brian-- these are tri point made from the stock gears,where did you get them,tri point doesn't list them?

 

[wicked]

the SR motor ones are close to $400,way to much for them,they should be closer to half that.

 

[Paul]

i wouldn't even pay 300 for them

so what was ur problem paul?

so what was ur problem paul?

? w/ the cam install?
i messed up the woodruff key and pushed it too far in by not lining up the hole on the pulley w/ the keyway hole on the gear

UPDATE: car runs like s*** now. I was backing out of a parking spot last night and the rpm's dipped on me and almost died. I didn't think anything of it.
Well today on the way to work i stopped to get some food and when i was backing out of the spot i heard the turkey, louder than normal.
she feels like she wants to stall. and if i give it a rev under 2500 she almost dies.

this happened before but i turned the greddy type s to a harder setting and she's been working fine for a few weeks. Should i make the spring harder on the greddy?

i think several people are having problems with open BOV's...i'd get a recirculating bov and drive it for a few days to see how that works out

 

[Paul]

but the stock bpv is recirculating. and it's been driving fine for a while now. i dont get it

 

[stdntDrvr]

i can't speak from experience, that's just what i've heard. do a search and see what you can come up with...i know i_boost had problems with his greddy type-s. he said that it would try to stall on him.

i know this thread is dead but FYI
I was one of the first to do a JDM cam swap to my 1st, 1ST msp. My car was fast, VERY fast I had several other mods on the car but that made the biggest difference. i ended up blowing up the car and am not sure what did it finally but the cams made a huge difference. I believe it was what made the car so fast to begin with. I have thought about putting them back in my new msp but am worried about the effects. Just be careful and listen for anything out of the ordinary. These cars can be so so fast jsut watch for people who have done it before.

please blitzd, that slow orange turd was a pos. my p5 could take it

did u do the mazdamotorsports exhaust cam too?

I don't understand how JDM cams or the japanese mazdaspeed camshaft which came on the FSZE can make a huge difference on a FI application?

From what I know those cams were designed to function better for NA applications and besides the FSZE/Mazdaspeed cams are really mild and specs-wise don't hugely differ all that much from our stockers (I believe the lift is the same and duration is slightly increased??, correct me if I am wrong).

I think those cams will give probably give you a good 5 whp at most untuned. With a good NA tune maybe you can see the ballpark 150 crank hp that comes on the FSZE (don't forget the FSZE has higher compression). I don't know to be honest.. that would be cool though if they did make power on a FI setup..

that is wierd. maybe you have an EGR valve issue? I had a problem with mine and had stumbling and stalling.

Thats alot of valve overlap.
