You can adjust it to turn on at a certain throttle % so that doesn't happen. I have mine set to only turn on at 100% throttle input with the clutch pushed in.
@@suicidebunnyz hey buddy I want to do.this to a auto car. But I want to.have a switch for it so It dont 2 step everytime i hit brakes. I want to run it off my brake light switch like how u running it off ur clutch Im a89 foxbody. I need to tap pin 30 at ecu and run it to brake then ground it Help please.
Just found your channel. I'm not a real dedicated car guy but I enjoy seeing what can be done on the aftermarket. Your videos are honest and simple. Earned another SUB.
Go with delrin bushings. Get the oem dimensions of your bushings and send some delrin to a machine shop and sleeve them with aluminum sleeves, worst case.
Gingium, you are the only actual humble car youtuber and you make great, "cheap" builds and you have great taste in cars Thank you for that ^_^ Greetings from Switzerland
My dad used to have a ‘68 Firebird with trans-am spec suspension set up with advice from a former factory race engineer. He asked him about metal bushings and he said they’re a real pain on street cars. You need to make sure all your clearances are dead nuts perfect or you’re essentially going to have solid suspension.
Hey Gingium, I did the AWR Motor Mounts today along with Delrin Diff bushings and let me say I 100% recommend the both of them combined. The only problem with the AWR Motor mounts is that you definitely want a heads up. The NVH will be strong as fuh at idle for the first 500 miles. It supposedly mellows out. But as for the performance, I haven't missed a shift yet. It's solid as all hell now! And it rev matches way easier, along with blipping the throttle, it all performs a hundred percent better than before. And I even previously had the 40% stiffer competition rubber motor mounts, and they honestly only lasted about 200 miles for me before they got bad. So I'd recommend the AWR Poly motor mounts for you from Fab9tuning. As well as the Delrin diff bushings. Don't get any other look-alikes from other manufactures, they are even harsher I've heard but don't perform anywhere near as good sadly. And as a side note, please let us know if you find a nice (hopefully affordable) solution for upgraded suspension bushings. I'm looking for that right now as well!
Delrin diff bushings helped my miatas wheel hop soooo much! Its pretty much gone now. And as you mentioned engine mounts help a lot as well. I had bad wheel hop and did those two things only and its gone!
Solid suspension bushings aren't really a thing. If you want something like that, your best bet would be heim joints. These are extremely expensive for a small performance gain and you would need custom control arms to run something like that. You'll see them a lot on wise fab setups and racecars in general. Poly bushings or new rubber bushings are definitely your best bet. Energy makes good bushings for a decent price. I use them on my Legacy GT and they squeak just a bit.
Its so funny you made this because my 95 was doing the exact same thing as your car. The only that worked is when I set it to just launch control. But now someone solved my problem lol. I thought of adding a switch but never got around to it.
I seriously feel that wheel hop man. my stock NB suffers from it too, so im always scared to spin the wheels in a straight line even in the rain, cause the suspension just goes mad. I havent found any solutions online either besides like "just get better suspension" yeah no shit what do you mean better suspension... even with all your chassis and suspension mods its still there, and solid bushings are not the greatest option for a half daily.
Caleb, you should talk to Matt Carriker from OffTheRanch/DemolitionRanch/VetRanch. He owns Bunker Branding Co. and would more than likely help you out with merchandise like shirts and hoodies
Pro-tip - The powerplant frame (PPF) found in Miatas and some other cars like the RX7 causes a majority of your wheelhop. You can delete it, but you need to get or make diff and trans mounts.
most people shop around and spend quite a bit of time buying a new vehicle that has everything, or almost everything that they want, and then there are the people who get a good looking vehicle and add what they want to it. i recently picked up a 1984 dodge pickup in great shape for next to nothing, and now im slowly saving money to make it into a capable off road machine, but eventually i might turn it into an overland rig
Can you make an entire video on the question of whether a Miata is a good first car? Like pros&cons, mpg, safety, insurance (16-20 year old guys), and whether a hardtop is a good option. Thanks! Love the channel and Molly is my dream car lol
That cruise control switch is really just a two buttons. 6 wires (signal and ground for each button and the indicator light). I belive the Ecu can probably be programmed to switch launch control on and off with a button press, but you are right it couldn't be done the way you wanted to, atleast easily.
Cruise control switch + relay would work .. keep in mind that the cruise control switch always resets to off after shutting the car off ..anyways, this also seems to be a good solution ..
I'm currently trying to wire launch control with a rocker switch without using the clutch switch. Do I route power into the Megasquirt's "launch" pin or route the pin to ground????
My 94 on MS2 has Launch Control and flat foot shifting. I've played with it but I dont like the fact that when I heel toe for corners it engages flat foot shifting....
I respect the fact that the only thing you’re advertising for in your video is education. Getting real tired of everyone telling me to download raid shadow legends
Videos are always great but only thing I'd say to make them better is get something to stabilize the camera from shaking while filming in the car. Otherwise doing awesome and keep up the good work. #BRAP
I think I found why, I got the fm variable tps and I think that you need to reach higher value that the one you use to decide at witch % you want it to be on.
Im trying to do the same thing to my car but i am too retarded somone plz help. 2 wires on my clutch switch 3 spots on my toggle and one wire from the ecu. what goes where?? ]
0:42 just imagine Caleb, in the middle of a uphill stop ligth regulating throttle and clutch when Suddenly 2step engages *_BRAAAAAPAPAPAPPAPAPPA_*

Hey gingium! Watching this right before a lab class with my gf, she loves your adventure bus series. I love the channel keep it up!
Damn that sounds awesome

Thank you for that ^_^

"Smoke some mustangs" Nice one :D
Because the miata starts smoking and the mustang it gone
JK😂🤣
I just wanted to make this comment👌
:D

Love the Turbo Miata and glad got to see it! I should send the picture of my car next to it to be featured :)
I Love your videos!! IM so happy u got a sponsor for this One!
Gingium, I’m triggered and I want to meet up for a race.
10 MIN squad!!! big up for ur vids Gingium! keep up the good work! ma fav youtuber!
When you're so early, you sit here refreshing "retry" because the video is still private
@Automobile Cleaning hence the name
Automobile Cleaning he’s kinda annoying now 😕
@Automobile Cleaning I'm a huge car guy and love interacting with the community
@@umerafzal482 sorry you feel that way bro. Go outside and hit some 2 step you'll be aight

Another cool video! Inspiring me to keep playing around with my NA, not yet bit the bullet on the turbo :(

I agree when you say most satisfying with ever, I have an me and the cruise switch is so satisfying people ask if they can press it
Gingium matching his hoodie to the seatbelt harness is classic. Good job with the rocker switch!
Great job fella beat me too it just finished editing the exact same video for my MX5😂😂🔥

I use the same ecu in my mr2 and i have the fun switch and it is so convenient.
I love launch control so much! Even better with a high revving engine tho 😋
Yay. More Miata vids to add to the millions posted.

I need to do this on mine too, I have my launch control on all the time
Get polly bushings drill them for zerk fitting so you can grease them easily
Yo ging how did you wire that up to the ecu? If you could show me that would be great! Thanks

i was literally trying to figure this out yesterday. i just turned on the launch control
Congrats to 333k subs! :)
Try welding bars from the frame of the car to the subframe to eliminate wheel hop
these beats in your video are getting so damn good
you can switch the caps for cruise control to the blank cap
Molly is almost a resto modded car. That's amazing what you've done with one small, happy miata. :)
No such thing as a restomod
Oof. Time for some new rear suspension and diff bushings. That was some crazy wheel hop.
If you suffer with rubber bushings, try to machine out an aluminium bushings with simple lathe. I used them on rallye Skoda. :-)
Dang! I forgot Molly is 29! She doesn't even look that old! Caleb, you outdid yourself with this Miata!
It's an '89??
Isn't Molly 28 years? She's a 1990 model, isn't she?
That cruise control switch is really just a two buttons. 6 wires (signal and ground for each button and the indicator light). I belive the Ecu can probably be programmed to switch launch control on and off with a button press, but you are right it couldn't be done the way you wanted to, atleast easily.
You should try Powerflex Black series bushings for the car. Very stiff grade urethane.
Did you check out Greg's bushing video? He adresses the poly bushing issues which may make them a good option for you.
My motor mounts are old and shot so I think im just gonna get some 80% poly and just retro fit some on.
BRUH!!!! Kermit the frog here! Just getting his two step on. lol Cool video! Couldn't take you serious though.
Launch control looks so crazy!
Very topics are awesome man
I would like to see a new video of the Miata on the track now. :)
You could have used a pcb for the cruise control switch to work
You’re awesome, keep it up
Go solid subframe bushing and just keep looking
What’s the 0-60 time with the launch control
This is easily the best Miata Ive seen XD
@gingium you should run accetyl bushings. Idk if thats how you spell it tbh but its all of the stiff of paly and none of the drawbacks.
Congrats on the sponser
Have you got a video on what ecu and software you use to edit with please?
Do you have VSS wired into the ms? I think that would automatically turn off launch control once you start moving.
That is really usefull!
Cruise control switch + relay would work .. keep in mind that the cruise control switch always resets to off after shutting the car off ..anyways, this also seems to be a good solution ..
This. Is. Awesome.
What are your setting for your launch control on tunner studio?
HEY you should’ve said stock mustangs lmao but that little Miata flies
So do you have to flip the switch everytime to start the car? Or does megasquirt allow you to start the car without pushing in the clutch?
I'm currently trying to wire launch control with a rocker switch without using the clutch switch. Do I route power into the Megasquirt's "launch" pin or route the pin to ground????
Keep it up bro
Hey you should get a bonnet/hood scoop for molly
My 94 on MS2 has Launch Control and flat foot shifting.
I've played with it but I dont like the fact that when I heel toe for corners it engages flat foot shifting....
Yo gingium, what's that seat like on a daily basis?
Considering swapping out the seat, but my NA is my daily. Would appreciate your thoughts
Cinematic the word is cinematic
damn gingium and Greg from Thecarpassion channel love smoking mustangs in their miatas
Gingium can't you set conditions for the flatshifting so you wouldn't need an arming switch?
U hard me laughing hard when u said smoke some mustangs lol 😂😂😂
Gingium, you should make a list of all current mods on your Miata’s and put it in the description
are there any bus videos coming soon?
My dream car is not a lamb, it’s not a Ferrari, it’s to have a Miata just like yours man. Keep up the awesome work 👏🏽👏🏽💯
I respect the fact that the only thing you’re advertising for in your video is education. Getting real tired of everyone telling me to download raid shadow legends

SICK!
If you are looking for spherical bushings, go check out Keisler Automation.
Hey man I have an NA and I'm wondering where you found this switch!!
Hey gingium the rear end Miata is light do a sub and amplifier video and the extra pounds will keep it grounded.
They have plastic pry tools for removing interior parts so you don’t scratch them with a screwdriver
5:15 *"PERFECT"*
What's the music called
1:24 a bunch of awesome really subjects😂😂
That is why you set it up so that it only activates at like 80% tps
8:48 when the vtec kicks in. :D
What does flat foot shifting and launch control actually do?
How about the flat-foot shift? Is it still there?
brap brap stututu its gingium!!
1:11 he probably talking about stock foxbodys with that slow ass Miata 😂💀
Ever heard of power:weight ratio
225hp in a 2000lbs car is fast
Can it be set up to be on only when you are in 1st gear
Do the showcase cars gotta be nice? Cause I drive a beater but would love to send it in anyway.
My launch control makes my car die as well, not sure why
I think I found why, I got the fm variable tps and I think that you need to reach higher value that the one you use to decide at witch % you want it to be on.
It should only be on when (near) full throttle.
but i don't like how the rpm gauge dies when he cuts ignition on the clutch switch at 3500 rpm.
Im trying to do the same thing to my car but i am too retarded somone plz help. 2 wires on my clutch switch 3 spots on my toggle and one wire from the ecu. what goes where?? ]
Is it possible to make custom sway bars?
love the vids
i built a wide body miata on fh4 and its so badass 😍💥
zach taylor it’s good as a drift car in fh4
Yoo Gingium, you can ask matt about his miata's suspension setup
what kind of wheels do you have on the yata??
Man you are so cool!!
