Hang up's is an understatement. Lol.
Blew an intercooler pipe, found an unplugged sensor. Had to retune fuel map.

Somehow the spark plugs failed. Two and half hours and $180 later we have new GTR plugs which, incidentally, are the same part number as the stock 370 plugs. Some how it magically fixes it.

Start to tune again and get fuel dialed in boost. 3 power pulls (tweaking fuel not timing or anything yet, and I could hear a boost leak but couldn't find it) and we hit 400/351.

3rd pull it shuts off. Frantic hours trying to find what has melted.

11pm call triple a and get a tow truck scheduled for 12:30 eta. Also find a load of melted wires. Push car onto lift and start cutting, splicing and re-routing wires.

12:10 truck shows up and I've got 6 or so wires to go. However at this point is 2 greens and 2 whites, without any way to distinguish between them. I'm ready to give up. However the car starts.

12:30 Send the truck away, start taping and tucking and zip tie-ing the shiz out of the wires. Also re-installed the down pipe.

1:00ish test drive.

1:30 finally at a gas station and leaving

around 2:30ish we pull over and I immediately spot the boost leak. FML it's post MAF so of course the fuel map will need re done again.

However once these issues are fixed I think we could definitely hit 420-450whp before we starting to up the boost.

Oh yeah M.R. Performance is f*cking incredible the owner went and waited two hours to get us spark plugs, he also waited with the us and didn't kick us out of the shop.

Visconti did do an awesome job getting fuel dialed in boost despite having a leak so we were able to make it home fine.

Also the car is freaking quick now. I can't wait to add another 100hp/100tq.

That sounds like an ordeal! Worth it, though.

Took the cars out this weekend. The car still drives incredibly well even with the boost leak. Hoping to find time this week to etune with John now that my laptop is fixed. Anyways we went to a local drive in for dinner and a few minutes later we had a nice sized crowd hovering around the cars.

Turbo blanket is getting fully secured today and some more touch up crap. Build is pretty much done so it is just odds n ends anymore. Probably wont be updating much anymore unless it is new parts. Probably buying a Chevy s10 for winter here very soon so maybe ill include that occasionally.

Also was told this weekend that my car should be idling and cruising at an 11-11.5 afr hahaha. yeah no. Please no one take that info. That is just horrible.

As for soon to see updates...
New Dynos with the retune for boost leak fix. Expect 450whp
New Dynos on 10 and 12lbs of boost. Expect 500ish and boatloads of torque.

you really are copying me! lol I have an s-10 too

I can't wait to see what your numbers are like bro!

G37Sam · 08-19-2013, 06:18 PM

I think 12psi might be asking for trouble on a stock block and remember, high torque = high engine pressure, the con rods may not like that. Just my 2 cents

Chuck33079 · 08-19-2013, 06:23 PM

To be fair, he's running a smaller turbo than some of the other builds. It's not really about psi as much as cfm.

That was not the info given in the other thread maybe if mx5 could read retain info and tell you,you probably wouldn't have so many problems with your tune.

He can read an interprets as he pleases. I don't decide what comes out of his mouth or through his keyboard. Like I said before, we had a miscommunication I had no issues with you until you come in here and accuse me of things I don't do. Don't attack my credibility.
