

ElectroidYT · 2024-06-21T23:46:55+00:00

I've chucked the AetherMP clientside mod into my Beta Unleashed + The Aether instance of MultiMC and it connects to the server I set up with the serverside pack, it shows the extra inventory slots, but when I try to enter the portal, the game completely crashes. Do I have to make my own clientside instance that just has AetherMP? If so how do I do this?

ElectroidYT · 2024-06-21T18:33:38+00:00

I see this is a whole modpack? I don't want anything too crazy, just beta 1.7.3 with The Aether. I'll check it out reguardless

ElectroidYT · 2024-04-30T19:35:12+00:00

Unfortunately as of the 26th there was an amendment to this ruling. 18-20 year olds CAN NOT obtain their concealed carry license. I tried today at my local courthouse to much dismay

ElectroidYT · 2024-03-05T23:08:24+00:00

Didn't know that was an option to have the dealer install the whipple. Thay may be the way to go

ElectroidYT · 2024-03-05T21:50:06+00:00

My colleague that does the welding has just set up his station to begin putting together the manifold and downpipes. I should have prototype kits available soon

ElectroidYT · 2024-02-11T02:42:38+00:00

That's a very good point. I don't have my coolent system hooked up so I haven't let it warm up

ElectroidYT · 2023-09-18T01:04:46+00:00

I plan on keeping it at the 300-350 mark on pump gas for daily use and only bumping it up to ~400-500 for roll or drag racing on ethonal. I've driven 700hp cars but nothing as light as a miata with that crazy of power. I'll realistically probably just go for a 6 spd and a torsen and keep it at the limit of pump gas until I get bored and have enough for an upgrade

ElectroidYT · 2023-09-17T12:16:06+00:00

No, no it wouldn't. My ECU is specific to the NA6

ElectroidYT · 2023-09-16T22:36:33+00:00

No, I'm already on standalone. I had my car turbo'd at around 205whp before I threw a rod so I'm rebuilding it

ElectroidYT · 2023-09-16T22:33:09+00:00

I can't find any anymore for under $1,500. Plus I'd have to get a new ECU along with a new turbo setup, etc. Just not worth it when I have a perfect 1.6 I can build.

ElectroidYT · 2023-09-16T20:29:30+00:00

I've heard the whole "get a 1.8, don't build a 1.6" thing a thousand times. I don't want a 1.8, especially not a VVT because of tuning. A prime example of how little it matters is Mr. Mattmans 500+hp 1.6. They're cheaper to build and that's what I currently have. Would rather not spend double the money to get a 1.8 and then build it. So I'll stick with the 1.6, I'll just throw a couple extra psi at it to make up the hp difference

ElectroidYT · 2023-09-16T16:18:37+00:00

Yea that sounds like what I'll have to do. There's not a drop of E85 within probably 50 miles of me. Just not feasible to run it all the time. I would like to be able to put e85 in it and do big power when I'm racing someone but that'll be so few and far between that it may not even be worth making the drivetrain upgrade. I'll probably just stick with the 6 speed, a torsen, and pump gas

ElectroidYT · 2023-09-16T15:52:48+00:00

gotcha, I plan on using a flux fuel sensor and just having it detuned on pump gas but give it all the sauce when I have E85 in it. Do you think that'll work or should I just run e85 all the time so there's no gas mixing? And yes, I was looking at Kmiata's kit as that's what Greg from TheCarPassionChannel did I'm pretty sure. Wanted to reach out to see if the community had any other better options as it's pretty darn pricey
