Advice On next mod

[FlipKing]

I have a short ram intake, exintake cam, and putting a header on next week and advancing the timing. With out a turbo or spray,what should my next "power" mod be? I'm dong exaust this summer, so besides that.lol

ECU.

Will an ECU really cause a difference with my small mods?

Yeah they can help out quite a little bit. And are also good for the future if you plan on doing something major. For the early Miata if you can remove the AFM you can free up a bit of power too.

When I removed my AFM it felt like a different car.

But for that you'll need a stand alone unit like the Megasquirt. If you go the piggyback route you can mess with a few ratios and maybe squeeze a little extra power out. I think doppelganger had decent success with an apexi SAFC.

wait, AFM? and any specific ECU?

[simontibbett]

What year is your car?

HKS makes a AFM delete.

Unless you go with an ECU youre probably maxed out after the exhaust. :lol:

Which might only be making up for the intake. Not all intakes do good for the Miata, well from reading that's what I've discovered at least.

1995, what is the AFM? and how does it help to get rid of it?

Air flow meter...in the intake tract.

Megasquirt (and others) can be made to work using other sensors
alleviating need for it....thus ridding your intake of a bottleneck.

Will also sound cooler lol.

[FlipKing]

Ohhhh,so buy getting another ECU, that would allow me to do the AFM delete also.

[simontibbett]

Yes, basically.
