I lost to an MP3!?!??

[appler]

That's good sh*t.

 

[Kooldino]

so good luck with you new car and treat it well, you are one of the select few that has the power of the zoom (no tribut's don't have the zoom, its just an add campiangn)

Actually, Tribute's run 15's stock.

 

[big_ben]

That's just too funny.

smp3000 that is the best looking pic have ever seen that is some ass ............ wheere did you get that pic?

 

[PortCityMP3]

Jeremy what psi were you running?

A whopping 4.5 pinging psi.

I got your Daddy <----- hahahaha(rofl)

 

[Zs'MSP]

If the MSP is @ 6-7 psi how did he beat me running 4.5psi? We have the same engine 2.0l

 

[MP3-Owner]

"I got your daddy!" is better than "I am your daddy!" lol

 

[KzA]

HAHAHAH And all you cocky shitheads said "The mp3 is dead." Looks like SOMEBODY just got out of the coffin for a little Dawn of the Dead MSP ROMPING! I'msorry..but you jerkoffs had it comin...POWER TO THE TURBO MP3!!!!!

jeremy's got a few things that helps him, such as a better flowing manifold that helps him spool faster, bigger intercooler, maybe even a bigger turbo. what size and trim is in the fm kit?

 

[turbo740]

Isn't there a static compression ratio difference and different fuel/spark mapping as well? I don't know much about the MSP but I doubt it's just a turbo kit on a stock Protege.

BAHAHHA!!! That's my GF!!!!!

JK- Actually it was some chick that scammed me online. So I used her ass as my avatar.

Your wrong there. The manifold on the FM kit does not flow better than the Calloway kit at all. The manifold that Calloway built is a much better design than BEGI's. Also, the intercooler on the FM kit isn't much larger than the one on the Mazdaspeed. The only reason you got beat is because you have a T-25 or 28, whatever they use. The FM kit uses a T3. A much larger turbo. I hate it when someone buys a performance car and knows absolutely nothing about it. Try buying the book "Maximum Boost", youv'e got some learning to do.

got any mor pics?

are you talking to me there ben? cause i really dont care what the about the specs of those systems, i was just taking guesses.

 

[Pro5OnSpeed]

affecting boost......

there are a bunch of things that can affect boost but lets keep it simple.....

1. turbo size
2. type of turbo (turbines make a difference)
3. distribution of heat throughout turbo
4. manifold design
5. pipe legth
6. intercooler size
7. wheel & tire size and weight
8. back pressure due to turbo
9. back pressure due to atmosphere

i think one of the main reasons is the size. the FM kit uses a larger turbo. the smaller turbo may spool faster, but mid to top range it spools less then a larger one. should i keep going?

 

[smp3000]

I know this is a bit off topic, but is there anyone else out there running more than 8.5 psi? I don't really like being the the 'one guy' that is running more boost than anyone else. That scares me. Terry- what psi are you at now?

HEY BIG BEN I ACTUALLY AM READING THAT BOOK HA HA!!!!


Mr. Corky Bell is a very smart guy. there is so much info about everything. i recomend everyone read this book!

 

[big_ben]

are you talking to me there ben?

No, I was directing that towards the guy that started the thread, the guy with the MSP. I thought that was pretty clear.

 

[White 6s]

alot of it is driver skill anways. if you know your car..it's limits..push it hard..you in most cases it's not hard to beat a slightly higher powered car. having 800 miles on the car especially since majority of those were break in miles. you don't know the limits of the car yet. give it to somone who can drive. you would probably be dead even til his BIGGER turbo started making more power...like 3rd gear and up highway speeds. or be neck and neck with him all the way.

and to the first page of this thread? why does everyone need to rip on a "civic ricer" in my civics "glory" it was running low to mid 14's all motor street trim and tire...not the fastest thing out on the street. not every civic is a ricer.

Z's MSP:
once you know your car limits and are more comfortable. run him again. i bet the outcome will be diffrent. you will either hang with him or beat him. as long he stays at 4.5 psi.

 

[tritonheat1]

I take it that PortCity's Mp3 runs high 14's to low 15's at 4.5psi.
