The car hard revs and then immediately JOLTS/BUCKS and I let out an auditory "HOLY SHIT" and have a grin from ear-to-ear as I experience for the first time this new power band the car now has.

Awwwwwww yeah!

Welcome to the club!!

I am waiting in line.
I'm currently at 13 months since the order request (August 2014)

Hopefully I will have this thing soon. I haven't seen any update on the international list unfortunately.

Same here im also on the list but no idea how close im at getting This thing.

I had an ESC kit for my previous Car(mx5) and I sell it to another mx5 user because asking a conversion kit for BRZ I havn't received a commercial offer. I was thinking for a moment to buy a new kit v2, but I see isn't a good idea to do it now! too much to wait for me

How did you like your MX-5 Kit?

ESC v1 hardware work great, I had some problem with tuning service caused by different engine ( mine was 1.8L , and this is only an option for european market, and base tuning was developed for 2.0L) . Never finish the tune, i had a couple of issue in raining days and some strange knock correction @ low rpm and low load, but in other cases work well! Now I've a Brz w/ same Fa20 engine so i think for a moment to buy it again.

I've had mine installed for a month now, so I suppose it's time to post here. I'm working on OFT tunes and Procede throttle maps for the AT's. Will post more here as it comes.

I think I have pinned down the reason behind my recent high-mileage tune. My tune has enough power in the .3 load areas to coast, cruise, and ever-so-slightly accelerate. The .4 load column is where port injection starts. Cruising with only direct injection is more fuel-efficient, so, I'm currently working on the transition to the .4 load column to make it more efficient as well, and will post my results as I find them.

While looking for pressure related tables to explain why my car doesn't speed up when the pressure rises above 13 PSI below 3000 RPMs, I found the following table, "Port Injection MRP Compensation". Where MRP stands for manifold relative pressure. Normally it stops at 0 PSI, but I added the same relative amounts all the way up to 15.47 PSI. Maybe this is why it seems to wait till the RPMs build before it can use the pressure of the ESC. I'll be testing this out as well as several slightly modified tunes this weekend to see what difference it makes.

Be really careful that you don't lean out at high RPMs under boost when you're messing with that table. You're effectively changing port injector fueling for the entire rev range. 2 PSI of boost at 2000 RPM is not the same as 2 PSI of boost at 7000 RPM in terms of how the ECU provides fueling.

I thought of that, and that is why I changed it. Since it is a multiplier, it is actually making it richer at pressures over ambient. If you're running an ECU with A00D, A01D. B01D, or D00D CAL ID's you can give this tune a try and see if it is leaning out at high RPM's. This tune should give you MUCH better highway mieage. The D00D definition file didn't have the Port compensation table defined, so it hasn't been changed in that tune, just the AVCS tables have been changed. The other three tunes have the port compensation adjusted, as well as the AVCS Intake and Exhaust tables for maximum efficiency from .3 - .6 load, and I'm still working on maximum power for loads above that. It runs well around town, good launch, shifting, and cruising. On the highway it can cruise below .4 load and get good mileage. I haven't got any tunes or maps for MT's yet, but I do have plans for them in the future.

The controller was repaired, upgraded to current specs and cooling, I upgraded to the current 2 stage throttle switch and wiring harness.


Am I hitting the thermal protection mode??


Hard street driving, 2nd to 3rd gear full acceleration, everything works fine for a couple of minutes, then, During long accelerations, boost and voltage down to lowest of 17-18V in second gear, then change to 3rd gear and the voltage goes to 25.9V and boost/power is obviously less. (cool weather this morning). I can slow down and do the same again.


Is this normal thermal protection mode? Any suggestions to get it working fully for longer? I have seen Steve's cooling duct. any other suggestions.
