Does this mean that FC/FD ignition will work on the MS2 as well?

Since y'all are combining two busted trannies into one, would you be willing to part with the left overs? I need the 5th gear set off a S5 N/A tranny. (It's either a .711 ratio or a .697)

 

I was in the 324th for BMT!! neat... flight 007, no kidding. I was there in '01 with SSgt. Bills as my TI.

 

yeah, but it's going to take a LONG time to port everything, and I'm not porting that as my first thing. I'm going to port some other stuff first, like staged injection.

I mean we're translating assembly to C, and integrating it with code that's already there... It's not going to be easy.

 

So, after a few hours of waiting for tow truck guys to move cars and having them follow me home I am now the proud owner of a 1985 GSL-SE with very nice paint and interior. Some of the under carriage needs to have parts replaced. It apparently overheated and siezed so im goign to get it up on jackstands and tear all those crap parts off and catologue what needs to be bought, start removing the motor and breaking it down.

I have two spare NA 13Bs I hope to be able to piece together a motor from. Wit a complete gasket kit and a few pieces here and there I hope to have another daily driver so I can park my FD.

 

Woo!

Woo!

 

Hope those are both FC or both FB 13B's... They changed a few things that make parts incompatible. Namely housings, front covers, and oil pans.

 

321st! haha san antonio was baddass..

 

man...im bored...its gonna take me 1 more day to download sims 2...

 

Both FC motors sir and a third actually in a 2nd gen I have available if I wish. Theres a TII motor out at Crazy Rays for sale if anyone wants it.

 

Awesome

It's only 171 for me.

So less'see... We could take one of the heads offa that. That'll bring er down to 227...

Take one spark plug outta the remaining 4 cylinders and just kinda grind away the intake valve so it looses compression on another remaining cylinder.

 

Bah @ u!

 

If ya frequent that place, could ya check Crazy Rays for a late model Miata tranny?

I'll check if gear ratios changed in a bit and be more specific. I'd hate to drive up there just to check for something that might not be there.

EDIT: Yeah.. 99 or later, 5 speed.

 

S4 or S5?

 

couldnt tell you if its an S4 or S5. If you tell me what those are I can find out if you like.

 

If you have the rest of the car available:

S4 (1986-1988)...
-The tail lights are divided in a rectangular grid.
-The speedo and tach rest at like 8 o'clock, and the other guages rest at 9 o'clock.
-The body rub strips are ALL black. (EXCEPT the 1988 10th Anneversary edition. They're white.)

S5 (1989-1991)
-The tail lights are solid smoked witha round light pattern.
-All gauges rest at 8 o'clock.
-Body rub strips are color matched.

If you just have the engine, look for the OMP on the front cover of the engine. It'll be on the manifold side down towards the bottom. four clearish-yellowish plastic pipes going to it. (They may be broken off if they're old and brittle.)

The S4 OMP is purely mechanical. No electrical wiring should goto it.
The S5 OMP has a stepper motor, so some electrical wiring should goto it.

Others may be able to elaborate, I've not seen the two engines side by side up close, so I'm sure there's more differences.

 

i have now learned to differenciate(sp?) between them!

 

The intake manifold on the S4 is more of a box shape..

while the S5 IM has 4 tubes going to the right to connect to the lower IM.
(this is what i want)

The lips of the S4 is straight across (from pass to driver)
while S5 lip has an indentation (sp) in the opening.. plus the front bumper comes with clear blankers and room for fog lights.

 

Well i've started to see what she does and notice that she dont like help other people when they are in need. The only time you'll see my car up at the movies is on Sundays.. All day sunday.. like today and next week... not sure for the rest of the sundays.. bout to quit the movies cuz i like my sales job alot more.. (more driving but more money :-D) if i call you its goin to be early in the day or late at night like after 9pm (free minutes)

 

it's a turbo, so the manifolds are different


S5s have black circle AFMs and S4s have boxy metal AFMs...
S5 TIIs have BBSish style rims, S4 TIIs have wheelish looking rims
S5 TIIs are awesomer
if it doesn't have ABS,powersteering,AC,or a sunroof, then it's an S4
S5 radiator caps are on a neck, while S4 caps are on the radiator.

that's all I can think of at the moment that you would be able to see

i started at the 326th for first 2 weeks. then i got sent to med hold for 2 weeks due to back problems. i came out and graduated with the 323rd. im heading off to keesler tonight. its DAMN hot in texas this time of year. peaked at 116-120 heat index almost every day for past 2 months.
