my point is, ignore the fuel level gauge...it really is irrelevant... What matters is how far you can go at race speed. Find out. Record it carefully. Keep track of distance traveled on track during race. OEM dash gauge is useless. |
Dang, This discussion is still going on....Good to know that no one else knows our secret:fawk:

Let me take a guess. Run a bigger fuel cell ? Chump allow stock capacity +2 gallons (more depending on tank size, but for Miata it is 2).

Enlighten us oh wise one.

1. Hide aftermarket ECU (I.e. megasquirt) in stock ECU box.
2. Lean out 3. ??? 4. Profit |
Just put one of those magnet pill things around the fuel line. Supposed to increase mileage by up to 30%. That should do it.

That's too lean for my liking in an endurance car. If I could find a way to stay around 12.5 on the oem ecu I would be golden.
The other way to do it is to get the ecu reflashed.

We run a 95 325i in Chump.
With the stock diff (3.46 gears), we can go 2 hours. We changed the rear end to a 3.73 from the junkyard and the car started sputtering through turn 4+5 in Portland after 1:20h. While it was the perfect ration for that track (just hit redline at the end of the straight), not being able to run the full 2 h cost us. So slightly lower gearing might get you through 2h. |

We calculated it the easy and safe way....fill the tank to the brim....run like hell for 20 min straight...flat out 7000rpm shifts...etc....
fill with fuel... do maths assume the shitty miata will only run down to 10-11 gallons... The run it till it hicups hard has run us out of fuel on track before...which sucks in the summer.
