D5

Together with a brick or any other 2D analog ECU you could possibly chock both sides of the front wheel in your ser.5 and stop it from rolling away. That may be the only use to you to run fuel only without the AFM on your Mazda. Considering the price of a new LT is considerably cheaper than an engine rebuild, you sense of economy is a little off.
Regards-Anthony

They were good when there were no other options avaliable, now i wouldnt even consider one, if you want the fuel only and dont want to spend a lot of money get a MT4, dont waste your time with a D5...

Alright, I do have budget constraint and this is why I'm interested with the D5, I know nothing about the D5 and I just hope it work well better than the stock ECU.

to be 100% honest i would stick with the stock ecu if it is in a 2nd gen, the D5 is adjusted by screwdrivers to adjust the amount of fuel, very rough,

how much is this person asking for the D5??

$900au it is costing you???? dude dont waste the money, you can get a MT4 for a bit less than that. they retail at $795au, very very easy to wire up and tune, spend the $150or so more and get the MT4 you will be much happier with the results,

Hi Dale,
Appreciate your help, If you could come early to me. I have installed it yesterday... They charge me Aus 700 for everything after the negotiation. I have run the D5 now in my car... It is much better now comparing to the stock ECU. I'm satisfied but it may not be good comparing to the MT series. Thanks for your offer. Anyway I'm from Singapore.
