Tuner for Miata 1.8 NB / ITB's in Connecticut

Post by mj_duell »

Hi,
I am in need of a tuner that can tune ITB's. Here is my current set-up. This is for a 99 1.8 miata engine with itb's running in my Bauer Catfish car I am building.

1999 Miata 1.8NB engine
OEM Crank wheel with 4 tabs and OEM CPS
OEM Cam Sensor
OEM Coolant Temp Sensor
MegaSquirtPNP G2 MM9900 for the 99-00
GM IAT mounted in front of air horns
Innovative LC-2 O2
OEM injectors (Cleaned and Tested)
OEM Fuel Pump
TOYOTA 4A-GE Black Top 20 Valve ITB's
TOYOTA TPS

I am able to start it and get it to idle with help, but after trying many different adjustments its not running right. Runs very rich at idle, (10-11 AFR) and is fouling my O2. I have tried ITB mode etc. I have done my best to try and get a grasp on the tuning but now I know I need help. Remote tuning would be best but I am open to travel if close enough. I can be contacted via the message system here.

Thanks,

Mike

Try Matt Kessler of Kessler Engineering. There's been at least once where one of our techs talked to him about a Miata he was tuning, got a horsepower number, and asked how much boost he was running... only to be told the motor was naturally aspirated.
