I've got myself a 1993 miata with a 1.8 swap + turbo build. This thing has been fun as hell to build! I got it about 2 years ago off of CL already converted to MS1 with a WRX turbo and no intercooler. Thing burned oil like crazy cause the turbo was on its last legs. Pretty quickly I got a Speeduino thrown in there and I've been making it better ever since!
Quick list of mods:
- Engine rebuild before I bought it with ARP head studs, cometic head gasket, and titanium valve springs
- Short throw shifter from MiataRoadster
- Cobalt Stainless Steel Exhaust with Flyin' Miata catalytic converter
- Flow Force 640cc Injectors
- Supermiata crossflow radiator and coolant re-route kit
- Silicone coolant hose upgrades (Heater core, lower + upper hoses as part of re-route)
- ATI Super damper + 36-2 timing wheel (sensor not installed yet, still using the old CAS + nissan timing disc)
- Garrett GT2560 turbo with custom built manifold & downpipe
- BEGI intercooler piping kit
- Completely overhauled the interior: New carpets, leather wrapped the dash, gauges, Sparco seats, etc
Enter rusEFI! I'm particularly interested in getting MAF support working with this build. Enough that I actually set up my piping with a MAF in mind, including a bypass valve and routing the valve cover vent line to the intake tube before the turbo. Part of this started when I read (this thread), and the thought of it has just stuck since. It would also be neat to mess with some of the code to see if one could get a blending of the two systems; though thats mostly just the programmer in me getting all excited...
I'm planning to purchase a board from @beermoneymotorsports (great job by the way, these ECU's look awesome!), but I really wish the gerbers were available for the community to make it a completely open source package... I'm half tempted to try my hand at making one using the Hellen scripts and then posting the KiCAD files. Maybe a future project?
Anyway, happy to be here and let me know your thoughts on the MAF stuff above! Am I crazy, or is this something actually worth trying to make work for my setup?
