Failed Miata Latch Mod Turned Successful?!?
Просмотров 9228 дней назад
In this video I tried the free latch button repair method of filing down part of it to help increase contact... it didn't work for me, maybe I did something wrong. Afterwards, I tried to recover with some 3d printed parts. Links to parts I printed: latch button - www.thingiverse.com/thing:4896915 latch cap - www.thingiverse.com/thing:4514870

    great video for NB. Had this issue, engine would race to 3000 rpm then go down to normal idle, repeat and repeat until warmed up. - Replaced with a new one and fixed the issue - on NA miata this is controlled by collant tempeture - on NA miata can tested by cooling in fridge and heating up in oven (look for a video on it) - location on NA miata is right side on manifold

      Wiring was pretty straight forward. It comes with a full diagram to show where everything connects to. If you're already running a second battery in the trunk it's going to be even easier since all you'll need to route to the front is the accessory wire and the cable for the remote.

    I'd be interested in seeing if there's a difference in airflow if you reversed that funnel in the bumper. There's a book on auto aero that mentions a reverse funnel will allow airflow to expand to fill the space, where a funnel will cause turbulence on the sides and actually pull some of the air out. The book is called Maximum Boost by Corky Bell. I think it's def worth looking into.
