I might get the car out this weekend but run it on the road on 93 on spring pressure (14psi boost) but only if its nice out... I cant wait to get it to the track


Edit... spring pressure is still 285whp...

UPDATE:

Got the car out today, I got a couple of weak sauce speedo vids doing 2nd gear roll ons, ill see if I can post them tomorrow. I put about 100miles on it today... the motor was pretty solid. Even on 14psi the car is DAMN FAST. Easy low 12 sec car on low boost. There were a couple times the car laid down 250+ft of rubber, both tires lit from a roll on... say 20mph, hit the limiter in 1st then punch it into second and keeps the tires smoking! Impressive actually! If you brake boost too spool the turbo up and then stand on it from 50-60mph ITLL SMOKE THE TIRES. Thats pretty damn good esp for a 24.2x8.5 drag radial... Stock tire height is 23"

Damage assessment: Pass side inner cv joint started working itself out of the trans and leaking trans oil so I have to change it, the radiator mounts snapped off so itll have to be redone. Thats all I can see right now...

[89T]

nice, when are you getting it to the track?

[Tdurr]

Oh hell yea! I cant wait till im on your level. Drove my buddies built gsr teg the otherday while it was on low boost(13 psi)
Shit got down for 380whp. 400 in an accord would be slightly scurry at first

[AccordEpicenter]

This is on LOW boost...14psi. Thats approx 285whp... Soo on C10 its got another 144whp more to go at 26psi boost!

But anyway... Its gonna be a few weeks. The car has to get fixed again and im going away for vacation. Id say its gonna be at least another 3weeks before i can hit the track. Im gonna start out on low boost to just start making passes then turn up the boost controller when I start getting the car sorted out. With the stiffer suspension and drag radials the car actually hooks up pretty good on low boost... or at least as good as can be expected for the street...

[gfrg88]

Badass!!!!!! Can't wait to get my built shit running!!!

update:

I started looking into the motor because the oil never seemed to be clean and it started losing coolant. I thought it was from a small leak around the stat housing because the motor always had great oil pressure and never ran hot, ever. So i drained the oil and it looked tan like there was moisture in it so I decided to just go ahead and take the head off... and voila! Headgasket was blown to bits... Im actually shocked the car ran as good as it did with this. Its blown between cyls 3-4 and 2-1 and between the water jacket and cyl on #3. I dont think the bottom end got messed up so Ill prolly just leave it together for now... Looking closer at the head it looks like its warped and the cam may have been damaged.

[Tdurr]

Damn thats a shame. What hg did you have?

[AccordEpicenter]

stock honda on miata head studs

[89T]

what did you tourque the studs at?

[AccordEpicenter]

iirc like 70ft lbs hahah

[89T]

that sounds about right.

[AccordEpicenter]

yeah im kinda confused. My only idea is the head must be warped...
