Definitely! Hopefully there is still some integrity left in this world. Besides, he has more to lose by not doing it than I do. Usually if you speak a little engine lingo with installers they know better than to do half-A$$ work on the car.
just keep in mind that after this is done...you will be REQUIRED to run 91/92 octane in your car all the time. as the timing curve is different....and that is in fact where the MP3 gets the extra 10 HP stock over the P5.
running rich has nothing to do with running what kind of octane.
the timing is advanced in the mp3 ecu, which requires the octane to have higher octane rating to avoid pre ignition.
So can i just swap the ecu out of a mp3 with my mp5...is that the same as having it flashed..im not sure if i understand...also i was having trouble with my auto tranny...so i swapped the valve body and soliends out of a focus tranny..seem to pick my car up a little??

you guys can put a mp3 computer in a automatic? i thought they were all manual. souns like the same thing us ZX2 guys have with S/R computers, but they ONLY work on manual zx2's
no problems with running too low an octaine fuel, it just burns too quickly robbing
of a little power and economy. It's running too high an octaine that you have to
watch out for. That can ruin your Cat.
You are correct, sir. Mazda techs reflash the MP5 ECU using factory codes. I had mine done using selected MP3 codes that primarily increase the timing. Butt dyno sez it makes a difference with a 5-speed. No chassis dyno yet.
