Thanks man. Got some more done today.

Got some more work on the downpipe done. Should be working on the exhaust tomorrow.

Oil feed wasnt nearly as difficult as I thought it'd be

Are you gonna run a hks bov or are you going to recirculate?

idiot-stick

I'm gonna run a knockoff Type-S and recirculate. Once I get some datalogs for the MAF, I can emulate the MAF signal through the MAP signal and dump to atmosphere if I want. Mostly that would be useful if I were to blow off a pipe. I'd be able to get home without fixing it first.

Got the downpipe tacked up

looks awesome. are you staying internal gate or mounting an external gate on the downpipe flange? gonna keep the external dump or re-circ?

idiot-stick

Im gonna stay internal gate and probably run a separate dump. My last 14b internal gate worked pretty good.

how do you like that AEM so far?? ive heard nothing but good things about them from the s2k crowd and such

Honestly I havent had time to ---- with it whatsoever besides hooking the laptop upto it once to make sure everything was hooked up right. They just came out with a new upgrade (Free) that allows it to datalog WB02. Thank god for that.

I'm just gonna pull a basemap out of my *** and see how it works, then do a street tune before I beat on it. Gotta get this beast running before Saturday so I can drive it across town to install the clutch.

Still got enough to keep me busy during the week.

It's looking pretty sweet. Nice combo of clean welds with the occaisional blob-job to make the HTers of the Miata world scream like women.

Small update:

Tonite I worked on the exhaust. Got the downpipe 90% welded up and started on the rear section (flange, flex-pipe, first muffler, straight pipe). It's a bit crooked so I'm gonna have to cut it and re-do a bit, no biggie. Gonna fab up a bracket that connects the DP to the transmission to keep the weight of some of the exhaust off of it. Thats gonna be a bitch but I've made up my mind i'm gonna do it....well at least eventually.

Got my hot and cold pipes smoothed out some, added an IACV hookup for the cold pipe made out of some old bicycle handlebars LOL.

Painted both the pipes then I remembered I forgot to put on the BOV flange. gosh deng. So I gotta sand some paint off and find a good spot for it.

Ordered a new feed kit for the feed fitting from Stealthmode. As soon as that arrives, it's all on me to get this beast started. Aiming for wednesday or Thursday to start the sucker up
