Singular Motorsports ECU Brackets
Posting a teaser, just finished the final version up and we'll have these available very shortly.
ECU Bracket for the 90-93 miata
Update: for sale! Singular Motorsports Miata ECU Bracket for Miata 1990-1993
We feel these are overdue - the factory ECU mounts in a protected area in the footwell, but this location has no flat area to offer a good DIY mounting area, and the ECU wiring length limits your options for how far you can move it. We've seen some seriously poor excuses for mounts simply due to the lack of a good solution.
This bracket places your aftermarket ECU in the stock location under the factory kick plate. The hole patterns included in the bracket cover most of the popular ECUs for our cars.
Here is the prototype installed with the kick plate cover removed:
Will update with a link as soon as these are in stock!

I'd like to eventually have a solution for each of the various year's ECU locations where mounting a universal box is problematic. 99+ is probably the next on the list as I have one of those sitting here.
These ECUs cost a substantial amount of money. DIY Autotune's mounting "tips" suggest zip ties and sheet metal screws for lack of a better solution. Unacceptable in our opinion. Most other ECU mfgs just avoid the topic all together.

So what about a Rev box? They don't have any flanges sticking out, so the only real option is zip ties. I suppose the easiest solution would be zip tying it through one of the hole patterns on the bracket?
Also, any idea on price?

Mine is wrapped in metal strapping which is bolted to a A-frame made from scrap alu strips. The whole contraption is then bolted to the stock three places.
But better design would make less strain on the harness and the connectors on the other side (it's big and the ABS makes it impossible(?) to mount sideways).
Damn you Ryan, now there is yet another thing I have to be ashamed for...

Sounds like I should get to work on the '99+ version
I'm sorry... but I'm also not

We've done that in the past too. Better solution than sheet metal screws into the car, but I'm still not personally a fan of cutting up the glove box and losing storage space in a DD/street car. I've also seen more than once MAP lines getting pinched from opening/closing the glove box and then having running issues.
This allows for the cleanest bolt-on install, eliminates headaches, and has no impact on the limited storage space in the car.

I must be an idiot because I don't understand how you could get the factory kick plate to fit over this? I'm out of town right now so I can't take any photos, but my Rev MS2 is a tight fit between the floor and the kick plate. With this bracket jacking the whole thing up a few inches I can't see how you could bolt the protective kick plate over it.

Maybe its ok to add $150 if the ECU costs $2,000 to begin with, however I don't see it happening on a $500-$900 ECU. I would rather add $150 of awesome features rather than brackets.

Look at the installed pic in the first post. The kick plate fits over that. MSPNP, MS3 Pro, AEM EMS-4 and Adaptronic all fit under there using this bracket. I can't speak for Reverent's ECUs because I don't have one on hand nor do I have measurements.
Since the Rev boxes don't have mounting tabs, designing an add-on piece to bolt them to the bracket would just be a matter of getting one in my hands for a day.
