    Haltech E6x w/ PnP Harness

    Selling Haltech E6x with PnP Harness Already Wired. $500 Had to sell my MSP due to moving so I'm selling my Haltech that was never installed. All you get is what you see. I don't have the software CD (get it from the Haltech site) or anything else that may have gone with it. Purchased about 5...

    Vacuum Leak When Fan running

    Hey all, discovered a weird vacuum issue the other day and wondered what it could be. If the fan control is turned off, I pull ~20hg of vacuum, sometimes a little less. But if I turn the blower fan on (no AC, just vent) I drop to about 14-16 and the engine starts idling ragged. Turn the fan...

    03.5 MSP Odometer Swap

    The speedometer in my MSP got "sticky" where it would jump between 45mph and 60mph depending on how fast you were going, not giving a good, gradual, needle sweep indicating speed at certain ranges. So, even though minor, I decided to swap the gauge cluster, thinking I could swap the PCB without...

    HKS SQV VTA vs. Recirculate

    I just had a HKS SQV v4 installed in my MSP and it's currently hooked up to VTA. I have the Injen CAI hooked up in SRI configuration, and the mechanic attached the recirculation line from the old, stock BPV directly. (so the intercooler recirculates to the hot side of the CAI directly with no...

    Gauge Pod Options

    I have 3 gauges, all Innovate Motorsports XD-16's that I need mounted. I tried the A-Frame pillar option but didn't like it. I thought I saw somewhere a cutout or mod for the over radio compartment that could be used to mount gauges, which I think I'd like to try. Does anyone know if this is...

    Gas/Fuel smell when engine is running (and shortly thereafter)

    Hey all, got my MSP out of storage and getting it road worthy. Had it tuned up by my mechanic and one of the things I had them look at was the gas smell when the engine is running. The EVAP is fine, the line pressurizes correctly, and there are no leaks in the system. The mechanic said he...

    02 sensor bung thread tap

    Ok, so we're replacing the 02 sensor on an 06 2.3L and after throwing out my back and knees, finally got the OEM sensor out. Looking at the threads on the old sensor and the bung, it's in pretty bad shape, so I want to chase a tap through there to clean up the threads a bit before putting the...

    2006 Mazda3 2.3 O2 Sensor

    I'm trying to replace the front O2 sensor on my brothers Mazda3 and am having a heck of a time trying to get the part I need. It's the 2.3L model and has a 5 wire O2 sensor harness. Most of the sensors I can find that look like they'll fit are like $400 bucks a pop. Is that correct? That...

    Haltech E6X Trigger Setup

    You guys running E6X's on your FS-DE engines, how did you setup your triggers? Did you use the Mazda A preset, or the Motronic? Can you use the Motronic setting without modifying the engine, or do you need to swap parts?

    Front Calipers

    My front calipers are shot, and I know when I went to replace the rear ones I found out they were unique to the MSP, is it the same for the front ones? I found some at the parts bin online and they say they fit all Proteges which makes me wonder if they know the difference. (if there is one)

    Rusted Rotors

    Trying to replace my front rotors and they are FIRMLY rusted in place. Soaked with a penetrant (Seafoam makes one, not sure how good it is) heated with propane torch, beat the crap out of it with a sledgehammer, fastened a gear puller to it and cranked it down tight and those bad boys are still...

    Overboosting

    Was testing the car Saturday and noticed that the boost isn't holding at 7PSI like it should, I saw it reach 10psi in 2nd and 12psi in 3rd. This is a brand new ATP WGA with less than 50 miles on it. Hooked up my MightVac hand pump to see if I could get the rod to move, pumped it up to 20psi...

    What connector is this?

    I pulled my front bumper to get the FMIC off, and noticed an unconnected connector sitting there. There's nothing dangling nearby, so I'm not sure what it's for. I know that the previous owner had a Unichip, and the wiring is a royal mess because of that. This is located on the passenger side...

    Window goes down, but not up

    While trying to figure out why my battery keeps draining, I did something to my power window that I can't figure out. (It was working fine prior to fiddling with it) On the driver side all the windows go down and up, EXCEPT the front passenger. The window will go down, but not up with the...

    Odd Lugnuts

    Ok, I went to swap tires/rims from my P5 to my MSP yesterday, only to discover that the Konig Rims on the P5 use a wierd (unique?) lugnut. It's not hex shaped like "normal" lugs, it's almost circular with grooves cut into it. A normal impact socket will take them out, but then the socket is so...

    Problem After Installing 505zoom Intake Manifold

    Ok, finished my "build" in that all the parts are installed and the engine starts. As soon as you hit the key she starts right up and pulls a good 20hg of vacuum, which rapidly detoriates to about 10 with the needle pinging back and forth so rapidly you can't actually see it due to motion blur...

    FMIC mounting bolts

    The original owner of my car had the intercooler 'secured' by zip tying it to the condenser, but now I'd like to actually mount in to the frame. The intercooler has mounting tabs that line up perfectly with the little holes used to attach the lip trim to the frame, but all of those are missing...

    Radiator Room

    I'm installing my steedspeed + GT28 turbo and need to replace the radiator. Which radiators will fit with the iON intercooler? I don't want to get something only to find out it doesn't fit well, or have a hard time getting it in. The corksport radiator is nice but I had a heckuva time getting...

    Turbo Woes

    Ok, I'm posting this in here instead of the P5 forum because we probably have more people with turbo experience than in the P5 forum. (but I could be wrong) Anyway, I have a Flyin' Miata Protege turbo kit. Long story short, while trying to remove the oil feed line to replace the inboard water...

    SPAL Slimline Pigtail wiring

    Ok, got some SPAL slimline fans to fit in the engine bay after the corksport radiator install. Not wanting to royally booger something up, my plan is on the first harness crimp the yellow wire from the stock fan plug to the red wire on the SPAL harness. Then ground the black lead from the SPAL...
