Clearance, shmearance - you just need moar hood scoop bro

https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...c96a016e34.jpg

I'm running the same engine mounts. As the actuator is nearly centered over the engine mounts i doubt the angle of the motor/trans would affect it that much.

Once I get my axles from V8R I'll be installing the BMW/getrag system as well. I ordered a new hood since I folded my old one over my roof. If it offers better clearance than the stock one I'll let you know.

What hood did you order?

Ccp fabrication. Ryan @ Singular told me about them. It's where he got his glass doors I believe.

Na hood with the naca headlight cover glassed over. So it will be a straight flat hood, no openings except for the ones I want (5 singular vents). Paul @ CCP said the bracing under the hood was 1/4" tall and there are only a couple of them. I'll send pictures when it comes. If the hood is identical, I should still have to notch my louver to get it to close. We'll see

And you use the stock waste gate actuator correct?

Need some help with my wideband. I have an LC 2 and it calibrates fine but the afr isn’t communicating with mega squirt. I have the wideband selected but all I get on MS is 7.8 where the gauge is reading 14.5. Any ideas?

The innovate has 2 output wires. Brown and yellow I believe, and the setting on the calibration are different for both.

One is for the correct default in megasquirt, the other isn't. I ended up logging into the innovate gause and made both outputs the same and then input those in a custom wideband option in megasquirt. I probably made it twice as hard on myself, but it works perfect now

Thanks for the follow-up. I re read the instructions and the brown wire is the wrong output...even though it says to use it. I just wired both the gauge and the ECU off the yellow wire and it seemed to work. Im retarded. Probably should do what you did and log in to make both outputs the same but this will work for now.

As an aside pulled the car out of the garage for the first time in 6 months. Looks good. Taking it tomorrow for all the exhaust fabrication. Drove it quickly about 200 yards around my complex. No funny noises or anything other than an open downpipe. Only thing I noticed was neutral was sluggish. As in the car rolled slowly backwards with the car in neutral and the clutch also in. Not sure if its the new brakes or what...

Also got this piece in...will cut out the transmission tunnel and have this welded in. Found a company that makes them for SPEC miata. After its in will have the custom seat brackets made so my seats fit better in the car.

KMiata shift knob showed up too. Thing is nice and heavy. Could kill someone with it. I like it.

Not sure on the specifics of the trans you are using, but there may be an issue with it if there is too much resistance while just spinning whatever the output shaft is.

Do you know for a fact the clutch is fully disengaged? It doesnt roll forwards atall, or maybe check if ms registers any load.

How is driveshaft alignment?

Brakes may be dragging, could clear up after bedding (im assuming this hasnt been done)

Diff might be set improperly

Axles new too? Could just need a high speed run or something to clear up.

Rear wheel bearings installed correctly?

Just spitballin, maybe it helps.

Heads up on the Amazon coils. Show correct part numbers and all but my dwell needs to be at 4.5 otherwise I get issues. Toby who tuned my car said the dwell on the d585's should work fine at 2.5, but I was getting blowout. I also originally used eBay connectors but cylinder 3 sometimes needs a jiggle to work. Ended up buying a set of 8 coils with factory harnessss off eBay. Made a new wiring harness out of the factory GM one and hope to not have any more issues.

It's the brakes. Don't sweat it until it does it after you driven it a little.

Car at the fabricator to start all the work...pretty pumped to see it on the lift.

Make sure to take lots of pics of the final exhaust DP/exhaust routing so I have some ideas ;)

No problem

Did you go back today?

Nope...he's great...shot me a update text and sent some pictures.

Man this is exciting. I'm glad to see all the progress.

your camera broke. this is unfortunate.
