Anyone running a BEGi turbo w/ MS here?
 
I have been thinking of the BEGi kit, wondering if anyone has run one with the MS yet?

There wouldn't be anything special about a BEgi kit and MS... It's the year of the miata that changes things.

Anyway, my setup is similar to a begi.

I see. I have been seeing some posts from Keith @ FM on the other board stating how important it is to use a computer that has been carefully matched to the kit, I guess I am looking for advice when ordering from BEGi, should I get no fuel system and use MS for lots less $$, or get the XEDE, which should be plug and play and optimized, but more $$.

Or I could use the BEGi rising regulator setup, but I am giving up 20+ HP that way...

The car is a 91 1.6, it has AC and PS, but I don't care about either.

I don't know why someone would say you need to match an ECU with a setup... it's the ECU calibration that matters.

I think that's the best way to do it, if you don't want to build your own kit. (Very understandable.)

Begi kit with no fuel system + PnP 550cc RX7 injectors and a PnP MS harness from kingofl337, hell he'd probably do your board mods as well.

As painless and powerful as a full begi XEDE setup for MUCH less.

From a technical support standpoint it might be important to some folks to buy the ECU that was designed with the kit/sold by that vendor....otherwise, they won't be able to really help you.

Dude, the same Megasquirt that someone runs on their Ford Mustang will work on a turbo Miata, using a few different sensors and different tuning, of course, so there's no way merely a different intercooler or downpipe or manifold is going to cause an MS to work on one turbo Miata and not another.

:nuts: If your talking about predetermined maps, then yes. But you'll probably want to go in an tweak it from defaults anyways.

That is quite interesting, as I only live about 50 miles away from kingofl337, I have talked with him before about 'helping' w/ a MS.

Any idea where is a good place to source RX7 injectors? (BTW... what is PnP?)

PnP = Plug and Play
