    lol. true.

    The dx looks like the body is in better shape. I have everything on the mx3 to do a 4 wheel disk setup and even widen the stance before putting her on the road. Then I could see about swappping in a mx3 dash and maybe pull the power windows out of the lx.IDK, everything is in the air right now.

      Got some gtx injectors. This should make it good to about 10 psi

          Yes. Need to make a few more bucks. I have 1 lined up. The setup that's in it now does run but I want a cleaner setup. Hacked fuel rail, na ecu and u code vaf I don't think gives this setup any justice. New setup will be:

          Gtx injectors
          Gtx ecu(bp26)
          T3 set at 10 psi
          Ebay miata t25 manifold moddified with t3 flang and braced
          B code vaf
          Civic half rad 2 row aluminum
          New downpipe(being made before install)
          Full 2.5 exhaust from dp to fart can(for now) with no cat or res(might install a res if its too loud)
          Trying to grab a bpv instead of a bov
          Better ic piping and couplers

              Thanks Jack

              Now I'm faced with another "what should I use?" Question lol. My boy shawn has 2 r code gtr vafs. He told me 1 had my name on it. With the gtx injectors and ecu with the t3 should I run the gtr vaf or the b code I have?

                Try em both, see which one holds better A/F ratios. Seems the most logical thing to me.

                  Damn, those injectors got there quick!

                  Oh, and go 3" exhaust.

                    if your outlet on your turbo isnt 3 inch, there is absolutely no point in 3'' exhaust...

                        The pirk of the gtx vaf is the boost cutoff. There are less reported problems with it when compared to the gtx one.
                        Too bad I have AWD and you don't!

                              That's not entirely true, though if he was running a VF10 or whatever the GTX turbo is, i'd agree with you, a 2.5" would be the way to go.

                                Exhaust expands as it cools, larger tubing past the turbo does help out the flow.
