Wish me luck!
OK I have been decent with mechanics, but more the bonehead wrenching stuff rather than engines (brakes, exhaust, repairs). I have been spending the last year or two getting to know the Miata pretty well, and took the plunge with a turbo install project. I bought used stuff based on a Begi-S with a FM intercooler added. With advice from Reverent and Braineack I should have what I need.
Dimitris was kind enough to create a MS2v3 for me, which I have plugged in, and I have put in RX-7 460cc injectors. I have other things on deck, ready to go in. I had a little trouble getting the stock precat O2 sensor to budge so my thought is to leave that in for now, and put in the LC1 with the new downpipe.
I downloaded Megatune and have the laptop poised and ready to turn it on. The coil is disconnected and I guess I am ready to talk to the megasquirt. Wish me luck!

Argh! Foiled before I began! Thanks for the tip, I didn't see that, but I had been reading about Tuner Studio and its excellent reviews. OK, back to the drawing board. Hopefully this will not be a comedy of errors.

I'm not sure what I am missing now. I installed tunerstudio, set the parameters for the 460cc injectors, told it that it was narrowband, 1839cc displacement, etc. etc. The car does not start up when cranking though. The gauge panel in the TS interface does not show anything for the air/fuel ratio. Is that because I have not yet installed the wideband? Or is it going to be like this with the narrowband in place? Or is it something else entirely and I have missed a key step?
So far I have not yet attached DB15 plug to anything.

Yes I have rpm, its like 240 or so. I understand the issue about the DB-15 wideband signal, but I have not put that monitor in yet, and the wire is not hooked up to anything so far. Is that the problem?

That file is completely empty. When online in TunerStudio, click Start datalogging, name the file, and then start your attempts to start the car. Give it a few tries, then click stop datalogging and post the file here.
The file opens with MegaLogViewer.

Yoy had effectively disabled sequential inejction by turning "bank 2 specific settings" to "off" and in sequential settings from "additional drivers" to "standard drivers".
Try the attached msq.

Thanks. Actually I had just done that yesterday afternoon after mucking around unsuccessfully trying different things. I will try this set-up. If it doesn't work, I will reconnect the old ECU to see if it runs then; maybe I inadvertantly created a mechanical problem.
