that map better be a 4 bar

 

Im pretty sure it's a 3 bar. Im planning on 25psi max boost.

 

looks like im retarded and got the wrong idle air controller. i needed a pwm but got a stepper motor set up instead. to use the stepper setup i would need to lose 4 of my relay controls from my ms3x. im cutting my losses and just going with an 01 ford mustang pwm iac and making my own block.

 

small update: tail lights are just about finished. i gutted the stock tail lights and am sticking some cheap 6" oval trailer lights inside them. im gonna sandblast and paint them at some point and try to polish the insides. the rest of the wiring is slowly but surely coming getting there

 

I took advantage of my time off for christmas and sorted out the majority of my cooling system. Upper and lower radiator hoses and heater lines are all in place. Upper radiator mount is finally done. The only part left in the cooling system is the lines to and from my wastegate.

 

finally found more racetruck time. picked up a fusion5 windows 10 tablet and put tuner studio on it. started wiring up the engine today, i have tps, clt, iat, boost controller, idle controller, injectors, and map sensor all wired up in that bundle of crap under the intake. hopefully tomorrow ill get the coils, and miata cam/crank cas sensor hooked up. im still trying to sort out where i want my a/c receiver dryer mounted so i can wire up the a/c control.

 

more progress toady(and yesterday) filler neck fabrication is complete. i ordered all hoses to connect everything. finding E85 compatible filler neck stuff is a pain, i needed 6 inches of 1", 4 inches of 2" and 6 feet of 5/8" so it will get here when it gets here. All the engine wiring is done except the wideband innovate LC-1. I ran the ABS sensor wires into the cab but not sure how to use the ford 8.8 abs sensor signal to make a PPM signal for the ms3pro yet.

 

we better be tuning this by June

 

Maybe sooner if everything gets here, I ordered the jbperf vr conditioner for my vss signal, fuel lines are ordered, timing belt kit will be here today, turbo gaskets just showed up, I'm gonna pull the engine today or tomorrow to have FW Motorsports build me my AN turbo oil feed and drain and fuel lines, brought the wide band to work to wire it up today, have a message into deatschwerks to get a DW400 that will fit in my sender. I need to make a to do list for all the odds and ends.

 

the dw400 is a universal bosch unit. so it comes the same no matter what that I know of

 

That's what deatschwerks said so I ordered the universal 9-401-1001 DW400

 

Damn those are back in stock? When I wanted to pickup the wheel speed sensors on the miata they looked like they were permanently out of production AND it cost me more money to copy the circuit myself.

 

I hope so... the money came out of my account lol

 

fuel tank filler done, dw400 pump installed, it dwarfs the dw200 out of my e85 1988 mazda 323. got the fuel level sender wired to ms3x. i also started mocking up my throttle cable but feel retarded cause i cant make it work like i wanted so i wont post pics till im done.

 

im not a fan of the looks but it will function properly. fuel pressure regulator is installed on the frame rail. flex fuel sensor is relocated and rewired. nylon vacuum line will be in on monday to connect the fuel pressure regulator to the intake manifold. smoked checked the completed fuel system and there are zero leaks!

parts that should be here in a week or so:
JBPerf VR Conditioner circuit to convert abs signal on rear axle to a usable speed signal
-6AN fuel lines to connect chassis to fuel rail
-4AN oil feed to turbo with fittings
-10AN turbo drain line with fittings
1/2 NPT tap and drill bit to punch a hole in my block for turbo drain




things left to do:
make an accelerator pedal that works
fit a/c receiver dryer
wire a/c cycling switch on receiver dryer
make a/c lines
attach ebrake cables to hand brake lever
build shift lever
turbo oil feed
drill hole in side of block and tap with 1/2NPT for turbo drain
turbo oil drain
exhaust and muffler
pressure/coolant lines to wastegate
after running/driving at full weight: get it on corner scales to order springs(currently on spacer sleeves)
im sure thers more...

 

Usually you want the flex sensor before the regulator, but probably no big deal.

 

As long as the pump can out flow the injectors there should be enough bypass to register properly

 

Wait. You ran 2 fuel lines from the tank to the engine bay and then still put the fuel pressure regulator by the tank without a vacuum reference? AND you put the flex fuel sensor on the return side of the regulator. Why do you hate yourself like this?

 

Correct, and yet I believe it was @psyber_0ptix that we were tuning that had some serious fluctuation in E% readings during big boost/big power pulls that were messing with his tune

 

And moving the flex sensor on the high side cured it all and signal was butter smooth.
