so here is the routing of the pipes, from turbo to IC. They start out as 2" and merge to 2.25". The extra 1/4 made it impossable to get down between the washer fluid tank and the bumper. The TD05 has a 2 inch outlet so no harm, no fowl. Please ignore the hole blown into the up-pipe. My buddies welder was pushing a little extra current during the tack.

Pipes are pretty much done. Same with the down pipe. What a PITA that was.

I'm undecided on what to do.. do I powder coat now or test the biatch out... It's so close and I've waited a long time to get this far.

It was a good day today. Got the Walbro 255 pump in... the Rx 460cc's and NRG AFPR. Just need my summit order to get here and I can try her out.
Pics up this eve/early morning.

How can you tell someone's location by the appearance of their car? By the amount of rock chips on the bumper! Yay for 8 month winters eh? :(

LOL, no doubt.
To be honest.. I just used spray bombs made by Se7en on the bumper so I was not rollin with a primer bumper. The paint job should be done this summer/fall.

But ya, damn Alberta roads.

The Walbro kit for the mx-3 went on nice and easy. I had to cut the metal tube back about an inch to allow for the bigger pump to fit. Other than that, no issues. I am still deciding on the mounting location for the AFPR.. it's just tied to the AC line for now.
The Tuner Toys fuel rail for the miata b6 is a no go. Had to try it.
Have the full specs on the RX injectors.

Here's an old one, but it might be handy for those who don't want to see their engine management. It's totally hidden until you pop the glove box.

Engine management? Where all I see is a piggy-back system and it seems like a really good one better than the crappy e-manage. Good luck with your P.B.

Still waiting for the pipes to return... Did some looking around on AEM's forums. They have made some basic videos on workin with the F/IC. They are in their infancy, but take a look.

I don't know if I still have the exact model number.. will have to track down that for you. I do know that it was listed specifically for the MX3. I did a quick search and I believe this is the exact kit.:
