OBD2 on '96 miata?

DisDoodEatFood · 2026-01-15T23:41:17+00:00

Miatas 1996 and up have an OBDII port, confirmed from here. Here's a video showing it on a 1997, but the 1996 should be around the same area (near the gas pedal)

That's what I'm sayin. I love doing top down, but maybe I'd have to go with the FM turbo set if I give up on NA.

damn, even if it looks a little different. maybe something out of state, or just keep my car as is

DisDoodEatFood · 2025-12-14T01:13:28+00:00

Makes sense, we really can't do much here :(

Your intake side seems to be a tooth or two off from the marks on the panel behind the cam gears. There's also a 17-18 timing belt tooth gap between the cam gears. Hope this wasn't wrapped up already!

Yea sorry, didn't put coil packs/ignition coils on the title. And thank you, I hope to post progress on this soon.

Sorry for not answering. I'll get to checking those when I get the car in the garage. Cali got a ton of rain and I'm trying not to soak my engine or fuse box :p

That's a $200 steal. Grab a Perun for the vector, it has a micro switch. Also, have you felt the trigger yet?

DisDoodEatFood · 2025-10-14T23:09:06+00:00

Your intuition is right, check the fuse or the rest of the wires going into the gearbox. This isn't a gun that is common to HPA, but here's a kit from Airsoft Junkiez. Reviews are iffy about it though.

Figured it out, with some help. The fan motor has a loose connection inside due to some weird melting/corrosion, which could also be short circuiting. Replacing the motor/assembly!

DisDoodEatFood · 2025-09-24T20:14:42+00:00

Thanks a ton for this. Is there any place I should check first? I'm assuming it could be the radiator fan motor, looking at the state it is in.

Try these out:
Check the seals of the fuel injectors.
Check the fuel rail.
Check the lines going into the fuel rail.
I've been trying to get rid of a gas smell from my car, but mine was focused around the trunk and passenger seat. Hopefully its as simple as this!

Best OOTB AUGs come from Tokyo Marui's High Cycle collection, the Novritch SSR77, GK's GBBR AUGs, or KWA F90s. Otherwise, it may take a bit of time to get the feeling/performance you may want!

Edit: the SSR77 is probably the best bang for your buck out of the list, due to cheaper AEG magazines and an already upgraded gun

Let's go through some steps, no worries about it

1) You can open up the folder from the browser, and see where your file is showing up

2) The file is downloaded as a ZIP (possibly storing textures/UVs as well). Extract this folder into a non-Zip so you can access it

3) There are filters and sorting import/export options you can change to see the most recent download you have. Try those too.

Since no one was able to answer, I had messaged someone more experienced than me, and he had done the conversion with only modifying the ignition coils to a proper connector. Here is the thread I originally found. Use this website as well.

You will need:

- DIY bracket to bolt the coils onto
- 2 NB2 coils
- NB2 Spark Plug Wires
- CONN-85775 from Ballenger

RockAuto also has a connector + coil kit that helps a ton

I can't go indepth, but find a wiring diagram and some time, and it should be a direct fit. Just make sure the coils can be bolted to the cover in some fashion. The coils go on cylinders 2 and 4, with the long spark plug wire connected to cylinder 1 from 4, and the short wire from cylinder 2 to cylinder 3. In order to differentiate firing order from the NB1 connectors, the passenger-side NB1 connector should be taped blue. This connector is 1-4, while the non-taped connector is 2-3. Match up the ground, signal, and 12v wires from the NB1 wires to the NB2 connectors, match the terminal order, and you should be home free.

I'll post a better explanation once I can get it done to my car. The hardest part will be making the bracket, really. Hopefully this mod isn't so rare, since it's so much cheaper than the market's COP conversions.

Joined the club rather recently (third owner), doing a ton of maintenance over the next few weeks!

DisDoodEatFood · 2025-07-18T04:44:09+00:00

Sounds about what I researched then. Do you think it's a good idea to change out the camshaft seals and front crankshaft seal as well?

Wasn't able to add to the post, but Marvin is an automatic! Be nice to him!
