@michaelm3381 Heck yeah! They're awesome cars and look amazing.

Me too 😂 Thank you!

@@denniskulcsar9778 I checked them after a few events and had 2 that were a quarter turn or so loose. Nothing major like falling out or anything. In the future, I plan to put some metal locking nuts on there for the extra security.

@@TreadShredders I’ve been eyeing this kit since I saw the v2 manifold. Thank you for these videos!

@@denniskulcsar9778 No problem! Hope you enjoy it!

@syruss9748 I would think it would, if it's a 1.6 NB. I cannot confirm though

@@TreadShredders thanks mate✌️

​@@TreadShredderson cx racing it's a different kit because the exhaust manifold are different between the 1.6 and 1.8

@@chiccoka The what?

@@TreadShredders sway bar

@chiccoka Yes, I have no front sway bar. It's a drift car and for me, I've definitely found it to help it slinging it.

@@TreadShredders I’m building my first Drift car based on mx5 as well . I have no clue how it handles without sway bar but may be I will give it a go somewhere without other cars

@@chiccoka Definitely give it a go. Some people make up for no sway bar by changing up their coilover rebound and/or spring rate. Hope this helps! Good luck out there

Your welcome!!

That's about what I'm at too, but I'm 6speed with a 4.1 rear. I'm planning to do a Gtx2867r as my next turbo. Hoping for better spools with it and a 3.63 rear end.

@@TreadShredders i'm 5 speed with whatever the 1.6 lsd is but I appreciate the response! I am also thinking of going with a FM manifold and 2860r

@@lumination8534 That's a better option honestly. This setup works, but for longevity, I'd go with that.

Just make sure the ECU is registering exactly what you have setup already. If you're 10 degrees advanced, set the timing in the ECU to 10 degrees and check it with a timing light to verify it. If you don't, everything on your timing table will be 10 degrees advanced

Yeah, it definitely has boost creep. It will maintain somewhat constant 8psi from like 4000RPM up. It's been a while since I've ran it at 8. It gets to 17psi now at like 4500RPM

YEAH!

DIYPNP and FIC 1000cc Injectors

I believe it's the newest one. I'm on MS2 on a DIYPNP. What options are you looking at that you're missing?

@@TreadShredders thanks for the quick reply, i think it is because I have the speedyefi, on the menu options (big buttons) you have ignition settings, I only have spark. then my menu options are different inside.

@john-paulmifsud5724 yeah, no problem. That's probably what it is, there might be a few more options with this ECU. Sorry 😞

@@TreadShredders no, thank you. It's a great video and still helps me out.

I used the oil feed line that came with the kit and a fitting off ebay to go into the block to fit the line at the oil supply.

Thank you for the quick response. I’m wondering what size bolts i need to screw the lines into the turbo. You mentioned the kit did not come with the hardware needed to do this and I came across the same problem and I don’t know how to figure out what size the holes are.

@@bradleyratliff6881 Gotcha. Yeah, it's been a while since I installed this. I remember having to match the bolts at lowes to get this in. I do not recall the exact bolt size. I apologize

ok, thank you

I already put everything in besides those fittings. I emailed cx racing to see but i doubt they will respond. looks like i’m taking everything off again 😬

Sorry for the late reply. The manifold has cracked twice, downpipe exploded in like 2k miles right at a weld, and turbo wastegate door exited the chat. But to be fair, im always banging limiter while drifting, 2stepping at events with a hood dump, among other stupid stuff. So i push it to the limits, literally. Plus ive been running 20psi through it for the last few months. Still running strong 💪 Going to the dyno today to get someone to properly tune it and see what the new forged motor is going to make.

@@TreadShredders I ended up going with kraken’s full 2554r top mount kit, still bolting together but thanks for the feedback! Feel better about my purchase haha

DIYPNP MS2 (Megasquirt)

Hey man! I was admiring the purple haha. All of us were surprised you were sliding that nice car. Yeah man, check out the other video. It's got quite a few tips and tricks on this kit

Thank you!

Thank you!

Yes, not the manifold tho, the downpipe was hitting the steering shaft. I just rotated it slightly out of the way. No it's barely off the subframe and the engine. The downpipe is ass honestly. Needs redesigned.

Gotcha. I noticed I didn’t have to grind any material away for the downpipe to fit on mine. I might have put the manifold on slightly off and it’s causing those issues

@@AlkovickAirsoft No? You're the first person I've heard that didn't have to. I had to take a good 1 inch of material out for mine to fit. I beat the downpipe where it hit the steering shaft until it fit and didn't hit.

Thank you!

I can't remember the website, but there is one that you can get base maps for startup. I don't have a stock tune unfortunately 😔

Thanks fam. You see me at Street Car yesterday?

@@TreadShredders I wish I was close enough to be involved...well actually it might be expensive. I’m in New Bern NC. I just recognized the drive. I picked up a fairly minty 1990 1.6, though yours is sweet and I’d definitely trade my white on black for your black on tan. Currently trying not to order the $5k in parts I have in my cart🤣 My 16 and 17 year old children aren’t helping my dilemma and neither is KZbin😎

I bought some 4mm line on Amazon 😁

To be honest, I don't know. I used a step bit from harbor freight and got it the exact same size and just tightened it in with some pliers. 4k miles later, no issues still. Hope this helps!

3/8 npt

Thank you!!

It was. The OG belt was stretched. Thru a new one on and it wasn't even close.

Check out "CashedOutCars" video for an in depth video on how to clock. Mine came out of the box perfect 🤷‍♂️ I bolted it on and everything was where I wanted it. Didn't need to clock it.

Same here. They don't give you instructions, just a bunch of pictures of a hacked up miata. Hopefully this helps someone out in the future so they aren't scratching their heads like we were.

the intercooler mounting bracket mounts the top of the intercooler to the hole where a bumper support bolt went.

Thanks! Check the other comments for what I did miss that someone mentioned. I had to shave the bay down to fit the downpipe, but it's a vband connection. I did have a weld on the downpipe blowout some how. I got it fixed myself with my own welder. Currently have about 2k miles on the kit with about 500 miles on it just being drift events and beating on it. So far, so good. I'm really happy with it.

I didn't reroute the cables. The vacuum lines from the wastegate to the turbo. From the intake manifold to the BOV

@@TreadShredders what about the cable for the gauge and the vacuum for the ecu

Vacuum for the ECU is routed thru the grommet hole on the left side of the engine bay firewall. There's a plug there. I removed it, fished a thick wire down behind the glove box area, and taped onto it and pulled. Took like 30 minutes just to get that line thru. A real pain. The boost, AFR, and IAT wires are routed thru the hole for the cruise control. If you don't have cruise control, there's a plug there.

@@TreadShredders found it thank you!

Thank you! I was scratching my head on this "bolt on" kit at some points. Just hope this gives some pointers to the fellow head scratchers out there.

@@TreadShredders most definitely, this is the kit I plan on running and this definitely helped with some future head scratching. Now one thing I can’t figure out, is that turbo water cooled as well? Couldn’t see any coolant lines
