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

 

Get dem bugs worked out, and read your PM! dont fool around with oil pressure! Make sure you got it!

 

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.

 

 

its about time you got that running. didnt you get most of your stuff from rotaryshack?

 

ioTus - got any updates for us?

 

i may tomorrow!

 

can i have yur car when yur done with it

 

sure man. Its yours.

 

Damn, I knew I shoulda asked first. Woulda been nice to have another parts car.

 

....

 

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.

 

I might have a turbo FB someday, lol.
