Tri-Phase Performance Module for 1990-2009 Mazda Miata

Reviewed by None  •  Be The First to Review This Item



Editorial Review :: The Tri-Phase module utilizes a triad of operating parameters that enable the user to select their desired performance level. The Tri-Phase functions by intercepting sensor outputs, modifying them, and outputting them to the vehicle's onboard computer. The Tri-Phase module is also compatible with most popular performance upgrades such as aftermarket intake, exhaust, and ignition systems, low boost forced induction systems, lightened and/or underdrive pulley kits, grounding kits, and many others. The Tri-Phase enhances performance in multiple ways. First, it modifies signals being read by the ECU, causing an adjustment to the fuel curve, which is what creates the increase in horsepower and torque, as well as improves throttle response and shift speed. When the ECU sees these modified signals it provides a different set of fuel and ignition maps than it would under factory operating conditions. A second feature of the Tri-Phase is it's "High-Heat Signal Correction." In short, when the engine compartment heats up, some sensors that relay pertinent fuel curve contingent information to the ECU begin to lose accuracy due to heat absorption into the sensor. The ECU then reads these incorrect signals, and leans out, or otherwise incorrectly alters the fuel curve, which hampers performance. These errors cannot be corrected from within the computer, there must be an independent unit to correct these errors. The Tri-Phase is designed to automatically compensate for these signal errors. Additionally, our easy to follow, step-by-step instructions will allow you to get your module installed in about 20 minutes, even if you don't have any mechanical experience.

Mazda Miata MX- 5 Performance Projects

Reviewed by Rick Bowers on 2009-08-03  •  Reviews (18)  •  Read Full Review

This is where Keith Tanner really shines! He has a way of explaining very simple to very complex projects that almost any Miata owner can benefit from. Some may find a few of the projects too simple (like explaining to the nube how to do their first oil change) but the book has plenty of more complex projects for those willing to take them on. When my wife accidentally "recycled" my old copy of this book, I promptly ordered a new one to help me through removing and replacing the head (for a valve job).

Editorial Review :: The Mazda Miata MX-5 has been a popular car among automotive enthusiasts for more than 15 years, and hardly a single one of the more than 700,000 sold has not been customized by its owner in some way. This book provides specific how-to instructions through 41 projects that include both maintenance and modification procedures for all cars from 1990 to 2005. Each project is treated separately, giving readers very specific information about the commitment in time, tools, money, and talent for each project.

G-Box Gold Series Performance Module for 1990-2009 Mazda Miata

Reviewed by None  •  Be The First to Review This Item



Editorial Review :: The G-Box Gold Series works on the same premise as the original G-Box, however the Gold Series module utilizes a more aggressive set of operating parameters. The module functions by intercepting sensor outputs, modifying them, and outputting them to the vehicle's onboard computer. Even though the parameters of the Gold Series module are more aggressive than those of the original G-Box, most users are still able to attain significant performance gains without the use of premium fuel. The Gold Series module is also compatible with most popular performance upgrades such as aftermarket intake and exhaust systems, low boost forced induction systems, lightened and/or underdrive pulley kits, grounding kits, and many others. The G-Box Gold Series enhances performance in multiple ways. First, it modifies signals being read by the ECU, causing an adjustment to the fuel curve, which is what creates the increase in horsepower and torque, as well as improves throttle response and shift speed. When the ECU sees these modified signals it provides a different set of fuel and ignition maps than it would under factory operating conditions.
