It's a parellel install, I Plan to keep it that way for a while, then when I have some spare cash go ms3

thumbs down.


yes the stock ECU needs to see the narrowband (as well as the clt/ait), else it doesn't handle the idle control well.

I'm not extremely comfortable with my wiring ability ATM. Wouldn't mind going full standalone status if I had a person directing my step by step in the garage.

the only difference is idle control. unplug the stock ECU and you're standlone.

RedTurboMiata 01-19-2012 12:00 PM

Really? I thought there was a bit more too it then that. And the under hood part, how do you have that hooked up?

MF-Brain 01-19-2012 12:32 PM

that's the only thing the stock ECU is doing...throwing codes and controlling idle.


what underhood component? the AIT, the vacuum line? the turbo? the hamster wheel?

RedTurboMiata 01-19-2012 12:40 PM

The idle valve, mine leaks somebody tapped it in poorly.
Ps. I want to see the hamster wheel too

pull it off and set idle manually. Like a ------ man, thats how they did it back in your daddy's time, so why can't you?

(not much of a riddle there, but I will try harder next time).

Don't you have to a hole in the throttle body.

we already do, thats what the adjustment screw is for. btw, don't listen to my suggestion. Not really the best idea.
