n00B in SoFlo
 

Hey guys just wanted to make an intro post! My names Chris and I'm from the South Florida area. I just picked up a 90' with about 160k miles, and its a dream. I've always wanted a Miata, specifically a turbo one. So i figured this forum would be the best to learn the ropes and meet cool people! I'm looking to get into self tuning, because when i get my turbo i want to be ready to deal with, and work out the bugs myself. Anyway here's some pics of the car.

Welcome to the site. Nice looking car. I assume you're on the east coast?

SoFlo is stupid. Don't say that.

You don't even know what south is, boy.

Yeah i live in the Palm beach area! Thanks man.

and yes i know SoFlo is stupid that's why i used it in the n00B post XD.

I actually picked up the car from the West Coast though, guy lived up near Tampa.

Pretty clean car, welcome :bigtu:

hi

Thanks fellas!

Psyber wanna trade powertrains for 100$ and a pack of beer. I swear my 1.6's 93whp gets up to blistering speeds XD.

buy my car

Thanks for joining, Chris_R!

Would if i could Psyber!

And no problem Braineack looking forward to learning the ropes with these little machines..

Brain is always nice & kind to the noobies :bigtu:

How you like your BEGI?

It came with the car when I bought it. No complaints since I have all my parts :dunno:

I've since put on a new turbo CHRA (gt2860), previous owners beat my car to hell and back. Original turbo was toast.

Prev owner also swapped a good BOV with some e-ghey unit that wasn't sealing. Causing boost leaks and made my MAF readings inaccurate.

Also came with a XEDE, & I hate it.

Looks clean though man! im probably going to try and shoot for the FMII kit with a megasquirt if i can. Seems the most hasslefree imo.

You'll do just fine here. :likecat:

May I recommend some Flow-Force Injectors, Or use ID725/1000s :bigtu:

Welcome to the forum. Yes, megasquirt is the way to go for these cars. The FM systems are good and complete. BEGi always gets orders wrong because they have incompetent management. MK Turbo is almost ready to go public and is going to be priced right.

Ive heard a lot about the Flow Force's, that was probably what i was going to incorporate. I'm definitely going to need a big injector because e85 stations are super abundant near me :D

And yeah sixshooter i did a lot of research before i even bought the miata to begin with FM stuff always seems so straight forward. I do personally like the Megasquirt better than the Hydra for my application though. i don't need a 2k standalone for what my plans are.
