Flyin’ Miata Relies on iDash

Normally when you hear or see the name Banks the first thing that comes to mind is diesel performance. But as Brandon Fitch of Flyin’ Miata puts it, “Banks are very, very smart people that know a lot of things about how engines run and how to make things better, and how to do things the right way.”

In a fantastic example of just how useful and versatile the iDash is, Flyin’ Miata plans to fully instrument their test vehicle for their upcoming NC (2006-2015) turbo kit for the Miata’s naturally-aspirated engine.

The engine and prototype emissions-compliant turbo kit will be instrumented with an iDash DataMonster along with an AirMouse ambient weather station, pressure, and temp sensors. In addition to the new external sensors, the iDash will display and record all available data broadcast by the Miata’s ECM over OBD-II. The data will assist in assuring the turbo and intercooler systems run and are tuned optimally.  Brandon and his team will know just how effective the turbo and intercooler are at increasing air density. For Flyin’ Miata, Banks equipment isn’t something just for diesel pickups, it’s an invaluable tool for product development, diesel or gas.
