Owned my Miata for three years. Purchased bone stock after a wreck and have completely restored the car from a rebuilt motor to a new interior, paint and body. I have done all the work myself, except for installation of the rebuilt motor and the paint.

The rebuilt motor was done at 218,000 miles. The Rotrex went in at 223,000 miles and the clock is sitting just about 230,000 today. |
I don't get it.

Rebuilt stock motor and SC?
Banned. |
Your car is clean but:

so,
no ignition/timing control what-so-ever kill yourself |
Dude carbon fiber spark plug cover and STB? That car must be really fast.

BRO DO YOU EVEn mod
|
Have you really added 5 more things that need vacuum sources than factory? o_O
|
:noes: Tough crowd.

The block manifold was $20 off eBay and I love it, just like I love the CF hard top & plug cover, aftermarket shift knob and quite a few other things I did just for aesthetics. Don't really need any of them but they make me happy in my pants. |
Ebay rods cost like $300. I know it's a failcharger so it doesn't make any torque, but if you already had the motor apart you are retarded for not putting rods in.
Your stock ECU doesn't know how to control timing in boost, which is what he meant by "nothing to control ignition/timing". It would actually be better if literally nothing was controlling the ignition because at least if your motor isn't running it can't blow up. |

It would actually be better if literally nothing was controlling the ignition because at least if your motor isn't running it can't blow up. As for the ignition/timing, the AEM will take care of all of it. The motor is not in any danger of blowing up right now because it is running baseline rich with the RRFPR, leaning out to 12.5 at WOT in the upper rpm ranges, according to the PLX. I'm not saying the RRFPR is a great solution, but it is definitely better than nothing. It's actually well matched to the centrifugal charger because boost is delivered linearly with RPM. So right now my mpgs sort of suck and I might be killing my cat... But besides that I don't have any problem running this kit off the shelf for a year or so. The AEM should be a nice bump in power along with better mpgs once a quality tune is in place. |
Welcome to the site Jumbosrule, thanks for joining up!

I want details on the catch can. I read about Saikoy Michwhatever on MotoIQ awhile back and they seemed to have good stuff. Tell me more.

Are you trolling? 12.5 in boost and no timing retard?

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1367065648 Yes nudge, I was trolling, same as your last four posts in this thread in less than 24 hours. It's fun for me too. |
You're running on borrowed time if you're really just dumping fuel as your tuning "solution". One thing that always makes me laugh is people saying, "I'm just running it like this for now until I get real engine management." I'm sure your motor understands and will try it's hardest to keep itself together.
Reminds me of Hyper and his dyno showing 14.5:1 AFR's "I can't afford MS right now, so I gotta run it like this." Ditch the ricer ass INVADERZ body kit. |
Welcome! I'm not into body kits (although my front end will deem me a hypocrite) but your car is super clean. Very nice!!
Get some squirt in that car man!!!! Lol |

Get some squirt in that car man!!!! Lol The car was in a wreck before I bought it and the body kit choice was twofold; front and rear bumpers plus side skirts was less than the cost of a new OEM bumper, support and air dam. I never installed the side skirts but still have them. And second, I flat out like it better than OEM, which I think looks a little anemic. The from end is so much better with this kit, IMO. So those who think it looks ricer, whatever... call it whatever you want and I'll continue to rock it proudly. I think it's awesome. |
