An EGR experiment is in the works. Some minor issues need to be resolved. The Festiva engine doesn't have an actual EGR and I think it used virtual EGR that was based on camshaft timing.

Both the Miata and the dyno are equipped with roller a cam from a EGR equipped Ford Aspire but do not have EGR manifolds. At this point I'm not 100% sure the Aspire EGR equipped intake manifold will fit under the hood of the Miata.

Anyway, I'll get this sorted out one way or another and EGR will get tested.
