Hi guys and gals hope everyone is enjoying there holidays. Unfortunately iv got a couple of issues with bring my build back to stock. 

I upgraded the old rb20det with a bigger blower, injectors and mafless ecu al work was done at prestige tuner, car has never skipped a beat. 

The time has come to bring the old girl back to stock, enjoy it a little and move on to bigger and better things. i had to buy a s/h rb25 turbo (no shaft play and wastegate isn't seized), factory ecu and injectors, the airflow meter wire where cut short to the plug so i had to plug each wire into the AFM one at a time with blade terminals. Started the car and it is surging, cutting out and sometimes holding revs at 2000 rpm, blowing black smoke and the car will not rev past 2500 rpm without coughing and spattering (just when it hits boost). I come to the conclusion that the AFM could be the issue so i replaced it, cleaned my plugs which where black, and checked to see if my timing had been changed (it hadn't) and still no improvement at all ): Any help would be greatly appreacated

2nd MAF is also not working, you wired the MAF plug not correctlyor you have a f**king big air leak somewhere on your piping.

Given what you said about the plug i would buy an other clean pigtail and wire it correctly.

      He could just take the Bogan Cruise Ships setup... Already got a good setup, with blower, the auto was rebuilt too wasn't it? Perfect time for him to upgrade the tailshaft, diff, and axles...    And wouldn't need to waste money on redoing the Commos seats, as he could just buy race seats for the 5...   As a highly modded car he could avoid the ability to give it away to offspring too when they crash their cars...

      It's really interesting how much it's moving left to right, and doesn't appear to be actually spreading. For this to be moving left to right, without flaring, means unequal forces being applied until equilibrium hits in one way or another.   Reasons it could be unequal; Piston sizes left to right are different sizes. Only minute differences. Pistons moving on different planes. That is, are they moving directly straight at each other, or slightly out of alignment. The fluid is restricted getting to one side.   Some tests you could do. Pull the bleeders on the left and right, fit each side with pressure gauges. It will allow you to make sure pressure is equal (and really, it should be as fluid flow is so damn low, so fluid flow dynamics shouldn't come into it).   With the calipers off the car, have both sides retracted as far as possible, measure very very accurately (think micrometre) distances between opposing pistons in four different spots per set of pistons. Firstly, on each opposing pistons pair, the measures on for different spots should be equal. If it's not, and especially if one spot appears to actually get closer compared to another, the pistons aren't aligned, and now the forces left to right won't be equal, as they're the forces fighting each other.   You can also pull all the pistons out, and very very accurately measure the diameter of them. If they're not equal left to ight in the pairings, and especially if the area of the pistons on one side is different to the area on the other overall, it'll all be out of whack.   My bet, is shit QC in making sure the pistons move in the same plane left vs right. Some minor out of square machining, and nothing will line up, things will want to move around.

      Whilst putting a V8 in a MX5 would be fun, it would negate the whole cheap to run fun daily that the MX5 will be used for If I wanted a faster little convertible I would have got a engine check light, I mean a BMW Z4 M, but going off the issues that the guy at work who recently got one is having, it is lucky I didn't  Meh, horses for courses, the Bogan Cruise Ship is my go to for some horse torques

      I reckon give him a few months, LSX swap would be good
