Free CDM 44mm wastegate.(HKS style)
2.5" charge piping
AN Feed and Return
Water meth injection

Engine and management

BP05
GTX Intake Manifold
GTX Cams
B6T Rods
Wiseco 9.1 pistons

Stock record for a D16 is at least 394whp, that's all I recall atm.  ():)

What are your power goals now? >450whp I'd bet? DEFINATELY would be a sleeper.

Post by: patsmx5 on March 09, 2009, 02:01:48 PM
solid build man. Only concern with using vbands for everything is there's no room for anything to flex when the motor torques. So don't solid mount everything too hard cause something has to have some give.

Turbo BP 1.8 FTMFW!!!

For some reason all the SS pots I've seen on ebay are expensive, or have some stupic copper mix BS. Anyone have a good idea for a cheap all-SS pot, besides a rumage sale?

If I were you I'd look around for someone with a miata getting rid of their megasquirt setup. Buy it cheap, put miata ignition + MS and it will be decent.

Post by: Joseph Davis on July 19, 2009, 09:38:21 PM
Microtech causes your AFRs to wander unless you can control your alternator output with razor sharp accuracy and repeatability.  No battery compensation tables, and they refuse to discuss the lack.

I'd stick with the Megasquirt.  I have criticisms of them, but all of them are on non-BP motors.  Just use the hi-res code and give it hell.

hahaha cooking pot!  true innovation right there. 

did you hog out the runners in the intake manifold?  The gtx one's i've seen have the floor raised up for "torque management" reasons.

How's the oil pump holding up at this power level?  A friend's BP-T Fastiva exploded his pump on the dyno at 235whp.  His engine had the large crank snout to boot.

Thanks fucker. You still in state or what? I'm goin to tune at godspeed here in a couple weeks. You should come.

If been in NYC for a few months and am moving down to DC lol... BUT I do want to visit state before I get down there, if the car is in panty ripper mode by then I think it would be homosexual of me to not drop by.
