All in good time....Quik89Si said:
Thanks Chris!FC3s Boy said:
We will be tuning up to 15psi on the dyno. That's the highest I want to go and the highest it's safe to go on 91 octane. We could tune higher, but that starts getting dangerous. That's one of the great things about the Haltech, is one map is good for a range of psi, in my case 8psi-15psi, and all I have to do is a turn a knob to adjust my boost and the Haltech responds accordingly.mx3ownzj00 said:
At some future point we will tune my map B for 100+ octane and 20+psi

The piston coatings are working as advertised.
I have never heard forged pistons in person before, so I couldn't make a comparison from personal experience, but the guys at SPD said the car runs much quieter then other forged installs they have heard. The noise isn't bad at all.

I think the stock transmission should be fine. The only component I would worry about would be the differential.

we'll see how it holds up. If not I can upgrade that to. I believe there is an aftermarket protege limited slip that will hold the higher power.

Yeah there is.....also Mazda has "updated" the unit also. It is supposed to be stronger because they were having to deal with too many broken ones.
side note- They made the carrier stronger by making the lsd weaker (if that makes sense). They got rid of the springs putting tension of the clutches, now it uses PFM instead of spring pressure. It looks like an open diff.
