ohh and an rx7 maf with no filter on it..
i had a u pipe on it before but it was restricting the spool up too much...

nice cept for the BOV and FMIC we have alot of the same stuff. you dynoed it ever?

havent put it on a dyno yet...
was waiting until i got a standalone...
now i have to wait until i get the motor rebuilt and order the aem ems

I'm running the pnp AEM EMS and I couldn't be happier!!! =) It makes tuning somewhat easy with the automapping. It is a complicated ecu but all the better for tunning. If my neighbor took a S--t and there's methanol in the air I'm sure I can account for it somehow. lol

so what's so bad about link? If it will pull time, use a map, eliminate the MAF, datalog, and read a wideband, what else do we need?

Real time tuning? Sucked datalogging, making changes, uploading changes, redatalogging, etc.

what about haltech? lots of guys (non miatas) here in socal run them with great success.

If you can get haltech to work, its great. Good luck though.

from what I understand using haltech with factory coils is a pita

Overall, it's a great little ECU. I can tell you many of the pitfalls, and as someone noted the factory coils have to go. The Haltech is pretty easy to tune and runs well enough.

I used to be a Haltech dealer, many good installation write-ups exist on the net, some of which were inspired by my method of installing them in parallel with the stock ECU on the Miata.
