I had an aftermarket turbo on my 79 Mazda RX-7 and I quickly realized that the brakes were not up to par.
I'm also curious about oil consumption...
The old story with a boat is... that happiness is when you buy one and again when when you sell it.
That was the case with my turbo. It was fun for a while but the whole thing stank (literally and aromatically) and the idling fluctuated a lot. That was then and this is now and besides the Wankel certainly didn't have any decent torque.
I like the concept... yet I have reservations....
I knew there was a reason I parked my car for the winter instead of just selling it...
I currently have my Smart on EBAY with nearly $4000 in "show & go" upgrades and now that I see light at the end of the tunnel, I will have to re-think selling it. Now I must ponder negotiations with wifey.
We can post up a dyno chart with AFR plotted but I have to get a copy. Probably can plot boost too. We cant do rpm though since we ran off of gear ratio instead of tach on the Dyno Dynamics.We didnt use the Dynojet since the Dyn Dynamics is a load based dyno that allows us to provide an actual load like you would see on the street or freeway.
We havent gotten set up as sponsers yet so I dont want to piss any one off and post pics but if you go to the link on page 1 you can see the pics. We just put up some pictures of the whole kit laid out on our website.
Anything you can do to help the tranny shift faster will be an improvement.We are not sure of how much our header will add but I estimate around 10-12WHP at the same boost level.
I may have missed this, but as you are a CA company, will these systems be CARB certified? I know it's years away, but we'll eventually be faced with testing.
