The other night i was giving the GTR full throttle and when i backed off it just stuck there bouncing off the limiter :O. My pedal was not stuck, this was the first thing i checked before shutting the engine off. When i restarted it was fine, it was going ok so i gave it 80% throttle still fine, so i tried full throttle again and it stuck again.

now i had a look under the bonnet, butterfly linkages move freely fine, however the very last butterfly near the firewall had a plug from the wiring loom rubbing against it, now i THINK that this was causing the issue because ive since moved it away and it may have fixed the problem but ive only given it full throttle a couple times since and it hasn't stuck.

the motor is built but the only part unknown is the oil pump, which makes me not wanna risk this problem happening again, any input or theory is welcome.

what i cant understand is when i shut the engine off and on again it was no longer stuck, if the electrical plug was wedged up against the butterfly jamming it from springing back i cant see how it would free up after turning the engine off and on again. for now im gonna spray up all the moving parts i can see without ripping things off with some CRC.

^^ It does? you got pre-ignition, torn engine mounts or something equally as stupid going on.

op.. seems you have fixed your own problem.

abit of exageration, but it will rock enough to loosen itself surely.

I hit the limiter all the time with my N1 pump!

But ye, it'll be that piece of loom by the sound of it.

I had it happen with a stray hose on my RB25 years ago, no idea how the hose even got loose/into where it did. Mysteries :)

      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).
