How did it go?

Also, as per his o2 sensor thread, it is currently being tuned with no air temp sensor in place (link ecu with a map)

What do you think of that Lithium?

Cos I'm a mad detective I am going to say spark issues. (He is chasing coils)

stalker much! lol. yer thats correct, coil pack was knackered. got some spitfires and all good. Hopefully find out in the next couple hours.

although there is a problem that wont be fixed this time so wont be a decent reading anyway id imagine

Yer i got my wires crossed. i got word that i needed a sensor from someone who spoke to someone who spoke to someone and the info finally got back to me. I thought they said o2 sensor. In fact was was needed was a temp sensor. and rushing to finish it up for this weekend i didnt have a time to do it with it being in tuning last night... So as soon as the weekend is over will install one and go again anyway

Well, that's obviously not ideal. Fortunately PV=nRT, so there is no need for the tune to be a complete throwaway at all. Datalog and keep an eye on IAT etc, if it HAS to go ahead a switched on (hurhurhur) tuner will at least be able to factor that in and make some compromise to ensure that if an IAT sensor gets introduced later then things don't go insane, while also providing a tune which while compromised is usable.

haha i have no idea what any of that is..... but will post results when it comes to hand.

And then after the weekend ill get it installed and go again.. especially for a $30 part.... My lack of knowledge and Chinese whispers got me confused or i would have already had it done

Haha yeah it seems I don't really know what I am talking about either, so don't listen to me!!! :)

Good luck with the tuning, I hope it goes as well as can be expected! Should be able to still get a pretty good performance out of it, even if short on it's potential!

Having problems with fuel. Fuel pump isnt drawing enough to make it work to capacity.

Plus a couple other minor issues.

So for the sake of the weekend its tuned to 16.5psi and 335kws

So.weekend on, but car not sorted. Gee owning cars are fun

Thanks guys. A bunch of little things to tidy up but guess that what happens when rush to finish up.

Theres a vaccum or boost leak somewhere so laggy. But good enough to have some fun on the weekend

Thanks mate

Unsure its an elimination thing not a timed thing.... But with it not running properly and boost coming on so late all i was doing was frying the slicks for the most part.

But it took care of a heap of the V8 boys. Cant wait to get it running well...

I did see that was coming up, ill give this one a miss till its sorted, but will give that a crack asap!

    • 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.
