Hi all, this is my first post so hope I’m not asking too much. I’ve recently fitted a TD04 turbo kit for Bofi Racing to my 1997 Mk1 MX5, run alongside an ME221 ecu. The conversion itself was over and done with in good time, but I’ve been trying to iron out electrical/fuelling issues the past...

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...

For sale is a used Mini supercharger kit for 1.8 MK1 ( I have a bracket for 1.6 as well if required). Please do your research if you are looking to install this kit on a 1.6 or even MK2s. I'm looking for 1.100GBP o.n.o (shipping included). I bought this kit here as we (my mates and I)...

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...

Hi all, Have always enjoyed driving and looking at car but relatively new to working on them. So of course the best thing to start off with is strapping a turbo to my car using relatively cheap eBay and Alibaba parts. The car at the moment is a black 1996 with a 199(3) I think high...

Hi All, wondering if anyone can help, I need to follow the instructions on ME's guide to 'Run a wire from the FP pin in the diagnostic port under the bonnet to pin 2T of the ECU' but i am unsure to which Pin is pin 2T. I have looked at the documentation and at the pinout diagram and wiring...

Hi, I am having an issue getting my fuel pump to start during cranking and there onwards, and narrowed it down to likely being the switch in the AFM circuit. I am turboing so the original AFM or MAF has been removed and in place an IAT as part of a kit from black cat with the plug to connect it...

Hi all, looking to start turboing my mk2.5 2002 1.6 i've done a fair bit of research so far but i feel like i need parts and jump in to it all and was wondering in if this https://kraken-mx5.eu/product/kraken-3-exhaust-with-january-delivery-deposit-available/ is worth it? I was gonna wait a...

So I thought I'd start a Project thread before I started tearing the car apart again for the next project. Back in February, I bought this Golden Nugget MX5 and had started buying turbo parts before I'd even bought the car because going from a 300HP WRX to a 140hp MX5 just wasn't going to cut...

So, the car is going up to Mtech soon to get a turbo conversion on my `91 NA (yay) - and I`m curious what the general wisdom is around engine mounts. I may well see some issues giving it the full beans (at 200 WHP) and the torque moving the engine and transmission sufficiently that i miss 3rd...

Sold

Time to sell my Mx5 Mk2 RS turbo I've loved owning this car, its brilliant fun and pretty quick too. I used it on some sprint events last year where it rocked, and bought home silverware every time in the 2300cc and over class, various videos available, I'll link below. Mohair soft top is in...

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...

From Friday I will be the proud owner of a 2016 MX-5 2L manual with just 20K on the clock. I am excited! This followed 6 months of watching YouTube, reading reviews, test driving a Stage 1 BBR RF (I am too tall). I intend to use her as a daily driver (London based :-( ) with regular trips to...

Hello, Everyone. Thought I'd do a build thread of my new project after my last one was wrote off as it used to get a lot of attention on the nutz facebook page. I'm sure a lot of you will recognise my old car, and hopefully, my new one will be much better ;) To start things off, I got my...
