yeah revhead, regional flights are notoriously scary, especially from gladstone, its $161 cheaper if he flew to rockhampton, and thats 107km further north, sometimes i just dont get it. As for the tuning side of things, im hoping to get a tune done thats adequate and safe to drive it to a shop then mark@godzilla can do the hard yards and get me the numbers!

The reply's and suggestions have been great guys, there greatly appreciated!!

Cheers, Allan

Nah Vipec installed today.

Sorry i mean i was having afm issues before i got the vipec installed and removed them. but the 02 sensor still seems to be another issue i have to address.

P.S. i saw your plates sitting on the snap on tool box today paul! :happy:

seemed to drive better on the way home, but that wouldnt be hard to do after running dodgey air flow meters. lol

but i didnt get it tuned for max power or anything pretty much stocko still at 0.8bar , want to conserve turbos etc till i decide to upgrade. but still have to look into the o2 sensor replacement.

But yeah mark was great to deal with very helpful.

Good bloke.

yeah he said he enjoyed working for you...he thought you were a little cautious/sensible...not really the normal customer. Most say turn the boost up...i want a big number etc...you however were patient until you have turbo's upgraded and all the proper support systems in place before turning the boost up. Its a nice safe tune that will look after your hardware till you are ready to take the next step.

a really hot soldering iron on the factory screws to remove them...dont forget to drill the hole for the vacuum line.

i pulled a power fc out of my rig to make way for the new vi-pec..... much better ecu and i got more power an torque with better driving on the street.

highly recomend.

mercury motorsport installed and tuned my in case ur curious.

so many on here would fail to accept this is actually possible...yes it was hard for them to fathom that something designed, engineered and built this century could actually be better than a similar product from last century.

Engine control is phenomenal...the Vi-PEC made my power fc look like a bucket...but i must admit i used to be an 'FC Fanboi' too.

Heh I'm at the point of doing a fuel system for my T88 powered FD and the power FC is just not up for it.... high impedance injectors only unless you want to run dodgy resistor packs, I'm trying to run the new Siemens 2430cc as secondarys and if I stick with the power FC I'll end up having to use something like an FJO / AEM injector driver

Seriously considering an M800 as that's what my builder uses in his car, but I may explore the VIPEC V88.

    • What could be causing my clutch problem besides a bad master or slave then? Both those parts are new 
    • Just came across this, but in QLD I start leave again in 2 weeks, if it is still available I might drive up and check it out Unless, @MBS206 do you live near here????, if so I could hit you up with a finders fee https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/hope-island/auto-body-parts/nc-mx5-factory-hard-top/1328976391
    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
