MX-5 NC with RX-8 231 Engine

Paul_13 · June 01, 2020, 09:27:32 PM

Still getting lean AFR's at light throttle 5k ish revs.
Can someone measure the distance between the MAF screens please?
I'm wondering if I have them spaces too far apart.
Is rx8oc down?

Ended up getting a rx8 air box and in the middle of putting it in.
Unfortunately to get the rx8 airbox to fit, I needed to refit the mx5 fuse box.
Lots of silent sobbing going on in my head at the moment. One of those jobs you wish you didn't start

I would have rather modified the air box than mess with the rats nest of wiring

I have 1 more relay to swap over. That's the starter relay. Unfortunately it's bigger than that the mx5 item so need to create a relay holder.

The ignition IG fuse 40A caused a bit of confusion. The mx5 setup doesn't have this fuse

All the rest is done. Next job is to reroute the wiring so it fits into the fuse box

Cool! Fingers crossed.

That's the rx8 fuse boards out.
Now just to tie up a few loose ends and tidy up all the wiring

More progress. Fuse box swapped over. Just got to sort the slack on the cables. Hopefully have that sorted tonight

That's better at least I can get some tape around it

Grant Monkhouse · June 22, 2020, 12:28:40 PM

Don't suppose you know the width between the chassis legs in the engine bay do you? I'm away at work for the week and trying to measure up for fitting a rad and fuel cell in there but forgot to. Measure how much room I have available

Thanks
