Hi everybody,

First off My names sean and I own a Red 91 manual mx5 turbo that I have owned for approx. 8 months and loving it so far.

Im new to this forum and was hoping that someone may be able to help me with some ECU information?

Has anybody used a MAPECU-3 from driven proformance?

Any information would be greatly appreciated ,

Thanks

Sean :)

Hey Sean, it was nice to meet you two the other day! That was me in the silver mx5 outside subway.

I haven't heard of that type of ECU in particular, but maybe some of the more knowledgeable people could chime in.

Nice wheels!

From what I understand they're a very basic MAP driven piggypack. Forget it, get a megasquirt or if you have money to throw around, a link.

Personally, a MS2/3 will do EVERYTHING you could want from an MX5.

Link if you have a BIG chequebook and can't twist a wire to save yourself, megasquirt if you can follow instructions and dont have two left thumbs. or you could get jarrod in tauranga to install and tune a megasquirtfor you
