Black box can be dismantiled.You can use the newer solenoid valves(the hold up to 17 psi) with the 93 harness by using the 96 harness connectors.

Really, the black box isn't that great. It's a sealed unit - if one solenoid in there goes bad, you have to pitch the WHOLE thing. Also, the check valves are built in as well - when they go bad (we know how lousy the stock check valves are) once again you have to pitch the black box.

To accomodate the box, Mazda added the plate on top of the motor that everything bolts to, re-did the metal fuel and coolant lines on top of the motor, re-did the turbo's oil feed, altered the coil packs - TONS of stuff.

I just don't see it being worth it. Stock solenoids are the way to go.

FDNewbie found it for me....thanks captain Ramy my hero. Yes it was tuned by Feed (mostly base mods) It should be okay until I get a real tune anyway.....
I'll post progress pics once I get the harness and everything done.
