exactly why i told phil to steal my fuel tables and what-not and not burn the MSQ....

loaded basemap and changed required fuel so the car would idle, installed new ignitor, car fired up, tach now works again. Drive the car around the block seems great. THEN as soon as water temp hits 160 the same bullshit all over again, car sucks. I seriously don't think i could have possibly done anything wrong here.

change your Over Run fuel cut to be under 23 kPa....betcha that's it.

as of now anything over 160* & 2000RPM, and under 9psi will cut fuel

Good catch Scott-- that is almost definitely what's going on here. I just checked one of our base maps and sure enough it had 170kpa in the overrun settings, which definitely wasn't in there before when we set it up originally. Not sure how that happened but I'll fix it, check the others, and repost them now. My apologies!


EDIT: Just checked the maps and just the 'no afm' map had the wacky setting. The 'with afm' map was set at 17kpa which is fine on our car, though I set them both to 20kpa which will allow some tolerance in case some cars don't get quite as much vacuum on decel. This of course could need to be tuned if 20kpa still wasn't high enough to activate overrun, but will definitely prevent activation when it shouldn't happen, unless somehow you cruise at 20kpa. The thread at https://www.miataturbo.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=10267 has links to the updated maps...

Just finished my coffee... oh I get it!

That's great news on your LC-1...

While we're in the joking mood-- with overrun set to activate below 170kpa while above 160degrees you just need to make sure you're staying in the boost once the engine warms up. Never let it get under about 10psi and you'll be fine . Flat shift will help with that, and by the way works nicely with the MSPNP-- I've been playing with it lately. You do need a strong clutch though...

thank god, the car actually runs now!!! still needs much tuning, i'm running the narrowband for now and it runs really lean in most cruise situations, 18:1 to 23:1. in light boost it safely goes rich feels slow but i'm running no helper spring and no boost controller for now. but the car is now driveable now that i can go over 2000rpm and keep it under 10psi:gay:
