MX5Ireland

I got my turbo'd mx5 back from Jomo yesterday but it's not fully finished or mapped, me and Rhys are going to try and do a few bits to it Saturday if anyone is interested in coming, we are going to try fitting the wideband o2 system and boost controller and tidy up some wiring, we would really appreciate some help from anyone with turbo experience or anyone else interested, everyones welcome and we will probably be there all day, place: a few miles outside Newcastle west in co limerick, can ring me for directions if anyone wants to come 0874151903, thanks kieran

Ah, at long last, you got her back. Did you end up having someone else finish the job or did the original guy eventually get the job done?
Won't be around Saturday, good luck with the tinkering!

Thanks, no he didn't have it finished so I said I'd take it away and finish it myself with the help of a friend, he did alot of the work turbo, intercooler, downpipe, cage, etc but never fitted the wideband o2 system, the greedy boost controller, the greddy emanage blue ecu was on my passenger seat with wiring everywhere and my ignition/alarm wiring was messed up, had to start it by touching one wire off another! I'm fairly pissed off but just so glad to have it home at the same time, he could have had it for another 6/7 months easily if I didn't collect it, hopefully we'll get it finished ourselves soon

Ouch, sounds like a bit of a mess
Can't make it down this Sat I'm afraid, give me a shout on the phone if there is something I can help with.

Not a bother to us

I won't be around on Saturday but best of luck with the work.

Damo.

if you were closer kieran i would certainly help out

Glad you got it back.... all the best sorting it out......

Thanks lads, we're just at the car there now checking what's in the car but theres bits everywhere, it's some mess and the software cd for the GReddy emanage blue isn't in the car or are any of the instructions/books that were with it now how are we going to map it ourselves? We're just looking online now, so pissed off

The Greddy web site has a load of stuff for downloading about the EMB setup/install but I don't think it has the software itself for downloading

It has their 'Support Tool' but I don't know if that's the same one that comes on CD with the EMB.

Get the car sorted with the alarm, WB02, Oil Pressure Gauge, Water Temp Gauge, Boost Gauge/Controller and I'll take a look for the required software for tuning it afterwards.

Do NOT try to wire up the TPS as it is not required !

Tripple check ALL the pins linking the EMB to the ECU - the harness has been known to fail and/or be incorrectly wired up due to different Mazda ECU pins for EU/USA/EUNOS cars. I've gone through that already so I think I still have all those different ECU pins outs.

Maybe just as well this has happened - a childhood friends father has passed away late last night so my plans are shot for this weekend (PM) Sent.

Sort out what you can that I've listed anyway and if you are not sure about something send me a text. Do not 'try' anything that you are not 100% sure about

Also email me a pic if you have time of the extra box of parts that came with the EMB so I can see what you have there (EMB Autotune etc).

Hey, you've both a heck of a LOT of work to do there already so just do what you both can and if your not sure then text me ! If your not sure about the pins outs for the MAP/WB02/etc then just run the wires etc.

I'll call you when I can later today.
