Homebrewed MS3-Pro DIY BOB
I picked up an MS3-Pro on Black Friday and am building a short PNP harness rather than cut up the 8’ long generic harness that came with it.
Following are the TE Connectivity part numbers for the connector housings and terminals as well as current pricing from Onlinecomponents.com. - AMPSEAL white 35 position connector housing – part number 776164-2 / $8.12 each - AMPSEAL gray 35 position connector housing – part number 776164-4 / $8.14 each - AMPSEAL tin contact – part number 770854-1 / $0.09 each $23.01 in total for the two connector housings and 75 contacts. Onlinecomponents.com has a $30 minimum order, so I added a 64 pin ECU connector for $11.96 (part number 174518-7). I also found a breakout board for $10 shipped here ecu-64p-connector-bare-pcb. |
That pcb board is awesome!

And DIY charges $60 for this?

Add one of the middle 26(?) pin connectors so that you can add extra stuff like sequential ignition and whatnot.
|
what are you going to do to the pcb? wrap it in electrical tape?
|
Mount it in a suitable enclosure.
|
how are you going to connect to a pc?
|
|
too bad that pcb doesn't have a proto area like the DIYBOB :P

I'd be super down to buy this if I could find a decent enclosure for it, and if I could figure out how i'm going to mount the megasquirt that close to the ECU cable. I wasn't able to find a spot when I originally put it there... ('00)

Haha, I took advantage of BF to buy a MS3pro module, two map sensors and four bip373s. Im mounting it inside the original Mazda ecu case. I thought about getting Franks adapter boards which are awesome but it wouldnt work with my extra uotputs.
Anyhow, havent done much but preliminary mounting of the boards and placement of the bips. Did snap a pic of it though. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1421321513 |

Maybe next time thank companies like DIY for providing all of the R&D, tech support, and forum sponsorship before bad mouthing. Last I checked, online components doesn't help pay for the sandbox you enjoy playing in. |

That's good to know. This is for a '99 I just bought over in Oregon, but have yet to pick up. A Hammond 1455T1601 enclosure looks to be about the same size as the OEM case. This is the concept I am now fiddling with....

this is confusing to me. where would those connectors connect to? the ms3pro? why not put that pro inside that case then and not use the two connectors?

Maybe DIY uses the $.63 each gold pins because we care more about doing this the best way possible instead of the cheap $.09 each tin pins.
