nice ride...!...but if i go turbo then i have to build my motor first..?...ive emailed MAM and was going to order the stipper kit but ive talked to a few people and they recomened to build the motor ....???...

ya turbo it, the best time u could ever get on a mp3 on a n/a is like 15s... mayb mid i remember someone hitting that. but n/a isnt worth it, just go turbo route its the best route to go if u want fast.

...will be fine as long as you keep the boost around 9psi or under. As soon as you cross the magical 10psi mark, magical pixies will enter your engine and remove the rods in a magical and violent orgy of mechanical death.

Actually, now that I think about it, the Stripper isn't intercooled. Check with MAM on how much boost you can run through it.

I'd keep the stripper to 7 psi or so. no more than 8 unless you add the intercooler upgrade, or do something similar like water injection or something else exotic.

 

[MP3Architect]

the stripper is still a t28 though right? so at 7psi you'll be faster than the stock mazdaspeeds

Keeping in mind that my internals are all stock still......

I've been running on a stock motor for over 2 years now. It can be done if you do more then an FMU/clamp setup.

FMU clamp setup?? whats that?? (Yea, I know it seems if i don't know anything) I'am knida of new when it comes to turbochargers and their componets,,fuel manangement what ever.....

You joke, but that exact same thing happened to me...minus the pixies.

clamp = small resistor thingy that tricks ECU into thinking that the AFR is a nice 14.7 and is activated by vacuum pressure.

FMU = per every X amount of boost, adds X amount of fuel.

I don't know exact $ figures, but I am willing to bet he spent more then if he just turbo'd it in the first place.

probly. I just think that it is unique,dont you? Not tryin to bag on boosted members, just sayin that you can hit at least 14's N/A

 

[jaredbzoom]

is the stripper kit that MAM offers, is it a FMU/ clamp set-up,? or is that what the MPI tuner will take care of????
HEY GUYS THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP!!!!!

 

[Bigg Tim]

I don't believe there is any fuel needs with the stripper kit, that will be for you to get, that's why it's cheaper.

 

[jaredbzoom]

See i've been emailing beau at MAM, i believe he said that if i went with the stripper kit, that i would need the MPI Tuner.....?? HAs n e 1 installed the stripper on to MP3??? If so tell me about....Was it hard??? is there any weird tools that I may need???so on, and so fourth.....
