Hey guys,
I may be the owner of another 2000 NB1 shortly. I was wondering: Is it possible to use the 01-05 MSPNP-Pro in this?
Will the wiring harness plug right in, or will there be an incompatibility with the plugs?

 

way different

 

nope.

 

Dang, had a feeling it wouldn't. But hoped I could somehow get it to work with "this one weird trick".

Thanks guys!

 

Are you trying to use a 01-05 MSPNP Pro that you already have, or are you trying to run a VVT motor later? I believe that the 99-00 MSPNP Pro can also control the VVT, if that is what you are looking for.

 

he's likely trying to snag that one in the classifieds for a killer deal to use on his car

 

Not one weird trick, but I imagine with enough free time and the right connectors you could build a conversion harness or something that would work. Nb1 female to nb2 male. Although I guess if op was confident enough to do that he might just build an ms3

 

HHammerly as a NB1 MS3 basic for sale. Is practically new. PM him

 

A boomslang conversion harness could be made. It would be a semi pita to build. But the documentation for wirng and all the connectors are out there.

 

Yep, that was it exactly.

 

I've been thinking of doing a self-build, but even with having owned a Rev MS2 in my previous car, and reading this 100x over: https://www.miataturbo.net/megasquir...wcomers-81522/
I still don't fully understand why you'd want an MS3 over the DIYPnP kit? That explanation makes it sound like the DIYPnP is superior to the MS3 in any/all iterations?

 

DIYPNP = MS2 (Microsquirt) = old firmware, no development, much less features
MS3 = awesome and worth it

 

You'd have to use a 2001-2005 harness with the '01-'05 MSPNP. The plugs literally don't even fit together.
