It can, but that would put the stock ecu into limp mode, which would cause a knock on effect of loosing functionality. We needed a setup which retained all stock drivability without throwing any codes

Neither will any of the aftermarket ecu manufacturers, and the Emanage just isn't cutting it with so many of my customers wanting 300+kw. Looks like I need to do everything myself, so I am going to g

Considering the price of the ecu is twice what I bought my last stagea for, and you can't actually buy one due to some exclusivity complex they have, I decided to ignore that particular ecu brand. I n

3.5L runs a different plug, and has different CAN protocols. The 2.5dd, 3.0dd and 2.5det all run the same ecu plug with slightly different pinouts.

Most 3.5L ecu's will work, without cam actuation. If you want the cams to work, you will need to reprogram the frequency/degree and self learning, which only the Haltech Elite can do afaik, and without Haltech support you are up the creek (as Mercury found out the hard way). Short story- Don't bother at this time.

Hi... I'm Rick and I'm new to the stagea forums... I have a a m35 arx and.am about to start modifying it... As for ecu options I have read all the covered options and decided to do some searching of my own... The only other option I found other then what has been covered is something called UP REV OSIRIS TUNER... I believe rev zone are the dealers in melbourne for this. I have spoken to them and they want to see my car and plug in a diagnostic to see if they can licence the ecu... Anyone been down this path???

The only ecu options available and proven is the Emanage piggyback, or the HDI Maxrom afm signal bender. (unless you can find a discontinued VQ25det specific loom for the HKS Fcon Vpro. This is by far the best option, and the most expensive)

The Adaptronic has issues, as does any other standalone at this stage. Personally it's hard to go past the Emanage Ultimate in Melbourne at least, as there is a tuner here willing to touch it.

The Osirus dongle can't read our map, it just comes up as jibberish, corrupt data, as ours isn't the same OBD2 protocol as they are used to dealing with. We tried this path years ago and nothing has changed to my knowledge.

What are your power goals? I can suggest the best option for you that way.

The nismo is something you want to use combined with the emanage. It fixes a few issues the emanage can't. Speed limiter and throttle issues etc

80000YEN is not good deal for nismo ecu, it could get an e-manage with tuned around 1300AUD

I don't think you fully understand just how different a Nismo ECU is, compared to a stock one.

I am also using aftermarket ecu right now. I just want to say the low value compare with the high price. I was not saying nismo ecu equal to emanage.

If it was it would be sold already.

Interesting that the emanage is still the most capable ecu on the market at the moment, and the only things it doesn't get rid of is the Speed and rev cut. If those worry you, then any way around them will be expensive.

180 km/h limit ?

Damn, I was looking forward to testing my stock brakes and suspension at 200 +

you can buy HKS SLD (speed limit defencer) to unlock 180km/h if you can't find cheap aftermarket M35 ECU.

Agreed, mine works well, but understand you are cutting the main CAN communication lines to install it.

      Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this.  Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts! My caliper, many other components much older have surface rust but never eating part of the metal   Had I not seen it , could have been a disaster! specifically on rear part of bracket coming off like biscuit will update on what they say, helpful people so far

      The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????
