yes we want a video about wideband

I have to say, this channel is going to be one of the next to blow up! Your videos are so good, I cant believe you don't have more subscribers yet.

keep these coming, i'm really interested in grabbing an NA to start wrenching on with a family friend that has a v8 swapped NA, looking to do low boost for now and really wanted to get more of a mental hold on how mega squirt's software was like. This helped me get the ball rolling, thanks!

literally from the time i get off work to the time i go to bed, i am watching your videos, thank you for being so informative and helpful, great stuff man keep it up

I just got MS3 for my '92. I'll be rewatching all of your MegaSquirt Videos while I wait for it to arrive. This is starting my turbo build, so I'm sure I'll be rewatching all of Broke&Boosted. Heck, maybe a few times before it's all finished. Thanks for all of these great videos on this info.

How did you get on?

This video makes it look easy. Thanks so much for taking the time to make this!

Thanks for these videos man. There really useful and very detailed. Very helpful to me I'm doing a turbocharged NB mx5 and I've been slowly buying parts until I have everything I need I was confused about what engine management to use but after loads of research on forums and websites I've decided mega squirt these videos helped me make up my mind. I imagine the installs will be similar very slight differences as mine is a NB. Thanks again.

I just found your channel and I must say your videos are VERY well done! You are very good at teaching each subject. I don't even own a Miata, but find your vid's compelling. keep up the good work!

This might help a few people out when setting up the IAT. My tubing was cast, and it was tough to find some to install the IAT bung due to lack of a proper welder. Instead I chose the method here to use the 9/16 drill bit on drill press then used the NPT tap as recommended. The helpful part is Homedepot, Lowes, and Pep-Boys all didnt have the size recommended in the video. I went to Harbor Freight for the press, the bits, and tap kit (assuming you dont have one). That got the job done, and this video was super helpful. Cheers!

Awesome video man, very clear and concise way of getting up and running. Suggestions for the next video would be the wideband install, covering the wiring, the calibration, the fitments and if you have the resources to do so, fitting the AFR gauge. You've left me very inspired and now just need to find somebody to do a swap for my RX8. Anyone interested? A 1.8 mk1 mx5 for a '08 rx8 with 15,000 on the clock? No?? Anyway! Thanks again, its been echoed in other comments that your channel due to content and your presentation could end up with many subscribers. Looking forward to your next video :)

wideband wideband! haha I love your videos man! keep us happy:)

I gotta thank you, this and your wideband install video were the two biggest helps I had when installing a wideband and an MS3 in my 1994 Miata w/ AC. For anyone else who may be wondering how you "combine" these two videos (if you're trying to install both at once), when it comes to the new wideband sensor, I wired my wideband's digital output through a CAN module and inputted that into the options plug on my ECU AND also wired the analog wideband output into the stock O2 plug (aka, also to the new ECU, through the stock harness). This was on the advice of an experienced engine builder/spec miata builder I've been working with. Also, for cars with air conditioning, the grommets he uses in the video are not available, and there's a lot of equipment mounted behind the glovebox door, but I still successfully drilled a new hole through the firewall and routed the MAP line through a grommet in the new hole (when you remove the glovebox door, there's a space where you can fit your hand over and between the A/C components and reach the firewall...that's the safe space to drill, as high as you can, to get up and over the rubber matting and sound deadening that lines the interior of the firewall). Lastly, on 1994+ cars, the ECU is not in the passenger footwell, but is mounted on the bulkhead behind the passenger seat. It doesn't change the install very much, you'll just need to plan on a few extra feet of vacuum line. Thanks again TheCarPassionChannel, and keep it up!

I've been looking for a video like this for awhile. Seems like its really easy to use mega squirt for a beginner.

Another awesome video bro, thanks for taking your time explaining how to install mega squirt and a very easy way to understand.

been looking for something like this for like a month to get ready and this just popped up as the first video on my homepage

Awesome video and info! Thanks for posting all of these. I'm looking at buying a na Miata soon and will also be looking to turbo it with megasquirt! Subscribed sir!

Man, your videos are detailed. I LOVE it. A wideband installation would be cool too. (:

Thanks for your videos, you have a great way of breaking these things down so I can go in with confidence. I video I would like to see is a mild engine bay tuck. (Tuck wires, delete charcoal canister, coolant over flow, etc.) Thanks again

Thanks for the video man! I'll be re-watching this when I get my MS for my 240SX.

Thanks for the vid... I really needed actual footage of the tunerstudio screen as you did to direct me.. I'm just more of a visual guy..thanks again bro!!!!

Subscribed ... great video. Realistic disclaimer too! Love it!

this has helped me with a similar set up for my bike throttle bodied 93 mx5 1.6. cheers from the UK!!

Need more tutorials! These are super helpful

This is one of the best expaination to how to setup for mega squirt! good job!

An install video for the wideband would be great. Awesome videos btw. Keep up the good work.

So glad i stumbled upon your channel! just got my mspnp2 for my 94 miata, but won't be installing it until i pick up a wideband (also glad to find you have a install vid for wideband!) can't wait to see your basic fuel map tuning vid

Wideband Video! Also great great job on the videos man. Going to be getting a miata soon and cant to do some "general maintenance" ;)

Great info for the novice ,Nice video..excelent job . would be nice to see vids like this for other engine configurations and brands of ecu

I just bought a miata =) I like watching your videos !!! and haggared garage !

Please do fuel map tuning & wideband install! Thank's for making this informing videos for us!

Thank you for this video, megasquirt has confused me more than any other aftermarket ecu maker

Great video! I'd like to see a video on the tuning capabilities and the data logging.

Nice video - thanks. I'm adding a Rotrex to my 2001 NB and have a MS3 built by Rev that I'm installing along with it.

yes finally wideband install would be appreciated (:

8:30 greg has his plug upside down. If you look at a wiring diagram its pin 2 and pin 7. Pin 2 is earth and 7 is the signal to the ecu for the iat sensor. But as he said, theres no polarity on the sensor so it doesnt matter. Might help for diagnostics though if anyone needs it

Great video! Keep it coming +1 for wideband instal!

Great videos man! Super helpful and well put together. I'm currently doing a lot of research for my own turbo install on my 97. So any more videos from the post-hardware install to getting the car to the dyno would be extremely helpful. Cheers!

perfect video, thanks

I was wondering how to adjust the fueling tables. if you can make a video that would be awesome. Great channel, thanks for your time.

If you wanna do an AFR gauge install video, that would be sweet.

Wideband video! pls

my MAF is discontinued... looks like this is a good option for me! Sweet!

14:09 more precisely that is the MAIN relay, that powers a lot of stuff including injectors, sensors, ignition, and ALSO the fuel pump relay (that is under the dash!)

Awesome Man.

Any vids concerning the specifics of turboing an mx5 would be great bro, injectors, wideband, turbo/manifold choice, list goes on, even just vids with your views on certain things, its refreshing to see a video about this stuff vs reading 100s of forum pages

More on megasquirt basics please Greg🤞

Hi from germany! If you are running 95 octane fuel in your Miata, you can put youtär Ignition timing to 14 degrees before tdc. There will be no knocking or uncontolled auto ignition by the fuel. I tried it up to 16 degrees before tdc and still no knocking. I put it back to 14 degrees, so there is no stress for the engine. It runs a bit better with this setup. Most of the Mx5 enthusiasts in germany are running it at 14 degrees. Nice vids man. I watch it every week.

@TheCarPassionChannel

9 жыл бұрын

Fuelfoxx Thanks for watching! Many people here in the U.S. set their CAS to 14 degrees here as well, even though we only have 91 or 93 octane depending on the state. When you adjust your CAS you're setting your idle timing, but you shift your whole timing map even on a stock ECU. So if your stock timing is 10 degrees, you may be at 28 degrees at full throttle, 32 degrees while cruising, etc. But when you clock your CAS to be 14 degrees at idle, you're now 32 degrees at full throttle and 36 degrees cruising. (These are just examples I'm not sure exactly what the stock map looks like) so it may be better in some areas and worse in others. But since you're only talking about a few degrees, it will likely be beneficial everywhere, since the stock map is designed to run on 87 octane (at least here in the U.S.).

Great Video. It is good to mention that NB's don't require the IAT install, they already got one :)

yossi126 But isn't it part of the MAF? Even though their MAF has better flow than the AFM of the 1.6, you can still remove it and convert to MAP. It makes it easier to get creative with your intake routing and not worry about where you're going to place the MAF.

hey man I watch your videos constantly lol I have a 96 miata and purchased everything but my yellow top rx8 injectors and my megasquirt pnp2. I plan on trying to tune it myself because I literally can't find a shop in ohio that tunes off megasquirt

What do you do about your Smog check. Does the removal of the MAF = auto fail or are you allowed because of the Turbo mod?

Good vid man do one on map.ing the car

I love your videos man! I can read thru forums all day and although helpful, watching videos just helps that much more. So the question. How satisfied are you at that power level? I'm in the process of boosting with an FMII kit. The thing that kills me is the ~250wtq upper limit of the rods. So 230 or so is safe. I'm thinking about new forged rods, rings and bearings to run up to ~275. What do you think?

@TheCarPassionChannel

Dukepgh I would say just boost your stock engine first and see how you like it! It's really going to cost an extra $3000 to properly build an engine. Have you ever driven a boosted Miata as a reference? I'm at 236whp/215wtq and it's so freaking fun! It keeps up with 2015 5.0 Mustangs (450bhp) so it's no slouch. I also autocross it so I need to keep the spool fast and not use too big of a turbo anyways, I'm actually changing the turbo this weekend to something that spools a little faster. I switched to E85 so I'm hoping I can get into the 235whp/225wtq range still. You're going to be so happy with the car even at the 230whp level, and maybe you can just start building an engine on the side and take your time with it.

Great video man, Its nice to see someone actually show it rather than just reading it and assuming a few things. I would love to see a wideband video, or at least more explanation on how you wired it into your MS and if your gauge is straight off the wideband or from your MS. Im guessing its its getting its data from MS.

@TheCarPassionChannel

9 жыл бұрын

Joseph Conley I may not do a wideband video for a while, but hopefully I can answer your question. A wideband o2 is a standalone system. You can install just a wideband by itself in the car and it will function just fine. Widebands have a signal wire that comes from the gauge in most cases, which is just a wire that outputs what the gauge is seeing. That wire goes into MS. So Megasquirt is getting its data from the wideband. That's why you need a wideband to have Megasquirt, otherwise you'll have no idea what your AFR's are.

@JosephConley0

TheCarPassionChannel I understand that, and to my understanding some widebands have multiple wires out. I was curious how yours was currently wired. Wideband -> MS -> Gauge? Either way, your videos have been very informative.

Joseph Conley My wideband (Innovate MTX-L) is a self contained unit. The sensor and gauge are all one package, you can hook your laptop up to the gauge itself to set preferences. The gauge then has 2 output wires, a narrowband and a wideband output. You just connect the wideband output to MS and you're rolling!

Can you provide a screen shot of the ignition wheel decoder section. If this is hard to understand. Maybe I'll give you my specific question.
