So things are not going my way... I got everything to do the timing chain and finally got around to starting it this week, have to pull the engine to get the valve cover and timing tool in. So got as far as fitting the tool and started to try and take the crankshaft pulley off, I got a Ryobi...

I'm starting to get everything I need to do a timing chain job, including hpfp upgrade. Lots of resources on how to do this around here, extremely useful!. However the cam and tdc locking tool/pin I'm looking around the internet to get, as per all my other questions this far I'm trying to save...

I have read and seen multiple posts about replacing the hpfp internals. With the opportunity to get this done coming up I am looking at my opinions. The 2 I keep seeing is corksport and autotech, they are both in the US and I'm sure they are quality parts, just wondering if there are any other...

I have got a cel with a p0403 error code Forscan is saying valve position control circuit. Short circuit to ground or battery. This DTC may be caused by Damage or worn vacuum hose Egr valve assembly So I have replaced the egr with a second hand OEM one with the same error, I have replaced...

I'm back again... Still having a few issues with my build, looks like maybe a pcv issue this time, to get to it the intake has to come out once more, it's a real pita to get out as the tb is facing 180 degrees away from where I want (need) it to be. All aftermarket intakes I have seen, due to...

Still having some issues with my heart transplant, tried to keep things stock but I'm getting to the point it's causing me more issues than it's worth. Making things potentially simpler I'm considering swapping out the intake manifold from the mazdaspeed to the mx5 mk3 intake, there are some...

as some of you know I have been working on a swap for my mx5. I still havent got it running where I want it to, I have had a CEL for my egr, my new alternator with less than 200 miles on it had an issue and I was able to make a decent home made smoke tester and have found some intake and...

I am attempting to try to finalize my project car, fixed a couple of ongoing issues including a boost leak (there may be more?!). However I am running live data to see how things are running with the car and have noticed that it has a high LTFT around the 18% mark when idle/cruising. I have...

Hi all, this is going to be a long shot here but here goes. I have a heavily modified mx5 with a cx7 engine and abs unit. Amongst other issues I have a problem where the stability control kicks in when I'm turning a corner when doing over 20 mph, with one side of the brakes clicking in. I...

As some of you know from other posts here that I have fitted one of these engines to an mx5 I got an issue with the engine temp sensor, so I haven't fully ran it for a long period of time. The issue I am having is that there does't seem to have any coolant running through the turbo, I have it...

So this is a bit late of a question for me but might be useful at a later stage as I have done all the intake pipe in my project now. Is there an alternative intake manifold where the throttle body and intake actually comes in from the opposite side of the manifold? I.e from the auxiliary belt...

I got a unique situation here, I've put one of these engines into a mark 3 mx5, this project took way longer than expected and I have finally come to start the engine and it won't start Using forscan I can see there is pressure all the way up to the fuel rail but after turning the engine over a...

I am currently working on a project car, taken the engine out of a CX7 2.3 and putting it into an mx5 mk 3 (same year) I have replaced the wiring harness in the MX-5 with the one from the cx-7 along with the dash and ecu. Coming to the end of the project now and attempted to start the engine...
