InkHolder
Просмотров 202 года назад
Using FDM 3d printing to hold aftermarket ink cartridges into an industrial printer. The aftermarket cartridges weren't a perfect fit, and the vibrations caused by the printer operating would sometimes shift them out of being fully engaged. This would trigger the printer registering as the cartridge being unplugged and would stop the print. Sometime we needed to run these machines for 8-10 hour...

Me driving my 1983 Mazda Rx-7 GSL at Road Atlanta. Horrible audio quality but the driving was tons of fun. I got 40 minutes of time but the camera dies only 5 minutes into the fun. You guys get to see the big blooper I did. We weren't supposed to time out laps but my instructor said I went from 2 minute 30 second times (the lap you watch on here) to 2 mins 16 seconds by the end of the day.

    Thanks for the videos greatly appreciate it excellent explanation however I think you’re failing to mention one thing about the NB model vs NA. the overheating issue was really with the earlier NA models when Mazda figured out this issue and when they introduced the 1.8 96/97 NA and NB models they changed the gasket to allow more more coolant to flow to three and four at lower temperatures. The rerouting this models does not make sense unless you change the gasket back to an earlier version as it will have the reverse effect. Also, this does not matter on street car only on a car being beat up for long periods of time.

    It's not a big deal because the O2 sensor will see a leaner mixture, and make fuel corrections in milliseconds to maintain 14.7 /1 . Worst case your fuel trims will change, but the pvc is just a way of trying to re-burn un burned crap from blow by.

    Love your videos on the miatas, I'm looking to buy an NB to track and daily drive, how many miles on the default cooling route do you think are enough to really affect me? most of the examples I'm looking to buy are roughly 130k mi and I'll likely do the coolant reroute before tracking it at all. Could you please do a video on lubrication on the B6 and BP? I want to understand better what's going on with oil flow with both the direction and how inhibited it is. One thing that I'm worried about with doing aggressive oil pan baffling is whether or not it'll inhibit the actual oil flow rate from the pan

    alright i got a question. i plan on doing a valve cover cut to expose my cam gears, but when i do that the bracket/hose won’t be able to be attached leaving the hose to dangle. instead of doing that would a catch can on the hot side of the engine be a solution ? or would it be better to find a longer hose and route it differently ?

    • @1987RX7TII
      @1987RX7TII 5 месяцев назад

      I’d route with a different hose. Exposed cam gears do look pretty cool but definitely run the factory under tray if you do it because you don’t want a pebble to fly up and get into the timing area.

    I have a NA8 and just got a link ecu and I got it tuned 3 times but it's having trouble cold starting and idling as it sits at 1500 rpms till you cycle the car (turn it off and on again) then it goes from 1500 to 1000 but if you touch the throttle it repeats the process. I have been told it's a vacuum leak but am not to sure... any insight is welcome

    I've been watching hours of content about miatas, I own a NB, hands down this is the best explanation of the reroute kit I have seen. Your way of delivering the information resonate with me. I'm a computer engineer, with a bachelor's, and I wish all my studies were that way. Nothing fancy straight to the point and with an analogy to a 5yo level, perfect! I see you have done this video a year ago, I would like to encourage you to understand that you have potentially a skill that I hope you are leveraging for your benefit 😊 all the best to you! P.s. Ideas for videos: -Suspension overview and alignment specifics -Timing, combustion, running lean, common issues fixes These are latest topics I've encountered.

  • @ads1035
    @ads1035 11 месяцев назад

    I wanna ask a stupid question... Recently, I was chasing a low idle on a NA8. I had had the intake manifold off to get it powder coated, so I was partly convinced the problem was related to intake air. I took off my hot side vent hose wile the engine was idling, and I felt pulses of air leaving the engine. If that's the intake side for the crankcase vent, why was air exiting the engine through that port at idle?

    • @1987RX7TII
      @1987RX7TII 11 месяцев назад

      I have 2 theories. One is that it could have been difficult to tell that the moving air you felt was actually coming out of the vent or into the vent. Assuming that you accurately determined the air was coming out of the vent, my other theory is that your PCV valve was jammed shut. The PCV valve is a one way check valve that should only let air come from behind the valve cover and into the intake manifold when it’s under vacuum. In order to replace that air, there MUST be inward flow from the hot side. If both of the above are incorrect, then my last theory would be that one or more of your 4 pistons are making incredibly poor compression and the blow by is giving the crankcase enough positive air pressure to need to vent out of both openings on the valve cover. Without being able to diagnose your car in person it’s hard to say what caused your experience.

  • @twincamuuu
    @twincamuuu Год назад

    What would be the optimal solution for an itb setup without an intake plenum? I've seen conflicting opinions but one I've a seen a lot is deleting the intake side valve and joining both to a vented catch can. Is that ok for the engine?

    • @1987RX7TII
      @1987RX7TII 11 месяцев назад

      I do not have first had experience running an ITB setup but I'd say off of my understanding of the theory alone, if you don't have a vacuum source, I would just route both Valve cover outlets to a vented catch can. If you are running a vacuum block I would route a more traditional PCV circuity on the intake side of the VC with a sealed catch can between the PCV and the vacuum block. Then I would run the exhaust side breather to a vented catch can, You still don't want a small cone filter on the hot side because there is always the potential that the engine may lose some oil out of it and you don't need to be dumping oil onto your exhaust header. It's important to note in the instance of ITBs, that the metering and air/fuel mix issues I focus on in this video would not apply as an ITB setup absolutely cannot be ran on an OEM ECU.

  • @BZXT
    @BZXT Год назад

    Great explanation! it sounds like it is a bad idea then to install a catch can on the hotside vent if running a factory ECU, since the ECU will no longer be aware of the air that is being drawn by the valve cover to the intake. Would you interested in an explanation of the EGR tube on the header, and whether that could be capped off if going aftermarket headers

    • @1987RX7TII
      @1987RX7TII Год назад

      Layer separation when printing ABS as the part cools. The enclosure makes the air surrounding the part more homogenous and traps more of the heat created by the heated bed and hot extruded nozzle.
