    Jeff's MSP GTR Build

    of course the day after I put my winter rims and tires on the car I pull the trigger on a new set of summer wheels. my fiance decided she was unhappy with the oem rims on her mazda6, so I gave her my 17" mazda3 gt wheels, bought her some brand new all seasons and then picked these rims up for...

    it is a built in feature of my megasquirt setup. here is a link to the company that builds them with harness adaptors for plug and play applications. If you are interested in a MS unit contact Lex on feoa.net or clubprotege.com I run MS1 but it looks like they do MS2 plug and play now too for...

    Jeff's MSP GTR Build

    im on my 2nd EGT trans in 2.5 years. When this one eventually goes out I plan to put in the bullet proof toyota e153 FWD transmission using my nice adapter plate. Hoping to do the trans swap at the same time as the GTR bottom end. That will pretty much wrap up the project. Not sure when that...

    MZR in MSP, P5 or Protege?

    looks great but theres still a lot to do from what you can see in those pics. is that a speed motor or just a n/a 2.x? are those just the old pics from the last person who tried or are these pics from a project thats still going?

    MZR in MSP, P5 or Protege?

    I have also seen one in a 90s civic hatch with full awd swap and everything done nice. must be crazy also fyi if my memory serves me correctly, years ago someone from this forum already tried to do a ms3 swap...and failed. maybe dig up their old thread to find the details. pretty sure it was...

    MZR in MSP, P5 or Protege?

    and im not saying it cant be done, im just saying you guys saying stuff like "its easy" and "its not that hard" makes me lol you guys make it seem like an average joe with a $25 tool set, a set of jackstands and a spare friday night working in his driveway that a MS3 swap is "easy" I mean wow...

    MZR in MSP, P5 or Protege?

    what is your definition of "not as bad"? nothing is plug and play with the ms3 and the msp. nothing. that means it is hard. easy is plug and play. like your KL swap. plug and play and well documented by plenty of other people. and you guys seem to forget about the potential firewall issues.

    MZR in MSP, P5 or Protege?

    a "s*** ton" of fabbing means it is not easy. there is no plug and play solution for anything to do with the swap. Easy means everything plugs in/lines up. The swap is not "easy" or everyone would have done it. Just cause it can be done doesnt mean its easy by any means. It is probably the most...

    MZR in MSP, P5 or Protege?

    having swapped a motor from a different gen mazda into my speed here is some things to consider. 1. can you even line up the drivetrain with the wheel assemblies without binding an axle from having the engine too far forward or does the firewall get in the way (very real possibility, from what...

    motor build?

    owning one myself i would agree with both of the above statements about the red top. if you are building a track car maybe leave out the red top and look for something lighter. I just use mine for street driving so im happy with it for the price(they go on sale for under $200 every now and then).

    BOV and WGA Vacuum question

    the vac source must be tapped on the intake manifold, tapping on the intake tube will not work as the tube is on the wrong side of the throttle plate.

    straight pipe?

    on a non turbo car its loud. keep in mind a turbo alone provides around 1/3 of the silencing requirement for most. I have had no cats on my msp for over 200,000kms and its not that loud at all with the stock muffler. add a fart cannon and ya it will be loud and raspy.
