Mazda 323 GTX MegaSquirt Install

“Power is good, more is better, too much is just enough.”

By Ethan Ott for SpitfireEFI.com

/// Introduction

I finally acquired my GTX about two years ago after passively lusting over this rare beast for many

years prior. I never thought it would come to pass, but by chance it just fell into my lap. As all GTX

owners know, the handling is impeccable –

likely one of the best handling cars I've owned

– and the power-train is certainly peppy, but

leaves significant room for improvement in the

go-fast department.

Needing a distraction from my regular, long

term car project, I decided to give my GTX a

kick in the butt.

The plan was to go through the motor, upgrade

the turbo, free up the exhaust flow, ditch the

restrictive MAF, and fit a MegaSquirt

controller to deal with twice the normal boost

levels.

/// Scope

This write up is intended to severe as documentation of my project and act as a guide for others looking

to do similar work. I think those following along at home will find the technical details surrounding the

MegaSquirt (MS) setup and tuning the most daunting, so that's where I'll provide the greatest detail. To

that end, I plan to cover MS board and version selection, circuit mods, wiring, and tuning in as much

detail as possible so that this can serve as a reference guide for others.

The final setup completely removes the stock ECU and restrictive MAF unit. The MegaSquirt unit

controls all fuel injection and spark advance, as well as the fuel pump, and uses the stock coolant temp

sensor. In addition, MegaSquirt run closed loop boost control (@20psi), closed loop idle control on the

stock idle valve, and the stock turbo boost light. With the addition of a wideband oxygen sensor, the

motor is running closed loop fuel control at part throttle for increased cruising fuel economy. The

engine is tuned and runs 20psi at 12:1 AFR on the stock 350cc injectors.

Though I made quite a few modifications to hardware components, I will only cover the modifications

necessary for the MS conversion. Brake upgrades, turbo manifolds, intercoolers, and plumbing mods

have all been part of this project, however I feel these tasks have been discussed at length elsewhere,

and are not integral or necessary for a MS conversion, and are thus out of scope for this document.
