I have a MS1v3 with the hires 11d firmware that I am trying to get running in parallel on my totally stock 1997 1.8L. I have started a new project in TunerStudio and am now trying to get all of my basic settings established properly before plugging it into the car. I'm beginning to feel a bit overwhelmed though and I've realized that I may need some sort of simplified instruction "for dummies" if such a thing is available?

What would be most useful is a step-by-step walkthrough for setting up a stock NA 1.8 project, but even a basic listing of the appropriate settings would be immensely helpful. My searches here and on google have not quite yielded much clarity. Anyone have any useful links or search terms that could help me find the correct settings to use for a parallel install on a stock '97 Miata?

EDIT: Actually, even just a look at someone else's stock or nearly stock NA1.8 parallel install project file would be very helpful.

If anyone can share some wisdom/guidance on this I would be very grateful. Thanks!

 

Andrew, I'm as lost as you. I bought that 95R, that was on local forum. It ain't tuned for s**t. David

 

David, is the 95 set up as a parallel or standalone install?

If I ever get some of these basics figured out, I'd be happy to help you out wherever I can. We may need to get Bryce to school us with a local MegaSquirt technical class/workshop.

 

I've driven the car home, and once around a country block. I've not really missed with it yet. I'll say standalone, its behind pass seat and boomslanged in. Robert H said Damon is good on the tuning, I've not heard from him yet. Hey it's Miata #3 anyway, but I want to get it going right.
