Brackets are just brackets. There's 3 sets in existence. It's not pnp

I made my own for my setup, but I believe FM sells wires for GM coils on a miata engine. On my setup the boots I ordered were smaller than advertised, and made assembly a HUGE pain in the butt. Otherwise they work fine. If someone sells a solution, I'd buy them. I've made wires for my miata twice now and each time was expensive and sucked.

FM sells wires for using the LS3 coils on a Miata using their bracket. Since it mounts to the back of the head where the stock coils go, those wires may or may not be long enough if you mount the coils somewhere else.

For which harness? 99 or MSM?

You can use the megasquirt test mode to turn on individual coil and injector outputs and check them with a scope.

<p>99. I'm making the harness right now. I'm just going to continuity test, but a diagram would help. All I can find is broken links.</p>

Thank you!!!
<br />Injector harness is done. Going over again tomorrow to get ignition harness done.
<br />Wires are run for seq spark, boost, VVT.
<br />Curly do we have a VVT pigtail?
<br />Also am I right in remembering that the 99/00. CAS is on the front of the engine and the VVT is on the back? So I need to extend those wires too?

They were already extended, until we unwrapped them cause we thought it might be our short.

The vvt head is finiky with wires. Ideally it needs to be drilled out to 90-00 dimensiones, by a machinist, not you guys. I tried, but my bit walked. But it can work without doing all that. I made 350 hp with NA ngk wires and a vvt valve cover

OK good. So run spark wires from the ecu, and Wire it up from the injector harness.
<br />What about the VVT actuator pigtail?

Ben and Aidan came out tonight and worked on wiring while I finished intercooler plumbing. Super huge help guys. Hoping for first fire tomorrow says Aidan.
<br />
<br />Got the passenger side NB2 door card fitted what a PITA. Driver side next, my dad is likely going to do that while I'm at work tomorrow.
<br />
<br />Reinstalled the Xidas. List to finish:
<br />
<br />-finish ignition wiring stuffs
<br />-wideband, MS mount, oil pressure and coolant temo gauge and senders.
<br />-brake ducts
<br />-install rear end links and re-bleed brakes
<br />-dash, seats, front glass. Going without radio stuffs for now I think.
<br />-vent windows. Not looking forward to this.
<br />-tune
<br />-Alignment
<br />
<br />... I think that's it.
