What have you done to your MSP today?

[StealthWyvern]

rolled 89,000 mile. filled it up. 31.921 mpgs.

How in the hell do you guys get such good gas mileage? I road down to Orlando from jaxs with SCMP3 and I followed him and still don't really get the mileage he gets with similar mods.

That's not too bad of mileage. I had a friend with a P5 with full MSP setup on it, and he would average around 36 on the highway.

Anyone know the size of the rear sway bar on a MSP (in MM)? Thanks

 

[Ricktalife]

20mm.

Or should I just go with that used turbo for $300 with 45K on it...? Other than the boost gauge what 2 others would be a good idea to get....

wideband o2 and oil pressure

Quick question guys. I've had the valve cover off of my car for a while now.most of the time it was covered up, but not 100% of the time. Should I fill it with oil, drain it after 10 mins, and then refill with oil?

Im used to 24/25 around town.. still waiting on this tank for the low fuel light to come on but it looks like it might come on around 330ish if i had to guess instead of the normal 260-280 per tank.

wideband o2 and oil pressure

okay, thanks, wasnt sure if it was oil presure or temp... or if air/fual presur/temp was worth it either... and Pro sport is fine to get right? thats what i got for my boost gauge .

 

[Maiello169]

Yeah so the wideband gauge is pretty $$$$ ..... aahh anyother than that lol

Just averaged 26mpg on this tank highway. Grant it thats going 80mph and not the speed limit almost the entire tank.

Have buy a new turbo remember... Kinda really short on cash and $200-$400 for a gauge is much.... What about an air fuel ratio gauge ....?

A narrow-band AFR gauge is pointless as anything other than a lightshow. If you don't have the money, just save up and buy it later. You can pick up a decent wideband for $150 if you shop around. I have an AEM in my basement that will be going in when the car comes back out in spring.

 

[Ricktalife]

You can get a quality wideband for $200 or maybe $220 max if you shop around. AEM and Innovate are both good quality, but I got a Prosport for about the same price and it works well IMO.

Okay so matter what get the wideband, save my pennies till I have enough to get it lol

If you have any intention of tuning the car sooner or later, then it is required, and its really not a bad thing to have regardless, especially on a car like the MSP.

 

[Maiello169]

Okay, ill just have to save up for it then , thanks

 

[jbrewer4639]

yeah i had prosport they are very nice looking. I got the electric premium gauges
