has anyone tried the mp3 to p5 ecu swap?

[kylenls]

i was wondering if any of you na to turbo guys out there w/ a mp3 have done the p5 ecu swap and how its working? i know it gets rid of the advanced timing but what else does it do and how hard is the install is it just plug and play.

Our 2002 Proteg5 with FP turbo kit, running at 6 psi through a stock exhaust. Blue line is the stock ECU. The red line is with the ECU from an MP3 installed. The MP3 ECU did cause some pinging on the street with the A/C in fifth gear, 3000 rpm but was fine on the dyno. This is with 91 octane fuel.

from flyin miata, also, it should just be plug and play, all the stuff should be the same, correct me if im wrong

mp3 will get a CEL, p5 will not

 

[zmepro]

sure it will, there wont be a light lol, engine will still throw codes to the ecu though.]

 

[Matthew]

well you might as well just unplug the light at that point.

yeah but that takes no skill, the resistors u can list as a mod

 

[kylenls]

cool so just plug n play then ok well let me think on this i definetly along w/ the the recirculating of my blow off valve need to do this so i can feel comfortable driving around and not like im going to blow it up again.

 

[kylenls]

other than the cel comin on any other problems

 

[kylenls]

ok one last question how much of a horsepower loss am i lookin' at only the 10 differnce or more? can you feel the loss?

 

[zmepro]

with the turbochager you prolly won't notice anything
