Been here a year, but no one even knew I existed
 
Hello MT,

Long time lurker of the forum and huge fan of the amount of very knowledgeable and helpful people on here.
I am 21 and a rising senior in college.
I have a '90 miata with a '91 long nose swapped in to it (stock '90 died on me).
The '91 is a fresh engine that I got from a spec miata shop out of California, or at least so they said.

Goals:
I'm currently in the middle of installing my turbo setup that I want to run.
Where I live track days might happen once maybe twice a year for me. But Autocross and Drag strips are readily available.
So far after the 3 years of owning my car I have just enjoyed learning the most. Another goal of mine is to just continue to learn.

Mods:
So far you already know about the new motor in the car.
I also mentioned that I am in the middle of adding a turbo to this list.
Turbo setup that I currently am working with is a TD05H-14B I have the manifold and downpipe to accommodate already.
Oil feed, oil return, and water lines have been run as well.
CX Racing Intercooler and piping.
Megasquirt 2 PNP ECU (Base map with some VE Analyze when it was N/A).
Deleted MAF along with MS with GM IAT sensor.
1.8L Injectors (Tuned for them in MS).
Ebay Short Shifter Kit
Weighted Shift knob.
Innovate MTX-L Wideband.
GlowShift Boost gauge.
NGK plugs and wires.
Tein Street Basis Coilovers.
Ruff Racing Wheels w/ cheap Nexen summer tires (looking to replace these with Toyo Proxes).
Minor weight reduction.
NRG Quick release steering wheel

Currently where I stand on the project is I'm having a hard time bolting the manifold, turbo, and downpipe together due to clearance issues with steering shaft.

Also has anyone used the Live version of VE Analyze? Was thinking about getting that for when I get everything back together and running.

I will post pics of the car in the near future as I am currently at work :)

VEAL makes tuning easy while you drive. If you havent already the Tunerstudio MS Ultra and Megalog View HD are both worth the money

I figured it would be worth it given it's only $60.

It is well worth buying both the pro versions of TunerStudio and Megalog viewer. The devs who make them are extremely nice and knowledgeable. They are even only about an hour down the road from you in Mooresville NC.

Oh really? That's awesome. I will get both of them for sure now.
