Without these videos I really believe tuning megasquirt would be a lot harder. Keep them coming greg and ty.!!!!! Mu miatas running and I've got to give ya a lot of props for getting me through.

You are an Amazing Guy !!! zero dislike life and you make megasquirt for everyone possible

Thanks for the help. It's not very complicated when someone is talking you through it step by step.

This is really cool, I got a 92 GTI (wrong channel, I know) but I also have a MegaSquirt and so this is helping me out with different parts of tuning that I didn't know with the MS system. KEEP IT UP!!

So glad someone is walking through this an understandable method without overloading it all into one hour long video. Can't wait to get started on my own

You are concerned about it being boring, but concise and you explain things very well. Good job.

Just wanted to thank you. You help me with a lot of questions and made it much easier to get into the tuning with MS. These videos are great. I even revert back to them often when ever I need to recap a topic.

Hell yeah, keep going with this series, these are very helpful for me

This video made me go from stuck to unstuck. Low idle, bad throttle response. Now I have somewhere to start tomorrow morning. Thank you!

Not bored at all, keep em' coming. Good information and thank you.

Love the series, I am almost ready to start my turbo miata for the first time, so this comes in super handy. Thanks!

I've only ever worked with AEM (which I don't like at all) and Hydra, which I absolutely love, but must admit that its price tag is up there if you want to have all sorts of extra fancy goodies. It's neat to see you doing the "screen share" style so that I can get a good look at the layout of MS and how the user interface behaves. good stuff indeed.

Keep 'em coming! I'm just now starting to tune mine before installing the turbo & these videos are super helpful for getting more comfortable w/TS. Thanks!

Very nice Greg! cant wait for more videos. EFI Tuning has been one of the things that I really want to learn so these videos should really augment the research I'm doing.

Yes! More more moooore! I'm getting ready to boost my NB1 in the very near future. These videos definitely help with the steep learning curve of Megasquirt. Keep up the awesome work!

starting my MS turbo build this week and these videos basically do it for me. you're the man, Greg.

Precisely. This is precisely the sort of vids that I'm looking for. You sir, are a gentleman...

Dude I've been watching your videos and its inspired me to get a Miata I just wanna say thank you for given me that push and the motivation broskiiii.

Keep going with these videos! They're great

love the info matey🖒 this will come in very helpful when I start tuning. 😀

I see it has been a few years... but your video's continue to help me with my turbo build. Thank you so much!!!

Some good stuff here, loving it. Thank you much

Thank you for making these videos. They so helpful, even for other makes and models. As far as I know your the only one making these videos that are this detailed.

Great stuff, keep up the amazing work and videos!

Just picked up a turbo Miata. It already had this installed. These tutorials are perfect and im only on the 1st video.

Great tutorial! Keep it up. Ain't boring to me. If you couldn't tell by the glasses, calculator watch and that I'm not bored by this, that I am a nurd.

only on video number 2, and I have learned soo much. Thank you!!

Liked and subscribed man you're the only person that give good detail and explains what things are.... abbreviation decoding helps

Makes me want to get a miata to track it! Being i know alot more now because of you! Thanks greg, keep it up man!

Good info Greg! Thanks!

Great video. I use Access Tuner Race on my platform for tuning, a little different but overall the same concept as far as tuning

great stuff cheers! i run megasquirt on my old beetle but its the same principle

Keep up the good work!

Great Video!

Goood series cant wait

this is awesome!

Hi Greg, these videos are great, years on, still heaps of great information. ive been watching this series of videos back and forth trying to find one thing!! in the startup vid you did you have a tune for Non turbo. but then in this video you have a turbo tune loaded (I can see the kPA on the map) where can i find that turbo base map? I have a Mazda 323 1.6l that i have bolted on a turbo from a b6t....so all your 1.6l stuff is a great place to start! (the tables, not the total tune itself) thanks Michael.

awesome man love these vids wish you could upload them faster than I watch them

Getting ready to pick up an MS2 and pop it into my mostly stock 1.8 to get the feel of things before swapping motors and boosting it. I just downloaded tunerstudio and been checking out some sample maps they provided. The link you posted with miata sample maps didnt work for me, not sure why.

This is exactly what I experienced when I first got my MS. There's so much information on mt.net that you can't seem to find any apart from a couple of useful threads (within reasonabe time that is) When you use the search function you can only seem to find posts of "noobs" that want to know the same as you. Apart from the basics I've learned most my things from trial and error and just playing around with some settings. These videos are really useful as a source of information, without having to dig through pages and pages of search results on mt.net Keep up the good work Greg (or Craig, Daniel or John or something, I'm kinda curious what people come up with :'D) You inspired me to turbo my MX-5 and it's almost finished! Just some assembling work to do :)

Got my na miata all tuned up and was ready to put my turbo on then the very last time I hooked up my laptop to check out everything one last time I got a message from tunerstudio that said there was an error when trying to open my tune so after some research I have to start another project... something to do with windows 10 corrupting the properties of my file. Talk about upset. Hopefully I can save my file on a thumb drive and reinstall it if it ever happens again. Major setback. I'm sure its something I did cause I'm not super tech savvy. Anyway thanks for the vids greg you explain it the easiest for me to understand and the videos dont put me to sleep. I know this probably doesn't happen to often but if it's done it to you a video on how to avoid this situation would be awesome

Good stuff

Awesome videos. If anything, make them more detailed! Show some non-Miata related info, too!

Great Megan squirt Tutorials! it would be helpful if you could point out certain differences when tuning with a 1.8 vs 1.6 if any exist. - NB1 kosubi

Hey how are you? I love your videos, great explanations. Do you know if it is possible to run MS on a drive by wire throttle? Thanks mate

I think the answer to my fuel questions will be on your next video. My turbo build is complete but I am unable to run the car because I lean out so I need to know how to add fuel . Any ways I am scheduled to go with Toby this Saturday with the car on a trailer, but would have been nice to get to the exhaust done before the tune. Thanks for all the videos my build would have been a complete mess if it wasn't for your shared knowledge.

Greg, there is a MUCH easier way to scale your AFR map. Click on the arrows in the bottom left corner. From there it will bring up a dialog where you can enter your desired break points. When you click "ok" it will adjust the map to reflect your original AFRs mapped to new cut points.

Are you sure it's safe to use fuel cut for the overboost protection? Wouldn't that be more likely to cause a momentary lean condition than spark cut?

Don't have a Miata but this will be helpful anyway!

My question is would you recommend me installing a mspnp into my 94 1.8 which is NA and only running aftermarket intake n exhaust and a few other items ? I don't plan on going for boost but my long term goal is ITBs so am wondering if it will be good to learn MS on my near stock setup n do small adjustments to better learn the system. In future prep for ITBs, or is it not worth changing ur ecu unless you go boost with a turbo or ITBs ? Thanks in advance love the videos !!!!

@TheCarPassionChannel

8 жыл бұрын

If you plan major modifications in the future it's best to install it sooner than later. If you want an ITB setup why would you boost it first? AN ITB setup will be cheaper than properly turbocharging anyways.

+TheCarPassionChannel thanks for the fast response, sorry I meant I don't plan on boosting it ever. ITBs would be my long term choice, even though many say tuning can be a really pain and timing consuming process with the east coast weather changes. So for know I'll keep reading and learning Ms until i finally make the Itb moves... So I guess my main question is should a stock Miata even run MS ?

To replace the rings you have to pull pistons which means either pulling the motor or dropping the subframe and pulling the oil pan. In which case you should do bearings while your in there. If the car is cheap enough sure but it's borderline putting a new motor in

It's really fun, and a learning experience. It does have the potential to make more power than the stock ECU with proper tuning as well.

This is the best MS tuning video I've watched, thanks so much!! I'm planning to install a Megasquirt into my Miata (when I buy it) and this has been very very helpful :). I have a couple questions for you: I am confused @ 3:23 in the ignition timing table. At 230 & 212 kPa and 1800 RPM, why are the timings a lot less than their surrounding cells? The 5.1 and 6.9 BTDC Sorry if this second question is answered in another video of yours, but is your boost being controlled by the wastegate spring + a manual/electronic boost controller, or is the Megasquirt controlling it? Thanks so much Greg! I'm looking forward to applying this KNOWLEDGE to my future car and beating LAMBORGHINIs somehow ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

The base map does start out very conservative. I said that I leave the base map alone until I'm on a dyno, unless I'm actually getting audible detonation. Seems just fine, it usually gets quite a bit more aggressive in boost after dyno time actually.

Can you provide the base map that you used?
