Not another "need to dyno tune, where?" Thread!!!
Hey all.
Last I posted was due to an issue with a tune back in Colorado. Fast forwarding to this day. I have had it retuned somewhere else and the car ran fine. Moved to North California (between Sacramento and San Francisco) and I am having an issue finding a shop to dyno tune my NB1. Since then I got ITBs installed. The car runs well but I want to get it dialed in and not make it run stupid rich at certain speeds. My question now is: Who can dyno tune my NB1 in Northern California?

- RZcrew 45mm mesh filters
- Power Steering delete
- A/C Delete
- QMax coolant reroute

- BP4W
- Mazdaspeed Miata intake camshaft
- Flyin' Miata adjustable intake cam gear (1.5 degrees advanced)
- Fidanza adjustable exhaust cam gear (1.5 degrees retarded) My Fidanza gears slipped no matter what I did. I finally resorted to tightening them more than the posted tq spec and the bolts stripped/snapped. If you use these replace their crap bolts with good stuff and tq to the bolt mfr's spec
- Racing Beat 4-1 exhaust header
- Flyin' Miata full exhaust system 2.25" with high flow catalytic converter
- Jenvey ITBs
- Jenvey carbon fiber horns 60x45MM
- RZcrew 45mm mesh filters This style of filter does almost nothing to protect the engine, but actually disrupts the airflow more than a proper pipercross/ITG style filter since you're adding a **** ton of turbulence after you smoothed everything with the velocity stack.
- Power Steering delete
- A/C Delete
- QMax coolant reroute
- Supermiata CSF crossflow radiator
- MaxG water pump pulley (smaller for faster coolant flow) If you run higher RPMS consistently this can actually cause cavitation if you drive the WP too fast.
- NGK platinum spark plugs. .032 gap
- Autoexe triple core spark plug wires
- Megasquirt PNP2

Soot, Thank you for your input. the Fidanza has been fantastic and haven't had any issues with it. As for the filters, this is what I could fit on, the Jenvey pipe filter I have won't fit because of my stupid *** having a coolant reroute.... with borosilicate glass coolant hoses, that and the pipe filter alone has a hole in it so I have to replace it. The only issue I had with the pulley was that it took forever to warm up the engine, however I ran consistent 220 to 228 degrees on track. When I went to the OEM pulley, sure the engine warmed up right when it needed to, but on track I saw around 235 temps on track.

My Fidanza gears seemed fine at first but I checked them a couple years later and they had slipped almost 3 deg. I only mention it because I've seen others also have the same problem. If they're working for you great, just keep an eye on them haha.
One final side note, when I was running ITBS I 3D printed these spacers that went behind the ITG filter backplate to help me get a longer intake runner length but still have a stack that fit inside the filter. Based on my data unless you have a crazy high revving motor you probably want longer trumpets than most sell (I needed 110mm for my build with AE101 throttle bodies and the Garagestar adapter). These might give you the clearance you need to get around your hose
To get this back on track I've also only heard good things about Vlad's tuning, but can't speak firsthand for him.

Huh, I'm surprised that you're seeing temps that are that high with the rad you have and undertray etc. Might be worth looking into sealing up a bit more ducting, but it sounds like you have it handled.
