Megasquirt ECU shopping list
Hello.
I will be upgrading my Miata to a standalone ECU over this winter.
There is a nearby tuner shop that will do the final tune. I am not paying them to install anything, I only need it running good enough to get to the shop.
I have an NA6 with a BP4W 1.8 on a stock harness, square top intake, and a full exhaust.
I need help gathering a complete parts list.
Purchase list below:
Thanks

I need help gathering a complete parts list.
Purchase list below:
- Mazda Miata 1990-1993 MSPNP Gen2 PnP ECU pre-tuned for a 1.8 engine
- Does this ECU need an adapter bracket to mount?
- TPS adapter, BMW TPS, TPS harness (already purchased)
- Coil on plug kit
- I see folks selling Audi and Toyota coils for about the same price. The only difference is in their mounting plate design. Any recommendations?
- MAF delete
- What do I need?
- Delete MAF plug with GM IAT sensor, new charge pipe, filter. anything else?
- how long does the intake need to be?
- does anyone sell intake kits?
- Wideband
- What do I need to use to the 1.8s hall effect cam sensor instead of the CAS?
- Will I need a trigger wheel? if so, please show me a kit
Thanks

The ecu just sorta sits on the floor. You can put some self tapers in, but I prefer to just let it sit on a thin piece of padding, it won’t go anywhere.
you only need a AIT sensor to delete the MAF/AFM, placed somewhere in the intake. You can use any NB intake like a K&N, and if you grab a stock NB air temp sensor/pigtail, it’ll fit in it too.
for the cam/crank, you extend the CAS wiring to both cam and crank sensor following the writeup in the VVT swap megathread. You can use the stock 4 tooth trigger wheels but I’d recommend flyin Miata or supermiata 36-2.
it’ll run with a base tune, even without a air temp sensor. Just needs TPS/MAP sensor.
hope this help, and yes, lots of info on turbokitty and here.
