You're selling yourself short Peter!!! :mrgreen:

Yep - got to be happy with that Danny.

Looking fwd to QR track day.

Anyone got ideas re datalogging from the MS PNP? ... without spending a fortune? or having the laptop in the car?

How about this Peter? He's local as well.

Well the time has come
Engine is run in and ready to be megaqsquirted.

Hmm maybe thats not the way to put it...
I am glad the $$ has come back. If anyone else needs anything I am happy to combine shipping?

Did all the resistors, capacitors and "other" from the diagram on http://www.miataturbo.net/forum/t13676/ today, 78ish components, I think theres about 40 left to go

Hopefully that'll work for me...

Have just been looking at the diy PNP kit on the diyauto site. Looks interesting - a cut down, simpler version of the standard MS.

Anyone got any experience with them?

Looks like a great idea, however keep in mind they run MS2/Extra unlike the original MSPNP which runs MS/Extra. The CPU is beefier but the code is less mature. One major advantage I can see is that MS2/Extra can decode the NB crank and cam signals.

Is that a benefit for an NA6 installation?

Only if you're fitting an NB engine

I've been looking that the DIYPNP and the MegasquirtPNP. Is there a benefit for going to the MegasquirtPNP over the newer DIYPNP?

The DIYPNP is significantly cheaper.

I'd go the DIYPNP if you don't mind getting your hands dirty...

No issue with 'dirty hands'. I didn't really want to build a kit from scratch but the DIYPNP looks simple in comparison to the MS1 kits.

My biggest concern is getting the base map working. DIYautotune reckon the 94-95 map will get it 'running' but I'm not entirely convinced since it's a different motor.
