yeah, i'd go a 1.8.

i had the crazy idea of doing N/A tuning to it. building it to rev to ridiculous figures. would be different :laugh:

It would so original like every other NA MX-5 track car in existence...

thats exactly what i'm thinking. there are a few little problems with the car, but it ran really well. the conversion cost 12K which he had almost all the receipts for.

i just have this gut feeling that i shouldnt get it.

does it look dodgy? or is it all nice and clean and smooth? if i were u, id wait til the guy put in the cooler and the bov & plumbing and fixed that steering issue, and then buy it. caus if he wants to get rid of the thing, he'll prolly be more than happy to do that (well he should)

Bilstein FTW.

thought so. done

lol so in other words uve got no idea what new car u want :laugh:

i want the mazda, but not sure on whether to go the rotary transplant or build up a stock one (turbo or N/A)

yeah, i already sent him a pm saying that if he fixes up a few issues i would be pretty happy to buy it.

it doesnt look too dodgy. he did have an electrical issue when we drove it, thermo relay died. did a temporary fix and were going again. body oculd be better but we are doing a full respray anyway so didnt matter too much.

it reminds me of the 33 i had, very similar issues.

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
