Add the expander board and we have 6 general purpose PWM outputs for cool stuff including planned VVT control.
We had the VVT box (standalone closed loop controller) on the dyno friday before last, and it did awesome. So long as everything continues to move as positively as possible, I don't think it will be too much longer before the code makes it to MS3.
The expander hardware was revised based on feedback and is hopefully going through its last round of testing before being released. The expander is projected to be right around the $100 mark.

expander + ms3 + updated code = VVT control? Or is the standalone box still req'd. I'd think a PWM PID output would be sufficient as long as you can tell it what the inputs are.

Check
The standalone box is a separate product that will give VVT capability to practically any platform. I really can't release any details, but it's a very clever critter.

I wish I could give you a solid answer, but I really don't know.

As in you're looking for a fully assembled unit? Should be added to the site very soon--but of course it would take a few mods for the miata. Send me an email if you want a quote on a custom built MS3 ECU. websales@diyautotune.com

(Particularly since I'm using the 5 connector version so we can run it on certain Toyotas, too.) We'll probably want to have some other supporting mod kits out first though.

At this point I'm also not 100% sure we'd end up using his exact code, or just end up making it work the same/similarly. Depends on licensing and other considerations.
Either way some form of continuous VVT control will make it in.

Let me know if there's any data I can send you from the dyno session. Jerry intentionally ran through transients on the rollers so we could capture what you asked for.
