FAB9 Tuning

Over 100 ND2’s boosted at this point 😅

We impulse bought this NC2 PRHT Auto car. Tossed on some BC’s and a set of wheels with some new rubber. Now the question is…. do we toss on our Fab9 GT kit and sell this thing? Anyone interested in some auto/boost content?

The auto trans has actually really impressed me from a performance standpoint. The actual auto mode does super well.

We are playing CATCH UP! These Bosch Throttle Bodies for the NC/ND1/ND2 are all going out. ✌️

See increases in responsiveness (Especially on those lazy ND’s). Increased horsepower and easier heel-toe action!

Huge, huge shout out to John. His 2.4L Fab9 EFR Turbo system equipped RX-8 is a spectacular piece of hardware. This man has put in some work with serious alterations/transmission conversions… impressive alone but this car has won this even back to back with two fairly different versions of his car.

Huge thank you to the folks that came out to see us at Miata’s at the Gap this weekend. We tuned 50+ cars this by the time we were packing up on Sunday.

There isn’t anything better than being able to reconnect with customers immediately after they try out their new Fab9 N1 Tune on VersaTune. Especially you guys who had been running a header for the last couple of years WITHOUT a tune. We also had the opportunity to re-tune some sloppy tuned 2.5’s.

Now it’s back to the grind of catching up with our recent tune request submissions. If you’re not already running our calibration, you’re missing out 😎

Come check us out at MATG this weekend. Over 1500 Miata’s along with their strange owners will be joining us at Fontana Village Resort located in Fontana Dam, NC. We’ve been attending this event for 10 years now and it’s always a big highlight to put some faces to names, tune some cars and catch some curves. See you there!

We will be on site with our new Elite Intake Manifold installed on our 407whp NC 2.4L Scalpel (Destroked 2.5L Duratec engine). Our ND2 HKS Supercharged RF and ON SITE REMAPPING for ND/NC Chassis using VersaTune software.

Another ND2 BOOSTED! Turbo System knocked out here at Fab9. Our secret sauce Fab9 F1 tune on the .llc software. You can configure your JDL system on our site and book installation with one of our guys on the phone/email. In and out in 24-48 hours.

Alright guys. We're LOCKED IN! The Pre-Order is live and we're doing something a bit unique with this one. As of now (6/21) - You're able to order the intake manifold on the site. With the limited number of production samples we have, we're going to be choosing one pre-order customer each week to deliver before the official release. You don't need to do anything additional to enter this "raffle" style program, just place your pre-order and we will draw one per week until they are depleted. If we draw your order and the color you choose is not available, we will offer to swap it in order to keep your order a priority.

LINK IN BIO - We’re 2 weeks out on what’s probably the most affordable NCM track day you’ve ever seen! Outside of a fantastic day on track, we’re looking forward to meeting you guys in the pits. Come hang, put some lap times down and enjoy the beautiful NCM facility in Bowling Green KY.

We’ve finally got the time to drop a Fab9 2.4L Scalpel engine into the shop Fab9 EFR Turbo System demo car. Should be phenomenal. Little secret, a production Elite manifold will be installed on MONDAY. That means production units will be available for purchase soon. Keep ya eyes peeled.

Another boosted ND2 wrapped up at Fab9 Tuning. The car was dropped off with 1255 miles on it! Love to see that.

Another Turbo ND2 wrapped up on the rollers! Plenty of room to grow on this setup now that he’s on our M-Cal Fuel Injectors. 226whp 194ft lbs.

I have not touched this car in 7 years. Broke the diff and it sat ever since.

A true relic is being resurrected. Most of our early customers recognize this car. This wasn’t my first Miata but it was something I put a lot of heart, passion and good old fashioned well documented work into. Most of those things I don’t have the capacity for, we’re very busy and I’m enjoying another phase of my life with my beautiful family.
These days when we walk a customer through ordering their engine internals, turbo system or book dyno time with a tuning client and I hear the excitement in their voice, BIG memories from my time building this car surface.

Cars aren’t stupid. They are a part of the our modern human experience and I find value in that. Anyways, big thanks to you guys for allowing us to be a part of yours. Keep an eye out for build updates on this rig!

HKS Japan flew into Nashville this week to visit with the Fab9 Tuning crew. We’re flattered to have been invited, in person to join their Pro Dealer network. We’ve also kicked off the partnership in the process of CARB certification for the ND Miata! Exciting times for ND owners!

ND1 and ND2 Large Throttle bodies are now LIVE on the site! Completely PNP and OEM re-learn compatible. https://fab9tuning.com/bosch-68mm-high-volume-throttle-body-nd-mx-5/

Oh word? Registration will be live soon! Come out and lay down some lap times at the high speed National Corvette Museum racetrack this summer!

Another ND2 Turbocharged! system installed meticulously installed here at Fab9. On the dyno with .llc tomorrow for some numbers!

ND2’s are coming up strong in the forced induction world now that we’ve got the software support using .llc This turbo system is just the thing we needed to push the envelope. Paired with our M-Cal injectors we’re expecting 270whp+ reliably.

2.4L NC Builds are about to be out in full force this season 💪 We’re stocking up HEAVY on NC internals. Last year we found ourselves waiting for inventory. Custom parts are always a struggle but this year we’re already ahead of the curve. Check out our new entire rotating assembly package for the ford Duratec 2.5L engines.

Now offering AMP EFI MS3 Pro and MSPNP systems at Fab9! We’ve been remote tuning MegaSquirt units for years and one of the more frustrating hurdles during the process is the MASSIVE variances in build quality on MegaSquirt systems in the market. We offer free injector/sensor setup on each ECU purchased through Fab9 Tuning. Beyond that, hourly remote tuning, your dyno or ours! Get your TeamViewer ready and we chime in to work our magic.

We moved to Tennessee to avoid this 🥶 UPS route is shut down for the holiday so we’re working from home today. If you have live tuning scheduled, we’re still on if the weather for YOU is good enough to drive. Stay warm!

HKS GT2 Superchargers are fantastic power adders on both the ND1 and ND2. With tuning buttoned up on these systems, you’re one weekend and a case of beer away from 250whp+

Fab9 GT Turbo System on another NC 2.5L swapped car. 290whp 252ft lbs on WASTEGATE PRESSURE! 7/8 psi. These motors love it.

This car is on the stock exhaust with just about nothing done but the turbo kit and a clutch.

https://fab9tuning.com/fab9tuning-gt-turbo-kit-nc-06-15/

Turbocharged ND2 - stock fueling limit reached! 226whp 204ft lbs. We’re now able to offer tuning support for every flavor or forced induction on the ND2. Order your system and tuning on the site now. Thanks for all of the community help on this one and thank you Neil for making the drive to Tennessee today.

It's been a busy year for turbo NC's. Today's remote session was Carlton’s NC1 2.5L Swapped turbo setup.

First pull after a couple of street revisions. Carltons car was pretty mechanically sound right off the rip. He did a great job with the installation which seemingly took 1 day.

First pull was 9psi and he made 304whp 300ft lbs. A fairly violent power output, not great for a track setup.

Boost down from 9 to as slower building lower peak of 7psi, running on wastegate to produce a slower WG action, we're still making great power 291whp 240ftlbs with a easier-on-the-rods power delivery.

Should be a great setup - He's operating on the following:
Fab9 GT Turbo System - Garrett GT 2871R
Pump 93
800cc included injectors
FX350 Clutch
ECUTEK Calibration (Included with the turbo kit).

Wrapped up another boosted ND2 Miata 2019 - Edelbrock Supercharger setup with M-Cal Fuel Injectors: a cool 233whp/184ftlbs.

This setup is now available for immediate shipment. Near OE looking installation and factory drivability.

Shipping starts today! These are WAY overdue on the NC chassis. The purpose of a harmonic balancer is to combat crankshaft harmonics using a counter-mass of some sort. From the factory Mazda/Ford used a bonded/static outer counter-mass that was tuned both in weight and rubber durometer to combat the specific frequencies produced by a stock 2.0L MZR engine.

You start wrapping RPMS or changing engine hardware and the accuracy starts to quickly decay. You swap to a 2.5L engine and install your old factory 2.0L balancer and all heck breaks loose. You're no longer working with enough mass to combat the aggressive harmonics of the 2.5L motor, and it's likely tuned for the wrong frequency on top of things.

This is where Fluidampr comes into play. It's a dynamic balancer with the counter-mass suspended by fluid. The mass is now free floating and will naturally cover you in an entire rev-range. The other neat component of this "suspended" counter-mass is that the entire weight of they pulley isn't fixed to the crankshaft. This acts somewhat as a "lightweight" crank pulley.

We just wrapped up validation on these last Thursday on our dyno in Michigan with the Fluidampr team. These are now shipping! An optional keyway feature will be added shortly as well.

As far as trigger configurations, the only completed version is the NC MX-5 and Mazda trigger patters, Ford versions will be live as soon as we finish the drawings.

We've been working around the trickery of fueling limitations and finally implemented some pretty neat tricks to keep boost in check. What you see here is the reality of owning this system without supplemental fueling.

The tuning now has literally hundreds of hours in it, including custom patching to allow for more accurate throttling. Once this becomes available to our end users, a massive slew of calibrations will be re-distributed using the exact file that's being used on this car. I suspect this means our ND2 customers will gain somewhere around 25whp with just the update. You know, like Tesla does it.

This car is configured as follows:
ND2 2021 RF
Fab9 M-CAL Fuel Injectors
Stock Fuel Pump
VersaTune Fab9 Beta Calibration
HKS GT2 Supercharger System (Standard Pulley 9/10PSI)
Skunk2 Alpha Series Header
Stock Exhaust
93 Pump Gas
Manual Transmission

In other more recent news, HKS Japan is air freighting us all of our backordered units by the end of the month. Everyone who's been waiting on a kit should be covered in this air shipment. Finally got to a backorder number that lit a fire under their butts.
