Hey Greg. I just want to say thank you. If it weren't for your videos I wouldn't have bought my Miata, and I especially wouldn't have a full turbo setup sitting on my workbench waiting for springtime. Your channel gave me the confidence to dive into the idea of working on cars. I appreciate every drop of effort you put into this channel, and how simple you make everything for anybody; from noob to pro. So thanks for the inspiration, I hope to race you someday.
Dang where was this video like two weeks ago when I installed my MS3 PNP Pro and got my MKturbo setup running for the first time haha. Great video sir. You should show more setup stuff in TS like configuring injector voltage and deadtimes, knock sensor settings, cooling fan outputs, target IGN and AFR tables, etc.. Its hard for noobs to get answers to MS tuning questions on miataturbo.net. Your Megasquirt tuning series has been incredibly helpful thus far. Keep up the great work.
Tunerstudio should say 22 afr as well. Check its not set to an aem style(0v 10afr/5v 20afr) sensor input. The innovates go from 7.3x to 22.x in the 0-5v range. Megasquirt should absolutely reflect that. Also ground wideband same spot as engine ecu to avoid ground potential drift.
hi greg great video very informative I am wondering how you fix the no controller found I just bought a MS3 pro for my mb2 miata and I got the same issue no controller found I tried using different usb cables and laptop and no luck
hey greg, love your stuff i have recently acquired a vvt engine, with stock NBFL ECU. Is that fine to use for the swap (i have a 1.6 NA) or should i buy a megasquirt or similar?
I'm watching all of this in the U.K. and wondering WTF my insurance guys are going to hike my price up to when I give them a spec similar to yours. My 2003 MX5 S-VT sport insurance costs me £350 comprehensive, and I have heard that a supercharger hikes it about £70.
You said your wheels are +36mm offset and you run a 20mm spacer. Do you run the 20mm spacer because you couldnt fit a smaller spacer? I dont want to have to roll my fenders as much as you did but i want 15x9s.Just wondering if you had room for a smaller spacer?
Mines says no controller found, and it's a sr20 mspnp 2. If you can , can you please help me out. Idk how to do the whole "USB to rs232" thing ☹️I'm running windows 10 and I have the provided rs232 to USB cable and adapter that's sold by diyautotune. Thanks a lot !
Hi Greg hopefully you see this comment. I have a 99 roadster with a 1.8 VVT, I am going for a turbo setup and going to install megasquirt soon and hopefully install the turbo a good few months after once I have the base map running well with auto tune etc. My question is when installing megasquirt in a 1.8 VVT do I have to do anything different because it is not a standard 1.8 and it has VVT, will I have to tune my VVT on tunerstudio or can I just forget about it completely if going forced induction? Will it make any differences in my installation and getting the car running perfect on tunerstudio compared to a standard 1.8? I hope this isnt a stupid question, I am pretty new to all this and your videos are amazing buddy
Wow how did I miss this video. I actually messaged you on fb about this. Disregard my message all my answers are here. Big thanks, playing a huge role in my build
Ok, I hope you still check your old video comments. We have MS2 in our 1990 Miata champ car. It already has a 1995 1.8 in it and we have had it Dyno tuned. We heard the secret is to get a VVT motor and tune it on 93. Will MS2 run it and does it have the ability to run the VVT or does it lock it out or can we lock it in advanced position? Thanks, Doc
MS2 can't do VVT, and it will be locked in the 0° position (no advance) so you'll get full top end power but no midrange gains. You can either swap to a 90-93 MSPro, or add a VVTuner.
Hi Greg I have the same wideband gauge but it keeps coming up with E9 but Iv checked multiple points in the feed and it has 12v the whole way through but still shows E9 any ideas why this is happening? Or anyone that could help? (live in England so can’t just call innovate up)
Hey Greg! For the options connector, do you read the diagram as the front of the plug (face that connects to MS) or the rear of the plug (where the wires are going into the plug)? Just trying to figure out where to connect what pins for what I need.
I'm 99% sure the diagram is as if you're looking at the plug on the ECU itself, not the connector. If you have MS3/Pro you can figure it out by looking at the bigger boxes in the connector (4 on one side and 6 on the other). Also - the bigger boxes take the bigger pins, there should be 2 sizes included. On MS2 they're all the same size
@@TheCarPassionChannel Thanks so much! I’ll have to look at the size of the boxes again then. Just to make sure I’m understanding correctly, the connector orientation is basically looking at it as if it was connected to the ECU?
@@electricrc68 correct - the diagram is a map of the pins on the ECU itself. So in the instructions if the upper left pin read "A", you'd hold the ECU in your hands and look at the port and the upper left pin would be "A"
So I'm getting close to putting in a vvt motor (1.6 to vvt) and I'm a little confused on how to asses the throttle body situation. Im pretty sure I need a 1.8 throttle body right? Do I need a 1.8 throttle position sensor? (Is there a difference?) Trying to do things on the cheaper side but if I have to get a new sensor and throttle body then I will. If I do need to get new parts, which years can I get them off? Thanks!!
The VVT motor will have its own throttle body and TPS, the 1.6 units will not fit. Any 1.8 TB will fit any other 1.8 manifold, but the NB throttle body is nicer since it has an internal ISCV.
TheCarPassionChannel Ah makes more sense, I just can't find very many motors that have a tb on them. Having trouble finding a motor in general lol, thanks for the help!
In my opinion the BEST solution is to install a 94-97 alternator, they are internally regulated. That's how my car is set up, VVT engine with NA8 alternator
HertLife uses one for his FC. I've worked with Haltech a ton and I love it, problem is even their basic ECU's are twice the price of MS here in the states. Also they don't offer many PNP options
Motorsport Electronics Now that the car is fully set up and tuned on MSPro, I'm not really interested in switching it all over. If I do another Miata project I'd love to try it out though.

Gloomy day here, too. I've played with my megasquirt a few times already.

as soon as you were on the phone i knew that was toby! he is the coolest dude!
This is the best notification to wake up to💙💙💙💙
My brain completely ignored the word "before" in the video title!
There was so much anticipation!
Same tf
That was super fascinating, I think I need to go watch tuning videos now.
Finally! It's been so long
We miss outtakes or info snippets after the "Back From the Dead" song.
Don't forget to lubricate the cylinder walls and all the valvetrain before start up
Musa Bashir I have the feeling is already up and running by a while......
5:15 - "...AREN'T *EXACLTY* ACCURATE." LOL Brilliant!!
Please cover closed loop idle settings when you get there.
Can you make a video of the initial settings of the vvt and base tables? how to find minimum-maximum duty and abs.deg.
Thank you
Start up next video! Can't wait, love the content Greg!
What does the different trigger wheel do? Why did you go for a 36-2?
So exciting.. my two fav interests,, cars and tech.
hey greg, love your stuff
i have recently acquired a vvt engine, with stock NBFL ECU. Is that fine to use for the swap (i have a 1.6 NA) or should i buy a megasquirt or similar?

Cool looking Mazda flag in the back
Don't care that this video is 2 years old i'm so hyped for startup!
What would the benefits be of running a new trigger wheel? Wondering now since ive seen them on fab9.
I’m in Saint Louis. Do you think I could call Toby if I have any issues with megasquirt for my NB2?
Did you have to make any changes for it to see your crank and cam sensors instead of a CAS? Currently working through a VVT swap
Are you excited now after all hard and good work? 🙂👍
You said your wheels are +36mm offset and you run a 20mm spacer. Do you run the 20mm spacer because you couldnt fit a smaller spacer? I dont want to have to roll my fenders as much as you did but i want 15x9s.Just wondering if you had room for a smaller spacer?
SkymanAK47 Just run them with no spacer. I only added the spacer because I already had major fender work,so they fit great
TheCarPassionChannel Thanks man, getting ready to order wheels and wanted to see if the 15x9s cleared aftermarket coilovers. You helped alot man:)
Any plans on doing a video on sequential ignition soon? Would love to get some information on it!
i am using the ms9093 ms2 and piggyback vvt controller for my 2001 vvt install on my 92. wish me luck.
Greg how did you setup the oil pressure/temperature sensors? Did the oil temp need a pullup resistor installed?
Man its great that your taking your time to build your car but your killing us!!!Make it run!!!we want to see it move!!!
yay for the revlimiter gauges
I AM SO FUCKING EXCITED TO HEAR THIS THING
Thank you so much for the knowledge you share!!

what trigger wheel angle do i use on miata? 80 degrees?
How did you setup ms3pro for sequential spark. I can’t seem to find it
06:06 bless you… to who ever sneezed in the background ^^
Greg can't beat Danny is a hot challenge . I win in all categories
Your knowledge of cars is mind blowing lol. Did you learn everything on your own?
where can I find a manual of the ecu in pdf??thank you in advance!

Is the 1.8 the way to set up sequential spark n fuel ?
Amazing mate, sounds sick 😂
Can you use a megasquirt pnp2? Or does it have to be the specific one you used in the video
Boston Tillery If you do a VVT swap with MS2 you'll have to add something that can control the VVT. MS3/MSPro can do it though
Hi! How to correct control alternator on nb miata? i've broken my mind to connect diy MS3 to my stock wiring on nb mk1, while swap 1.8 vvt engine.
In my opinion the BEST solution is to install a 94-97 alternator, they are internally regulated. That's how my car is set up, VVT engine with NA8 alternator
@@TheCarPassionChannel Thanks!
We set up the car until 3 am. In the end everything works Well! THanks to you and your channel!
VVT Boss ....sounds promising :)
did you make the little jumper cables yourself or do they come with the ecu?
Guus Cornelissen Bought them at RadioShack
tnx. :)
Yo your dash is fire 👌
How do you pass inspection with MegaSquirt please answer back!!!
Put it in the stock location and hide it
Thanks once again for an amazing video.. Craig 😂
Can he get this to pass emissions?
Idk if you guys can get them in the States, but you should look into Haltach ECUs, they're pretty fucking advanced! (But also expensive)
we can get em, it's just hecka expensive
HertLife uses one for his FC. I've worked with Haltech a ton and I love it, problem is even their basic ECU's are twice the price of MS here in the states. Also they don't offer many PNP options
Just as expensive as the AEM standalone ECU's. The whole point of megasquirt is that you can get them for less than 1/2 the price of the $1,000+ ones.
if you are ever thinking about getting an mr2 or a miata, get the miata.
Your amazing
Would you be interested in trying out the ME221?
Motorsport Electronics Now that the car is fully set up and tuned on MSPro, I'm not really interested in switching it all over. If I do another Miata project I'd love to try it out though.
Let us know, its PnP, so its no real hassle to give it a spin! :)
straight from your snapchat!
If you search for 'computer jumpers' you'll likely find the little square ones.
