why not get some real engine management and see if you can make the motor last a little while? might as well make some power with it while it can still handle handle like a miata. it surely wont if/when the 5.0 is installed ---

Straight and Miata aren’t two terms I generally think of together. I kid I kid looks good. You might want to look into that leaky valvecover. Your new [to you] turbo won’t make it any better. ---

> [@JDMSIR](#): > > Sweet little project. This is probably jsut me but why the hell cant people keep their engine bays clean? First thing I do when I buy a car is buy some purple degreaser and have at it on the engine bay with a full bottle and pressure washer. After that some elbow grease and Armorall to make everything shiny. I cant stand dirty engine bays. I hate working on dirty ass engines. Sorry just a little rant. I hate it when they won’t start after you wash the shit out of the engine bay. ---

> [@boardjnky4](#): > > fmu? is that safe to use? It is what is “recommend” for the set-up. it is what comes with the greddy kit. Not a huge fan of it to be honest. If I continue down this path I’ll just go with MS ---

> [@escgt](#): > > with the fmu your injectors are only good for 5-6psi on them small 230cc injectors Yeah, Then people tend to go with the 1.8 injectors and add a little more boost or engine management and supra injectors. Don’t worry too much, I did do my homework before doing this. 😃 I have an 02 clamp and a set of the 1.8 injectors and might add a bipes. ---
