Thread: Convention Build Status

I don't even do turbo but why 5 psi? I would like to be enlightened.

Because street car?

Chris - what driving?

5 psi wastegate spring so I can tune at as many pressure levels as possible. I have a dual port wastegate now and a solenoid, so I can run whatever boost I want, except lower than 5 psi. So boost by gear and all that can run as low as 5 psi.

(In theory. In actuality the damn wastegate flow isn't enough and naturally the engine creeps to 10.6 psi it seems.)

Hopefully his Classic and not his Miata...


Now Chris if you do bring the Miata maybe we can tag up with my Aunts Mazdaspeed...

What about the often heard theory that you shouldn't run your boost controller more than 2x the native wastegate pressure? Does the dual port config play into this?

Still up in the air with that one. If the weather is nice, I'd much prefer to have the Miata. The SE-R is in the home stretch of being boosted, and it may or may not be done.

I think the idea behind Bens post is to be able to tune the individual cells on the map in the very low boost areas which can be hard to tune with a higher wastegate spring? Correct me if Im off base here Ben...

Let me know if you need a hand. I would like to see the classic out there.

I've got a new cap and rotor as well as a set of plugs to do on Monday. Bleed the brakes with fresh fluid, give her a bath and we should be set
