"Honey Badger" Miata: Turbo Track Build (new brakes installed)

[CleanNeon98]

And after more searching, I was misinformed. I can fit whatever injectors, so probbably a used cheap flow tested set from an rx-7. As long as they are high impedence and 440cc they will work.

550cc and more boost!

Stock turbo only goes to about 13psi before its out of steam, with the flash I can get to the 220whp range and considering I've only ever had 190whp max before, its gonna feel pretty intense in this tiny car. I'll work my way up from there if I want to, but this will do.

Injector wise I went with the 440cc RX-7 which is supposed to be a plug and play to my car, they are flow tested with all new gaskets and all

Everyone is having good luck with the flash, and based on what I hear if there are spots that need further work, they are sending out updated chips to people at no charge! I'm exciiiiiiiiiited

220 is going to be a rocket.


How's that exhaust sound?

[CleanNeon98]

Dunno im dropping it off to be done tomorrow over the next day or two.

Tune is also bringing redline to.7000, should help.stay in power longer

[CleanNeon98]

lookin good

Also discovered my right rear brake caliper is leaking so I can't even really drive the car after I get it back till I get a new one or a rebuild kit

Some photos









And the exhaust, red bars, and a sticker for no reason (Corksport, not Cocksport)



Went on the S2Ki Berks Mountain run yesterday. 250+ miles of awesome roads and adventures with I think 7 S2000s, an EVO X, and GTR. Haven't gotten the tires so warm in a long time, it was sticking like a dream.

Do you work for Tirerack or are you sponsored by them, because that is a huge windshield banner?

It's not a big banner, it's a small car.

Most others look like this



The other thing is I need them to be high impedence. The best deal I found so far on a set of OEM 1 year old 440cc RX-8 injectors (drop-in for my car) are $250. Also, with them tuning for the bigger injectors, it brings the reflash up to $850. I am getting a free intake made so that cuts some cost out, the same guy who designed the blow-thru is going to make me a conventional kit and do a straight swap.

I can spend 750 on a reflash and make around 200whp
or
I can spend 1100 on fuel and flash and make around 220whp and finally be free of my 265cc, and not have to worry about going lean if it gets cold, etc.

I should be ordering the injectors today!

Bigger dont hurt. I can support 650 in the skyline, plan on 400 with 6 850cc's

I ended up with plug and play rx7 440cc injectors that are cleaned flowtested and new rubbers for under $150. Happy about that.

[CleanNeon98]

Injectors are in. Took an hour and a half the first time. Then I realized i forgot to install the rubber geomet inside of the connector clip (I guess its there for moisture reasons) so had to take it all apart and fix it. Only a half hour the second time haha. ECU is out and going to BEGi tomorrow. Going to install the intake and colder plugs while its gone. Things are moving along.

[CleanNeon98]

The ****show never seems to end. After talking to a friend, he opened my eyes a bit. Turns out the vendor which I won't even name was responsible for a bunch of garbage back in 07/08. People's injectors weren't flowing properly, a few Supra guys lost engines. Anyway, I've arranged with the seller to return them and am looking at other 440/450cc options, either from RC or Denso. Have my eyes on a few, but not having my ECU, work schedule, and the weather, I don't know when all of this swapping will even happen. Hopefully next week I can tie everything back together.

Why not just get them flow tested?

With the ammount of **** I've read, I'd rather just play it safe. I'm getting 440cc RC injectors, the harness adapters, and seals and calling it a day. Gonna be an extra $300 to spend, but these are so important, I'd feel safer with new ones regardless, should have done it the first time. At least I can get my money back for these other ones. Especially considering I don't have a wideband yet to monitor, I'd rather just replace em.

ECU is chipped and coming back to me, as is the new intake. Hoping to install the ECU and Intake next Tuesday, unfortunately I don't think I will have the new injectors by then so I will have to wait till I'm free again to put in the RCs.

Times like these I am glad I have a daily haha

[DPancoast]

While I agree, I must say that you can get injectors flow tested, cleaned, and "rebuilt" with new seals and such for less than that amount you're going to pay extra.

BUT I know what it's like to want to play it safe and spending extra money when people tell me not to so I don't blame you. Good luck sir.

[CleanNeon98]

I ordered em like an hour ago haha. Oh well, just a small bump.in the road.

[CleanNeon98]

MMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm



RC Injectors and all are here, Sunday night she will be on the road better than ever, whatever it takes.

[CleanNeon98]

Only one word can really describe the way this chipped ECU makes my car feel: PERFECT. It finally runs great and smooth

[DPancoast]

Congrats man. We should cruise when I get my turbo back... after I go on vacation lol
