Default Rate my MS2 build and my ABOMINATION of a harness

Hi guys its me Nicole again. I still haven't been able to get my car running with my MS2 build. I bought a used stock ECU and got my car back up and running just in time for the warmer weather we've been having here in NJ these past few days. I didn't fry my ignition coils so I apparently did Reverant's spark output mod the right way. I included pictures of my MS front and back and my scary looking harness. I hacked the connector out of my original stock ecu to try to save money... Lesson learned. I triple checked the continuity of all the pins on the harness though so there is 99.9% chance of no shorts.

What I would like to know is if I got my input output wires on the board going to the right places? I've got the left side hole of R28 going to IGN and the left side hole of R24 going to IAC2B. It is a MS2 DIY 3.0 PCB going into a 1990 1.6 USDM Miata. I followed all the mods and instructions on the miataturbo wiki page. miataturbo.wikidot.com/ms2-a. I also attached the picture of the I/O mods I tried to follow. And please ignore the components soldered on the back, I had to redo a few transistors and resistors, but neither my friend nor myself were able to get the solder out of the holes.



Stray wire is SPR3 for my EBC, I haven't got to that part yet though so I left it disconnected.

So on the yellow connector is that a bunch of exposed wire right next to each other? Probably touching in a ton of places?

Nevermind, I just wrecked my pretty car! 😭😭😭😭😭 I'm honestly heartbroken right now. My knees hurt, my hands hurt, and my heart hurts. Guess that's the end of my turbo project.

They're "epoxied" (hot glue looks like?)

Oh my that really escalated quickly. What happened.

The end? Just looks like the start of an Exocet project.

If I ever wrecked my current build and lived. Exocet.

Yes, someone else here did that. He had a dud body (bent/accident damage/something) and is/has turned it into an Exocet. It's a lot of work, and I don't know that I would do it, but YMMV.

Sorry to hear of the accident, glad you seem only to have minor hurts (other than the heart!).
