too much?
i think so..but if only gauges werent so awesome. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1377990046 |
Great build, any updates?
|
we finally wired up the MSPNP...
started the car and idled weird until the tmep went up..then it was a bitch to start nothing a temp sensor and a lighter couldn't do....bringing up the tmep on the sensor to 180 degrees allowed for the car to start it was funky though, but did the trick we still need to wire some things up, then is good for driving |

did some more modifications. fixed the convertible top, and installed a break out strip for the gauges..i just wasn't happy with the way the wiring was done.
wired up fuel, coolant temp and other gauges. car idles much better now and it no longer has the issue of not starting when hot. we found out that the timing was off by like 1 tooth, so rmeoved timing belt and redid timing, set the timing to zero with stock ECU, wired in megasquirt and configured timing..car idles so much better now. also wil be replacing the MAF with a IAT and installing a boost controller from DIYAutoTune. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1380127334 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1380127334 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1380127334 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1380127334 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1380127334 more wiring than i'd like to see,,,wire tuck will be done prior to paint. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1380127334 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1380127334 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1380127334 |
Did you have to modify the kit a lot? 9 hours is a lot of time. The couplers don't look that strong.
|
yea a little bit..not to much
9 hrs counts for design picking up some missing pieces lunch and energy suspension swaybar bushings.... and lazyness |

Hah! I have that same problem.
Better make sure you get that undertray reinstated. While your down there you might as well duct the whole thing too. You will need it. Trust Me:2cents: |
i need to find the undertray but yea, it'll be going back in.
now, i just love that fucking IC..it's like the perfect size too! |

i acquiered a cluster fuck of a car in November and put the miata on hold.
my brother got sick of the project and basically told me he was selling it...so i'm in a race against time to finish my other car, sell it and buy the miata from him. hence why i haven't touched the miata in a very long time. some updates: install a Garrett GT28R turbo in place of the china charger. fixed all the intercooler piping and may end up going 2.5 inch (i made the mistake with the 2.25, never again!) and connected all gauges and made them work. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1395780925 got an OEM shifter bushing kit https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1395780925 old shit https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1395780925 new shit https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1395780925 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1395780925 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1395780925 attemtping wire tucking., https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1395780925 need to get a bigger housing https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1395780925 fuel pressure sneding unit https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1395780925 wil post more once i start working on the car again... |
Maybe ive been looking a lot at Jeffs build too much but that wiring and placement looks funny.
