I have an extra stock ECU I'd be willing to lend for this project if you're interested.

I think he's going to need a LOT of dyno time to get tuning to a decent level. This wont be something just as simple as throwing timing at it. Or ecu tuning stock sucks.

Yeah, I was just throwing it out there, just in case. I figured since he already has an MP3 he could swap out the ECUs to test it. But I just realized my ECU would throw a CEL on the MP3.
Might not matter, though.

What is the code off of it? Most likely we already have the strategy but I am still trying to identify any that we don't have.

Correct. It shouldn't be much different than the Fords when swapping EECs but I am not sure if anybody has done a Mazda with a different EEC in it.

Hopefully not too much. 99% of the technology for runner controls, variable valve timing etc... are used by Ford as well. There wil be some work involved for sure.

Once we have some momentum with the supported MX6, 626, Protege, Probe and MPVs (yes MPVs) We can certainly add support for others.

Honestly, demand dictates supply in this case. Send me e-mails/PMs etc... asking for support and you'll get it.

Unfortunately, production numbers are kind of irrelevant although I get your point...

talk of price is worthless without having ANY actual results. Also this is blatent advertising now. This is getting ridiculous. You need to post some results and then we'll welcome you with open arms. Until then this sales info is going to be deleted.

Hmm, one could almost go there with the neverending WOMP threads...
