Who'd be interested if we made a new MSPNP for your cars?
We're planning to get our MSPNP development going again, and we're contemplating building new MSPNPs for Mustangs and other cars. But before we start spending anything on R&D, we wanted to make sure there's a market for this. So, here's what we could make you guys, and what we'd be able to sell it for.
The next generation MSPNPs will be based on the MS2 processor - enough power to get a good feature set, the codebase is pretty mature so we won't miss out on many new features if we start designing things now, and it'll allow us to get this built at a low price so we don't end up pricing the thing into AEM territory. This should be great for 5.0s and 2.3 Turbos; it's possible mod motors may be better suited to some possible future MS3 based product. It's going to have a feature set that is similar to the current MSPNP and DIYPNP, although don't be surprised if there's a few new features you haven't seen in existing DIYAutoTune.com products. It will plug into your existing wiring and give you full control and real time tuning for your fuel and timing maps. Some other things that will be on it:
Closed loop boost control
Two step rev limiter
The ability to remove your air flow meter / mass air flow sensor
4 bar MAP sensor (good for 44 psi of boost!) plus real time baro correction
Possibly the ability to upgrade to a distributorless ignition using EDIS or an AEM EPM (still need to work out a few details on that one)
CANBus connections for future upgrades, such as logging multiple EGT inputs
Like our current MSPNPs for the Miata, this one will come with top notch base maps on CD we've developed on our in-house dyno, an in depth manual for how to install it and tune it, and will have our full tech support department behind it. They'll be put through in depth testing under load. And like all our standard catalog items, we'll have them in stock as much as possible for our "super speedy ninja fast shipping."
These will be priced somewhere around $800. This is about $100 more than the initial price of our first MS1 based MSPNP, but we're hoping this will be considerably more than $100 more ECU than our original design, too.
So, who'd buy one if they were on sale now, at that price? And for what model?

Close. It would replace the stock ECU with one you tune from a laptop, rather than program the stock ECU. Similar idea but a very different way to accomplish it.
