So i have had my 5 for a few months now and am just about to finish painting it so im now looking to gain some BHP.
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1403200563 So im going down the turbo route and i want to know what would happen if i bolted a turbo on with out any fuel or new ECU. 2. what your views on rising fuel pressure regulator. i have heard they ruin your MPG and as mine is a daily driver i need the MPG. 3. are you able to just remap the stock ECU. thanks guys i have been reading up on this for a long time and im just working it all out before makeing my mainifold and finding a turbo and start to build up my kit. |

lol. no i have been reading for a long time. the one thing im stuck on is the fueling. and the issue is most foums just say dont do this and do this instead of saying WHY not to do this.
So guys why should i not use a rising pressue reglator and why cant i use the stock ECU. just so i understand more why to go down the piggyback or standalong ECU route |

Why shouldn't you use an FMU? Because they're garbage. Why can't you use the stock ECU? Because it's for a stock motor making stock power, naturally aspirated. Why shouldn't you use a piggyback? Because they're garbage. Why should you use a standalone? Because they're awesome. Why didn't you already know all these things? Because you haven't done a damn bit of research yourself. |

I echo concealer's answers. You sound as though you still have a whole lot of learning to do. Especially if you are planning to turbocharge your DD. For that to even be a feasible option you need to COMPLETELY understand how every part of your turbo system operates, the possible problems that could occur, and be able to answer simple questions like these yourself.
This is coming from someone who is about to swap in a fully built motor with a big boy turbo setup into my primary vehicle. Every time I touch my car on the weekend it has to be back together and running Monday morning. This requires a complete understanding of what I am getting myself in to and a lot of help from friends on this forum. You can't half ass this shit and expect good results that you will be satisfied with on a DD. |

WAY over their efficiency threshold. One day, an injector is going to Quit opening, and your motor will go boom.... And based on the questions you have asked thus far, That pretty NB you have there, will be no more than a paperweight if it blows, Because a rebuild would be WAY out of the question |
Did you paint the car without primer/prep?

He was comparing doing shitty prep work for a turbo setup to do shitty prep work for paint. The results will suffer tremendously. You should purchase a standalone (megasquirt preferably) and some injectors and get it running NA before you take any further steps to turbocharge the car. |
oh guys so whats the most cost effect stand alone ECU out there. dont want cheep cheep but dont want to throw all that money at a meggascurt. what about a microsqurt

I would suggest not turboing your vehicle. |
