Just finished installing MS2pnp, started and idles fine on base tune, waiting for better weather before doing some cautious road tuning and a dyno date.

'94 w/'97 block
BP4W head, shaved 0.30", mild porting w/ VICS intake, NA, compression ~9.75:1
exhintake cam swap w/drilled stock cam gear.
Randall CAI
RB header and RoadsterSport catback
Innovate LC-2 wideband and MAF delete.

I did all the engine mods (including the BP4W head swap) over the winter and am eager to get it tuned and driving... hoping to get in the 140whp range.

NA6 B6 motor
MS2PnP
272 cams 10mm lift @advertised
10.5 CR
Port matched & polished
2.25 exhaust
Genie 4-2-1 Header
Enlarged Ram style CAI

installed MS in about Feb.
currently running on Flex fuel because it makes me feel warm & fuzzy on the inside. (3rd tank load & doing my part in reducing reliance on Fossil fuels) but we all know Flex fuel runs cooler LOL.
about to change the fuel line to Teflon based and will be changing the Fuel filter 2nd time.
Looks like the injectors will also need changing. running at 89% Duty in the upper parts of RPM & Map tables.
Intend to also install a flex fuel sensor soonish.
Thinking about vTPS but running quite well on MAPdot currently....its a lesser priority cause its seems to be working well at this moment.

Ive had journeys into Stand alone ECU's before with disastrous results. MS is such a user friendly option. I'm over the moon with the result currently.

MS2pnp with LC-2 wideband and GM IAT.
'94 Chassis, '97 block w/BP4W head shaved 0.30", VICS intake, exhintake cam swap, RB header, RoadsterSport catback exhaust, Randall CAI.

Installed a few weeks ago. Install went smoothly, started up and runs in the garage without issue, waiting for some dry days to take it out for some self-tuning, then a dyno date. Hoping for ~140 whp.

Just installed my MS3 from Trackspeed this past weekend. Base map idles great in closed loop, and I started to tune the fuel VE table and warm up enrichment in VEAL. Info below:

2004 MSM, MS3, GM IAT, ebay FMIC, FM full intake, FM boost gauge, Innovate Wideband, EFI Bluetooth Adapter

Noticed two little issues so far:
  1. No speed reading in Shadowdash, and I want to use it as my digital gauges. Need to check if I can get a speed reading in TunerStudio.
  2. Launch control is not working properly. It does not hold the RPM at a stand still, but instead it holds the RPM when the car is moving and I'm changing gears.
Any feedback on these two issues would be appreciated.

Thanks

2004 stock nb2

MSlabs ms3 basic, innovative mtx-l, gm iat.

Car runs! Working on the following issues

-slow cold start, adjusting cranking pulse width. I’m seeing an improvement, is it unreasonably to expect factory like starts?
-seeing a variance from mtx-l AFR and tunerstudio, reading and learning...

It is not unreasonable to expect factory like starts. See my tune here. First step is to tune idle. Next, tune the warm up curve (WUE) using the wizard. I like to set a fixed idle speed of about 2000 RPM for this, rather than true idle. Then get car to start via adjusting cranking pulse, though it might crank for a few seconds before starting. Next, keep it running correctly using ASE parameters. Then set up priming pulse on approximately 300mS delay. Increase it as needed until car starts in 1 second after key goes from Off to Start. Realize that a lot of this cannot happen until winter time. But you can set 70* up to full running temp. Then look for threads about hot restart taming.

To fix AFR offset, go to tools, calibrate AFR and enter these values: 0 = 7.2 5 = 22.2. That should correct the ground offset. If it does not, make sure your grounds are solid at intake manifold. If real close, but not exact, tweak the values: usually adding or subtracting the same amount from the 7.2 and 22.2

EDIT: Probably this is not the best thread in which to ask and answer questions. @Joe Perez , feel free to delete.

MS3pro
1991 with 1995 block and head. Weisco pistons (9.9:1), K1 rods, Arp studs full rebuild and balance.
Mk full kit (3" exhaust, .50ar ebay turbo, innovate wideband o2, GM IAT, EBC), supermiata reroute, supermiata organic clutch, EWG welded to the turbo housing.
260hp/250tq at 16 psi to the wheels. Boost comes on around 3250rpm.

Got it dyno tuned by Curly and its a very smooth tune, feels stock besides almost triple the horse power.

MS1, MS2Extra, MS3x on 10+ cars. I assemble and install MS3x ecu's on the side and worked at EfiAnalytics for 2 years.

Miata specific experience:
  • Full sequential/COP on MS2extra
  • Toyota COP and then later D585 coils
  • 36-1 OEM crank trigger on 99-05 CAS
Next steps:
  • Learn how to tune VVT and Traction control
  • R&D - add basic cruize control to MS3 code using vss + a large IAC + and set, acc and brake(cancell) inputs
I am in the Columbia SC area. PM me if you guys need a MS3x ECU or Megasquirt support!

MS2Pnp and MS3proPnp, I have a no start issue currently... My I love the versatility of MS and have tuned a few cars from Lemons Miatas, to a 1000hp turbo LS and even a 600hp Starion.

MS2 was great until it pooped itself (bad MAP sensor/ground issue), and now my own MS3 won't let me start the car.
