Hey. Well. I just drove my car around the block. It ran O.K. I'm not so sure i'm getting full oil pressure though.

But just to let you know, a 13b TII blowthrough weber 48DCO, with a 2.5" Racing Beat downpipe and presilencer is REALLLLLLLLY LOOOOOOOOOOUD. I DONT THINK MY PARENT'S NEIGHBORS LIKE ME ANY MORE. WHAT???

anyways. i dont want to drive it again until i'm sure i have oil pressure. and until i get a god damn muffler on that thing. Jesus christ its loud.

So. In summary: my tii swap is SO close to being done. SOOO soo close.

I dont know if that post made any sense? I'm pretty excited/nervous right now. Its been 7 months since i've drive my car. And now it has a turbo 2 in it. :-D

Talk to you all later

Great to hear she's almost back on the road. I've always loved the look of your car, now with a t2 inside, it's even better.

Iotus, in my experience Racing Beat Presilencers don't really muffle much at all, at best they mellow some of the metalltc zingy noize that an N/A emits, your turbo is already doing some of that. I have found out that it is all about the muffler, RB presilencers are extra weight on a turbo car especially.

Congrats!!

I drove mine on Saturday, got some bugs worked out.
Drove it today, got some boost under me. The car feels like a freaking ANIMAL at 12PSI. 17PSI is insane.. It just roasts the tires any time I mash the throttle in 3rd.

I am in love...

Gauges are working, EGT gauge is not.
I need to place a bead around the IC pipes, as one of them keeps blowing off at >than 10PSI.

Will try again on X-Mas day, re-jet the secondary air bleeds, and try some more.

There is some very un-Florida like cool weather which is screwing with my wideband readings.

I can't complain though, the car is amazing, Mazda shoud've made them (turbo FB's) available to the U.S.
