Does anyone know Stock PSI of CX-7???

(cool), thank you, I just put a Turbosmart BOV and thats why im asking. Im putting boost gauge next week and want to make sure everything is working smoothly. About the, FMIC, downpipe, or Cobb AP the only thing I know is downpipe and I;m not sure who makes it but I would imagine it would be from the same maker who are making Exaust/headers for these motors.
What is FMIC and Cobb AP?
I noticed you have a BPV what is the difference between BPV and BOV?
 
Max is 14.9. Boost will vary depending on certain parameters.

1. Temperature at the MAF sensor
2. Temperature at the MAP sensor
3. Gear (1st and 2nd are limited to less than 10psi)
4. Fuel (Low octane/quality gas will trigger knock sensors, leading to ignition timing pulled and lowered boost)

Expect to normally see around 12.5psi to 14psi...

Non made for FMIC yet for our car because its bring bad turbo lag for our cars from what i heard. but they do make TMIC for our car. ETS top mount intercooler i recommend i have one and feel lots of differents compare to stock. Second for down pipe go with CPe or corksport that's also exhaust they special on our cars. Just make sure you dont get ETS TMIC with quickpipe Cpe or downpipe without re-flash your ECU because you definitely get fuel cut once you pass 15psi and its not good. Hope this helps
 
Doesn't the car need to make more power before the intercooler makes a difference? What do you mean about reflash? Is there a computer/chip I can buy for this car?
And thanks for the PSI advice. Is 12.5 - 14 with TMIC or OEM? I put BOV and want to make sure im not dipping under or spiking to high.
Note: I think the BOV makes the car feel more responsive and if you dont have one I highly recommend Turbosmart BOV
 
stock bov is junk.......turbosmart bov sound gay...only the HKS or SYNAPSE are the beast..!!!
 
i dont think cpe makes a downpipe for the cx7. only corksport. whick sucks cause i want a catted downpipe. the cobb ap isnt available for the 7 yet but ive heard that they are slowley working on one. im thinking of working with a shop to make a water/air intercooler. shouldnt have to worry about turbo lag then. im gonna ask him about making a kit for others. also thinking about taking the turbo from a speed 3 or 6 and swaping it in. i know the engine can handle it. we'll see
 
hks valve is awesome. never had an issue with it on my speed 3. i think the rkm is the same thing even has the spots for the hks logo.

First off this what i did with my upgrade stages
1.Forge BOV because stock ones leak and only max 11-12 on stock but forge got me 13.5psi max
2. NRG voltage Stabilizer constant voltage power
3.Cpe Xcel CAI- improve power and torque
4.Prosport Electric boost gauge
5. Scangauge II
6. ETS Tmic ( Throttle response improved, no turbo lag, Intercooler stay cool, more power on car and torque and increase psi im pushing 14.9-15psi max
7. Greddy catch can (soon to be Installed)
8. Quick Y electronic cutout (soon to be installed)

And regarding of re-flash ecu go to Cpe website or protegegarage.com they have the info for it.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the detailed response but now I have even more questions then before. Hope you don't mind.

NRG voltage Stabilizer constant voltage power? Is this like a grounding kit?

Scangauge II? What is this and where can I get it?

Cpe Xcel CAI- improve power and torque. What is this? Is it exaust?

I just got a boost gauge it is vaccum and boost, I will keep you posted on what I'm sitting at. I just need to get the pod and find a nice place to mount.
Thanks for all your help
 
is not a ground kit if need more info about it go to NRGinnovation.com.
The scangauge II info go to scangauge.com
the Cpexcel CAI is an Cold Air Intake design for our cars and adds power and torque.
 
sorry man to many abreviations. I heard the cold air filter gets wet so im gonna do the HKS Racing Suction.
Thanks for all the sites and info I got alot of reading now. Really appreciate it.

Thank you,

Chico
 
thats why you get filter hydroshield. I have mine for almost 6 months now with know problem just dont drive on 3 ft deep of water and youll be fine
 
good to know but i already ordered the HKS. I hear it is just as good offers more low end torque then top end power which will benifet me better
 
HKS makes the "Racing Suction Intake" very short intake, supposed to give more low end power then top end which is fine with me because of the line this car is a lemon
