hi - ms quesiton
me noob, you jane. anyway, i decided i need a daily because of another project and i figured i could use my old v2.2 ms1 to put into a miata if i decide to buy one this weekend (99/00 w/ lsd) i've always loved the cars and i'm pretty certain i found the perfect one... sorry to post this intro here, but anyway... anyone here squirt a 99+? any major issues i should look out for? i'm just looking for 180-200 hp, boosted.

with the stock ecu running spark and the ms controlling fuel, how will the ecu react? (just going for a bit of boost). i've noticed a lot of you guys on here have been retarding your timing it seems.
i'd have to change a couple things to get my old ms working with spark. i could always just get the ms working and not boost until i can get the ign control working.
you guys use a dis right?

Ok, I also have a '99 I plan to run MS eventually and I already have some high impedance 550 cc injectors. What is going to be the difficult part of running spark? Will it be getting my dwell times correct or something else that is the difficult part? Do I need to look into getting some 1.6 coils/ignitor to make this worth my while. Is it difficult because the 1.8 coils don't have as much adjustability as other types of ignition systems? I could go the MSD route but like everyone i'd like to keep things cheap and use stock components. I do know that I will need the early model CAS.

I know it's probably around here somewhere, but are there any diagrams to wire up a CAS on a 99 1.8, so taht i can install an early model 1.8 ecu, or for my future mega squirt install. i forgot to mention that i have a CAS from a 96, with the pigtail connections i'm just not sure how to wire it up. i'm probably not looking hard enough

As you look into the connector on the cas (the shaft pointing down):
GND, V+, CKP, CMP
Connect the GND on the same ground as MS, V+ is 8-12V power supply, CKP is connected to pin #24 on the MS, CMP is connected to pin #25 on the MS (24,25 per the instructions posted here in the stickies).

kingofl337, as soon as I connected the crank sensor to the MS it wouldn't run, the stock ECU stopped receiving the RPM signal and the engine would stall (I was still using the stock ECU for spark back in them days). I guess it won't stall now, however if the stock ECU doesn't see proper RPM, it won't activate the idle valve (including A/C bump) and it won't control the VVT, the VTCS and myriads of other tiny little bits in the 01+ 1.8 engine.
