So things are getting buttoned up and the Haltech should be good to roll. I decided against the new LIM for now but can add that in the future. We had some questions around Coil Dwell settings and injector latency that Elliot was able to help with for the Haltech.
The heater core lines were crushed and the lines needed to be replaced.
The old heater core firewall grommets had seen better days.
New OEM lines and grommets installed.
RyWire Harness all hooked up and routed.
based on some advice on here it seems like most people map dwell against MAP so going with the 8K numbers because they are the shortest/worst case scenario.

The koyorad radiator is larger than OEM and needs some slight modifications to fit correctly.
The fans had to be clocked to clear the wires and pettit intercooler ducting.
Test fit...
After lots of little adjustments... way better.

To clear your factory rad hose and be able to use the big K&N you need something like my setup. Modified 4" s pipe from cxracing I think, and an HPS offset 4" coupler. Works perfect. If you are still a tad shy on room, silicone hps rad hoses are slightly smaller diameter and will buy you a touch more room. I have the 8374/cc3 also.

Most of the adjustments to the Koyo were done to get the setup as level as possible so the Pettit duct would fit correctly.
it could have been installed without that but it wouldn’t be level.
I am realizing more and more that nothing is really plug and play with these.

both of the sway bar mounts had been impacted and bent. As these also act as the lower radiator mounts, nothing fit right. We ended up buying a new mount for the left side and I was able to “massage” the other one back into position. We also had to cut off the tabs that help guide the lower mounts into position, and shave a little bit of sheet metal off the upper chassis mounts to make clearance for the bolt heads that hold the little L brackets to the Koyo. All pretty typical stuff when modifying a car, at least in my experience.

The data sheet for the coils specifies:
- Max Continuous Dwell: 9 mS but don’t exceed 40% duty cycle
- Max Intermittent Dwell: 80% duty cycle, 5 seconds maximum
I'm sure some of the 'professional' t00ners out there will disagree, but half of them are copy and paste hacks that never think beyond the surface application to understand how any of this all really works anyways.
Let me know if you have any other questions with the haltech setup or tuning stuff, I'd be glad to help out wherever I can.

The midpipe needed some slight adjustments to make sure the downpipe was clocked to give the most ground clearance.
about .5in taken out and welded back together. Now it all fits perfect.
Intake material
Intake on...
Coolant hard pipe fab work by Andrew...
Bead rolling each side.

SUPER excited to receive the OEM plastics back from getting refurbished...Opened the box... and this is what we pull out...
So after all that waiting and back and forth, decided to just go with the carbonmiata interior pieces. You know it’s legit when it has 100 shipping stickers.
The Carbon Miata pieces are not an OEM finish out for the box. Andrew can comment on this more as he’s is deep into it but they seem to need a lot of modifying to fit correctly.
The matte Carbon looks really nice in person.
