cool logo?


not much else i can discuss without more details.

soloracer 12-07-2011 05:06 PM

I just saw this on Facebook - posted by DIY Autotune. I figured you cats in the know might have some deets. :-) Guess not. I haven't been on here a lot lately so I didn't want to assume this was a surprise.

So anyone know anything? I'm just curious. Don't imagine there's any compelling reason to go with this over just updating my MS1.

Braineack 12-07-2011 07:41 PM

apparently it's a ms2. on a brand new mainboard.

has built in det can with a headphone jack, knock conditioner, can drive low-ohm injectors, some other shit i already forgot what ben just told me.

spikes 12-07-2011 09:27 PM

what are the differences between this and the DIYPNP apart from being fully assembled and the price tag?

The case sure is snazzy.

BenR 12-07-2011 11:48 PM

Would be nice if they had bluetooth connectivity.

thirdgen 12-08-2011 01:00 AM

Strictly a 90-97 item? I hope not...99-00 do want!
If this runs a '99 true PNP with all stock sensors and '99 alternator...I'm buyin one.

And other extra things like I mentioned above, but it's going to be more or less the same. It's a setup for those who don't want to/can't build their own unit. It's still based around the same firmware/software, they just made it in a fully PNP solution. Just like the MSPNP and the MS1.

While I didn't ask, I'd see no reason they wont release this for 90-05. We arleady have DIYPNPs running those years.

hustler 12-08-2011 09:34 AM

Very cool. I guess that 1st gen MSpnp9093 in my green car is now effectively a paper-weight when it comes time to replacement. Where are the details on the DIYAutotune exchange plan?

spikes 12-08-2011 03:31 PM

Response from my question on the DIYAutoTune facebook page


Onboard Peak-n-Hold drivers allow you to run any injectors you'd like, hi-z or low-z.

Improved Knock Circuit that is tuned for the knock frequency of the engine and eliminates noise based on RPM.

Det Can output allows you to plug in headphones to the knock circuit and listen for knock while you tune!

CanBUS is brought out to the spare connector allowing easy addition of external can devices.

Base maps will come ready to fire the car up easily and fine tune. (this is available for some DIYPNP applications, but not for the majority of them)

We are beginning work to build a larger network of tuners that are familiar with and tuning MSPNP Gen2's as well. When we put these in their hands and they see how easily they install and are tuned, and how the results are as good or better than what they've been using, they'll become very familiar with TunerStudio and MSPNP, and that will be a good thing for all of you. We started putting an emphasis on this at PRI, and have further plans to grow and expand this shortly after the release of the first models.

They'll have a warranty since we built and tested them here. Kits are only warrantied against DOA components, not the assembled final product since we didn't do it/test it here.

That's what I see right off the top. I probably missed something....

miatauser884 12-08-2011 03:40 PM



How much are they running?

hustler 12-08-2011 03:40 PM

Can I be in that network of tuners?

We looked into offering this as an extra cost option. It got as far as a working prototype. Turned out to be cheaper to use an off the shelf Bluetooth dongle, and the internal Bluetooth design wasn't any easier to use.

The first Miata MSPNPs out the door will be for '90-'93 and '94-'95, but we plan to offer NB versions in the future. One of the reasons for the Gen 2 design was that the Gen 1 design wasn't flexible enough to make a NB Miata MSPNP.

The first MSPNP's were MS-1 based, correct? I can't remember the reasoning, but the MS1 won't work with the NB crank trigger, only MS2+ will. I'm very anxious for this for the NB...I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that.
Need a test dummy?

Braineack 12-12-2011 11:30 AM

correct. and they already have access the NBs in the shop. The only thing that would be holding them back is the alternator control circuit they'd have to build in...otherwise running the NB is nothing new to them. Like I said, we already have MS2 running 90-05.

Why are you guys using MS2 and not MS3?

If I want to run sequential fuel, an NB crank sensor w/ modded CAS for the CMP should I look at the MSpnp2 or MS3?

How much and how soon could you do one for my 1991? (PM me if you want)

I feel like I should "grow up" and put a better computer in my turbo car, its keeping me up at night.

With the Trackspeed 12 tooth crank trigger wheel?

Both can fulfil your requirements.

Sure, I have both. There was a lot of talk on using the TSE wheel, but no one ever came up with the settings and I can not figure it out.

richyvrlimited 12-20-2011 08:00 AM

AFAIK you can't use the OEM NB crank trigger and a modified NA CAS, so you'd have to use the 12 tooth trigger from trackspeed.

Lop one of the teeth off then follow these instructions.

http://www.msextra.com/doc/ms2extra/...Miss_Tooth.htm

You can add the cam sensor into the mix once it's running off the crank trigger very quickly and simply (i.e. turn it on).

Both can do it. What head do you have? why cant you use an NB cam sensor as well?

Yep people don't want to spend an extra $250 for a MSPNP3.

He also cut off the front of his VC so he can't hook a cam sensor up.

Braineack 12-20-2011 08:49 AM

well that was silly.

The valve cover was cracked from the crash that put it in the salvage yard, into my garage. Also, pulling the valve cover to change a timing belt is a huge pain in the ass. Unfortunately I have fancy stuff welded to the valve cover so I don't want to change it.

99 head.

The MSpnp2 is also more attractive to me because the case will probably fit in the factory location, rather than trying to move the computer behind the seat.

Braineack 12-20-2011 09:00 AM

My ms3 fits in stock location (under passenger feet).

The DIYPNP2 is probably best for you because you are full retard :)

Matt Cramer 12-20-2011 09:04 AM

Both cost and development time. The current MS3 design isn't really suitable for a PNP form factor, so we'd have had to create a new MS3 variant. The MicroSquirt module was ready to go, and we could apply many of the lessons from the DIYPNP.


If I want to run sequential fuel, an NB crank sensor w/ modded CAS for the CMP should I look at the MSpnp2 or MS3?
If the CAS is sending an NB-like signal, either the MSPNP2 or the MS3 will be able to run things sequentially. The MS3 has some more advanced capabilities like gear specific boost control, but less convenient installation. It depends on whether you want more hardcore features or easier setup.

Assuming it's got stock 1991 wiring, the Gen 2 MSPNP will be out in a couple weeks, and around $800.

hustler 12-20-2011 09:08 AM

Thanks. MS3 sounds great, but I don't think I'm going to use any of the fancy stuff over MS2 stuff. I have stock MS3 wiring with two spare wires hanging out for sequential fuel, when that time comes.

All I really want to change is the CKP set-up, sequential fuel, and maybe sequential spark if I switch to LSx coils. Does this mean I need to get over it and learn to build my own?

Braineack 12-20-2011 09:41 AM

Learning MS stuff is like masterbating your brain and ejaculating awesomeness.

It sure beats the cheese-grader and tourniquet I'm using currently. I have 5 weeks to figure it out before the first NASATX/TXMC weekend.

If it's wired for MS3, you can do this with an off the shelf MS3.

Stock Miata wiring, the MSPNP Gen 2 can do this except for sequential spark. Doesn't have enough I/O to run that, fans, and boost at the same time.

I have the same feeling... 800 bucks is a good handful of money though.

???

I've got my MSPNP9093 in the factory location. Even with all the relays and other garbage I mounted to it, it fits fine. Bolted to the floor with wellnuts.

18psi 12-29-2011 01:37 PM

This is freaken awesome.
Adaptronic better lower their prices for the 440 or they will sell jack shit next year.
800 is a bit steep compared to a diypnp but I can see these things selling like hotcakes once you guys make em for NB+

90 Turbo 01-08-2012 06:53 PM

I would love to hear from the master matt what the difference are between this and diypnp I am about to buy. Will either one do boost control based on speed or is that a ms3 thing only.

gslender 01-08-2012 08:40 PM

Matt,

If you get the MS2/Extra guys to adopt my firmware mods into the base release you could perhaps wire up AC Idle Up and Clutch PID Lockout Mods to improve the OEM stability for idle too... if you send me a sample device I'd be happy to test the firmware :P

ms3 only thing.

Functionally they will be the same; the MSPNP2 will obviously more expensive as it's a pnp and has all the extras built in as discussed. the DIYPNP will be cheaper as you have to assemble it yourself and some custom circuitry/componets must be added if you want it to perform the like mspnp2 out of the box.

So, it's more like, do you want to spend less and build it yourself, or do you want ot spend more and install it right away?

NiklasFalk 01-09-2012 09:24 AM

What's the predicted usefulness of the knock sensing setup in the MSPNP2?
I'd really like to add some knocksensing awsomeness when I get my 11+:1 VVT engine back into the car (I need every safety measure I can think of, I don't trust myself as a tuner/user).

I still have some space in the DIYPNP box so a copy of the circuit would fit I guess.

Braineack 01-09-2012 09:28 AM

if you can get a schematic for it...

NiklasFalk 01-09-2012 10:01 AM

True, but if it's useful (and maybe even present useful results with the 99+ OEM sensor) a separate board could maybe be envisioned?

If it works, I don't have a problem with a decently priced kit. I would however prefer a kit for internal use, but a separate box would be ok too.

90 Turbo 01-09-2012 11:37 AM

What compontents need to be added to the diypnp to make it as funtional as the mspnp2 other than the more complete knock sensor?
I saw the Low imp injectors will work anything else I should consider before pulling the trigger today on a diypnp?

Braineack 01-09-2012 11:55 AM

without knowing what the MSPNP2 actually has, for a 90-93, nothing.

Thank you, but we have implemented this with hardware already. The code mod would probably take some changes to the hardware as well.

Hard to give an absolute number, but our goal was to create something better than the MS1/Extra circuit (pretty sure we've hit that goal) and KnockSenseMS (quite likely), but didn't have the resources to make anything in the same league as the J&S Safeguard or some of the things being tested for MS3.
