Spool MAZDSPEED Fuel computer

[mazdaowner123]

So if I'm thinking of getting the flash, I should wait and get this instead? This will fix the hesitation by leaning out the mixture, correct?

Hmmm.... sounds tempting for a first mod.

 

[spoolinmp3]

so this piggyback will only deal with fuel correct? And it comes with a map that is tuned for fmic exhaust and a cai? What boost will it be tuned for? I know it wont be tuned for 15 psi because that would be danger to the stock internals. you said it could be tuned up to 15 psi... what does this mean exactly.

It will be tuned up to 15psi,
this is doen just in case there are boost spikes ect. I would not recommend running more than 14psi with a non flashed car

Also, can boost be altered in any way by this unit? Will a fuel cut defender need to be used in conjunction with this unit to run higher than max maf flow (ie 11 psi?)

The ecu will have a fuel cut defender built in

This is really good news. I've never used piggy backs before so I'll have a few questions. Where exactly does it plug in? And will I have to do any programming whatsoever? Or do I just install it (whereever it is installed) and whenever I decide to run different settings it will automatically adjust? Terry, if I'm running an SRI + differyou said it will be for 15psi + FMIC + exhaust + CAI...does this mean ent size FMIC from Spool's + Different size exhaust than Spool's + say 13psi I wont be able to use this? I think I need like a FAQs on piggy backs...any around here?

No the unit will not automatically adjust.
Minor changes like a SRI vs CAI are pretty much irrelevant in terms of changing fuel requirements of the ecu.

It will require no adjusting or tuning, it will be spliced into the cars ecu via 8 wires

Terry, you said it will be for 15psi + FMIC + exhaust + CAI...does this mean if I'm running an SRI + different size FMIC from Spool's + Different size exhaust than Spool's + say 13psi I wont be able to use this?

Yes again for the most part it will not greatly affect fuel requirements.

when he says that the maps will be adjusted up to 15psi, that means it will work for all boost ranges below 15.

exactly

also with the use of the communications tool, and a laptop you can self tune it to your specific mods if you have a wideband

This is possible but not recommended if you have no tuning experience. Any error inputs and boom you can blow a motor easily.

So then is there a maximum boost level that flashed cars can run and if so what is it?

About 9psi vs 13-14psi on a un flashed car with proper supporting mods

So if I'm thinking of getting the flash, I should wait and get this instead? This will fix the hesitation by leaning out the mixture, correct?

Yes it will......whatever you do DONT FLASH YOUR CAR!!!
unless you plan on staying at stock boost forever

 

[Bremmer]

Too late for me... ****!....is there anyway I can get "unflashed"?

Swap ECU's with someone who isn't flashed. Or get something that can control timing.

 

[Notorious]

whats gonna be the solution for people who are already flashed?

 

[spoolinmp3]

We are working on that

 

[Focus]

Is this setup based on a Greddy emanage platform?

 

[lamp3]

Spools the man! Period. Spool, so we're gonna have to splice it in??? Sure would be sweet if it were plug and play. ... But I guess beggers can't be choosers... =)

 

[ARunto]

what if we have a e-manage unit already? can we get the other things needed to get it to work properly?

 

[Dexter]

damn glad i havent had the chance to get mine flashed

 

[mazdaowner123]

yeah same dex. terry, lemme know if you need a test car for anything. I live in richmond so I'm really close to you guys. Car is 100% stock right now. If you need it for tuning or testing, lemme know!

[David MPS]

good news, but my car are flashed...........

 

[505zoom]

What kind of software/hardware is needed to tune this piggyback???

I will ask AGAIN...

 

[Little Beavis]

J&S safeguard would cover timing and give you an extra margin of safety in case you get some "bad gas" at the pumps. It will certainly protect your motor and allow you to take timing out.

 

[SOSPEED]

#1 But i wonder what will be the power out put with the piggy back install between a flashed car at itsmax boost and a unflashed car at max boost.
#2 Also for peolpe who have the flash how much power would they see out ofthis piggy back since its really for the unflashed ecus
#3 You say the piggy back is programed to compensate for add on like a FMIC, CAI, Cat Back and so on, Well with those add ons and the power gained from the piggy back and the car set to max psi wouldnt the engine go BOOM.. After all of those mods the engine should be putting out over 220, at my guess or more, and i hear that thats the most you would want to be pushing to be safe.

 

[turboge]

Since you're still using the factory timing maps you will be limited to maximum power. It's only a fuel solution, it will smooth the car out and pickup decent gains but you'll still be missing that edge of performance gained by advanced timing in the right areas.

I'd like to see the progress in development for the MSP... if anyone has one and its running I'll help them tune it.

 

[Dexter]

can you use the J&S to run advance timing in addition to retard, or is it only a retard.

or i could just go check myself. duh.

okay, it only looks like timing retard to me. in that case...if you didnt want to go standalone ECU, woudlnt it be better to get the flash (adv. timing), get the J&S (to retard timing when det), and get this spool fuel computer?

 

[turboge]

Or just buy a standalone and quit buying piggy backs

J&S only retards.... I'm going to install one tomorrow night and finalize my timing maps so I have them close to the edge with maximum performance.

 

[Dexter]

yeah, i know standalone is the real way to go. i was just throwing that out as an option for those who dont want to go down that path.
