And they share no parts with the 5 speeds from what I have heard.

sixshooter, thanks for the info

RX-8’s are cheap in Europe. They go for around 2K$ so there’s good change to find them in salvage yards. I have to keep my eyes open.

Hi mate, did you fix your oil starvation issue under heavy braking?

My engine has one of these in the sump and I haven't experienced the same issue:
Maruha oil pan /baffle

That guy Saji really seems to know his stuff!

Cheers

New EV14 1300cc/min injectors arrive today :party:

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1396037265

Decide not to invest 900$ for ID1300 and instead go for EV14 from Finjector. I paid $500 for a set. Not bad

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1396037265

Next in to-do list is to fabricate thermostat housing for re-route spacer and installing FM2 lvl2 happy meal

FM 10.3lb flywheel is in

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1396446095

...and the lvl2 clutch. I know this is going to protect my gearbox better as I had same sprung clutch disk with my previous lvl1 clutch setup

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1396446095

Apparently my EV14 injectors are with JETRONIC plugs and not the USCAR ones that I thought. Now I have wrong adaptors goddammit

so will you be detuning to a level the clutch will hold? pretty sure it won't last long with your current power level

Well, Harald (hf-mx5t) has run his FM lvl2 with 400whp few years before it began to slip :rolleyes: And by look of his FB page he now has new FM lvl2 clutch and more than 400whp
