It's an MSlabs MS3. Plug and play and should have all the capabilities I need. Along with accommodating turbos if I ever get the itch. I have a lot of learning to do with it though, hopefully I get it down pat over the winter.

I don't have any experience with the MS3, but feel free to ping me if you have any questions about how you can dial in certain things.

Once I go ITB i have to go alpha tuning. Tuning off the throttle position. Im sure that will take a while.

Megasquirt has an ITB mode that blends alpha-n & speed density. I've played with it only to learn it when I got around to doing ITBs, it seems pretty easy to tune. The default mode blending and whatnot seemed to work half-decently. Definitely time consuming though...

E30s face the same same ITB tuning problems- I didn't want to go with MS with the M20 to run ITBs which is why I went 24V (you can run airbox and tune w/MAF). |

I know ITBs are a pain, I wouldn't be surprised if I end up using a manifold for a while.

I pulled the intake manifold of the VVT engine this weekend. I'm a little nervous about all the blackness in there. I realize It most likely means a PCV issue. I'm nervous there is a bad valve seal or something. I will probably pull the head and get it checked out. Maybe a valve job is in the future. I was debating just throwing the motor in the car and seeing what I got. I still might do that but seems more risk now.

I have not been making any kind of progress for a couple months now. Hunting season dictates that I spend my time in the woods this time of year. After some success hunting my season is essentially over so its back to car stuff.
I have been spending money though, stock pilling parts for when I get back at it. I did manage to get the car running on the megasquirt last weekend. At least I know it works now and can count on it for the engine swap. I am now prioritizing inspecting the VVT engine I have to get it ready for the swap. I have also located a complete ABS system I hope to get this weekend and swap while the engine is out. I have a few other things happening with the car atm but will let the for some suspense!

here is the list: ABS computer ABS Controller (the block where all the lines go) All spindles Wheel speed sensors + all associated wiring Wiring harness Axel shafts (To bad I knocked the rings off when I bough them) All these things are not difficult just a bunch of tasks to complete. The big question is does it bolt into a non abs car in a CSP legal way. On an NB the swap is even easier, the controller and computer are one unit. I would use that but it doesnt bolt up in a legal way.

Photo dump time.
Yesterday I received next year wheels. 949 racing 6uls in 15x12! At this point I believe I am one of the few people in the world that possess these things. As you can see they are wide a Sh!t. Im excited. The carparison picture is them next to 275/35-15 hoosiers on 15x10s. Invigerated by the new wheels I started tearing down the VVT engine. Everything under the valve cover looked okay but needs a more detailed inspection.

I pulled the head off of the VVT engine this weekeend. Some carbon build-up but overall looks okay. Cylinder 3 did look wet, Im not sure if it just sat with the valves open or has a valve seal leak. Either way I plan to rebuild the head, springs, valve seals, if I feel ambitious I'll lap the valves.
If anybody has a good method to clean carbon build-up feel free to clue me in. I also bought this. Another wrecked miata (that makes 5 miatas Ive owned this year ), this one is a 93 automatic with ABS. I plan to swap ABS to the race car which is no small task. Neither is finding a NA ABS car as they are sorta rare.

I made sure I snatched up the ABS car quickly even though it means I need to go through another partout which has become annoying.

Ive been busy parting the ABS car out. Looks like I will get all the parts I want for nothing, plus make a little cash.
Unconventional engine pulling. Hopefully, next week I can finish up the ABS car and get back to building the race car.
