hello
 

my name is calvin, i'm an active member on mx5atlanta
i am having a rough time deciding on whether or not to get a Voodoo 2 kit or BeGI S3, thus i have come to research!

Welcome! What are your power goals?

preferrably 190-210whp. all while passing emissions, apparently it can be done with a Bell S3, stock injectors, and zoom3 ecu (and a few other mods)
which brings me to the fact i hear nothing but good about FM, and complaints with Bell (i.e. shipment taking months, not as easily assembled,etc.)
but bell's horsepower numbers attract me

FM spent A LOT of time developing a manifold/down pipe design so it could be easily assembled, incorporating a lot of space for wrenches I have a few BEGI products and they're all awesome, but they're also all used, so I have no experience with their shipping. I'd like to say that FM's low HP numbers are due to their fairly high altitude, bring an FM car down to a lower elevation and it should be closer to BEGI's in terms of power output.

I've learned my lesson... stay away from anything that requires you to hack the factory wiring harness (Voodoo) and stick with an ECU that will PnP (ZOOM3). You can mix&match parts as well... if you decide you like the FMII hardware, you can always buy it without the Voodoo and buy a Zoom from BEGi.

Tell us more about your goals, what the car will be used for, budget, year of car, etc... better yet, put your vehicle in formation in a signature like Curly's or Dustin's.

yeh, haven't gotten that far yet
as of now it's a 2003 6speed, Bilstein's,R_Speed intake, HD Hard Core Double Diagonal, BOSE, Torsen, 99300 miles. my goals are well not appropriate for a forum but i will say id like to be "quicker" than stock mustang gt's, and a few others, i know it can be done with 200whp in a miata, but i dont have the maturity for an FMII or Bell s4 kit :lol: i think ill leave it at 200 sounds like a good number for me

*edit- saved signature but not appearing for some reason...is showing up on user CP

Welcome to the site.

I have the Voodoo, it really was no problem to install. But with that said, the ONLY reason I went that route was because I did not have the time to tune real fuel management. I will be swapping the Voodoo out as soon as I return home. As for FM, they do rock, their stuff is solid, well tested, and works. I went with the Voodoo kit and I am very impressed, at 6psi and super super super rich with horrible timing the car was still very fast. There is still a lot for me to tune out of that setup.

Anyways, welcome!

Welcome.

Big +1 for proper engine management.

hello

won't let me unselect
oh well... guess ill make the sig pic
looks like this is my new home for 6months
my over liberal british mod banned me haha

what the hell did you get banned for?

panda said he hated white people
so i said i hated black people
just for the hell of it, i think he's AZN or something
and you know jacks a self-hating libtard so he gave me points
and i said F*ck it why not go all out
sent him a rather nasty PM back and left a visitor comment

im really not worried about it though, this site seems more entertaining and educational i just don't have my own smiley here :(

ur nutz man! hahaha

you know this
but i cant stand libs
hell he's not even a citizen

Welcome to Miata Turbo Calvin, to have an avatar here you must be a donating member. I hope your stay here is beneficial for yourself and others. I have no hard feelings against you as a person and think that your heart is in the right place. If by liberal you mean concerned with the image given off by our local website, then yes I am. I do not tolerate racial remarks and it's not hard to see what would happen given previous situations. I'm sorry you feel the way you do and hope we can move forward.

-Jack

I should let you have an avatar simply for hating liberals.






hating black people is a bonus?! wait..what?!?1

jack, was anything said to Panda about his racial remark as to hating white folks?

Unless both people were banned...

Well, if only the person who said they hate black people is banned, the real racist would be the moderator.

honestly who cares.

So Jack, when are you going to finally just fucking get rid of Simon? You know, I know, and Yellow dog knows that he is just a God damn pest who posts just to be that annoying fuck. He contributes NEGATIVE amounts of information on there. Hell, half the board has told him to fuck off as well. Shit, he has no interest in the point of the board, Miatas and will never be anything more than that screaming child that sits in the corner and annoys everyone and has probably run off several members who just don't care to deal/see with his constant bullshit.



Calvin... welcome over. You'll do fine..especially if you use correct sentence structure...I'm not kidding. And yes, you have to donate a whopping $3.50 a month to open up special user options. I love this place so much, I pay $7 a month.... and I didn't even get a t-shirt.

true that but i could care less

why thank you good sir! i will get around to donating and def. purchasing the turbo kittuh shirt...it is all win!!!
is there an ignore function as i really don't want to see the brit libtards postings?

of course not he was kidding, as was I with our lol smiley at the end
w/e

i like it already, the only problem is i barely know anyone so i stay out of the off-topic section as much here ha, i been reading the pages of turbo info though. i think my final answer is FM kit no electronics, Xede with 550cc injectors, get around 200-210 and call it a day!

i wont say anything more than this.....................well said mike!

oh and when i see that kids post this happens > :crx:

The racial remarks didn't get Calvin banned, just to clarify. The resulting actions combined with previous offenses did. And yes, both parties got dealt with accordingly.

Mike, I don't straight up ban people just because of their posting style. If you see a post of his that breaks a site rule and causes problems then just let me know and it'll be dealt with. Otherwise, I recommend the Ignore facility in the control panel if you still don't like his posts.

Anyway, it's ridiculous to carry on this conversation over on a completely different forum. Once again, welcome Calvin, enjoy your stay here.

You need to learn to ban people for being useless tools. I mean, how much more obvious can it be that no one over there wants him on there? Most of the damn forum has told him to fuck off...is that not enough? Hell, in my thread about my mirror he replies with "I have a can of spray paint", Jesus fucking Christ if that is not being a damn tool and trying to start something...you know that. Hell, all he has done is talk shit about you and MX5 on other forums. Hell, he straight up admits he is just there to start shit.

Hi Calvin :giggle:

I never post here but I just thought I'd be part of the welcoming committee

Like I said Mike, just keep on pointing them out to Nick, Eric or me at the time they happen and we'll deal with 'em. I'm done for the semester so I can keep a closer eye on what's happening. If he acts a tool then the consequences will follow.

Heya Jenn. Thanks I don't feel so newb'd now. BTW love the exhaust!

and yeh I agree Simon is annoying as shit, I buy/sell/contribute he does none of the above just troll

Dammit Calvin...where the hell have you been?
