Hey Vic, I check here every now and then. I still remember you (I'm not that old). Glad the car was an inspiration to someone. It's just too bad I couldn't do more with the motor/turbo/engine mgmt. setup. They wanted more show than go and the budget was limited. -Shawn

Werd.

Hey Everyone - Any TX Mazdaspeeders have one that you're willing to sell? If so, please let me know. Thanks. -Shawn

Anyone - If you have one you're willing to sell, please let me know. Thanks. -Shawn

Werd. I'll be there.

Locals don't have to pay shipping, so the price will be $10 less. The rest of the TX guys can have these for $5 less.

Wow, no TX proteges need these? Still FS btw.

Hey Everyone, This is a heads up for all the Texas protege owners who may not check out the For Sale forum. I'm selling a set of brand new Bosch 42 lb/hr (440 cc/min) fuel injectors here. I'm sure there are a few Houston and DFW guys who could use these. Thanks, -Shawn

mspHtown - I got a call from Jason on Sunday about a guy he talked to with an MSP who wanted to know about EMSs and such. I'm guessing this is you? He gave me your number, but I don't think it was the right one. When I called it yesterday, the voice mail message had some guy with a hispanic...

O.K. - For the sake of comparison: Here is the same Mitsubishi TD05-16G (Large) Compressor Map posted by TurfBurn with the airflow requirements for an FS motor operating to 7000 rpm using an 80 % VE, shown at various Pressure Ratios: I added the PR of 2.4 (17.88 psi) on this map. It...

O.K. - This might be getting a little off topic, but I'd like to bring it up anyway. Here is a GT28RS Compressor Map with the airflow requirements for an FS motor operating to 7000 rpm using an 80 % VE, shown at various Pressure Ratios: Here's the calculation I use for Pressure Ratio...

O.K. - To avoid confusion, here's the formula I use to calc. engine airflow requirements: cfm = [(Engine Displacement)*(VE)*(RPM)*(Pressure Ratio)] / 5660 Taking the numbers from the chart above and solving for VE will give ~76.6 %. Although this formula over-simplifies things a bit (by...

FYI - Based on that chart, a VE of ~76.6 % is being used. -Shawn

I bought mine at a Sears Auto Center. It was the only place in town that had a Group 35 in stock. -Shawn

Spooled - Our factory battery is a Group 35. I just bought the Group 35 Redtop and it is the same length and width as our factory battery. You will need to use the 3/4" thick plastic base that comes with the battery to make it the same height as our factory battery. Perfect fit and the...

With the trigger angle set to 48 degrees and the timing locked to 10 degrees, the timing mark on the crank pulley lines up with the 10 degree mark on the timing cover. -Shawn

I'm still running the Haltech. The values at 60 kPa (8.7 PSI) are as follows: RPM - Map3 Map2 0500 - 12 --- 12 1000 - 12 --- 12 1500 - 13 --- 13 2000 - 15 --- 15 2500 - 16 --- 16 3000 - 16 --- 16 3500 - 16 --- 16 4000 - 16 --- 16 4500 - 16 --- 16 5000 - 17 --- 16 5500 - 18 --- 16 6000 - 20...

Guys - Remember to take into account that the probe motor in that thread is the 2.5L V6, not the FS. The timing values are going to be different for the KL vs. FS. -Shawn

13.0 psi - 269.2 whp / 281 wtq 13.5 psi - 274.2 whp / 286 wtq 14.0 psi - 279.2 whp / 291 wtq

If the dealer installed the turbo, take your car back and have them fix the problem.
