I searched, and even Google-searched this forum, and came up empty...does anyone have photos of how they've mounted their MSPnP pro ECU's in their NB?

Flame away if I missed an obvious one, or if there was one in the FAQ that I skipped


Thanks in advance!

 

Mine is screwed in to the bulkhead behind the passenger seat just like the OEM one

 

Behind the passenger seat? Hmm..

guess they're different lol, anyone got pics of one in an NB?

 

Singular Motorsports Miata ECU Bracket for '99+ for Miata 1999-2005

I went the easy way and used the singular motorsports bracket. Its tight quarters under the drivers dash above the pedals. This bracket bolts into the stock ecu's place. Such a nice product that no one will ever see!

 

What year is your car? I have a nb so mine is mounted using the Singular ecu bracket at the stock location

 

Mine's a 99. I didn't know the Singular bracket was a thing, I reckon I'm going to get myself one of those - that's perfect!

 

I use a harness extension ($150 shipped) to move the ecu to the passenger side airbag location. Spendy, but worth it to not have shove my 6'2" frame into the driver side foot well upside down over my 6 point roll bar.

 

I made the brackets myself same as on the photo below

 

All of these are brilliant, and 100% exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks, guys!!!!!

 

Where did you get the harness extension from? I'm thinking about making one myself if I decide to go th extension route

I priced out what it would cost to make it myself and it just wasn't worth it. It's been a while since I did the math, but if i recall correctly buying it came at a 70 dollar premium (for a 6' extension at least) over building it myself. When I considered that I thought it would take me around 10-20 hours to complete it myself, it just wasn't worth it to DIY.

 

I ordered one of these as I can feel my foot touching the MegaSquirt sometimes when pushing in the clutch. Right now it's just held in place with zip ties.

Can this be installed without disconnecting the harness from the box?

Thanks much,

 

Are you talking about the harness extension? or do you mean the singular and/or diy brackets. The brackets are an easy install, but I think it's best to remove the ecu. It would be very easy to break off the barbed vac fitting trying to maneuver the ECU. For that reason I think it would be best to remove the ecu entirely.

For the harness extension advanced autosports managed to find a female connector that is not easy to find as a DIY. The only female ecu connectors I could really find in stock were the circuit board mounted ones so you would need to be adapt that to function as an inline wired connector or make your own little daughter board (likely the smarter option).

Regarding disconnecting the harness... be careful, it's easy to bork up the factory harness ecu connector. It tends to be a smidge brittle after years of use. There is a technique to using a flat bladed screw driver to pry it out of position without hurting anything.

 

You're right. I forget about the vacuum hose.

Thanks for posting.
