I am not sure what the ACT is or exactly what does but will investigate it.
The EGR I believe is a diaphragm looking device on the intake manifold, correct?
And it sounds like the ACT is an electro mechanical device.
I am using an 87 Turbo coupe ECU that had a 5 speed manual transmission.
The engine I bought came from an 85 Thunderbird that had been rolled and a father/son team bought it after hearing it run, put some oil in the cylinders and were going to use it in a project but had too much on their list so they sold it. They had it running. It had 60 k miles on it. So I do have fair confidence in the engine.
Not sure what a VAM is but will look into it.
I was thinking my turbo is a T3. It came from the stock 85 exhaust manifold that was part of the 85 engine. The intercooler is a lightweight unit I bought because the 87 turbo coupe intercooler was too large and heavy to get inside my Model A hood. I have changed the position of the inlet and outlets to keep the flow going in the shortest manner.
I have the MAP or BAP mounted above my master brake booster and am wiring it up. You can see it and the relay controller box mounted above that brake booster in the photos.
Your paragraph that speaks of LA3 strategy is way over my head. Don’t think I understood anything there. I have been building cars in one form or another, on and off since I was 17 but most were carb engines, VW, Porsche, Chevy V8 etc until I put the Miata in the pickup. In that case I had the entire wrecked Miata that I had owned before with just 50k miles. So I had the entire wiring harness, matching ECU and all sensors.
I taught electronics for 13 years (1968-1981) so the wiring does not intimidate me, it just takes me a while to get up to speed on things I have never done before.
Again, I thank you for your input. It has been very helpful in getting me up to speed on several things.
And, I must mention that when I talked to Stinger Performance, the fellow told me my Miata fuel pump would not deliver enough fuel volume for the hp. I would rather not take out the Miata pump from the tank so I am thinking I will add another pump inline but external of the tank. I found one that will deliver more than needed and I realize the pressure regulator on the fuel rail controls the pressure not the pump. The pump just keeps fuel moving.
