BRING ON THE STROKER

i have a similar setup to you (running -10s but with an rb26/30) & im very happy with it so i think that you're using the right combo!

paul didnt build my engine BUT what i can say is that he has helped me a lot with diagnosis & advice & still continues to do this. from what i have seen on the forum, i can vouch for his workmanship.

here are some pics of pauls work - fyi:

yep, paul wont shut up! he calls me constantly to let me know how its all going...

we have had personal chats, chats about shit, chats about the engine, whats i should do when i first get the engine, called me everyday since it left his workshop to see if i have it yet.

im planning a visit to paul to meet him in person and deliver him some grog and a letter to thank him for all his effort and work..

he is a true champion and does more than expected..

you dont find many people like paul anymore.. most people/companies just want your cash.

even thou im in adelaide he will be my no1 workshop for anything i need.

Take a breath champ

paul & i have often spoken about how jim berry likes a chat as well...now could u imagine paul & jim in a conversation!

He must have read the thread because that night after I posted he text'd me to let me know "I like a chat but I am no Jim Berry". Haha!

adraino:i didnt finish year 12 so grammer not the thing for me, i really had to try to even bother with the fullstops i put in

R33:i no one recommended them to me where they at. what u up to u goin stroker as well mate?(let the fun begin) whats all that about?

yeh paul can talk a leg off a table but so can i lol

Have to recommend Paul too!

Always able to help out with any little questions I have and like many have mentioned, he is very genuine.

Will be getting Paul to build my next motor. He is a true blue no nonsense bloke who wont steer you in the wrong direction and sell you a hunk of shit.

If anyone is interested, his email address is [email protected]

One thing i will say to people having and engine done by Paul is dont call him every week asking where your engine is. At present he has about 13 engines waiting to be built (mine currently).

"Good things come to those who wait".......and the money to pay for it :)

    • You will need to extend the turbo inlet pipe somehow, which could/might be done with silicone/rubber pipe, but might need steelwork, depending on your intake. And you will need to change the pipework on the outlet in teh same way, but this is more likely to need steelwork.
    • I see... Any idea how much fab work is required? I note the Hygear megathread but its like 900 pages
    • I should try the experiment you're talking about, the throttle switch is still there carried over from the R32 and it's still all wired up but after I did the whole intake manifold refurb and had to recalibrate the TPS I managed to somehow get the idle switch reporting activation at 0.22V, then when I adjusted it to 0.45V for idle it decided the engine was permanently no longer idling which caused some very weird behavior, closed loop idle was disabled so it would basically be at the whims of the cold start valve and whatever the base timing table was at. Then just unplugging/replugging the TPS with the ECU live caused it to relearn the idle TPS position and decide 0.45V was idle. Presumably there's nothing in the TPS that allows for the throttle switch to "recalibrate" like that, not easily at least.
    • Duh... to answer my own silly question, it's actually described in the FSM... ...400 pages away at the end of the manual, for RB25DE/DET signal descriptions, it cites the TPSwitch signal action, is dependent on the TPSensor value ~ this tends to infer the builtin POT voltage signal is the primary, and the switches are fallback/secondary should the POT fail/TPSensor signal lost (and switch alone with no TPSensor signal allows for base idle speed setting).... makes sense... they (TPS units) used to fail/wear the POT with time, they're not exactly built to last ~ having the switch as a redundancy gets around this...(or, it's less likely both signals would be lost as they're on different power rails)... and of course wrt RB26DETT, you have to electrically disconnect the IACV solenoid from the harness, to defeat idle air control...  
    • Dose is unaware just how much fun 145-150kw would be in a 2.5L NC MX5. It would be one of the most fun things to drive to ever grace SAU.
