How hard can it be ? :eek: Rotor in a petrol turns at 120,000 revs or there abouts and exhaust turbine temp is hot enough to melt glass and there is the added problem of passing oil through the bearing,ask me how I know,just rebuilt an engine and after carefull check on the bench of turbo that looked ok and oil pressure from new pump blew it.

If you placed an intercooler on the pressure side it will not pass bits into the engine.;)

Dont know if this will be any good to you but it is mx5 1.6

Thanks Kev - that is the sort of thing I need.
In fact it looks very similar to (but much shinier than) the monstrosity I've been knocking up with a scrap manifold and tubing :D

Mostly for Chris, who I know is interested in my engine management plans :)

Here's a sneak peek into my current scheme:

Haha! You making your own engine management then! Smart Ass!:D

I'm impressed!:)

I wouldn't be too impressed just yet, I've still got a long way before it's finished and working!

It's not quite my own engine management. I did start designing my own ECU from scratch, but then decided to cheat a bit...
The idea is that this board replaces the processor in the Mazda ECU, so I can run my own engine management software on it and make it fully tunable :D

Have you got the engine rebuilt and in yet?;)

If only! Still waiting for the ****** piston rings.
Can't do much until they turn up :rolleyes:

Do you need your crane back yet?

That's not so good! Will need it in a couple of weeks if I can borrow it back for a bit;)

Thats what it looked like to me, the B6 Brain Surgery bit gives it away... Is it ARM based? Will you be selling these if you manage it or going open source? ;)

Cheers
