Yep, I would love to be able to help in any way I can, we may need to have an EFI tuning chatbox session with GunMetalGrey and anyone else who wants to chime in. If Muffins pops in and starts talking carbs then I dont know what we will do.
I squirted my Miata with MS3x, love it.

Ignore my previous post. my mind is cluttered..... Building two totally different EFI systems is rough..
Made that, start of a dyno.
Got the MS board 90 percent finished, will start on the harness tomorrow!

^that dyno is pretty cool

Thanks! Have to give credit to one of my friends, you may know him. He was with me at the last meet I was at, he really knows how to run all of our metalworking equipment!
We are working on that yet, may just end up with a DC motor for load, or an exercise bike flywheel.

Bolted some things onto my motor!Ā
Warmer weather is making me excited!!!

Well, as it turns out DIYautotune sent wrong parts in the kit, sucks because it was due to their supplier.
Long story short it gives me a constant low voltage error, so now I need to get the right components from them and take it apart again! Yay!

So, I don't update this thread often enough.
I got my oil pan, and got the 12an return welded to it. Local shop did it all for 30 bucks!
So I worked on some body work in the meantime, having ordered almost everything I need to drop the engine in.
remember those pieces I was working on? Well they got trimmed up and I worked on welding one it today
added a bit of JB weld to the side that is normally spot welded to hold it in place for easy welding. Starting tacking it on, now mind you I am using a 90 dollar harbor freight special flux core welder.
Got a bit hot in a few areas and went through, not a biggie, turn down the wire speed a bit and carry on.
Got the wholes patched up and lots of tacks in (especially for a non structural piece)
Then grabbed the die grinder and started working the welds down a bit
Looks so gross this whole time, but then you take some sandpaper....
And make it look decent! Needs more sanding to rough it up again, and to feather out the surrounding paint and then start taking the body putty too it. Pretty happy with how it is turning out (especially for one of the first times doing this)
Tomorrows challenge is staring at me... and this one will be very visible from the outside of the car.
