Yeah I decided to just get a generic OBD2 gauge as it should have everything I'd want like oil pressure, coolant temp, oil temp, etc.. and would save me wiring hassle and $$$ |

Has anyone tested one of the OEM K flywheel covers to see if they fit?

Thanks for posting the video and sharing your experience. I looked into swapping a K24 as well but after looking at the costs and efforts required, getting a Gen2 appeared to be the better option, especially with the strong resale.

Trying not to spam up this thread, but I figured I'd crosspost a little bit here from my 'build' thread since it might be relevant to other people.
1. I went with the KPower Miata right exit waterneck (https://kpower.industries/collection...r-coolant-neck) 2. I needed a M12x1.5 plug for the extra Miata coolant temperature sensor bung, the housing comes with a 5/8" barb fitting 3. I used the Tractuff 5/8 barb thermostat housing adapter (https://tractuff.com/products/tractu...t-port-adapter) 4. On the left side of the motor I used a couple Dayco 80401, a couple of aluminum 5/8" unions, and some spare tube to connect the intake manifold, water outlet, and thermostat housing 5. On the left side of the motor I used the entire stock front tube, hacked up the KPower supplied tube, did a bit of NAPA hose diving and settled on a 8721 with a 1 1/4" aluminum union. 6. I left the stock wiring harness plastic bracket on the car and trimmed it a tiny bit, which might not have been needed I'm hoping the left side stuff helps bleeding / warmup and the right side stuff seems a lot cleaner to me. I still need to make some kind of brackets for the hose for my own personal peace of mind. Where did you guys run the large negative terminal ground to? I ran the engine harness ground to the terminal on top of the transmission, but I'm kind of thinking I should just run them both there even though it sucks to get to. Also, what did you ziptie / mount the main engine harness connector to for strain reduction?

Well, it is on the ground, running, and drives.
First order of business is figuring out why it isn't charging.

Turns out I somehow moved the EFI2 relay to the wrong spot when taking apart my fuse box to remove the Harrop supercharger kit I had on the car prior. Few more things I've noticed that I need to add to the (already long) list: 1. Secure the fuel lines in the engine bay so they can't vibrate 2. Oil temp sensor calibration is way off 3. Need to make the throttle body mapping updates Tyler posted on FB (https://i.imgur.com/S3PTOtF.jpg) 4. The out of the box tune is looking for 43.5psi fuel pressure, my surge tank FPR is set to 60psi, need to fix that. I greatly prefer a fuel pressure sensor so I can add a failsafe. Also, interestingly, I was able to completely pump out my completely full tank with the in tank pump. Not sure what is going on inside of it it but I pumped the entire thing out and I was able to put 12gal of 91 into the car and it could still have taken more. I assume it has to do with the surge tank. The car seems like it might bleed fine, the thermostat opened up but I boiled the fluid up and out of my Liste funnel.

Mine is doing the same thing, I've tried the various Haltech/Bosch temp sensor calibrations and its still the same. Oil pressure readings are fine, however. I also used the Miata right side coolant neck and added the extra heater hoses on the left side, I've found after bleeding with the Lisle funnel a few times, just top it off, close the radiator cap and see if you get heat/are fully bled. |

My oil pressure is also good. I don't have a heater box in my car anymore, but I just went out and drove it around for about twenty minutes. Coolant temps stayed around 218f, not sure if it is bled completely or not yet, I'm going to stick the funnel back into it once it cools down later today and try it again since I refuse to believe that it was that easy after reading horror stories here. Few notes from my first drive: 1. The Sachs Sport Metallic 4 puck that I was worried about feels like a stock clutch, absolutely zero issues and a massive relief. 2. I forgot to plug in the wideband after moving everything to its final location, the car felt like it wasn't going into VTEC but still felt about as quick as my FA20 bolt-on BRZ so I wasn't positive. Plugged in the O2 sensor and now we're getting somewhere, feels pretty good on the base map for what it is but I'm sure a proper tune will be night and day. 3. I left my breathers open since I'm waiting on my catch can stuff to show up and I also overfilled the crankcase by a quart thinking I was going to plumb in my oil cooler before first drive. Yeah, now I have a bit of an oil mist mess to clean up. 4. NVH isn't too bad at all for what the car is. Would I consider it a daily level? Nah. On the track car scale it is pretty tame. Intake noise for whatever reason isn't as loud as my 08 Civic Si, 02 S2000 track car, etc so that is kind of surprising.

I put in an action clutch with Kpowers 9lb super light flywheel and it feels like stock lol I don't get it. Actually, I am kind of disappointed it doesn't have more feel to it (say compared to my 370z or Rx7). |

Haha, I am also on the 9lb. It all just feels like a normal street clutch, not grabby or irritating to manage. The car had an OSGiken HTR in it before, that thing is a turd.

If you guys want a little more feel to the clutch action I recommend the 3/4" slave upgrade. I also removed the assistance spring at the pedal assembly. Both changes make the clutch perfect in my experience.
