I have a '91 244 with a B230FT that I built with N/A pistons, RSI stage 2 cam, old style IPD camshaft, and a custom fabbed exhaust manifold through a mildly worked 12c at 14psi with red bodies that are worked to 610cc @45psi, electric fan, 3" AMM, M46, and a clutch that isn't long for this world.

There is probably more, I have been tinkering with this car quite a bit to make it acceptable in performance.

I meant RSI stage 2 camshaft not cam gears. I have a stock cam gear still and no valve adjustment done yet but shes fun to drive when its not having a boost issue. Forgot that I also have a ported intake manifold as well.

U have pics of the exhaust manifold?? I want a custom one for an external WG

Not at the moment, its a pretty simple 4-1 with the turbo mounting on the underside. Have you played with octane yet?

thats pretty sweet greddy, i had a 93 miata probably about a year ago, it was pretty nice had camel leather seats, when i got it it had its crank gear twisted off, so i swapped in a 1.8L, it had the LSD in it also, so sad i bought it only to fix, there was no extra room for it

V6 Throttle Body and Injen CAI are on the way. Probably won't do an install until spring but today feels like Christmas to me. lol

Poor man's race gas, xylene is 117 octane and toluene is 120, but they burn slow, so mixing them with 91 can yield a pretty damned good 95-98 octane that stays in the proper rate of burn.

When I ran the track I bought 110 octane from there and mixed it in the tank with the 93 octane so I ran about 100 octane roughly.

That works too, you can pick them up from sherman williams up to 5 gallons I think, mix conservatively or do the math, they don't burn as hot as the rest of the chemicals in gasoline, but the knock resistance is astounding.

So....guess what? Picked these up from post office this morning. MINT, no scratches/ scuffs, the real deal :D couldn't wait and installed immediately. They put the rest of my car to shame lol....

Also I have a quick question, I started up after work and my tranny was sluggish/ hesitant in the first gear until it went to second, it seemed bogged down as I couldn't really move when in D from a stop. If I put it on 3 however it seems fine.....so question is, is it toast? BTW its an auto.

anybody selling jdm taillights please let me know ill be happy to purchase

**M-Rod** · 11-07-2012, 07:13 PM

Tails look great! Sucks to hear about the transmission. I almost wonder if its an electrical issue with a solenoid or something similar. My brother has a diagnostic scanner that I may be able to use to check for any faults in the PCM. If you want to do that sometime, just let me know and I would be happy to be of any help.
