I'm not going to quote your "wall of text" here. But if you were to start talking about your clutch setup on the internet for the world to see, assuming the team you work for isn't some "also ran." I'm SUUUUREEEE you would be fired on the spot. Don't be stupid. several of the things you posted are pieces of highly proprietary information and vary significantly from team to team.

Hi guys I'm op. I know how to fabricate but I bought a header that is an obvious piece of crap just to cut the flange off and weld on a new one and it only cost me $20 more than it would have cost to just weld up my own manifold from scratch that wont crack in 100 miles.

OP, It's cool that you know stuff that we don't, but we didn't ask for any of that information. You came here and "asked" us to waste our time spoon feeding you information so that you could save about 10 minutes of reading and looking at pictures.
People have worked very hard to lay out all of the answers to your questions in easy to read stickies. You could have easily read all of those plus a few build threads in the amount of time it took for the first eggplant to appear in this thread.

Rion has been directed to the DIY FAQ and that will tell him what he needs to know at this point. We've been as helpful as we could be until he has done some reading and has some background.

For those of you that actually had something intelligent to say, thank you. The rest of you I'm sorry your high horse got horny but then again I'm sure you didn't care considering you finally had to buy a seat for your car since that 3" trailer ball you sit on has too much slop (at least the gerbil can breathe now) yes they do not make a $100 header with a td04l flange but when you can fabricate it is just a weld away, but you must spend too much time in your mom's basement getting butt hurt by your uncle chuck while playing who can suck the most dick. Surprised you actually got a picture of what i believe to be the right car but then again we are the only one running out of ohio. Like to see if anyone knows how many discs we run in our clutch (that's the easy one)or what arm ratio is our secondary levers or even how our fuel return system works. How about how many injectors there are per cylinder or how about how much our fuel pump flows (Google is slightly wrong on that by the way). You could say we use our fuel as a source of cooling but then again when you saturate a cylinder with more then it can actually hold it is no wonder our spark plugs are gapped where they are. But then again when you run 60 psi from a 1471 it takes a lot to jump the gap. How about what does the psi go to when you loose a hole or how many gs do you pull at the hit and then how about lockup (when is that by the way? just like to see if anyone knows). You know it's not that I'm out of my league; that was a poor choice of words, it's just I was looking for legitimate help with something I have never done before, but obviously there isn't too much on here just a select few who actually know; the rest, I hope whoever installed and tuned yours for you raped you on the bill (but I'm sure your mom didn't care she just patted you on the head while saying your special while subliminally hoping you would crash and die so she could be done with you)

Thank you codrus. Figure ill take my tax return and get a megasquirt. It was just discerning when all I was looking for was a no the stock ecu can't swing that much timing or whether or not it could even compensate for anything at all.

You know the types, 9 months of class work, and all of a sudden, you're a goddamn expert.
Also, how pathetic are you being paid if your tax return is gonna be spent buying a megasquirt.... That's like $7-800.......... Many of the professional road techs I talk to wouldn't even mention the price point of many products...let alone ones that are priced for miata-folk...
Wait...you say you have experience tuning a blown mega v8, BUT ALL OF THE PRINCIPLES JUST MAGICALLY GOT FORGOTTEN WHEN DISCUSSING YOUR MIATA?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!!?
**** this idiot, I vote ban

I would not say recent. Been about 5 years ago and have no problem saying it cause I don't portray myself to be some ******* super tech. If I had a proper ecm I would have no real issue setting it up, I understand that, but letting the stock one do it for me for now was all I was trying to accomplish. And I would love to know where to find a ms for 7-800, everything I find is 1200.

And yes I do get paid like **** even though I've been doing it for 4 years. If it wasn't such a neat job and had such good benefits I would have quit a long time ago but how many people get to say they do what I do. I'd just be happy if I didn't have to drive the semi anymore and could focus solely on the clutch
