No worries, just give me a shout when you need it.
Don't think my engine's going to be back in any time soon at this rate though

No it's an S12X. I did debate whether to use an ARM or not, but I'm far more familiar with this particular chip and decided it was going to be quicker and easier for me to get it up and running with it.

Have to admit it did cross my mind to sell a few if there's any demand
I might well be looking for beta testers at somepoint if you're interested

That sounds cool, I can alpha/beta test when you get to that point and maybe even help with coding it if you need it. I'm a programmer, mainly web, Java, Objective C etc but I have dabbled in ARM development and written some PIC stuff here and there so pick most things up quickly.

Excellent, I'll give you a shout when I get a bit futher along.
I know what I'm doing on the embedded side, but a bit of help might be useful on the user interface

Ha ha, I thought you might be
Do you know which ECU you've got? It should have a label on it saying something like B64F or B63H.
I think they changed the ECU on the 1.6 around 1994 and I don't know if this will work on the later ones.

There is a possibility you could switch to one of the earlier ECUs.
I've heard it's possible with a few small changes to the wiring loom

I've got the mazda wiring diagrams, I'll have a look tonight, it may just be different pinouts on the ecu?

The pinouts are almost identical between the early and later 1.6 ECUs:

No mine is a B6 (115bhp) not the later (BP 90bhp).

Only real difference there is later cars had sequential for emissions, not batch. I think mine will be the same as yours. Pretty much.

I'm confused too - I thought the B6GP was the ECU for the 90bhp version

Is there any chance you could pop the lid off your ECU and take a photo of it's innards?
