Turbo Miata experts in Phoenix?
#26
Ordered a black boot cover to hide the top when it's down.
Will be installing Bipes and o2 clamp tonight. Had to buy an inductive timing light today. Miata coil/plug wires did not like the old non-inductive one I have. Shocked the **** out of me a few times! Also didn't always make a good connection so I couldn't be certain what the timing was set at. Looks like base was dialed back to 4*. Should be much more responsive down low when I set to 10-12* base with the Bipes!
The DIY faq by Braineack and the search function are definitely good resources. Took me a bit to find install instructions for the o2 clamp since I bought one used. Good ole Google did the trick though.
Anyone know a good place to dyno in Phoenix? Gonna get it close with street pulls but would like to throw it on a dyno to check my work

Also, recommended settings on Bipes for conservative tune in AZ heat with **** 91 octane we have here?
Planning on...
12* base
8* retard
1* per 30C Air Temp
2000/3600 Start/Full RPM
Hoping to up boost to 8 psi. I should have the fuel pressure, but I only have 1.6 injectors:(. Also, not sure if I'll have the knock control with 91 octane and just a small intercooler to go above 6 psi.

Some pics to keep it interesting...
Quite proud of my wideband install. Even got to use my welder View from driver's seat...
Engine bay cleaned up a bit, still needs work, but this definitely is a driver, not a show car
Interior is pretty mint, except faded to blue carpet behind seat and tan top that has been dyed black That will be covered by the black vinyl top my wife won for me on ebay
I'll get it out of the garage this weekend and post some exterior shots even though I seem to be talking to myself

Getting conflicting info on ecu pinout on 1.6 for installing Bipes and o2 clamp.
The instructions with Bipes says...
Ground, 2A or 2B, Black
+12V, 1B white/red
Air temp, 2P red/Green
Airflow, 2O, red
CAS, 2E, white
Pinouts I have seen here on mt.net for the 1.6 have been in conflict with the above. What is right???
Also, Need o2 sensor pin for installing o2 clamp. Is that 2N, red/blue?
Thanks!

This thread/post confirms the instructions with Bipes and also confirms 2N as o2 sensor. Hopefully I can relax and continue install...

Car runs very well at 6psi. FMU is set up pretty darn good with restrictor on vacuum and dual check valves on needle valve.
Taking it in today or tomorrow to get it emissions tested.
Unfortunately, I may end up selling it. Found out last weekend, we are expecting our 4th child! Need to upgrade my wifes BMW 540i to something MUCH bigger. May sell off the Miata also to help fund a new family mobile.
Any idea what it's worth? White paint is crap and flaking, but the rest of the car is nice.

Car is running very well! Did a nice drift around the block Decided to throw it up on craigslist:( Would like to free up some cash for a minvan for wife and/or finish my VR4.
