detailed list of the problem w/ my car: http://forum.miata.net/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=030853 -justin

my gun is the cheap one, no knob on the back :p. But I think its set correct.. Ill wait till the techron eats the crap in the injectors and see how it runs. -justin

well its running better than before but it is still hesistating a little bit. Do these car hesitate when they are advanced too far or have too much retard on the timing? -justin

the firing order isnt what the enthuiast manual says... thats all I know. And I had to plug up a vaccume leak coming off the intake manifold where the PRC valve is. Now I set the timing advance and the idle... waited till the car cooled off and noticed there is a pretty large coolant leak...

well for some reason the firing order was WAY OFF..the 1.8s are different from the 1.6s I guess. I went by what the Enthuiasts manual said for the 1.8. So after Wayne's brother helped me with that one, it is running smooth but idling at around 1,500 rpms. I need to set the idle and then check...

I got the engine running :) but its VERY rough...gotta set the idle tomorrow along w/ the timing...will post back tomorrow :). -justin

I think we figured it out... but now I am left with trying to decide if I should use my 1.6 fuel rail harness on my 1.8 fuel rail b/c stuff just isnt plugging up at all... I like how they mention this in the "performance projects" book I have... maybe this is because my engine is a 97, but I...

well the hose at the front top of the cooler ran to something at the front of the engine bay. I just dont know if its a feed line or a return line. -justin

Well I have the flyin miata kit for the 1.8 -> 1.6 conversion...so everything is going smooth (but its a STEEP learning curve for me). I just dont know where to tap the oil cooler line that is coming out of the front of the cooler... Does coolant run through it or does oil? Can I just tap...

i need to know where the hoses go LOL... we cut all of mine and well, i hope everything finds a way back to the heater core/radiator like before :-/. We ripped stuff off and cut hoses like crazy trying to get the 1.6L out... LOL, we should have taken pictures first of how its supposed to look w/...

Anyone here have experience w/ swapping a 1.8L into a older Miata that came w/ the 1.6L? -justin

fun fun :p. I actually went to town center w/ one of my friends and this girl she works with...but I went home after b/c I was so tired. Plus I am ascared of Barrett lol. I meant to ask if you were coming to the autocross on march 13th? Patrick is giving me the hookup on his wifes tires for my...

dunno about that turn but I took the hwy 5 ramp to 75S at 70mph when I had the subaru riding on crappy kuhmo 712s, and this was behind someone in an audi a4 (a chick). -justin

cool :D, looks like Ill be getting new magnets for the car so that the tech guy can stop yelling at me for them not being 8" tall. I swear, every event I ran last year he had something to say, but he was like that to everyone. Yea it blows goats, but what can you do? We are actually still...
