I just don't know if I want to mess around with an M45 setup. I'm sure it'd be fine for a daily driver, but you're pretty well limited unless you yank the whole thing and start over.

The most you can get outta that thing is ~200whp

Have a friend who has one. It is damn fun.

On the plus side, the M45's seem to sell pretty well still...could drive it for a while as is, add an MS/DIY, and then make the switch to a Rotrex whenever the supply issues get sorted out.

Two.

What about a spade connector?

Oscar 06-28-2011 03:11 PM

The nearest spade should be on the oilpressure sender.

Yes, one of them is a spade connector. That's the "start now, please" signal from the keyswitch via the clutch interlock switch.


edit: the later cars may have two seperate heavy cables (from battery, to main fuse) in addition to the smaller "start now, please" wire, for a total of three. The diagram is slightly ambiguous on where precisely this common connection is made. (On the older cars, there are two separate runs from the battery, so the starter only has one heavy cable.)

I just wanted to corroborate what Lars told me earlier. I think I may be able to start my car tonight yay :x:

here's your sign


amount invested so far in the conversion is $38,000. asking price, make a reasonable offer, partial trades considered, must sell. serious inquiries only.

mgeoffriau 06-28-2011 05:57 PM

What part of "no price listed" is unclear? Unless you can tell exactly what he considers a "reasonable offer."

buffon01 06-28-2011 06:12 PM

I assumed that your "no price listed" was in relation to not having an idea of what the seller is looking for, which by the looks of it is a high fucking price. So yeah...

Bond 06-28-2011 06:41 PM

10k tops for the ls2 miata.

buffon01 06-28-2011 06:49 PM

Lol, go ahead and offer that...

Anyone ever drilled/tapped their thermostat housing for a water temp sensor?

not on a miata, but a mustang... its easy, but you have to make sure its the engine side of the thermostat

kotomile 06-28-2011 08:56 PM

So, like, on the spacer?

The reason for this is very simple. When its closed it can give an accurate temp reading
