I had this on my car up until about 3 months ago. My ECU took a shizzle and I had to get a donor ECU from MazMart. I choose to get the Racing Beat ECU flash to disable the immobilizer instead of getting the ignition and keys from MazMart. I explained the circumstances to Maurice and he said the OEM ECU failure would not have affected the programming on the CZ unit.
The unit is 'as is' located in 91701. Piggy back only. No CanScan.
$100 obo + shipping or pick up local and save shipping.
If you have any questions or need clarification, just ask and I'll do my best to answer.

As best anyone can tell, no. I described the events to Maurice and he says the CZ had nothing to do with it. Not an entirely unbiased opinion I'll give you that. I will say that I had the CZ on the car for nearly 4 years and never had so much as a CEL related to the ECU until it failed 3 months ago. I 'casually' mentioned the piggyback to Jim at Racing Beat when he was flashing my new donor ECU and he agreed that chances were slim to none that the CZ had anything to do wiht the ECU failure. So why did the ECU fail? No one seems to be able to answer that. Not even a dealer (Tustin Mazda). All they could do was confirm that the ECU needed to be replaced.

you should update it to cz2 but the gains really depend on the map you use, not much on the ecu itself :)

F-R04: The car's never been dyno'd so I don't have an exact gain number. Seat of the pants though it pulled harder and longer in 2nd.
Blowinup: No.
