(First posted on MX5 nutz forum in May 2016) Not got too much further cos I’ve been busy with the other cars and other stuff but I have some updates. Once I’d proved the substitute IAT sensor was going to do the job I thought I’d go ahead and do the MAF to MAP conversion […]

MX5 – Dual Throttle Position Sensor
(First posted on MX5 nutz forum in May 2016) I will only need it if/when I get as far as running injectors directly from the DET3 but I thought I’d see what I could do about providing a proper variable TPS for the DET3 while keeping the OEM 3 state TPS for the OEM ECU. […]
MX5 – DET3 Intake Air Temperature Sensor
(First posted on MX5 nutz forum in May 2016) Made some progress with the DET3. It’s been a bit slow as I’m just taking one step at a time and trying to always give myself a working state to fall back on if things don’t go well with each progression. When I eventually remove the […]
MX5 – ECUMaster DET3 Wiring
(First posted on MX5 nutz forum in April 2016) Having received my ECU Master DET3 I then had to figure out how to wire the thing in. Like I said I couldn’t find any mx5 specific info for wiring a DET3 but there are example wiring diagrams in the DET3 manuals and obviously there’s plenty […]
MX5 – ECU Master DET3
(First posted on MX5 nutz forum in April 2016) With boost peaking at around 10psi my hope that 1.8 injectors and nearly 6bar fuel pressure with the standard ECU would provide enough fuel didn’t work out. It was close to being ok as it drove fairly well but at WOT/full boost it would really lean […]
MX5 – Moving the Radiator Fan and Preventing Airflow Over the Radiator
(First posted on MX5 nutz forum in February 2016) Just a few pics of sorting out the rad fan and cowl to keep airflow through the rad in its new position. It was a choice between trimming the fan cowl and moving the power steering pipes out the way to use the original mounting points […]
MX5 – 1.8 injectors and Twin Throttle Body Balancing
(First posted on MX5 nutz forum in February 2016) Almost forgot. I fitted some 1.8 injectors. I actually fitted these a while ago and used the car naturally aspirated for a couple of weeks so I could be sure they were working fine with no missfires and that the ecu was able to compensate and […]
MX5 – Supercharger Fitting Finished
(First posted on MX5 nutz forum in February 2016) Got some of the gold heat tape stuff. I also lowered the exhaust heat shield I’d made ages ago so it can stay fitted with the charger on. I will probably add to the heat shielding or rethink it entirely if I need to but this […]
MX5 – Intercooler Fitting – Modifying Radiator Brackets
(First posted on MX5 nutz forum in February 2016) It’s intercooler fitting time. Well almost. Got to make space for it first. It was bound to end up getting knocked around while trying to fit it so I did this as a bit of protection. After a fair bit of staring and moving […]
MX5 – Washer Bottle Relocation
(First posted on MX5 nutz forum in February 2016) The original washer bottle is in the way of the supercharger inlet so it had to go. It’s a bit big to find another home for it in the engine bay so I had a look for an alternative. And picked up a 9 quid kit […]
