Here's how to go about loading a basemap into your new ME221 ECU - in this example it on an OEM MX-5

when the job is good, nowbody can say the opposite. Definately going on with me221 for my turbo rebuild!

Nice :) Look forward to some videos of the install!

Great video, definitely going to get one soon...I'm after an itb setup. I was wondering, how safe are the ignition tables on the basemap? Will you be able to race the car at all before you tune it on a Dyno?

@MotorsportElectronics 5 жыл бұрын

They are pretty safe but we would never recommend hard use until checked by a pro! :)

I’ve just installed the ME221 ecu, followed the checks and base map instructions; however, it did not go as swiftly as this. Idles but doesn’t run at all and stalls. Anyways, the car will go to a tuner, as recommended, but will not be possible to drive there with me221 installed.

What are the power gains that you are expecting to get out with the right tunning?

Nice video, and will be waiting for more! Will be getting one of those soon! Is there an option to auto-correct the tables live, as found on the tuner studio?

Yes the new MEITE V1.5.9 has live autotune - check our Facebook page for a vid of it in action!

Would a straight through serial lead work, eg connecting to a toughbook laptop with a built in serial port.

Hey, does the me221 work in all mk1/2 mx5s? I have an mk2. 5 1.8vvt which I'm turboing, but could i just fit any me221 and change the basemap myself? Or are the ecu plugs different? Thanks!

Where do I wire in my electronic boost control? As I have removed my charcoal canister and i believe it's something to do with the purge solenoid

Yes use the purge solenoid wiring (or any other spare output)

Patrick Rubingh Hey mate I had this same issue - mine was to do with a wire on the back of the ECU - it should be connected to the second to last pin, not the last pin as it was shipped. Had to re-solder the rear - to the second to last pin & it connected fine.

Hello, I want to swap an 1.9 VVT engine into my 90 mx5. i would still like to use my factory cables. is there any option which u would recomment me that i can realise the VVT swap and make it as easy as possible? best regards

@MotorsportElectronics 6 жыл бұрын

Yes, our ME221 8995 variant still offers full VVT control - you ust need to wire the solenoid ionto the AUX port of the ECU :)

@Miatasun 6 жыл бұрын

Hello, thank you for your fast response :) do you have a manual or a thread, that everyone can do this? or maybe u can make a video because i guess this is an interesting thing because vvt swap for na is pretty nice and maybe popular too in my eyes. you would help the community so much :)

On that generation of ECUs it was used to communicate with the ECU. We now use USB.
