Miata Legacy Build
#141
At some point over the winter I must have pulled the wires out of my IAT sensor and need to re wire it. In efforts to make it as clean as possible should I wire it directly to the megasquirt and bypass all oem wiring and use a deutsch connector, or Just push into the afm plug like before?

Quick update. Just got the brakes broke in on a quick test around town and it stops insanely well with the sport rears and v8r fronts. Pedal is firm with the wilwood master. And the best part.
Leafy talked me into a volvo 850 fan and I wired it to a derale pwm controller and it is awesome. Comes on nice a slow so no idle fluctuations and right now didn't get above 190f bUT thats on the road with 50f ambient so we will see how it does on the track but still a massive improvent over factory

Also I didn't use the probe just the sensor there should be posts earlier in the thread. I'll post more pics of all my wiring too when I get off work.

Has anyone had an issue with pad knock after switching to the wilwood BBK? Its most noticeable when parking when you go forward and backwards while braking a few times. Control arm bushings seem good but it is in the realm of possibility that they are moving.
Also unrelated but developed a nice oil leak on the front of the 1.6 motor yesterday. Looks to be leaking around the oil pump area but have yet to investigate since i got home so late last night.

Quick update:
Got the last of my parts/assembly lubes and stuff on order to assemble the block so that should happen soon. Starting to acquire all the parts to build the head early this winter. Hellafab is still working on the manifold I think there is still one person in line in front of me on that one. In the mean time starting to focus on supporting mods in the fuel system and new cooling bits.
Found this fuel pump so i think ill give it a try.

Mostly together. Need to order some oem seals for the oil pimp pickup and a few other misc parts but other than that it's all together and I can seal the pan up when those parts arrive. Super stoked on the balancing. I has the crank and rods balanced to 1/10 gram then the pistons and rings came out to within .06 gram. I can live with that.
