After alot of looking around and researching ive decided to take the plunge and burn some cash. Im just looking for some opinions about this list and wether i should add some more too it or if it looks like the right way to go. My car is already fitted with tein suspension and a turbo back exhaust.

Nismo 555cc injectors $860

greddy plenum $700

bosch 044 fuel pump $260

nismo adjustable fuel regulator $175

greddy m-spec cooler $630

hks ssqv BOV $300

air filter $100

Turbosmart External Wastegate $499

apexi pfc $1,500

z32afm $200

garrett gt30r $1,900

custom high mount manifold ??????

custom piping(cooler, intake) ?????

total $7124

Also Do these prices look right and how much would i be looking at for the custom parts. And what should i be looking at next?

Cheers Tim

imo dont get the greddy plenum and in turn that will alleviate needing cooler piping. just buy a cooler kit with piping and get an adj cam gear installed. and the adj fpr may not be needed either. set aside a few $$$ for tuning.

other than that it looks like a good list.

Dont forget if you go a greddy plenum factor in a different throttle body or a greddy adaptor plate for the stock throttle body. As said above go a Tomei/Nismo pump and ditch the bosch pump and the fuel pressure regulator. The Tomei/Nismo pump is very easy to install and you can't really mess it up like you can installing a bosch pump. Not saying they are bad pumps, just for the extra bit of money its better to go the Tomei/Nismo.

very nice man. i have pretty much same setup. only things i can really reccommend is getting a surge tank fitted.

also it might be an idea to purchase a cheapie engine that has shit itself, so u can fit this shit to it, and still drive your car. and while the engine is out u can fit forgies and shit. for full machining and install i was quoted at $6k. which aint too bad.

thats just a thought if u are chasing a fair bit of power. i bring it up because im heading down that road now :banana:

Thanks for the imput i've had another look around and im thinking that the tomei fp might be the way to go as there seems to be alot more work putting the bosch in. What sort of a clutch should i be looking at installing if do end up running this setup and is there anything else that i should consider doing before i go through with this.

    • It's kind of interesting - They definitely do builds that split the difference between what they like and what will generate views and engagement. The NC Platform always surprises everyone in a good way, in an uncomfortably good way some may say. They could throw a LS in there and arguably have the best (and best performing) car of the entire stable. But that isn't necessarily what draws views, because people viewing don't want to accept the vegetables of a LS NC MX5 being a superior vehicle in every way (including fun) than a RB26 240Z. This is also why there's not a lot of content about the GR Yaris (on the web in general). They're too good, yet 'only a Yaris' The community doesn't want certain cars to be as good as they are - to beat their hero cars, and I believe the NC MX5 is absolutely one of those cars.
    • Yeah - My key still does the chime thing. I followed the procedure but it didn't activate on the (identical) third set of keyfob that I had. I vaguely remember the alarm saying you can only pair two keys with it. Now that I've dug it up, it appears that you very much can pair keyfobs to the alarm system. (which are the fobs I use to unlock the car). I have successfully diverted the thread and can probably not use the OEM keyfob ever again unless I use the aftermarket alarm and attempt to pair the OEM keyfob to it. Which might just work, or not :D. I definitely used the nissan method and not the aftermarket alarm method.
    • What makes it worse is that Nissan made keys in the same style, for example R34 and Stagea, but they work at different frequencies or something like that. So they look the same but the remotes are not interchangeable. I learned that from some guy selling aftermarket blank keys.
    • Does your door chime work when you have the key in the lock and open the door? I've had that disabled because it's f**king annoying and it is one thing that messes with the pairing. Because now the car doesn't detect key in ignition anymore and the slide-key-in-and-out sequence does not trigger the pairing mode anymore. The service manual has a section on the various bits involved in doing the syncing. I presume it'll be similar between Stagea and R34.
    • Agree, but meh, I think is is based more on LOLS than actually apples to apples, like, who would have thunk a turbo 4 cylinder would not beat a NA 4 cylinder  I think with just basic N/A mods, like a exhaust and tune, it would be equal to the Mini in its current form, maybe I know my current 2.5 would "chop the mini" as the midrange now has a night and day difference in power delivery compared to the tuned 2.0, by around 20kwatw and 30nm from around 2k rpm "ish"....... I'm kinda hoping that they do a N/A build, either with the MZR 2.0 or with whatever they decide to use If I recall correctly they did talk about K swapping one a while ago
