Noted, probably will order ms3x parts and ff 610's and get it installed on the car as is now. Also someone local to me had a miata for 100$ up on CL, running and driving 1990. Post was up for 6 hours before the car was sold, I missed out on a damn good deal...

i did the ms3x and 610cc injectors. you wont regret it. if you ran e85 you would be limited on injectors but not on 93. Order a honda intake from 4gordeev while your are at it.

Gonna do mustang injectors and FF adapters? That's what Chris and I are doing. We went halfsies on a full set of the injector take offs from a v8 mustang. Cost 200 bucks for 8 injectors!

Don't skip the ms3x.

You don't, but you will have to build all the circuits to replicate what is on the ms3x anyways

No, Buy the regular MS3, it saves you $100. Then build all the circuits yourself. Unless you are an accomplished point to point analog circuit wiring guy, it should only take you 10-15 hours. You'll be done before you know it.

Lack of research does not deserve props.

Don't repeat what I did, the expander board is so easy, and if your time is worth fuking anything....

Going to pick up the vvt motor tomorrow, removing the passenger seat and putting it on the floor. Will bring tools to separate block from head if necessary

NB2 motor is home, 2002 with 80k on it. GT500 injectors should be here by Tuesday, I will be installing them on the current engine, maybe upping the boost to 13-14 psi. Next purchase will be the MS3x, then I will spend a week or two converting the car to MS3x, hopefully utilizing all the goodies. I'll probably tear into this motor late april-early may, aiming to have it done by July 1st.
I know I'll need a few NB2 harness connectors for things like the vvt solenoid and the crank sensor.



Car felt very bouncy on the 3 hour drive home, well worth it though.
Also should I track down a set of NB2 coils or switch to COPs?
