Z20 mx5 is pretty awesome! Great video as always. Trying to get my astra mk4 track car back on the road after conversion from z18xe to z20let but got an electrical gremlin that’s halted progress currently!
Aaron Unknown well the engine cranks and try’s to start then after few revolutions coughs and dies, the mfd comes up saying one by one that all the fluid levels are empty and the brake pads are low but they are wired in a loop as I have 4pot brembos on. My defi computer reads oil pressure from the banjo and gets a good pressure on a few cranks. The looms are from a gsi and were sold to me as both from the same car, bulk head connector pins all seem fine and nothing bent, re plugged it in a few times but no change. Any ideas?
All take a bow to this great engineer#mechanic someone who knowz his his bolt sizes by eye experience is key top job time to start showing ya face let the world know is great at what they do much respect love the way empty vessels make the most noise🤔😉
Great vid as always. Im wanting to run the ko6 in my build, i have the sri 2l turbo ler engine, do i just need to machine the turbo housing out for it to fit like you did with yours or do i need a new housing?
Love that mx5 mate! Great video again, you keep yourself busy don’t you !😎Wish you lived out here in Western Australia, then you could play with my Astra VXR for me!😆🤪🇦🇺👍All the best. Steve.

Hey mate, quick question. I live in Australia and I'm planning to do the K06 on my z20let. Is it absolutely necessary to do a remap or will the ECU short term fuel trim be able to cope and not let it run lean with increased flow at stock boost ?
Unfortunately yes, The K06 flows loads more air so will lean out the ecu will compensate to try to stop knock/det and you will end up running less power then the K04 map
Proper engine in that MX5. That LEH in the garage looks so clean!
Great conversion. Everything was bought new from gm for that engine. All bolts clips ect 👌🏻
