So cool they have the PNP version now. I wired mine in manually some 3 years ago piggy backing the stock ECU so all my gauges would work as they should etc. Now you just swap ECUs and that's it. Amazing.

You re making it very hard not to buy one. Great product at a good price (Malcolm can get you one cheap) . I'll probably order one from him this week......sigh.......it's only money.

would you mind posting some info on how everything goes after you install it?

I am a post and picture whore of course I will! It is circling Atlanta right now so probably get it in tomorrow and install Friday or Saturday.

Did you just get the ECU or did you also get the gauge and wideband?

I just got the ECU for know as I have a Wideband Commander already installed. That being said I may be pulling all my aftermarket gauges here soon as the lighting on the crapped out over time. Back in the day the Lunas were the bomb now they are lowest on the totem pole.

What I did for widebands with the MS3 was switch to Zeitronix. The reason was they support data over CAN which is digital. So no more 0-5 volt analog signal that's all over the place and always providing questionable readings in the logs/ECU that doesn't entirely match the gauge itself. With a digital setup if the wideband is reading an AFR of 11.2 and sends that digitally over CAN to the MS3 you can be sure the MS3 will receive a reading of exactly 11.2. It's a beautiful thing.

I went with dual ZT3 units which both feed over CAN and the MS3 understands exactly which cylinders are coming from which unit (dual bank).

That's why I was planning on getting the Innovate wideband with the MS3. I assumed it was a dual set up to support the closed loop operation. I'm guessing I was wrong about that.

Are you going to be selling the MS3 as well?

Last I checked the Innovate widebands only supported analog 0-5 volts and not digital CAN. Unless that changed? CAN is a far superior way to go.

Yes I've been selling MS/MS3 based products for several years.

I don't know if its CAN. I'd have to check. I was thinking of going that way because I assumed it plugged in and all that since they offered it as part of the MS3 Pro. I was just looking for the least amount of headache to get it running.

Is it possible to use low impedance injectors with this ecu? ID1300s are like 1800 lol, looking at maybe running the Holley 120s if possible.

Thats one of the reasons people like it. It can run high and low impedance injectors.

what Slow984now said. You can run high or low impedance. If I run High it will most likely be FID 1300 or FIC 1200 as they get super reviews and half the cost of IDs.

I swapped the computer out and it was super easy. hope to have it running tomorrow.
