Yeah his work looks good. Already questioned him on trademe, looks like the exhaust needs to be modded to clear the slave cylinder as it changes it from a pull to a push. I was hoping to get something that would be bolt on but it looks like there will be some minor work required to get...

Nice work mate. I am looking to do a manual conversion on my Soarer. Who did you get your bell housing through? Cheers Matt.

I can't recommend where I got them from, long drawn out saga that I don't want anyone else to go through. I got them for $2300 shipped. Best bet would be to go direct to Performalink and deal direct with them. They are the only authorised importers and everyone buys through them. No one else...

I am running a 10in rear with a +38 offset with no problems. I only have a 265 tire on there at the moment for various reasons but it could easily take a 275 or 285.

Thanks guys, will tap into one of the coils then. I had assumed that the cluster would be low input - you know what they say about assumptions! Anyone know off the top of their head which lead is the neg on the coil? Cheers Matt.

Hi Sideshow. I am running a Link ignitor which doesn't have a tach output on it so I am using the Link ECU tach output wire. I have both a 4cyl and a 6cyl gauge cluster. Both of them have a pot which can be adjusted to get the tach reading correctly. I would have thought that the factory...

Thanks for the replies guys. So far two valid points, definitely bigger bragging rights with a supercharger no doubt about that and yep, filling the bottle will be a pain in the ass at times. Still though, the difference in costs is still great enough to swing the deal towards NOS I think at...

I am looking at giving my 93 Soarer a bit of a performance boost. Above the usual BFI and exhaust there isn't much in the way of performance unless you spend big money. I sat down and priced out both options, a ZEX nitrous kit or a Fish based used Vortech V1 supercharger setup. My prices...

Use a multimeter to check the Miata wires before connecting anything up. If you apply 12v to the yellow wire on the 1UZ alternator you will kill the regulator inside it. By grounding the appropriate wire on the Miata harness you should activate the charge light on the dash, this is the one to...

Bummer mate, that's not cool. If it was me I would disconnect the super charger and remove the rising rate reg and get the vehicle running stock again. That will make it MUCH easier to diagnose problems. Sounds like you need to read the codes as well to see if anything is showing up. Good...

Any updates on this awesome project? I am contemplating the same thing myself. Did you have any issues with belt tension, vacuum leaks or anything else that others seem to have? Have you done any monitoring of the engine yet to check the AFR? What was the fuel regulator you used? Cheers Matt.

Thanks for the reply Big. As I am running the Link ECU I run the Link ignitor pack which doesn't have a tach output on it, you drive it from the ECU itself. Cheers Matt.

I have an LN130 Surf which has a 1UZFE run by a Link V4 ecu. I have installed a V6 EFI gauge cluster to get the rev counter to work. I have the factory wiring diagram which shows a black wire on one of the connectors running to the gauges so I cut it and spliced the Link wire in but no joy...

I swapped a V6 Surf tank into mine and it runs the 1UZ fine without a surge tank or anything else. Nice and quiet as well. It originally had a bosch mounted in the engine bay but it was very noisy and didn't like the fuel level getting below a quarter. Easiest option would be to fit a later...

Nice work Guts. I have a transmission cooler that I am about to fit on my power steering setup as well. How did you wire the tach up, from the ignitor or coil back to which factory loom wire? Cheers Matt.

The stock 1091 clutch won't last long behind the heavy sedan with a V8. Look at getting the pressure plate upgraded to a heavier duty item and look for a better clutch plate. Matt.

Where do you get the drive for the ECU then? Off the back of the dash? Cheers Matt.

9.5V at cranking is probably okay, anything above 9V should be enough for the ECU to operate okay. In terms of measuring the voltage at the injectors it's best to use a scope rather than a meter if possible as the meter might make it look like everything is okay when it's not as it will be...

The G and W series use the same box. There are a number of adaptor plates and bellhousings listed on trademe. If you do a search there for 1UZ you will find flywheels, clutches, bellhousings etc. Matt.

I have removed the latch assembly and gone to pins. The assembly was in the way of the fan. Cheers Matt.
