This product is a plug-in ECU designed specifically for the NB8A model MX5 / Miata (1999 – 2000 model, no variable valve timing, fixed headlights). It’s a direct plug-in to the factory wiring and allows you to expand the system to use all the features of the 440 ECU. It also has the built-in regulator for the alternator. It does not drive the output for the immobiliser so the immobiliser light will flash on the instrument cluster, however the immobiliser function will still work to prevent the starter motor and fuel pump.

| Can connect M&W UEGO, TechEdge, Innovate LC-1 and TC-4 on secondary serial port | |
| Knock input | High impedance input, filtered |
| Throttle position (TPS) input | 0-5V (5V supplied by ECU), 2-point calibration |
| Auxiliary digital inputs | 8 inputs, each configurable as active-high or active-low, 12V tolerant inputs |
| Actuator Interfaces | |
| Number of injector drivers | 4 |
| Injector driver waveforms | Full sequential |
| Batch | |
| Semi-sequential every period or semi-sequential every second period | |
| Half/third/quarter speed full sequential | |
| Fire all at once every cylinder 1 (as on Swift GTi, Alpine Renault) | |
| Optional batch fire during cranking | |
| Injector driver current | Optional constant current or peak-hold drive, selectable steady-state current of 0.5A, 0.9A, 1.5A or 1.9A |
| Number ignition outputs | 4 (using 4th channel disables aux output 1) |
| Ignition output waveforms | Selectable as firing on rising edge or falling edge |
| Ignition output type | Open-collector with 560Ohm pull-up (allows direct connection to OEM transistor or separate igniter box) |
| Number of auxiliary outputs | 8 (or 7 if using 4 ignition channels) |
| High current outputs | Max current 7A (or 3A inductive), 3 of these PWM capable, PWM frequency selectable (23Hz – 2kHz) |
| Low current outputs | Max current 200mA – suitable to drive relay coils |
| Control Characteristics | |
| Map points | 512 cells per fuel/ignition map, dual maps which can be toggled with digital input. |
| Load determination and Tuning Modes | Optional Volumetric Efficiency Tuning |
| TPS or MAP based | |
| TPS using 2nd map as MAP backup | |
| MAP using 2nd map as TPS backup | |
| Both maps MAP or TPS, digital input to select | |
| MAP and TPS map, digital input to select | |
| MAP and TPS map, use MAP on closed throttle, otherwise TPS | |
| Use max/min/average/sum (MAP, TPS) | |
| Read TPS from map and multiply by value in MAP table | |
| Injector pulse width resolution | 0.7µs (0 – 44ms) |
| Ignition resolution | 0.2° (0 – 51°) |
| Dwell time resolution | 0.1ms (0.1ms – 5ms) |
| Dwell time reduction for high RPM with high dwell time | |
| Accelerator pump | TPS and/or MAP based (configurable proportionality) as well as asynchronous accelerator pump. |
| Works with TPS pot or switch – pot gives better performance | |
| Fuel control strategies | Open loop, closed loop, and two adaptive modes (requires EGO sensor) – can run open loop above a specific MAP if required, target AFR can be set across rev and load ranges. |
| Flex Fuel capability (requires fuel composition sensor to be fitted). | |
| Fuel correction | Trim tables based on Coolant Temperature and Air Temperature, Dead-Time correction |
| Ignition control strategies | Trim tables based on Coolant Temperature and Air Temperature |
| Idle control strategies | Open loop values with a 32-entry temperature table |
| Target idle speeds with 32-entry temperature table | |
| Idle effort correction for air temperature | |
| Idle-up functionality based on A/C request, electrical loads, power steering | |
| Can adjust ignition timing for closed loop idle control, as well as various types of idle control valves (2 wire, 3 wire, 6 wire stepper, and 4 wire stepper using an external driver available separately) | |
| Main loop speed | 400 Hz (approx) |
