Engine management

The Microtech available thru Spool ITS is a standalone and does not depend on the factory ECU or the MAF (throw them out the window) It goes for $1999 and includes bigger injectors and an altenator with built in regulator (stock computer houses the regulator)

It is plug and play, so no wiring needed.

Does the Microtech use your exsisting stock gauges? (RMP, Speed, etc)?

Runs all except for RPM. Look here for my solution. Scroll down to see the finished product.

Ripping out the stock ecu gear, changing an alternator, paying $2000 plus doing all that doesn't sound that plug and play to me..

Then when you want to put it all back together you have to find your alternator again and run all that wiring through... That route is more for race only cars, most street users usually want something a bit more friendly.

Whoa, calm down there sparky. All you do is unplug the ECU and plug in the Microtech, it comes with a harness. No cutting or splicing wires.

You could keep that alternator in if you ever wished to remove the Microtech, but what would the purpose of that be.

Does anyone know if the AEM EMS setup will work with our cars? I would assume that it would since it is a stand-alone unit, but I saw them on Ebay and they were for Hondas and Acuras. What gives?

Only miata applications at this time for the AEM.

Is it just because of the harness? It looks like it operates in the right voltage range.

I know what I'm asking Santa for this year...

Now seriously; what else would really need to be done to an MSP besides:

- Stand-alone engine management system like Microtech
- Larger injectors
- Better fuel pump
- Forged rods
- 8.5:1 forged pistons

... to make it safe to run, say, 16 psi daily? I want to know what it would take to be able to play with an MSP without being scared to push it past 9 psi for long periods of time. I don't want to swap engines. I want to make the most of what I have by making it stronger and safer.

I know it's a lot of money, but I think that the first thing that I want to get is the engine management. I'd probably retard the timing as the boost came in, lean out the fuel ratio, tune the knock sensor retard, and set play with the included boost controller over the powerband to make it spool efficiently. PLUS, then I could have a couple different presets for commuting and racing.

Haltech E6X has a dual map feature, flip a switch and your running a different map.

I'm almost up to 9psi tuning my haltech right now. It feels amazingly faster than stock. If you're going to tear the motor apart, might as well throw a bigger turbo on there to take advantage. The stock turbo isn't going to put out much more than 240-250whp efficiently, and the stock internals are plenty capable of that.

Dang you musta been a good kid this year.

I've also heard from a very reputable local tuner that getting power out of the AEM EMS to the Miata is not as "potent" as other solutions at all.
