Hi, I've nearly finished my TD04 build and am going to have it tuned to around 170 bhp. At the moment there's a 1.6 clutch and flywheel in it (and 6" diff). Has anyone had success with using a stock 1.8 clutch and flywheel at this sort of power? I think I'll just wait for my clutch to...

Hi, I've joined the mx5 club recently and have been loving the car. However engine hesitation/jerking has been taking away from som of the magic. Car has no mods except an idiot between the steering wheel and seat :) I want to get all the gremlins out the way before i start deviating from...

Reinstalled the tdo4 that was on before with all same components that ran fine when I got the car. But now my vac line is melting on the wastegate actuator and failing whenever the engine has been under load for about 10 minutes Any ideas as to what may be causing this as the actuator is not...

Hey Guys, I'm starting the planning with replacing all the hoses on my little 1999 1.6. I have 1.6 NB parts manuals in front of me, but I've just now realised the 1.6 doesn't have an oil cooler on the oil filter. I haven't had a chance to go look, but now i have no idea where the hose from the...

Hi there, first ever forum post. I have a 2002 MX-5 mk2.5 and I plan on doing a de-cat. The de-cat I plan on purchasing is the 'gravity performance silenced decat' but it is listed as being for a 1.8. What I'm asking is, can this 1.8 pipe fit where my 1.6 downpipe is? I have the stock 1.6...

Hi guys, I've recently purchased a Speeduino Core 4 PnP ECU for my low budget 1.6 turbo (daily). I installed the ECU, IAT and VTPS, Calibrated all the sensors and it fired right up with the mx5 base map that came on it. now obviously I cannot use that map with boost (but that's a whole other...

Hi Guys, Hope you can help me with this topic.... I live in Austria and I got a 2003 Mk 2.5 1.6 liter. I ordered from the UK 2 Leather Seats which just arrived. As far as I saw there is not much to do just "plug & play". But what I realized, what happens to the seat belt warning sound? Is this...

My 1.6 turbo at a very wet Curborough! This was with a relatively aggressive alignment (similar to 949racing dual duty), Yoko AD08R tyres on front, Yoko Parada's on the rear. I did loosen my rear anti-roll bar by one setting but the car still isn't really stiff enough on the front for this...

I have recently got hold of a 1.6 mx5 from 1990 and i'm looking into increasing the power soon. As far as i'm aware the turbo will give higher overall power, but a supercharger will provide much more consistent power at low revs. From what i have seen, many people prefer the turbo option and...

Hi, so i'm in the process of rebuilding my engine, its an early 4 slot 1.6 the short nose crank with the LWSC, so i need a new oil pump, and the only ones i can find are either out of stock, or $400+ from USA (inc postage)... so anybody any clues where to source one ? Thanks for any reply

Back in 2007 I bought a NC 1.8 Icon in Storm Blue. By 2008 I traded that in for a Galaxy Grey 2.0 Sport as I intended to Supercharge it so wanted to start with the top of the range model. Long story short I had it Cosworth Supercharged but after a log and painful story I sold it. I am sure a...

Folks, I'm putting up for sale my RSR*R 4-1 Manifold for MK1 NA6CE - 1.6 litres ! This is a lovely JDM manifold and gives great performance at the top end. It's wrapped with a DEI (design engineering) fibreglass wrap and sealed with their high temp silicone spray. The flexi section is in...

TL;DR version: Has anyone repaired or replaced their oil pressure relief valve? Can the work be done with the sump pan taken off and the oil pump (and whole engine) still in place?? The Long Version: I have an early 1.6 (SNC) engine and 'real' oil pressure guage, and it currently shows...

Hi I have read as much as I can find on this topic, but can't find the answer I need. I think I have read that for the MS2 enhanced I can use a std mx5 knock sensor. But... I have a 1.6, and I have also read that there is not a suitable place to put it on that engine. Can anybody tell me if...

Hi Folks, Just a message to say hello and introduce myself, I'm Ross from sunny Glasgow. I bought my 1990 NA 1.6 Short Nose Eunos in October 2017 to strip it out completely to turn it into a track toy. So far I have entirely stripped out the interior excluding the upper dash and centre...

Just bought a second hand TD04 (49377-04100), and what I think is the water pipes are full of gunk. Im writing this thread to ask if this turbo is worth a rebuild or not?
