Ben, im gonna politely disagree with you and pull out the flag ![Bsflag](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/smilies/bsflag.gif)
Unless I am missing something, if his motor is a 94(1.8), and his throttle body is a 94(1.8), that throttle body should bolt right up to his intake manifold, and the only thing he should have to figure out is a couple wires.

A variable TPS as far as I understand always has a ground, a 12v/5v ref, and an output voltage (and a throttle closed switch on 1.6 tbs and likely 1.8 as well). I would expect that connecting the correct wires and tuning the tps (getting closed and open ADC) it will work in the same way as the 1.6auto tps.

haha
OK, I'm a *****. Yeah man, bolt that ****** up. Wiring's in the manual. Plumbing should be easy enough since you've got the 1.8. You'll want to start with the idle control and closed loop idle control settings from the 94-95 mspnp.
Sorry I missed that originally, would have saved a bunch of stupid posts.

Uhh guys from what i read the guy has a 1.8 and is wondering how to hook up the variable tps to his 90-93 mspnp. The link you gave him shows how to do that though. I dunno where you guys are getting that he wants to swap a 18. tps onto a 1.6? Well damn i gues i need to read all of it before i post next time.
