HarryForeman Posted April 16, 2023 Report Share Posted April 16, 2023 Hi all, Was just about the pull the trigger on getting a plug and play G4X for my NA MX5, however I'm guessing that there isn't one for it. It's a '96 1.8 and has the 3 PLUG ECU (pictured) I can see that the NA plug and play one is for a 2 pin, and I'm going to take a guess that the 3 pin non-facelift NB ECU also wouldn't work. Does this mean my only option is to get a 'generic' G4X and wire it in? Wiring is not my cup of tea so would rather avoid it if possible. Kind Regards, Harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koracing Posted April 16, 2023 Report Share Posted April 16, 2023 The only direct link option would be a wire-in and making a custom adapter harness or direct wiring it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted April 16, 2023 Report Share Posted April 16, 2023 The NB1 is a different pinout than the 3 plug NA and we don't have a specific plugin for the 3 plug NA. It isn't uncommon to repin the 3 plugs to work with the 2 plug NA plugin, I have done this myself on a friend's car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryForeman Posted April 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2023 Thankyou both, that has definitely cleared up the situation for me. Was looking into the plug and play for the convenience and time/cost saving. However it'd probably be better to save up a few more pennies and get the wire-in, take the time to make an adapter loom and then have an ECU that's more transferrable if the project car changes.
