Zander, I have a few bits I would like to donate to your race car:
Early plastic FM BOV/diverter valve, never used. Some intercooler piping. Some used but still usable silicone hose. The cast piece of intercooler plumbing that attaches to the throttle body. Used, but good pair of motor mounts. Probably other stuff accumulated in 16 years of loving Miatas. Let me know what you need. Send me a shipping address and I will get it on the way.

The Dead Smurf That possible turbo Miata in the last message? I'm sure by now you've heard of Jay Lamm (of "Stinky" fame) and his current lunacy, the 24 Hours of LeMons. If you haven't: http://24hoursoflemons.com/ Well, my boss and I have acquired a sub-$500 miata, and have nearly sold enough bits off of it to pay for the $500 Greddy bits we bought off Craigslist. We appear to have an Greddy manifold and a good TD04H, along with a Vortech FMU (this is just an AFPR, no?) and the oil lines for the turbo. So, we need intake plumbing and a BOV, right? What else do we need to scrounge to get this working...and how much of it is laying around in your garages waiting to be sold cheap (*very* cheap) to the official racing team of Miatapower.Net? What's a reasonable target for a stock ECU with the AFPR? 6psi? Less? Also, the thing basically can't idle when it's cold. It will start up with a little coaxing, but then the idle speed just slowly drops off to zero. Runs great once it's warmed up. I haven't spent much time on it beyond replacing the temp. sender (at Rick Weldon's suggestion), which helped, but didn't solve the problem. IAC is next to look at... any other ideas?

We are more than happy to plaster your logo all over the car, or deny that we know you, as appropriate. -Zandr _______________________________________________ Miatapower mailing list [email protected] http://list.miatapower.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/miatapower _______________________________________________ Miatapower mailing list [email protected] http://list.miatapower.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/miatapower
