Default Calling out Braineack ! See my plea for help here lol

I know it's a holiday weekend but I've not been able to reach Braineack in a while.

I'm looking to get a diy pnp (pictured below/it may be a ms3x) I had purchased last year from Braineack modified. It's for a 2000 miata. I now have a 2005 Mazdaspeed Miata and want to know if the harness/clips can be simply modified to work with the speed. Hope they see this post. My inbox has been quiet for some time!

Attaching a picture of the ECU.

you'll have to activate the main relay of the MSM. You normally use a transistor circuit for it, but you could use a spare output instead.

To "Call" someone, put their name inside this "utag" tags:

@DNMakinson If you quote it, you will be able to see it (you don't need the =NUMBER inside the first set of brackets)

However, if you want it to call Reverant, you must spell his name correctly. I would say, if Brain built it, he would be the guy for modifying it.

That looks like an MS3X, not a PNP.
Does anybody know if the MSM, since it's so special, has the same connector as NB1 or other NB2?

I can't remember what it's actually called. I just know it worked!

Trying this again. @Braineack

Hope you see this soon. I've been able to reach Reverant, but as expected, said I'd need to come to you for the modification. So now from glancing through the responses, it just needs to be converted to a nb2 connector? I know these are the problems I face trying to boost on a budget but I hope this is an easy fix.

*praying this damn tag thing works lol.

trubokitty.com will tell you all the info you need on how to do this. You need to buy a NB2 connector, chop off the old one. Then wire it up as directed for you car on the link I gave you.

Long time no see man. That's all there is to it? surely the harnesses can't be too crazy different from one another. I'll check that site out now. DIY will have the NB2 Connector I'm assuming. i'll order that now. Thanks for some insight!
I'm willing to pay to have it done professionally but I'll research this now as my builder is MIA and that's okay.

@shuiend I glanced at the site and am 100% I can not complete that tasks. Wiring/ schematics do not sit well with me. I've never soldered anything in my life let alone built an ECU. I would do more harm than good if I even attempted to pull that off.

I'll continue to wait on Scott for a response. I'd rather pay to have this done right then potentially cause an electrical fire and ruin and ECU. When I say I have zero experience with this kind of stuff, it's the absolute truth. Not asking for a spoon feed. Looking for the job to get done right !! My mazdaspeed is lacking a real ECU.

I've made contact with Braineack finally! All is well and will be an easy process it sounds like. BTW @concealer404 Those are Konig Hypergrams

I was hoping you weren't going to say that. :( I hate that they only come in those stupid half sizes, because i want them really badly.

Are those the 7.5 or 8.5? 205/50 tires?

Aren't there similar looking TRM wheels?

Yes but these are better. And the TRMs don't come in 15x8 afaik. I'd rock C3Ms in 15x8 +25 though.

Yes I have the 15x8.5's. Currently running a 205 50 Falken Azeni. I am going to bump up to a 225 45 R1R or RS4 before end of season.

For the price, looks, and "light weight" you really can't complain. There's always the advanti storm's.
