Post your turbo / supercharged setup

[NitroDann]

I know of a few show ponies and other cars who dont prove themselves at the track, and a few who I believe have left myths about their cars. But its good to see proper high powered cars that get raced.

There's plenty of myths on all forums mate, and while I'd prefer to see a car that gets dríven too, you've gotta respect a guy or girl who builds the car to suit their own wants and needs.

That said, every car and owner I was thinking of has plenty of driving under their belt, both on and off the track.

Back to the topic though...

Post photos and sheets

You first. Would like to see some sheets of this 400hp monster 1.6 you claim to have built(or was that one you blew up) .
I will gladly supply videos of MY car if your interested, I sure you weren't referring to me though. But for someone so persistent about search engines there are videos of BOTH of my cars online. Let alone all the details about my third place in the Australian Street Car of The Year Competition. Sean refers to the people don't post here any more and that's unfortunately because of you Dan and the dribble you regurgitate from miata turbo. People that have been on here for a lot longer than you or I, regardless of how many posts they have made, DON'T need your advise, besides it's about quality not quantity.
Sorry to be so blunt but this place use to be fun, no one attacking people due to difference of opinion, and anyone forcing their opinion onto others was quickly dismissed. If I've overstepped the line than you can delete this post but anyone with similar feelings feel free to post.

Lets keep this thread to supercharger and turbo setups.

There are many who have proven track records such a CT and Tyron who don't post here any more and that's a sad shame.

This isn't a pissing contest, people don't need to prove anything.

I want people to enjoy the forum not have to come here to defend their power figures, race results or deal with enthusiasts who feel every MX-5 should be like theirs.

In the same token I understand users frustrations because the friendly nature of our forum is being compromised over childish one-upmanship. Can everyone please keep making an effort to be diplomatic and avoid personal attacks.

Thank you Okibi, sorry for the dribble was working at adgp at sydney Motorsport park all day In the sun. Little hot, obviously.

No stress, i'd have loved to have been there, the ADGP round in Perth is fantastic. Saturday Sunday.

Na06ce: a spec sheet in a magazine and online isn't the same as active conversation about a build or builds.
I was not talking about your car I was talking about people who have made claims with no proof ever, they know who they are.

I am sorry that so many take open discussion on the Internet so personally that they feel they cannot contribute any longer. I can probably still dig up PMs sent to me from members who have left because they were sick of the preciousness.

You have not over stepped any line opinions are free to be given.

I love your vehicle na06ce. Faster than my damn SP

Sorry about the stupid question guys but im having a blonde moment with this and have searched around for days now and keep coming up dry.

You need to run a hose between the nipple on the wastegate actuator and the housing, like you marked out in your pic. If you were to run a boost controller/bleed boost, you would attach it to that hose. No hose = max boost that the actuator/wastgate is set at, usually not safe as there's no restriction/control of boost pressure.

As for the boost gauge, you need to run it from a gradual vacuum line (usually the ones connected to the inlet manifold/throttle body). Usually a t-piece can be used to plumb the line into the vacuum hose.

Open a fresh thread to discuss ti in the turbo section of the forum.
