Call boundary (or whoever your retailer was) and see if you can swap it.

If they havent shipped it yet they may be able to swap.
Otherwise, they may offer an exchange (ie: you send back the unopened shimmed pump, they send you what you want)

Short answer, call the retailer/maufacturer.

They’re just the washers under the return spring AFAIK. Remove the cotter pin, remove a shim, replace cotter pin.

This. Easy.

Sweet easy peasy.

Parts will be here tomorrow. yay!

Any reason to mess with the oil squirters? Seems on Wisecos people remove due to consistent metallurgy and expansion rates, but to me more oil seems like a good thing?

The most important thing with oil squirters and pistons is whether or not they make contact with each other. Aftermarket pistons are made a different shape than stock. Some say oil passages in the pistons make a difference in consumption but I've not seen it matter. Cooling matters for detonation, though.

There are many opinions.

Blysccr

👍 I’ll pass that along to my shop.

in addition to the passageways, any other miata tricks I should share? Hopefully dropping the parts off tomorrow. Depending on fedex.

Been thinking about maps a bit. Haven't heard back from a potential tuner yet. Still have time, going to drop parts off to the machine shop Monday. Shifting gears a little and finishing up the 4 link and coilovers on my jeep. Going to leave this here.

Blysccr

Shop would be done with my engine if Tasca was shipping parts normally. Can't get a hold of them #rona2020

Found a tuner

Looking for an e85 sensor so I'll be messing with that now too.

yay

What is a going price for a used EFR6258 and Fab9 manifold and downpipe?

Thanks!

SpartanSV

IIRC fab9 manifold means larger vband a/r exhaust housing which means you don't want it on your Miata.

Blysccr

Are you saying an EFR6258 won't be ideal on an nb?

msmola2002

0.64 A/R on the T25 6258 housing, the smallest V Band housing is a 0.85 A/R

SpartanSV

This. The v band turbine housing is bigger than ideal.

Blysccr

ahhh gotcha. Didn't see those options on their site, assumed there was one option on the 6258. Thanks for that!

Radium fuel rail

added some gold tape too! Bling.

also going to be welding the bung for turbo oil drain into the pan -10 bung and use a -8 adapter. For now.

made a sweet oil pan baffle too.

also busted my tooth through my lip today working on the Jeep. Talk about just pissing you off.

missing anything....else?





Took forever to get my oem gasket kit in, but was dropped at the machine shop today. My guy wasn’t there but the crank is balanced, block cleaned and squared up. Head taken apart, cleaned, 3 angle valve job done.

Blysccr

Going to do my return style fuel system tomorrow. I'm assuming that I'm supposed to pull the stock regulator out of the tank. Will have a fuelab regulator in the engine bay. Will do more research on that.

I'm planning on going

Fuel pump > screw in adapter > -6an line > 10 micron fuel filter > -6an line > GM Ethanol sensor > -8 an fuel line > radium fuel rail > -6an fuel line > fuelab 515 FPR > -6an > screw in adapter > return in tank

viola

Blysccr

1- doing this without an engine in the car for the first time is hard

2- ask me how to spend wayyy too much on doing this

3- probably should have just got the fab9 kit

4- anyone find a good source for the body and carpet clips to replace the ones I rage broke? G032-68-865A-39 but seem to be discontinued. Sweet. https://www.tascaparts.com/auto-part...rear-body-scat

Blysccr

Didn’t clean enough area at 9 o’clock. But welded inside and out. -AN10 enlarged to 9/16”. -10 to -8 adapter for my Wuhan Wirlyboi. -10 for potential EFR.

Are these the clips you're talking about?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/MAZDA-Miata...53.m2749.l2649

If so, they worked great for me. Follow their instructions and fold the tabs in with pliers or they'll be a little too stiff at first.

Blysccr

Yes, well same clip, I just need tan.

Romba

You could always Rit dye them.
