Should I be looking at MS?
 

I just picked up a 95M with an FMII LINK rc550, and the rest. I am looking at moving to an MS ems, but now I am wondering if for my current goals I should just stick with the link and learn it a bit first.

My first goal is to just get the hardware I have performing to its potential I guess. I saw that FM rated this kit at 230-265whp, I am very sure my car is nowhere near that.

It was suggested to me that moving to MS would be a benefit for my goals of 250-300rwhp.

I just thought I should pop in the link section and educate myself a bunch first.

I plan to pick up a cheap laptop to DL data log pro so I can at least get a look at the link as a tuning tool and try to get my head into it before I shun it.


The tune that is on my car now, it "safe" but not the most refined, I see maybe 8psi at WOT. Its low speed is a bit rough, idle is often high and wanders a bit.

Any advice is greatly appreciated, and I will continue to dig and learn around here.


Thanks,


Chris

Short answer: Yes.

Long answer: Yessssssss.

So best to just dive in and spend the time learning MS rather than link... Its really that much better?

Damn it! I had just typed about a half page reply to this and my computer glitched on me.

The TL;DR version was this: If 99% of the members of MiataTURBO.net all use MS, there's probably a damn good reason.

What turbo is on the car, that will be a bigger determiner to how much power you make.

Yea, I have to find the specs, its an FMII LINK, the turbo has garrett a r60 24 on it... still need to dig more.

Yea, the community usage of MS is what pushed me that way. ;)

FYI, I LOVE THIS PLACE.

If the turbo came with the rest of the FM2, it's likely a GT2560. But there should be a serial number plate somewhere you can check to confirm.
