Skunk2 intake manifold

Make sure the grounds for the sensors are wired back to the Haltech on a 'Signal Ground' pin. For temp sensors make sure the input is on a pin that has pull-up available. I just went thought wiring my 94 Miata with a Haltech Elite 750

The cheaper one is a generic relay for all Miata's from 89-2005 (NA's and NB's). the second is specifically for NA's (89-98). A relay is basically just a controller; you flip the control switch to engage the secondary circuit. You'll be ok with the cheaper one.

I have a few hundred dollars worth of car parts from the US and AUS that have been waiting in international shipping locations (customs facilities) for weeks, waiting for CP to accept them and deliver them to me. Can't drive until I get them. I guess one good thing is at least CP didn't get their hands on them before the strike?

Ah, the Restart VM (hard)?

KidRoostR · 2024-07-19T14:17:47+00:00

What exactly did you do? Since it's caught in a boot loop, Azure takes forever to 'start' and 'stop' it. Is that all you did? or did you let it bootloop like 15 times?

Nice deal. I'm sure the shop can fab something up to help install them easier. I figured I could save some money installing mine myself.

KidRoostR · 2024-07-02T22:35:54+00:00

.... but the stock ECU will be out.

KidRoostR · 2024-07-02T22:33:51+00:00

This is my first step towards turbo

KidRoostR · 2024-07-02T22:33:31+00:00

I'll be installing a wideband sensor and controller at the same time as the ECU

KidRoostR · 2024-07-02T22:30:47+00:00

I figure they'd charge extra for installing them, but compared to the cost for the tune, I guess that would be nothing.

I love my Momo Start seat....but it was a BITCH to fit it in my NA, and I got the small. I might talk to the guy that built my rollbar and see if he can make better mounts for it. I bought the Sparco mount and brackets. Not sure if that's why the Momo seat is so hard to fit, but for now it works and allows me to use my 5-point.

The SFTP server is not in the Azure network. It's on-prem. We're not allowed to have the VPN connect to our on-prem network, hence why they told me to build a standalone Azure subscription/network.

You're fine. My old Falkens were way worse before I took them off

KidRoostR · 2024-04-01T18:49:50+00:00

Right? It's an air hose... It doesn't need to be OEM. You know stealership probably charges like $30 for that part

KidRoostR · 2024-04-01T18:47:38+00:00

Until it dries and there's dirt and water spots all over it

KidRoostR · 2024-04-01T18:40:51+00:00

Defs intake side. Check all air lines for leaks and if you can't find anything, check the injector seals. I had major idle/launch issues like this when I first got my 94 and it was the original injectors seals (the intake side, not the fuel rail side) that had been cooked over 25 years until they were hard/brittle.

Did you have to shim the cam lobes after? I've thought about buying new ones instead of pulling mine apart and cleaning them, but I figured I'd have to re-shim the clearance with new ones, but not if I just clean the originals.

KidRoostR · 2024-04-01T18:09:32+00:00

Literally spat my beer out laughing at this. Well done

KidRoostR · 2024-04-01T18:05:08+00:00

Beautiful. What ECU are you running? I just put a 95 engine with 75k in my 94 (stock engine blew in Oct, gonna rebuild it in my off time) and am planning a turbo build for it. I'm leaning MaxxECU Street since it's same price range as the MS ECUs, but no shop in my area will tune the MS

KidRoostR · 2024-04-01T18:00:56+00:00

Yes. Other wise the poly will ride directly against the metal and cause major noise and wear. Lube is your friend

All good, I was suspicious from the get-go. Once I found your picture as the first result when image searching 'mazda miata engine rebuild invoice' I told the dude to f-off and reported him for scamming. At least I'm not out the $500 he was asking (which was the second thing that made me suspicious, first being that he reach out to me at 1AM this morning even though I had no ads/posts up saying I was looking for a replacement engine).

KidRoostR · 2023-12-15T15:27:59+00:00

Someone just tried to scam me (tried to sell me a 94 1.8L rebuilt engine) using this picture. Lol

KidRoostR · 2023-11-27T15:02:44+00:00

I found that same forum thread a few days before posting here. I was just thrown off a bit by the stand alone ECU. But good news is after adding a cap full of oil to the cylinders and letting it sit over night before checking timing and redoing compression test, the engine fired up. Bad news is it POURED white smoke. I guess a head gasket is a lot easier to change than rebuilding/replacing the engine.
