reason #69 why gordon is a baws: he has more diagrams of miata's than mazda

 

 

 

I should screenshots our chat where I rattle off all the gaskets and o-ring from memory, so later I can't be blamed for not mentioning them

 

Order the mmr rebuild kit, half moon seals and pickup tube gasket for oil pan (+rtv), o-ring for oil pump (+rtv), rear main, front main, exhaust cam, head gasket, oil filter stand gasket, and valve cover gasket. That's your long block minus a few thermostat gaskets.

 

My life right there.

Everything in this build is discussed multiple times in multiple hangouts before it shows up here. We are like editors before final press. LMAO

 

I'm just glad he's wasting all our time rather than looking it up himself

 

This man knows. He just finished re-sealing my rolling environmental disaster.

 

I mean this thread is on page 141 on non-n00b settings and he's not even built the motor or assembled the turbo setup yet

Not sure what your IM/ fuel rail plan is, but I accidentally bought a 5 pack of these 90* fuel rail adapters. Hit me up if you want one & I'll pop it in the post.

Thanks for the offer! I'm actually doing a custom fuel rail. Waiting on the DRO on the mill at work to get fixed.

 

Got the switch panel almost fully wired today. Just need to build the rotary pots and it will be ready to go. Have to build the other side of the harness and wire in the racepak switch (dual pole momentary switch for clearing errors and switching pages)

 

Is the red switch for the flux capacitor?

 

Looks good. What kind of connector is that?

 

Nice and clean, good job. Nasty wiring is the worst

 

Line lock

It's a 13 position Sumitomo HM unsealed series connector from Corsa technic.

A lot of the car is nasty wiring. I've slowly learned as I go. Now everything I do is TXL wire, uninsulated butt crimps and pinned connectors. I don't even use pigtails anymore. I buy the proper connector.

Got a plasma cutter for my birthday from my family. It's a cheap one but they have gotten good reviews. Pretty stoked.

 

Jealous, I was literally just looking at plasma cutters.

 

$250 for the CUT-50. I'll let you know how it goes.
