1.6l JDM Would have left the factory with 113bhp on low octain fuel Cheapest mod is to raise CR to 10:1 to make use of uk normal unleaded fuel. Probably only worth a couple of HP but make it sharper and more responsive. Beter exhaust manifold and a K&N filter so long as you keep it away from exhaust heat - not easy in the normal mx-5 as the underbonnet temps can get pretty high:0 Cheers BV ![]() |

![]() Ok guys thanks for the advice.
As you guys suggested i think i will wait until the car is built before trying to tune the engine.

![]() strip back all the unwanted engine manigment suff and fit megasquirt (set up right) would be the best bang for your buck.
and could be tuned to any future tweaks. simply nothing beats the right mixture and timing every time that is the beauty of eletronics. |

To be honest I wouldn't waste time on Megasquirt. I've used it in the past, ended up costing almost as much as an omex system. ![]() Car spent too much time with me trying to fix msqt faults and after two expensive recovery trips ![]() The omex does what it says on the tin with no hassle. Not a single breakdown from the time it was fitted to the time I sold the car. BV ![]() |

Probably a silly question but why should one of these be used, what are the real benefits over the stock fuel management system (am i right in saying these are just standalone fuel management systems?) Are there additional features, easier for the home mechaninc to tune/modify the engine etc. Just trying to get a better idea of these systems. Will try to do some research on these during the week, but would appreciate if someone could give me a starter lesson ![]() When you buy one, does it come pre-loaded with base maps or does this all need set-up by an engine tuner first. Im sure all will become clear
