how much boost with this setup?

[03MSPRO]

my car is flashed.

mods:

Spool FMIC
Spool CAI
Ion exhaust
93 octane
colder plugs

I know for a stock flashed MSP, I should not boost more than 9 psi, but since the bigger FMIC and exhaust help cool thing down would I be able to boost 12 psi safely?

try it and be careful and let us know how it is running

 

[igdrasil]

isnt 10psi good enough?

What happens if you run over 9psi on a flashed car? Is there anyway to unflash it???

 

[jred321]

as high as you can get without getting knock/detonation. but i would vote for less than 9psi, just to be safe.

03MSPRO - given you can remove the boost cut, we've been able to safely boost up to 14psi up here ~ 3/4mi above sea-level on cars equipped with our stage 1 FMIC, CAI and turbo-back system. This is on 91 octane fuel. Boost controller was an APEX-i AVC-R

nope i haven't heard of anyone able to go back to the orginal ecu programming. you could trade maybe with someone.....

iON - 14psi...thats good boost

i need a msp ecu damn!

anyone in mazda wants to sell me one?

discreet is boosting 12 psi daily and his is flashed. his is lightly modded. but probably i'd prolly run 9 psi to be safe until you can get some kind of fuel controller.

Is that on a flashed car?

I think I have the "mod bug"!!! Maybe I'll settle for 10 psi, but 9 psi is only like 2 psi over stock, right?

 

[BlkZoomZoom]

with "only" 2psi you can run well in the 14's.....isn't that enough for daily driving??

 

[DiscreetSpeed]

i would do 15 and go after some srt's with no sweat.

 

[Striker187]

hey discreet, you ever race that red srt4?

 

[iON Performance]

03MSPRO - yes that's on a flashed car. The car before the flash was able to do ~ 17psi before running off the compressor map.

 

[Striker187]

impressive ion. were you using anything to detect detonation?

 

[iON Performance]

Striker187 - knocklink + a good set of ears

 

[igdrasil]

iON - wow 17psi?

With some talks here with the fastest P5 (microtech tunned) in PR, he told me the stock rods will go south @ 18psi. thats on a T3 or a bigger turbo.
Can you tell me about that knocklink unit? I been thinking on getting the msd knock detection unit.

igdrasil - 17 psi @ ~ 3/4 above sea-level is ~ 16psi @ sea level.

The knock link is a good "just-in-case" device. It can be set to quite sensitive levels so that it'll light up at any sign of knock. We use it alot when tuning Subarus which have noiser valvetrain then Mazdas.

A cheap DIY knock sensor is using a microphone, a small amp, and a set of head phones. Listen with your own ears.

How much is the Knocklink ? and where I can buy it ?
