Does anyone sell a completely PNP for RX7

I searched and either missed it or it doesn't exist. Does anyone sell a completely Plug-N-Play Megasquirt setup for fuel & ignition either prebuilt or complete kit?

By that I mean all components needed including the MS3, Relay board, wiring harness, everything needed to get an RX7 running completely on MS in one nicely bundled package.

Yes, we sell them, although we're still working out a couple of production problems (getting them produced fast enough is the main problem, getting connectors is the other).

We'll have another 5 on sale very soon though.

Great I don't mind waiting, especially for the convenience of getting everything including a harness in one package. It would be for an 87 RX7 NA with headers and exhaust that would eventually get a full rebuild and aggressive street port. Would want fuel and ingnition controls and will be using premix for sure. The car is strictly for SCCA Autox Prepared class right now so I don't have to worry about running pollution controls.

We don't sell a harness, we just make an adapter that connects the MS to a stock harness. The adapter is a board with 2 connectors soldered to it.

I can live with that also. Would make my installation work a lot easier.

this route is easy, but both me and a friend tried it with only limited sucsess. Apparently the MS is more sensitive to noise (shitty wires) than the stock computer... we both had to end up makeing new harnesses and whatnot b/c of bad RPM signals.

I would eventually want to do that also, but for initial replacement I think that just plugging into the original harness would be good for me. That way if I can't get the car running in my allotted down time I can slap the original cpu back in place and hopefully not miss a race.

I've also been researching ways to deal with the crappy stock harness causing noise... as my own car has this problem, and I've got it to at least reliably start now without fixing my harness. Sometimes it takes a while to get sync, but it works.

Literally the main thing that usually causes this is having corroded ground points, or old ground wires, or both. Sometimes an old starter can cause the problem too.

Fixing those usually fixes the problem.
