Re: mx3 and mx5 cpu
why?
fuel maps would be off (mega rich, anyone?)
you don't have adjustable cams
timing might be off, but it might still run
you don't have VICS
bottom line, there would be no gains, losses if anything. Now, if you had a BP, then you might be onto something.
"magical performance chips" don't exist, this includes using an ECM that wasn't designed for your car. Maybe if I put a Ferrari ECM in my car it could go 250mph
It would fit if from the 1st gen Miatas.

Re: mx3 and mx5 cpu
LOL, we're all being jerks. It won't work, and is pointless. Get a megasquirt if you want an upgrade. Or if you really want the best upgrade, get this. You just may have the smartest car on the planet if you do.

Actually.. a 4cl does have VICS if he has a DOHC.
