Thanks.
Another thing i thought of about your overheating issue.
I noticed you aren't using an intercooler, i'm suspecting that your IAT's are pretty high. Could be even high enough to increase the coolant temperature.
I guess just start removing the bandaids and installing proper modern parts.

Yeah I was thinking that was part of the problem as well. I'm well aware of what I need to take care of. I drove the car home and it is parked outside where it will set until i get the parts. Im going to message the one guy on here to get a MS for it but from the looks its only the board. Is it meant to fit in the stock ECU case or what? I've built my own gen 1 MS for my 240sx but it looked way different.
As far as intercoolers go, I dont want to spend the $700 + for the flyin miata one but I dont want to cheap it out either. What all experiences have you had with Intercooler kits?

80% of us run ebay intercoolers and piping on this site. 20% of us run a "name brand" intercooler like myself (i have one for sale in the FS section BTW). FWIW i had an ebay one, it didn't work as good as my vibrant core one. But it will work plenty fine for a moderate amount of power.
You can get a DIYPNP from diyautotune.com or whatever it is. You can buy a MSPNP. You can have Brain, or reverant build you one.
Buy a wideband. You should have a bung on that exhaust somewhere for one.
I suggest the purchase of a wideband first and foremost. You can always wire it into the MS later.
