What have you done to your MSP today?

I was able to work on the car before any schedule jobs this morning. Used and air compressor with gauge to activate my waste gate as it seemed to be stuck closed boost was way up there but ecu would say no go. It's on frozen now and my gate starts to open at 5psi and is fully open at 15psi. I also tuned my maf clamp to be fully engaged before the 8psi safe guard.

Sorry my friend
Any number lower than 14.7 is heading towards rich. Fewer parts off oxygen per part of fuel.
My car was running lean on the dyno 17:1 and they would not do another pass.
Glad you got it resolved sorry for the bad luck.

I'm quite familiar with a/f ratio since prior to the MSP I would tune all my cars myself. For a turbocharged car under full load I would tune for 11.5:1. This is considered safe power. Yes you can run leaner at 12:1 but without being able to monitor knock and adjust timing I wouldn't risk it, specially on an MSP. Plus as stated above Calis 91 oct fuel is garbage.

Gabi is right, under boost 12:1 is a pretty aggressive tune. Stoich is 14.7:1 but that is only desirable when the car is not in boost and for N/A engines. To make power and do it safely you are aiming for 11.5-12:1 in boost.

I just post ninja'd myself lol
 
Good to know my cars ECU is doing a good job I'm staying in that safe range under boost then

Well yeah the stock ECU will keep it safe under boost, too safe actually. Wait until you get a tune and lean it out a bit, the car will scream

I can't wait to get my unichip from Pope.
But I need a second speed to put all the upgrades on. My daily will stay stock with body damage and all.

I might just sell my msp in the future. But I'm not 100% sure. Mike called dibs though but ill keep both of you posted.
 
I have a laser blue she'll with my name already in it. But I got to figure how to transport it.

It seems most msp are on your side of the coast barely any left over here in California, that's why Im having such a hard time selling mine. I have two buyers coming to see it Saturday.
 
Finally got around to fixing my AC fan control problem where speed 2 and 3 didn't work. Pretty easy fix. Wonder why I waited so long.
 
Anyone know Evil MSP personally? Guy has been giving me the run around. Sold me an AC compressor, turned out to be the wrong one. Not the style that comes on the mazdaspeeds. He happened to have that style in stock and was suppose to ship it to me the same time I shipped the other one back. Mind you it cost almost $80 to send it back to Canda. Well the other compressor never showed up. He told me he had spent a week in the hospital and he was sorry. He'd get it shipped and had already had it boxed up with my name on it. Another 2 weeks go by and nothing. This time its blamed on his logistics guy and he just offers a refund of the $77.55 I sent him originally. I agreed. Havent recieved it. Started a paypal dispute and its now a claim. Still no response from him. Argh

Its ******* hot down here in Alabama! No PS doesnt help either#
 
I'm so feed up with my speeds miss behavior that I am going to unhook the waste gate!...and not reconnect until I have a unichip.

The car had been sitting in the garage collecting dust for probably a few months but then my DD got a flat tire (caused by a huge bubble in the sidewall) so I decided to drive it while waiting for my new tire to arrive..

Ugh now I love that stupid car again.






I would still sell it if someone gave me a reasonable offer.
 
I'm going even further. The load on the engine dropped so much after opening the wastegate I'm going to put in a protege MP3 ecu and cold air intake.

Soooooo....... ****!!!!!! I went to go replace the two rubber exhaust hangers on the msp midpipe and once again the car wont start. Wtf!!! Did I just blow another fuel pump relay? I did touch the secondary 02 sensor cable to move it out of the wy and that was it. Any ideas. The msp is being an ass!
 
my msp and ms6 sit. working on some custom stuff for the msp before i can finally put the motor in. probably stay fsde until the ms6 is done and making the 550-600 hp it needs. then kldet for the msp

The relays themselves shouldn't fail, the fuse will blow first.

That sounds cool, how much power can the KL make? I'm all for engine swaps but personally I don't understand the KL swap trend. You can make the same power with an FS for far less money and it will be just as reliable if not more so, not to mention parts are more plentiful and cheaper. And you avoid the headache of wiring everything to work.
