We’re not too sure what causes it tbh. I have the turbo smart bov and it’s plumbed to my break booster for the vacuum source (only able on 1st gen). It’s set to the softest setting but it happens on quick hard acceleration and then letting off. When under hard acceleration and then upshifting, it opens the bov. Andrew’s isn’t like that for some reason though. Not too sure why ://

@@carantixmy best guess is; softest blow off valve setting = less boost pressure required to open the valve. So when you floor it for a second and then let off the throttle the turbo spools up, but it doesn’t build enough pressure to open the bov, meaning that you get compressor surge stututu noises. When you accelerate for a long time and shift gears the turbo has time to reach full boost, and so you have enough pressure to push the bov open and release the air, causing the pshhh noise. So TLDR: turbo flutter comes from tightening the bov or getting rid of it entirely and blocking the hole. From what I’ve been told, having no bov wont actually damage turbos as long as you’re not pushing lots of boost, but having the bov just adds extra security and ensure the turbo lives it’s longest life.

This seems like a pretty solid plan to us👀👀

All we’re missing is the type r…🤔🤔

Yessir!!!!!😎😎

Thank you bro!❤️❤️

Thank you bro! We appreciate the love!!!🙏🙏

So when’s the turbo coming in???👀

Very important info to add! Thank you for brining it up and we definitely should’ve included it in the video as well. We didn’t even think about the problems because we were so focused on why we love the cars so much😂😂

Very great info to add as well! Thank you letting us and other people know about these issues!🖤🖤

We definitely need to get swaybars for the Miata but even just coilovers do amazing work on its own!🤩🤩

Thank you for the advice! Just reclocked the turbo last night😎😎

Andrew! Ig is @thatmightnight86

Andrew! Ig is @thatmidnight86

It really is just up to luck that these things will hold at this point with the turbo lol. Supposedly it should hold good power especially with the fa24 as long as the rtv issues are solved first. We’ll see though😂😂

Why not an 86?😔😔

Very true! You’d be willing to give up the power advantages of the GR86 though?👀🤔🤔

No, for real! It’s funny when you find an old socket or bolt from a previous install though😂😂

In this video it’s the remark elite spec catback. We personally like the new awe track edition exhaust that’s on Andrew’s car currently though! It’s way deeper and a bit louder…👀👀

That’s entirely possible. It’s all so confusing😂😂

We did have the short block and heads completely redone at a shop so it’s entirely possible the torque could be the problem. Personally we think somethings causing the valve guides to go bad but it’s all too hard to tell ://

@@carantix yea I watched the updated video lol I see ya did it the right way and got everything machined it probably just needed the mating surface milled but you guys went in 🤘🏾

Yessir!😂😂😂😂

Dangggg, you’re living the dream! How’s the Tesla? Does it compare to a combustion engine? And thank you bro! We appreciate the love!!!🙏🙏❤️❤️

@ haha somethin like that. I’ve wanted a Tesla since they came out in 2017 so I felt like it was time to finally pull the trigger, especially with how much used ones have come down in price. I love it though. The tech/minimalist interior/speed and little amt of maintenance is so nice. I got kind of bored doing the same mods over and over to gas cars so this is a nice change of pace, and there’s still tons of customization you can do to them as well! I kept a handful of goodies when I traded in the rf as well if you guys wanna hit me up and see what I’ve got. I’ve got x, Reddit and email. Lmk how you want me to contact you!

Ah we got you! Tesla does seem like a good change of pace from combustion, especially because of everything they have to offer! Self drive and convenience seems pretty sweet👀Also, we appreciate the offer for parts! We’ll ask Mat if he would possibly want anything and we’ll let you know if he says anything. We appreciate the offer majorly bro! What parts do you have if you don’t mind us asking?

@ no doubt. I got a month and a half of free FSD after getting it and it’s pretty crazy how far it’s come! I’ve got: Carbon Fiber Gas Tank Door Cover, Center Console Organizer Tray, CravenSpeed Platypus front plate relocate, Flyin Miata Radar Detector Mount, LASFIT front turn signal,reverse, and trunk LEDs Mazda OEM Cupholders (Pair) Mazda Design 3D Sticker Mx5things flashing brake module WeatherTech interior and trunk mats WeatherTech SunShade w/ bag Zunsport Grill Cover/Protector

Hey bro, what would be the best way to reach out to you for the parts?

Thank you bro, we’re glad you enjoyed the content! And yes! We’ll be constantly monitoring and keeping up with the oil issues involved with this car. We don’t want another engine to be killed😂😂

This is true🤔🤔

Mat agrees with this statement!😎😎

We appreciate the feedback! We’ll continue to work on improving the channel so that it’s top quality continuing into the future. Don’t worry though, Derek will have a lot more videos in the future still!😎😎

You definitely could but we personally decided to go oem especially because of all the rtv problems that this car has. Which permatex bottle would you have recommended others to use? Just curious?

@ Yeah and those problems are with OEM RTV. I see your pan has excess pinching out of it which I would say is a bigger issue than using non oem RTV. I understand the piece of mind using it but I think this is a situation where it’s overkill. Not judging, just wanting to state there is nothing wrong with a good name brand RTV that isn’t $70. I enjoy yalls content so definitely keep it up!

@@ricardomedina3874 what's an RTV brand you'd recommend? I have a '23 BRZ and I want to avoid any oil problems that these are prone to.

Yeah, we realized after that there was some excess coming out and we could’ve used less for sure!😂😂 hopefully it doesn’t affect the pickup tube with what we put on though :// Also, we appreciate the advice for permatex and we’ll definitely try to save some money that way if we have to pull the oil pan again! It’s good to know it’ll work in the same way for next time! And thanks for the love bro! We’re glad you enjoy the content!🙏🙏❤️❤️

@@Jaydeified permatex red is ideal for high temperature applications, but like, when I was in a pinch because I needed rtv late at night I used a tube of permatex black (which is general use rtv) that I got from Walmart for the bearing retainer cover on my transmission when I replaced my throw out bearing, and the transmission gets super hot too. It’s been a bit over a year since I used the rtv and there’s been no issues. If anything the permatex black literally sealed better than the oem crap I cleaned out of my brz. Edit: oh also, brand honestly isn’t what’s important. Getting a good even spread is important. When I did my tob and clutch I was taught to use my finger to spread the rtv and make it a nice evenly distributed layer across the entire contact surface. Because then once you press the 2 surfaces together, there won’t be a lot of excess pushed out, and there the rtv can set evenly to form a good and strong bond.

Thank you for the feedback! We’ll try and get more of the car in the videos going into the future. It’s definitely a beautiful car that deserves more screen time for sure!👀

But wide body is definitely in the near future. We want to do a couple of other mods before we get quite there but it’s definitely on the list for soon!

@@carantix Definitely deserves more screen time , it’s a great looking car , the fact that it’s a new car and has so many mods is pretty amazing

Agreed!!!

Hey bro, we appreciate the offer! Do you have anywhere we can contact you for more info about this?

It's a 4 seater for people with no legs. Useful for luggage and other things tho.

@ as I said I managed to go on a camping trip with 2 other friends in my gr86. It was a tight fit but we managed. With the mx 5 it’s impossible

Did you have to off-road in the gr86??? Also, how badly were your friends complaining about the back seats?😂😂

Very impossible with the mx5!

The turbo could have been clocked more to get the wastegate over the fan shroud but we were just lazy and decided it was easier to cut the fan shroud instead of clocking the turbo. Especially since we were waiting on a response for a while and it should’ve been clocked by JDL already since it was their test kit. Hardest part of the install was definitely the couplers. Getting the tubes within the couplers with c clamps on top of them was the most pain in the ass thing we had to do😂😂Oil pan was easy though :) You could mount your boost controller in plenty of different places, especially away from the heat of the turbo however this is currently what has been working for us so we just left it lol. We will probably end up moving it in the future though!

We didn’t show it on camera but we did lol. We can say that there were a couple of pieces in there ://

It’s an 86 with a brz badge👀

Subaru*

Some would say that…🤔🤔

Thank you bro! We’re glad you enjoy the videos and we appreciate the love!🙏🙏❤️❤️

How’s the sprintex? I was planning on going that route. Love the whine and immediate torque.

How many miles have you put down on the sprintex, looks fun just scared of the high PSI

@@chrisyang3824 The Sprintex is great. I had added the Pedal Commander earlier on and that was like getting a tune. The combination is just fantastic.

@@Cole_brz I have gone ~10,000 miles so far. I hear you about the psi. The standard math says that with that much psi you would be at 400+ hp, but it's not. PSI is high but volume isn't. I daily drive it and love it. So much stronger near the bottom of any gear. And way stronger at 4000+. Seems to respond more to percentage throttle increase than anything else. I'm averaging 27.5mpg on my daily commute but if I start pushing it all the time I get 23.

27.5 mpg is crazy!!!! We’re glad you love the sprintex though. Was there a reason why you chose the supercharger over a turbo?

Let’s gooooo!!!!

Sheeeeeshhhhhh👀

Thank you bro! We’re glad that you enjoy the content and we appreciate the love as well!🙏🙏❤️❤️

Hopefully not😂😂

It definitely could be! We’re pretty sure they come with oil restrictors from JDL for the turbo already though. We could be wrong tbh?😂😂

Are you on the 1st gen FA20? FA24 has stronger internals

@uNsT0p4b1e I have an fa24 the headbolts can be a little weak my engine also had 45k+ miles on the engine. As they say more power will accelerate the deteration of the engine. I was also a firm believer that 400 was a safe amount from the videos I watched and now my head is blown Also for reference I had the larger jdl turbo 58mm

@@jacobimerini7774 Oh damn thanks for sharing and sorry to hear that. I'm getting my supporting mods in order and then plan to turbocharge next year with the GT2971R. Was thinking of the GTX3071R to run lower boost and have less chance of heat soak, but seems people are having the best luck with small turbo setups I also figured 400whp should be decently safe. Might just aim for 360-380whp on E85

@@uNsT0p4b1e yea man I'm just happy to share my experiences with the community so people can enjoy their builds. I went with the larger turbo so I could run lower boost but I got greedy I would do 360 and play it safe. Unless you can afford getting a new engine on top of a turbo

@@jacobimerini7774 I want to keep this as my daily so yeah may just go more conservative like other guys I know, and not push for any more power until way later. Would you mind sharing what your whole setup was? Like did you have an oil cooler, upgraded rad, cerakoting, hood vents etc to help with heat management?

Yesssirrrrr!!!😎😎😎😎

Nahhhh, Derek’s 6’2…

Jkjk. We actually should’ve😂😂😂😂

What the…what happened????

@carantix lifted a head about 400 whp, gotta take apart the engine to inspect damages but prob gonna go full build and aim for 500

​@@jacobimerini7774first Gen?

Somewhere a little over 300 we think and it has a turbo smart bov😎😎
