2 videos in 1 week?! Yes, back to the old days! Love you Daddy Craig!

@@DrifterDavid I’m afraid you’re mistaken. I’m fairly certain it’s spelled “Kreg,” no?

[@FiveFiveGarage]

Bruh, you have been boosting so hard, you blew the paint off the valve cover!

[@albietbeck]

You could put a blob of silicone on the board connection for strain relief

[@jakenuno9900]

Good idea, I've used hot glue too. Only thing it's failed on so far is a Polaris RZR; knocks the giant metal capacitors off the amp board with hard hits. Gotta try silicone on that.

[@TankRust]

Great video Greg! I have to second your good words about Toby at AED. He tuned my Megasquirt Miata years ago and it’s been a rock solid track day ripper ever since. Keep up the great technical Miata content!

[@michaelgutekunst6969]

I seen wires break like that too more times that I can count in my field and couldn't help from laughing for a good 5 minutes. Your iron works just fine with little to no practice but for a few bucks more amazon has iron/hot air combos that include any tip you want for any situation at around 40-45$. I picked one up to work on cell phones. Thank you for the content!!! Looking forward to see more videos from you.

[@overclockist]

also if you are still reading this, lead based is superior in a high shock variable temp environment avoid silver solder

[@bryansosagomez8297]

Don’t even have a Miata yet but can’t stop watching these videos

[@jackflynnstone7698]

Seeing an upload from Donut, EngineeringExplained and Creiageie in one night is quiet the sight. Hella pleased

[@trunksbriefs8434]

I don't have an NA or even a standalone, but dang, I still absolutely love the intro!

[@jamessmith8284]

I am a firm believer that you have the most dedicated and awesome fanbase and your potential if you did KZbin full time is really really high.

[@tommyboy1two]

Ricer Miata needs your help with his megasquirt lol

[@TheWhiteBruceLee]

These more frequent videos are much appreciated. Do more please. I swear. Even if it’s just slapping a new sticker on the car

[@dewizle5026]

You need to mount the map sensor vertical or near vertical with the nipple pointing slightly downward especially if you are going to use it to measure crank case pressure you want anything that might get into the sensor to drain back down into the engine not stay in the sensor cavity. Good video btw.

[@-DUTCHY-]

You can also use that second map sensor as a barometric correction for altitude mountain driving.

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

I don't believe that's really needed because the fueling should just be based on whatever pressure is in the intake manifold already

[@-DUTCHY-]

@@TheCarPassionChannel true. The megasquirt samples the main map sensor on startup to set the barometric pressure. However once running cannot adjust this, so if you were to start at sea level and drive into the mountains your fueling would be out and visa versa. Obviously a good mod for say pikes peak. 😁

[@Doink420]

6:12 yikes 😬😬 Awsome mod man!🔥🔥

[@ninokri]

I would really like you to measure your exhaust manifold pressure now :D

Dude you make FlyinMiata turbo owners (me) look slow. Stop it lol. But seriously good work man

LMAO when the mustang road by lol get off my turf. I'll let it slide lol 7:19

[@dr3wize]

Hey man, great video as ever! I'm looking to do something similar to my Miata running a microsquirt, apparently there's an MS canbus library for Arduino now which gives a bunch of I/O and the hardware needed is super cheap! (IIRC there's already a canbus module out but it's $60 and I'm cheap hahah) I don't have spare I/O for launch, flat shift etc so gonna work on it over winter!

Hey, its my boy! Greg Peters

The sketch bit to me is the Gas soldering iron. They have their place, off road/racetrack repair kit. Not in a house/workshop (with power)

Aayyyyy more Miata Dad

[@38tech]

But what happened to that valve cover....it was soooo nice.

[@michaelbarefoot6334]

First, great video bro! Second, can you do one where you replace a MAP sensor? several times now has a MAP sensor gone bad on both mine and my friends boards. They read, but read 80-85kpa at below sea level (102.1KPA).

[@cats.cars.33]

Hmmm, imma guess it's for E-Map/Exhaust or manifold pressure gauge. I actually just made a contraption to be able to do that.

[@furikuri005]

OMG the valve cover!

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

Oh no, the spray paint came off what ever will I do 😅

Here comes Greg with da hackz again, noice

[@shrimp562]

Your valve cover was so clean looking and now it's kinda crusty. Is that from engine heat?

[@ff9nu]

Hey Craig, can you run a MS3 Mini on stock injectors as a first install? I'm after the car stats for now since my EU NB 1.8 does not have OBD. And later looking into 230-250hp turbocharge

[@BigBenlolz]

Oh god what happened to your beautiful valve cover paint? :O

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

3 years of turbo heat, lol

[@BigBenlolz]

@@TheCarPassionChannel RIP :(

[@mattbergstrom3362]

Great info, just out of curiosity is there a reason you didn’t use the MAP pin, is it being used for something else or does it not work for that sensor

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

You mean the pin for the on-board MAP sensor?

[@mattbergstrom3362]

TheCarPassionChannel options pin F

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

@@mattbergstrom3362 Ah yes, because on the board you have to install a jumper that can activate the internal, or external MAP sensor input. That way the ECU knows which to look for. You cannot hook a MAP sensor to both and use them simultaneously.

[@jakenuno9900]

Anyone selling an MS3 Plug n Play or DIY kit? 🤔

[@notsogreat123]

I have a big question for you. How do you get away with all these mods to your engine with California's strict emission regulations ??

Not gonna lie, I cringed a little bit when I saw you trying to solder the wire to the PCB. I did work like that for well over a decade and a low wattage iron is super important if you don't want to lift a pad, or burn out a barrel.
