Ok; I've been giving it quite some thought lately and I decided to start this thread so that I (and anyone who wishes to do so also ) can put some links to FI info for those who are like me "mechanically challenged".

My hope is:

1) to keep a thread here of some of the links I've got on my computer (just in case I happen to have a problem with it as it's been the case in the past )
2) to try to provide some other members with useful links with regards to articles and FI info I've read on the web.


Having said that; I'm going to start posting links:

Engine Tuning Resources : Engine Tuning Videos/ Tips/ Basics/ Advice for Maximum Performance.

This link gave me the chance to read some articles on "tuning"

 

Engine knock: Engine knock detection and indication for all vehicles

 

Engine tuning: Engine Tuning Basics - Import Tuner Magazine

 

To select a properly sized compressor: Not2Fast: Turbo Calculator

 

WI: Alcohol and Water Injection - The Basics

 

good stuff....should be stickied for the noobs

 

Garret turbos: TurboByGarrett.com - GT Basics / Nomenclature

 

Coolant reroutes: Frank's Miata and Monkey Page

I found the info presented by Frank very useful. Many thanks Frank!

 

Ignition timing: Browser Warning

 

More on ignition timing: Tuning the LET

 

And more on ignition timing: Advance Ignition Timing: What Happens ? - Team Integra

 

If anyone else has any additional links to info on FI feel free to contribute

 

More info on ignition timing: HowStuffWorks "How Automobile Ignition Systems Work"

 

Selecting a turbo: Turbo Tech - Compressor & Turbine Housing - Selection - Hot Rod

 

These are great for tuning out detonation. After a few adjustments, you can really hear the spark advance sweet spot.

 

Thank you hustler. That's precisely the kind of link I'm looking for.

Keep'em coming!

Check out the links I put into my mega-sticky. The "stuff" section at the bottom might have a couple things you want to include.

 

I think this thread should ban any articles from Import Tuner. Just saying...

 

I think any newb looking for info should read Braineack's FAQs and your link: https://www.miataturbo.net/forum/t25737/ before reading anything else.

I decided to start this one because I had problems understanding some of the concepts related to turboing my car.

 

I don't understand your post. I'm just trying to put forth information for those who may be willing to read and draw their own conclusions.

If Import Tuner's info is crap, I'd have no problem with the mods deleting those posts.

I must say; it's been pretty troublesome for me to get the concept of "ignition timing". That is still the case to this day.
