Do you guys think the extra heat is angering my ECU? To the point where it's pulling timing?

Really? No one knows their water temp??? (dunno)

Hello friends, she's still running like poop when up to temp. In normal traffic conditions, with the AC off, and 90* outside my coolant temp is 230. I have a cheapo P5 radiator. Is this my problem? Is my ecu pulling timing because of my high(er) temps? Thanks again for your help!

ECU related.. Sensors perhaps?

Any updates black n yellow? My mods are different but symptoms are identical.. After reading this whole thread I'd say it has something to do with the ecu..

It was the HG. Resurfaced the head and did all the timing goodies while I was at it. Even the rear motor mount.. So, reliability has been restored. Still runs like poop when it's up to temp and in boost. I'm thinking a sensor it making it angry.. I know it's not the WG.. Thoughts?

Hmmm. I already have ARP head studs. I've been reading that it's okay to reuse 'em. What do you think?

Do we have a how to (with torque specs, detailed pics, etc) on replacing a head gasket? I'm thinking about replacing the entire head.. What do you guys think about THIS? May as well replace the rear motor mount while I have the head off.. Parts list: Ebay Head: 380 Arp Studs: 120...

The coolant does smell a bit like gas.. Head?. It doesn't look like there's oil in it though.

That's next on the list. Is is possible for that test to not detect a head gasket leak? I don't see any bubbles with the radiator cap removed. No sketchy residue under my oil cap... Thanks for the quick replies

Actron Tester. It's a cheapo but I figured it could confirm variances between cylinders. Here's a link to the tester I used. My test procedure: Remove spark plugs and injector fuse. Test each cylinder (wet and dry). Wide open throttle. Each test was 5 seconds Let me know what you think.

Hello friends, I'd like to start by saying I need to buy everyone here a beer cause you all have been very helpful over the years. Today's Episode: Compression I did a dry and wet test, below are the numbers: Dry: 200/140/168/176 Wet: 215/150/192/192 I know 180ish across the board is where...

Rekindling an oldie here - but I'd really like to know the answer to this question? (dunno)

I'll get back to you with the fan specs - I have the miata at work today.. I appreciate all your help guys.

Hairspray that's genius! haha

that's a good question. Recently I've been hearing some noise from the bottom end. I guess one of the reasons I'm giving up is because I feel like I wont blow it up as fast if I baby it.

30psi! you make me proud! I wish you were closer to GA so you could check it out. I've spent so much time and money on my MSP...

Oh, sidenote/short story: I was in boost the other day and blew my hot pipe (Tbolt clamp wasn't tight enough). With my boost just spilling off into the atmosphere, my ride felt nice, no hesitation, just a smooth consistent ride.. It would probably still be faster than my miata...

Pretty sure. I've also wired them to both to the main relay. So the both come on when up to temp..

I've been running 8psi on street. 11-14 on track. I'm not much of a lead-foot anymore (at my old age of 25 hahah).
