Boosted ES

[Doodsmack]

Got my car back from Wagner Motorsports today (upyours). Got a Mazdaspeed turbo conversion, including the side-mount IC so its totally sleeper. Included in the install is the MSP radiator/a/c condenser, exhaust mani, and turbo, custom t-6066 aluminum hardpipes, injen CAI, BEGI RRFPR, and some other goodies.

Car goes back Tuesday for full 3" exhaust, turbo timer, AEM wideband, and some dyno pulls . Right now my MBC is set to stock boost but its creeping up to 8 psi..any idea why this is? Just because the larger diameter pipes are flowing more air?

What does you EGT Read on the highway at 65 MPH?

Not positive that I looked at it on the highway at all, as I was only on the highway for very little time today, but when I was cruising around on back roads in 3rd and 4th it would sometimes hover around 1200. Why do ya ask?



I got most of the parts from here on the forums, used from other members. Over the course of about a year I was able to collect them all.

Very nice sleeper.

You gotta move those gauges, though. It gives up the surprise

if your curious mine is around 12-1300 at abt 65... around 85 on the freeway it jumps to 1300 ish......just thought you would like to know.

very nice es. i liked it when i had the stock front end....nobody knew what was going on when i beat them.......

In my opinion you should leave it as a sleeper and as a clean sedan, lower it more, get some nice 16x7 wheels with a low offset, good tire, and F@#k your car will be the s***.....

I was thinking I would get MSP springs (or something that lowers about 1") and paint the stock wheels black. Just have to figure out how to do the painting.

Lol yea, I was tryin to save money here and there. The only other option would be to get Leadfoot's bezel and a steering wheel pod, which is a bit more. Couldn't do any DIN panels because I normally have my carputer screen in the other DIN.

niceness.. that's exactly what I plan on doing.
your car now is a definite improvement over the pics on your cardomain site.

 

[Protege52003]

that looks nice....how many miles on your engine/tranny/clutch?

-R

 

[Maz94Protege]

Man its my twin and idol. so your using the block and head too fom the MSP or using you stock FS-DE engine. Looks nice and really clean, do a DGMOTORSPORTS Engine cover, be reallly sweet with the MS logo inside of the center.

Exactly what im tryin to do with my 01 ES, mines silver too!

Awesome man. I should have a supercharged sleeper Silver ES soon.
I'd go for Espelirs. I bought the MSP springs used but sold them b/c they don't work in the back very well.

Here are Espelirs. 1.4" all around (but I have a bunch of stuff in my trunk which has dropped the back a bit).

 

[Prodigy]

Espelirs have the perfect drop. The turn-in is perfect as well.
The springs feel just about stock all until you start turning.
I'm running the same set-up as SilverBulletES. (in the pic below too!)

Tire size makes a HUGE difference in appearance.
The pic below is with Espelirs with 205/40R17 tires.

verses the pic below with 225/45R17 tires.
