505zoom's complete MSP buildup (no 56k)

lol, around I guess. I really haven't been on the mazda forums in ages. A mutual friend told me you have an intake mani project so I figured I'd log on to check it out me thinks you need to shoot me some pics of it ;)

I see a few of the original members are still around, but I guess its hard to find us amidst 50,000 subscribers... I was pretty shocked to see that number on the home page. s***, I remember when there were less than 100.

I'm currently rockin' 15psi on my AEM controlled 8:1 CP/Oliver forged engine with no ill effects other than the fact I need to adjust the tune a tad for this friggen cold weather. Speaking of which is anyone even attempting to or currently running an AEM anymore? I've had basically no problems with mine, although its not exactly the cheapest option out there.

Good to hear man. Yeah lots of noobs around these parts. ;)

As far as I know, nobody else is running the AEM. I think tekkie was going to put his on, but I haven't talked to him in awhile. Tony sold his, not sure who it went to.

I'm still working on a couple things with the intake manifold, so I don't have any finished shots of it yet. There is a thread with some material pics in the msp engine/performance/fi section though, you want to run one? ;)
 
I dunno, possibly. I always figured I would go sheetmetal intake eventually, but as the mod list got to as large as it ended up I'd have an aneurysm trying to remember them all over the course of 7 years of ownership.

I saw a couple of the pics in your thread and its lookin good so far, so thats nice to see. I certainly wish the best luck with it.
 
Thanks bud, depending on Sander, it should be tested here real soon. Going to run a GB on it after the results are in.
 
nice nice, certainly the best way (and safest for you) to go about it as we at the mazda forums have certainly learned over the years. I'd certainly be interested in hearing about your results (even if I disappear from the mazda forums for another couple years, haha) when you get it all hacked out.
 
Ryan whats up man. I wish i could've gotten my car to run as reliably as yours with the AEM, but no such luck for me.
 
Ryan - I'll give you a ring tomorrow.

Kaiser - No meth kit as of yet. Might snag one from you guys depending on how well the IM sales go.

Jeph - How have you been man? lol this is some O.G. reunion s*** up in here. :p
 
I've been pretty good, don't post as much obviously. Glad to see your car is still running. We really need to get together and play some golf.
 
Awesome, Amazed at how much work you put into this. thank You for taking the time and energy to display it on here. I basically am stock on a MP5 2003 but take alittle from every thread and someday will start on mine not as intensive as you but FUN!!! Thanks Steve Robin MP5World
 
Thanks Max and Steve, I appreciate the kind words.

Here are some teaser vids of my new setup...

In car, ripping through second, and then most of the way through third:

What a gentleman. I read through your whole thread man and couldn't be more impressed. Bought my 2003.5 MSP a couple of months ago, and it was at that point I started getting into all this. If I had all those mods on my MSP, I can't help but wonder if I would slow down or speed up if I noticed I was getting pulled over...
