I have just installed a turbo into a GTS and have a few problems I thought you guys could shed some light on. The best way I can describe the problems is when it boosts from about 5psi up it starts to miss, but it only happens in third gear and over, and from about 3000 rpm and up. When the gas is let off the blow off valve does not release the pressure equally, it sort of flutters and the boost gauge jumps up and down rapidly in time with the fluttering. The parts that I got with the turbo are a GTST AAC valve and the o2 sensor. Do I need a GTST afm as well? Any info you guys can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You don't need a GTSt AFM. Make sure you have the DET injectors and make sure you have spark-plugs to suit a GTSt. Remember you make more boost in thrid gear than you do in 1st or 2nd so you should make sure your timing etc is done to accomodate the extra load in the higher gears.

And if anyone tells you that you can't turbo the NA tell them to bite your ass because I did it over a year ago and that car has since been sold twice and is still a rocket.

Running 9~10psi of boost is no problem, I even ran the stock intercooler, it's all in the tuning. I ran the NA computer for a while too as it runs CRAZY rich to keep the engine alive long enough to get it sorted.

Remember there are two ways to turbocharge...

Low compression High Boost

High compression Low Boost

The first is good for top end, the latter for mid range punch, which is why my 32 was so quick on the street.

Tuning, Tuning, Tuning. That's the key.

Little steps at a time.

Well got my car back today unchanged, the guy said its nothing to do with the timing but it looks to be an air/fuel problem. He ran out of time to do anything about it today. On Monday he's going to do tests and stuff with his oscilloscope. I just nodded a said OK as if I knew what he was talking about.

      I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.

      Wonder what the cause is, but here's hoping it's nothing too serious.

      People don't always want builds that are overly expensive, or have engineering/registration/insurance issues and head aches that come with them Whilst big dollar builds, and complicated stuff is interesting to watch, there is only a tiny % of people who would actually use this information, or have the spare finances to drop on said builds, whereas the buy a cheap(ish) cool car, and make it better, with a average budget, that the average Joe or Jane could achieve will always be a winner in my opinion

      Bit of a thread revival, you mentioned wanting a bit more top end before, do you regret not going with the 1.01?

      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.
