What have you done to your Miata today?

[mx-p5]

oh goody goody. . . found a guy on miataturbo that has done a schematic and built 1 prototype unit, but no word if it's worked yet

to be used along with

oh i'm finding some good stuff now!!

and the connector it uses opposite the serial port

 

[aMaff]

Ooooooh, I didn't realize that. I thought it was just a serial / usb type issue of getting the right cable. Sorry 'bout that.

 

[princess peach]

is that it? dude, that's a piece of cake. You can find all the parts at Radio Shack

 

[mx-p5]

yup, that's it.

Guy at work said he could do it no problem, but suggest finding a local electronics shop with the capability to print boards for a cleaner install.

Now to source the firmware for it

I was also thinking this. Do you have the cables that go on those connectors?

 

[princess peach]

yup, that's it.

firmware?

 

[mx-p5]

the software for the chip

 

[princess peach]

for the 232? that chip doesn't require programming, it will convert the signals as they come in, baud rate is set by the capacitor configuration. You just need to match it to what the ECU handles

 

[mx-p5]

ah, i'm no electronics guy, i figured it needed some sort of software. . . interesting

 

[princess peach]

yeah, if that board is what you need then it's real simple. Just confirm with the guy that gave you the schematic what diodes he used and you'll be set.

 

[mx-p5]

well thank you much!!

 

[princess peach]

can your friend do the schematic so you can have the board printed? if not let me know and I'll make you one, or you could just ask the same guy for the file (if he got it to work)

 

[mx-p5]

i'm talking to the guy on miataturbo that actually provided that schematic and he's offering to build them as well on a proper PCB, just waiting to hear what his cost is

 

[mx-p5]

Put it on the Dyno at the Rolex car corral

Vids to come later

[mx-p5]

And I've still got a test pipe to install, that was with a cat in

 

[mx-p5]

Dyno vid up, thanks tungsten

Vital stats of your car on the pull? Turbo, boost level, etc?

Flyin miata turbo II kit with the link ecu (early gen kit from late 90's)

The only thing I am concerned about is that dip at 6200-6300 RPMs and then the spike back up.
