What you actually want to know before you put money down. Anything not here — email us and a person who works on the board answers.
| Which adapter do I need? | Goes by year: 1991–93 (all SOHC/DOHC/TT), 1994–97, 1998–99. Just tell us the year and model — we ship the right one. JDM GTOs: tell us the year and we'll confirm the connector family before anything ships. |
| Will it run my stock car? | Yes — that's the point. Stock injectors, stock coils, factory optical crank sensor, factory ISC idle stepper, factory sensors. It ships tuned for stock and you drive it. |
| Will it run my built car? | Bigger injectors (high-Z or low-Z), coil conversions and COP, big turbos, E85 and flex, external MAP past 2.9 bar, 2-step, boost control — all on the same board through the expansion connector. Tell us the build in the form. |
| What about the E15 fuel change? | The pump is moving from E10 to E15 nationwide, and higher ethanol is hard on 30-year-old fuel systems. MANA runs flex-fuel natively, and our E85 / flex-fuel kit gives you the sensor and hardware so the car tunes itself to whatever's in the tank. |
| Do I need a tuner? | Not to start and drive: your unit ships preloaded and validated for your configuration. For big builds chasing numbers, the tuning link is open — your tuner uses our software, and closed-loop auto-tune does the VE-table grunt work. |
| Automatic transmission? | MANA replaces the engine ECU only — your factory transmission controller stays. Manuals are validated first in the founding batch; the TCU handshake (torque-cut during shifts) is characterized on a real auto car for batch 2. Auto reservations are accepted now and carry over in priority order. |
| My factory harness is shot — can you help? | Yes. We build brand-new replacement engine harnesses to factory spec, per generation, for cars whose 30-year-old wiring is cracked or gremlin-ridden. Made to order — ask for a quote. |
| When do I get it? | Founding units ship in build order after the first unit proves itself on our own '92 Stealth R/T — bench validation, then first start, then the founding batch builds. We publish progress as it happens instead of promising dates we can't control. Your money back any time before your unit ships if you don't want to wait. |
| What if it doesn't work in my car? | Founding units get direct support from the people who built them. If we can't make your unit right in your car, you get your money back. Full warranty terms publish before general availability. |
| Can I go back to stock? | Any time. Unplug MANA, plug the factory ECU back in. The harness is never modified. |
| Is my data locked in? | No. Your tune is yours, datalogs export as standard files, and the SD card is a normal SD card. |
| Street use? | Sold for off-road and motorsport use. Not certified for emissions-controlled vehicles on public roads — see the fine print on the store page. |
MANA is built by NextGear — and the first car it has to satisfy is mine, a '92 Dodge Stealth R/T that's been in the family for years. I got tired of watching this platform's options shrink while every other platform got spoiled. The firmware is written from scratch for these cars, the hardware is designed around this platform's actual failure modes, and unit #1 goes in my car before yours ships. Progress gets posted publicly — the good days and the debugging days.
