Well, i did it. Went FI this weekend. Got a used kit from 1bdwgn. came with the flying miata manifold, ihi turbo, guages, mpi tuner, 2 extra injectors, all pipes, fitting and clamps, fmic. ill i had to buy was a oilpan for the return, and a little bit hose and about 20 bux in fittings. took all day friday before the car ran. had no leaks or problems, fired right up. only had 3 slowdowns the whole day. my old ractive header was a pain to get off. they had chrome plated the egr bung on it and i never sanded it off, so it bonded to the egr nut on the egr tube. that took a few hours to get off and then get a new tube on. then i had to get the fitting for the oil tee in the back of the motor re machined. last we had to trim the bumper a lil to get the intercooler right.

as of now im at 5psi untill i can get into the mpi and get it right for 8psi or so. but the car runs so so smooth and fast even at 5psi. i havent gone over 4krpm yet or more the 3/4 gas.

here are some pics pf the finished product.

Comments?

Congrats!!!! Hope you like it. I noticed you are running the wrong clamps on your fuel line. You should ONLY use fuel injection clamps, not standard clamps. The standard ones don't clamp as well as the ones designed for fuel injected fuel systems.

Look in the FI area under the "help with MPI", I posted my map that is with xtra injectors and 8psi. That would be a good start for you, as long as you have a turbo module with the MPI.
 
nice man...good luck with all that. welcome to the FI club. (even if yours will probably run better than mine does)
 
damn ... very nice ... i cant wait to drop my car off tomorrow at the shop to get boosted .... i can imagine how excited and happy u r right now. looks real good though
 
congrats, looks real nice. good luck. Mine is currently at Modern getting the MPI installed. Really interested in seeing how it runs with it
