Haha I know exactly what you mean — the “just in case” parts pile gets real with these cars. Mine’s already a Mazdaspeed Protegé, so it already has the MSP suspension. I did consider grabbing them just to have another MSP-specific parts on hand, but I was trying to keep the ticket low. I mostly...

Junkyard Update – MSP Parts Run Made another run to the yard today to see what I could pull off the Mazdaspeed Protegé. At this point I already have a large portion of the MSP-specific parts, so a lot of what was still on the car would have just been duplicates (Not saying that's a bad thing)...

I actually have most of the MSP-specific pieces already, so a lot of that stuff would just end up being duplicates for me. I did scoop the sub box with the original MSP woofer and amp facebook find, so that part is already covered. I also already have better OEM seat covers and all of the...

Oh man, they really are a blessing lol. That was actually my first big junkyard pull. Unfortunately that was my only free day. If I can get back next weekend, I’m bringing a stronger impact and finishing the job. I definitely made it too easy for the next guy. And you’re right, you’ve gotta be...

A nice update and a super score at the junkyard. I was honestly getting tired of the search for another transmission and started reconsidering just building the one I already have. Decided to check the local yards to see if maybe an MSP popped up… and sure enough, there was one 15 minutes from...

Fuel System Plan – Return Style Conversion w/ Jay Racing Rail Since I did the whole post about my thought process on Boost Controllers  and how I decided. I thought I would put this here also. Keeps the thread alive and keeps me planning and buying parts. Since I’m running the Jay Racing rail...

Man I appreciate that. I agree, with a good LSD and clutch the trans shouldn’t be the wet noodle people make it out to be. I just know these G-series boxes don’t love shock load, so I’m trying to build around smooth torque instead of just sending it. Maybe I’m overthinking it a little, but I...

Boost Controller Decision – Greddy vs Boost Leash Alright, this is going to be a long one. I’ve been really thinking through boost control on this build, and I figured I’d write it out instead of just bouncing ideas around in my own head. Maybe it helps someone else going down the same path...

Ten years collecting parts and knowledge is no joke. That’s real dedication. Life definitely has a way of shifting plans on us, but the pivot always seems to end up being the right move. Appreciate the love on the Mazda. This “new heart” has been a long time coming for sure. And trust me… when...

Man… today was a good day. Got myself a birthday present and it showed up, lol. Fedex just dropped it 30mins early and said peace 😆...I was watching that package like a hawk at work. Honestly… I couldn’t have found a better person to buy this from. No games. No weird energy. No “trust me...

Man… it’s been way too long since my last update. Life has been busy as hell and this build is moving much slower than I ever planned. Definitely thought I’d be further along by now, but here we are. Lately I’ve been bouncing between finishing up the SSAFC wiring and getting the wideband O₂...

Always loved those hoods. Any update on the build?

Nice build. Can't wait to get started on mine. Cool to see a 1.6l being built, looking forward to the first start up video.

Man oh man, so happy I got this to add to the build. Scooped up this Boundary Pump fast. The gears are also coated. Cleaned her up a bit on the front and backside.

Maaaan, Jay really came through! Simple email and Bam. The WRX injectors will work nicely 😁 from yours truly and trusted @323

Hell yeah, I'll make sure to scoop one of those if I go that route. Always coming in clutch with the information. I noticed a guy selling a Boundary pump, only 1400 miles on it. Hopefully he comes through, much better than buying a new one. 40psi idle/80psi 8k.

Lol, I'll never forget noticing the psi drop when I was testing out my new skunk coil sleeves. Found it?

Haha, I think I'll go the Boundary oil pump route at 60psi. Not really sure about running the DOC-B, with all the lines. I did run the OEM pump on my mp3, I can't really recall having any major issues with it. Maybe some inconsistencies in psi. I do remember it dipping when accelerating...

Got a response from Sam on the Boundary Oil pump. Thought I would put it here to help others in the future. " It’s a small operation over there. Not sure the coating is worth the fee. You wouldn’t too high is also just as bad as too low pressure. They increased the redline to like 8k or...

So really what's next on the list is a 505 zoom intake manifold and oil pump solution. I've looked everywhere for deep info on the the Boundary Oil pump ( shims, coating, and setup in general) not a lot of info. I would say the same for Doc-B. Nobody really stunting the setup in pictures. Also...
