Bugger, defected?

Good luck tracking down something suitable, time is not on your side but hopefully someone will be able to help you out.

Hopefully something straight out of the box will be suitable for you but it sounds like you need something like the nistune where you can twiddle with it until it is the exact way you want it.

Kind Regards

Why the week time frame? And what's wrong with yours? If your worried about the turn around on nistune I sent mine to Nistune in SA on a Monday from QLD and recieved it back Thursday morning. And I'm sure any workshop that does Nistune install and tunes will have a day turn around. It's going to be just as long for any other ecu especially if it's an universal wire in ecu.

Edit: you replied before my post. Is a stock ecu no good because of the mods you have?

What mods do you have?

To an extent, the type of cats you have are just as important as having a relatively decent tune.

fmic 3" turbo back custom stainless exhaust pod thats it so far

and cat all i know is its high flow

Bugger, I'm glad my neighbors don't complain like that. It may be worth your while taking it to an exhaust expert and seeing what they think. If you have to get it to a certain db or something they may come up with a relatively easy and hopefully not too expensive solution.

Or you could go to the trouble of putting everything back to standard but seems like a waste if it's something you can work around.

An aftermarket ecu will do next to nothing about your emissions (Well, the specific gases that are measured in an emissions test)

Euro4 Spec cat for under $500. You will pass.

If you want, fit your old cat back up after and sell it.

tuning guy said he could get it 2 pass with a new ecu

If you are using a tuner couldn't you get away with a decent piggy back system?

Or is he after an ecu that he can remap?

I can't see what a tuner could do with an ecu that has been modded but not chipped to allow remapping.

"I changed nothing except the thermostat since getting it back from Unigroup. Passed with 238rwkw power tune, gt-rs, fmic, cams, 740cc injectors, pfc, 3" turbo back and xr6t cat.

Yavuz suggested the XR6 turbo cat and said it should pass with one on there when picking it up from the tune. "

Quoted from another site.

Seems alot of people over in the eastern states (You guys :rofl2:) have had some success with the XR6T Ceramic 3" cat. $120 and away you go!

    • It's something we all have to consider as time marches on. Also consider lifted rally MX5 conversion at that point.
    • I should be fine for a few more years, whilst I do have arthritis I also exercise and do mobility training every day to keep as fit and healthy as I can, military life, which is the actual cause of most of my joint issues, has set daily regimes, which I weirdly enjoy I also train alot smarter now, not really focusing on lots strength or puffy muscles, I'm more focused on maintaining what I have for my future older self, I actually train as much mobility now as I do exercising Check out this "simple" drill I have been doing daily prior to training now for a while now, this has worked wonders in my all round mobility   
    • I'd say one thing that may make you sell is the same reason the guy with the hard top roof sold his. He got old, and his back was giving him too much grief stopping him getting in and out... Old guy said he was 73! He looked and sounded younger than 73 to me! Or maybe I'm just aligning with old people more...
    • Already looked at a few prior to getting the MX5, really nice car, had all the mod cons, but I wasn't really sold on the new "look" I did miss my 2017 Limited, and I personally prefer the "look" of the older car over the new model, but, when pondering I kept going back looking at MX5's But it was same same for the new ND's, I wasn't sold on the new "look", especially the RF with its weird roof, which only half goes down, like a targa top sort of thing As I stated before, I did look at NC's, but the cars I looked at were PRHT's, but I didn't like their roof line "look" of the PRHT, until I saw the soft top version, (someone on SAU posted a for sale ad for one with a soft top that caught my attention, you can blame them for my choice.....🤣) and.... that old style detachable hard tops were available for them, which keeps the old MX5 more smoother flowing roof line, and the more rounded body style, similar to the NA-NB, to me, the arse end of the ND looks to "modern" Much like how I prefer the NC1 front bar, over the later models How long will I keep this car for is unknown, but currently, there's nothing else out there that "floats my boat" for a small, fun, little "sports car", that I can play with and enjoy looking at and driving But, who knows what the future holds, and going off current new car styling, if I replace it, it will be a older model something something       
    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works!
