Justin's Mazdaspeed Miata
 

Welp have had my car for a Lil over 3 years now. I have done bits to it here and there. But time to actually do something worth talking about.

Cars current mod list:
Flyin miata intake
ebay cat less downpipe
Corksport 3" cat back
Ground control coil overs on stock bilsteins 500/350
Super cheap stancerific xxrs

That's pretty much the jist of it.

I have had reverent ms2e pnp ecu and a set of fic 650cc injectors.

Semi current picture. Less shiny paint.

So about that shiny paint...

I got the megasquirt installed. About to order 15x9 aero 500 wheels from flyin miata and the rear dynalite brake upgrade to match my fronts. also gonna be ordering a roll bar finally.


Also gonna be ordering boost controller stuffs for the squirt. That will tidy up my purchases for the car for the year besides doing a light build on the spare engine!

why did you make your car look retarded?

It looks like it can't figure out what it wants to be. It NeedDirection

:cry:

Looks like it dropped in value by $2500. Good job.

Please tell me whatever you did to the paint peels off.

Well finally some action in the build thread. yes it is Plastidip. The car has been repainted, wrecked front and rear and the paint was already peeling along edges and worn through the clear coat in many spots.

So again reiterating plastidip will peel off. It was shot and prepared as well as you can spray plastidip. Nice of you guys to join the thread!

As stated ordering the wheels and the rear big brake kit as soon as I can mentally cope with letting the money go.

My ms2e is stuck in ten mode and working with reverent to work it out. fixed 10 degrees of timing is retarded slow :(

Well pulled the trigger on the rear brakes and new wheels. Ready to have some proper wheels and tires on the car. Next I will be ordering in the roll bar with in the next couple months

Got tires coming as well. will post an updated shot soon.

Reverent fixed the 10° fixed timing! The car pulls better of course but I can't tell if the timing map is that much more conservative than stock or the car pulls just as hard and is smoother so feels slower. Either way I am tuning in the fueling for now. May up timing a slight amount but no where near danger zone area and that will become my safe tune for 91 octane. Then make the switch to e85 and start tuning for ALL OF IT on stock turbo.

15x9 aero 500's in black on their way and nitto nt01s in 225/45 r15 on the way! Install the rear big brakes and flush the lines and bleed with new fluid and we shall be set!!! Then it's easier stuff to finish up for the year!

be careful with the timing, both DIY's and Rev's base maps are not that conservative for crappy 91oct since they have 93+

Ahh ok. I will see what I can do to post timing map. I heard what I thought was detonation on stock computer at times... high rpm marbles shaking in a tin can sound. none of that for now on this setup. But still running 10.5ish:1 on the top end. Tha ks for the heads up!

Welp got the miata back on the road. The aero 500 15x9s are installed with 225/45 r15 Nitto NT01 tires. I have the rear wilwood kit installed. I think i have some more bleeding to do or the wilwood pads that are included with really are as bad as people say. I also goofed and didn't research enough but I need to get brackets and 11.75" discs. 11" brakes at all 4 corners are no good for on the limit braking. Pictures after work.

These tires are rediculous!

How's that look for 91 octane? Stock msm turbo on 12lbs of boost. Intake and turbo back exhaust.

why rear brakes only? is the fronts already upgraded?

Yes fronts already have 11" dynapro setup. I need different pads s ok me thing fierce. The pads flyin miata provides are ok but for sticky tires they are not enough, or I have more bleeding to do.

The standard Wilwood pad is sometimes the BP-10, a pad wholly unsuited for track use.

Well not tracking it yet but running nt01s for my street tire of choice. The car sees maybe 100 miles a week. So gonna see how they do. RS3 were proving difficult for discount tire to get but the set me up with the same price as the RS3.

the car hasn't ever stopped as well as it does now but it will not engage the abs on dry pavement with the nt01s. The pedal is slightly lower than it was with stock brakes but still gets rock hard. I have 4 piston dynapros up front with flyin miatas spec 37 11" rotors and 4 piston dynalite in the rear on generic sport rear rotors.

Does anyone carry brackets for dynapro 4s and the 11.75" rotor?

Edit found d that v8 roadsters does. How is their rotor? Of 11.75" rotors we have v8 roadsters and 949racing or Tse I can't remember. How is clearance to the tie rod on v8 roadsters? Is it closer than the 949 11.75"

Ordered the ebc for the megasquirt... anyone have an idea how to setup the new valve?

Well hit a brick wall on progress on the car. 2 exhaust manistuds snapped off for me so gonna be ripping into it soon to fix those and get back to e85 time.

The fuck did you do to that car?

I snapped one stud removing my turbo but got lucky there was enough left in the head to get a stud remover in there and pull it out without effecting the threads. I can't figure out how they'd break on their own though. Unless maybe the little support bracket under the turbo is missing and somehow the turbo shook enough to do so.

They broke I guess from retightening them. They did the typical msm stud problem and I kept retorquing them. The last time I checked them one was broken and 2 more were loose. Have parts on hand to fix but haven't had a chance to start tear down.

I picked up NA door panels and going to be working on getting them redone and installed. Looking at learning the ins and outs of carbon fiber. Gonna start with door panels and radio delete plate and then work on things gradually upping the complexity as I go.

OK so I finally have street to wrench on the car again. I just have to the lines to the turbo and the turbo brace and then the turbo and manifold will be out. Should i just go with miata roadster manifold stud kit or should I look into other options? All but 2 studs came out with the nuts and I would be more comfortable replacing them all. I really would like a set it and forget it option on these manifold studs. 3 of the 4 turbo to manifold studs came out so I will probably just go inconel with them.
Any other options?

Ok so I haven’t logged on in years and can not get into my original “NeedDirection” account. Made a new account. The car was going to be sold. Then after a year, my best friend, who was going to buy the car decided he didn’t want to deal with putting it back together. I have installed the replacement head. Now I have to install intake manifold after the egr delete plates show up, shim MSM cams, get oil lines for turbo, and run new hot side piping. I have a vics manifold to replace the vtcs intake.

reverant ms2e pnp mazdaspeed Miata, is there an open output for controlling the vics? I will research more but all of the wiring information I believe is in my pms for my old account.
