Ehhhhhh,its ok I guess. B3 would be much better IMO.

^ That is so incredibly cool!

This is a very neat project. The way he ran the distributor, well, damn lol, that's clever and very out of the box. Adding that one to my box of potential tricks

Hi 'ya folks,

The G10 and B3 Miatas are my projects. I was really surprised to find this post.

Anyway, I'm going full speed on the B3 project and I have reached the point where I'm doing the ECM wiring.

I really haven't updated the thread after the transmission gear swap because most of what I'm doing right now is experimenting and I don't want to post the wrong information. Once I get things sorted out the thread will be updated regularly.

As some of you might know the Factory service manual and the supplemental electrical manual suck. The electrical info lacks any functional description of the sensors. Things like the TPS only show the device and the color codes... no description like reference voltage or signal ...

Anyway I'll post some question in the right area. Hopefully I can sort out this mess soon.

Welcome! We been sneakin over and watching what you are doing..Some on here have
access to pretty good info, you might post your year , model, engine for all vehicles involved..

Hi 'ya Movin,

Would this thread be a good place to ask a B3 ECM related question?

The engine and ECM are from a 1993 Festiva.

I'm trying to splice the Festiva TPS connector into the Miata harness but I hit a dead end.

The manual gives the color code of the TPS wires.. however I also need to know the function of the wire.

ECM location 2L is a yellow wire but is this wire for the signal or is it reference voltage?

ECM location N is a yellow/Blk wire... reference or signal?

I figured out the Black/blue wire... ground.

Any help would be awesome!

fujioko: in the quest for fuel economy what made you go small displacement gas rather than seek out a diesel? Someone the other day posted a 'for sale' ad of a 1980s rear wheel drive Isuzu (same diesel as installed in GM Chevettes apparently). That's a lot of work you're doing and I'm impressed it's not the usual 'how big a V8 can we stuff in there' -type project.

Hi Bert,

I was never a big fan of diesel engines. I had a chance to drive a Rabbit diesel and didn't like it. I drove a huge Mercedes non turbo diesel with an automatic and hated the car. The Mercedes might have been OK if it were manual transmission.

The engine swap thing is sort of a hobby and I saw the three cylinder car as an easy winter project.

The overall success of the three cylinder car has evolved into the Festiva powered Miata.

All of my project are done on a budget. I don't spend a lot of money because I'm doing this stuff for fun. I purposely keep my expenses low because that is also part of the challenge.

I have a very technical background and access to almost any tool I need. I have built everything from oddball motorcycles and battlebot type robots. The one thing I have learned is stuff gets expensive real fast.

I suppose If I were going to do a diesel project it would have to be cheap and I would need a running doner vehicle. Perhaps I should check out some modern VW engines.

A deisel swap I have seen a lot in jeeps and stuff is a cummins 4bt. I was going to try to stuff one in a festiva with a miata trans but I'm not going to try for a long time. Your work is amazing though.

You have a little of every thing in the thread I would place it as general
but I'm just a nube around here. If this turns into computer stuff we should have a repair NA conversion thread..Here is a little festy stuff.
do you need the miata pin out ?
