Yeah, was referring to the stock ecu.

The emanage will modify an existing signal (x +/-) so if/when the stock ECU changes it's tune, you'd see a change in the overall tune.

yeh thats true.. but i guess its something we could probably never confirm..

Scott: is there a pinout for oil pressure?? or of the similar perhaps?

oh yeh i know that, i thought initially he was talking about the emanage having inputs.

after speaking to craig i think my problem is the fuel pump.

seeing as i bought it off the same person, i come to the assumption that they are fake.

Failing fuel pump = Less Fuel = Higher AFR? Makes sense to me.

Was it an ebay store you guys bought through?

yeh it was.. scott laughed at me when i told him lol.

I have a shop that sells them locally for $130, and are a genuine Walbro Disto.. so will definitely go and get one once i test it with scottys spare tomei one..

FWIW, craig explained what happens when his would die. and its exactly what mines doing..fuel pump may have just coincidentally shit itself while i did the oil.

come to think of it, the car was stuttering on idle the night before after a spirited drive..

thanks everyone

lol... perhaps something you could have told us earlier?

didnt think it was necesary. my when it did this my AFR's were showing 10. 10 being the minimum of my gage so it could well have been richer

so i found it wasnt the fuel pump, wasted $130 on a original walbro...

Cihan had a look at the tune and was confused as it had gone all over the place..

i explained that i fixed an oil isue(in detail)..

he retuned it back to AFR's of 11 on WOT.

a f**kING noticable difference from the last tune which was at 285kw.. now at full throttle in the dry i loose traction at the end of first gear..with the pirellis.

so ive made a significant gain of power.. also my boost issue has gone away and is now sitting at a comfortable 20 psi right through the rev range.. however ill still be getting a larger wastegate and running it..

he also said im close to 80% of injectors lol

im one happy camper today.. f**king glad somethings gone right for a change

Youve neglected to tell us what the new number is :P

i dunoo it was a road tune..

he guestimates from last time that its definitely above 300awkw.. only to get more once i change the wastegate lol

it has to be over that as a 15 kw difference isnt this noticable at all

Haha, never happy are you mate. :whistling:

The general consensus is more boost not less. What are you worried about? :ninja:

coming from the guy whos putting a GTX in his Stagea.

hey if i can open up that wastegate, and run the power that i have now, at lower boost, i'll be happy!

honestly if i find that ill make over 300.. i'll ask him to de tune it back to 300awkw i actually dont want to run more than that, as its probably close to shitting the internals.. honestly you need to take it for a drive today its fkn different to the last tune..

Engine? Doubtful.

Transmission? Maybe (I still reckon the stock box with a shift kit will handle it)

    • Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.
    • Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true

    • Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
