Hi! i'm new here, i'm from Quebec, Canada.
Bought my NB July 2010, my 3rd winter off. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1354581429 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1354581429 This is what it looked like when i bought it, the previous owner got a NB2 bumper on but "fitted" the NB1 headlight + El cheapo universal fog lights. So this is 2010, i got it off the road for winter n.1. The project was : -Maintenance -Suspension -Chassis -Mild Performance upgrade So i got the t-belt done and all front seals/water pump. Being there, i tought good to get a MSM cam, wich had a bit more lift, butg good enought with stock ECM. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1354581429 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1354581429 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1354581429 Got some OEM fog lights https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1354581429 Bossfrog frog arms https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1354581429 Tein SS with New OEM mounts https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1354581429 K&N and acc. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1354581429 RB RSFB and Axle-Back https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1354581429 SS Brake hose https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1354581429 No pro washer bottle and coolant bottle https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1354581429 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1354581429 FM stage I clutch w/10.3lbs FW https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1354581429 FM sways/Energy suspension bushings/ RB endlinks https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1354581429 TR motorsport w/ S.drive 205/50R15 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1354581429 So the winter finished like that So i got to the summer and keeped going New top and style bar delete https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1354581429 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1354581429 RB headers, custom intake heat shield. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1354581429 And that is how she sit before winter n.2! https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1354581429 |

Now for winter n.3
This is what i have in mind! Engine management(since i hate voodoo and static retard) This is were i am going to need you guys! Fuel(Fuel pump, Rail, Injectors) Coolant reroute Minor body fix This is were my mind is blinded, ECU's i never tuned a car before, but i work on cars everyday, and i troubleshoot them as well. i'm not sure on what ECU to go too w/ my non-experience. Checked out hydra for long, but they are expensive, and people around here don't seem to like it that much. Checked out alot the MS, but then i have a few choice(in plug n play) The MS2 PnP or the Braineak version MS3. Did'nt check much the Adaptronic or the AEM So do you guys have any suggestion on what to look for. i need a solid base map for sure. Remember i'm with stock interns, have a GT2560, and don't plan on much more than 10-12PSI And i am open on any suggestion for fuel pump, injectors and rail (i had Walbro 255, rx-8 inj., and M-tuned rail w/ some sort of ajustable regulator in mind) |

Hood risers have been removed!
Now I can get back to enjoying your progress. So far I'm liking it a lot. Good job |

Go megasquirt. Stock fuel pump is fine, get some 500+cc injectors.
Build looks great so far. |

I read alot of stock 99+ pump that they then to go lean approching redline, wich is with mine, i just don't know if it's that OR the injector, i'm still running stock injectors, wich i think are pretty small running 9psi.
|
That list pic is neat, lol.
And I agree it's your injectors.. Get an EMS and some injectors, then tune it. If you cant get enough fuel to run your target AFR (high 11's) then you may need a pump. Until then i highly doubt the pump is the issue. |
Nice car! FM really does make a nice kit.
|
basically you need all 3 to do it right.
if you're spending money on injectors and ems, its idiotic not to get a $80 walbro pump too |

yes. mine handled the 255 HP just fine.
others reported the same or you could just get the 190HP which is even cheaper and will still work just fine for your power level |

Unless you're running high fuel pressures the stock pump is fine. I don't really know why 18psi is recommending one.
Plenty of cars make 250+ with the stock pump, as long as you have appropriately sized injectors for the power you want to make and AFR's are holding steady (and PW doesn't spike dramatically implying the pump is not supplying the fuel you need). The stock pump can flow enough fuel for 300bhp, just. It's worth re-wiring it with it's own direct relayed fuse though See SlowMX5 - ECU and Electronics for guidance on re-wiring the pump. |
