Just Got 10hp in Less Than 15minutes!

[acidbug]

Just as it says..I just Changed my ECU out w/ an MP3 ecu..and damn does it feel nice...The car has some pep!! I would suggest to anyone who wants some quick hp..and is not going turbo..to do the same!!

As many of you know..I am running a Nitrous Express Kit...50shot...and Just wanted to let people know that i am now approaching the 200hp maker!! W/ out a Turbo!!

[mooS mooS]

geezus .... almost 200hp w/ no Turbo ...

careful, man ... more power to ya... but let's not add you to the list of ..... ( I'm not even gonna say it )

*knocks on wood*

 

[p5mica]

where did you get the ECU from??

 

[ELEmental59437]

where did you get the ECU from??

his profile says from KZA....


Now if only LinuxRacr will swap ECU's with me *hint*hint*

 

[ELEmental59437]

as far as I know its the same engine as the MP3, jsut use the higher octane gas and it should be fine. About the nitrous, thats a different story which I would stay away from but do whatever you enjoy (can afford to fix when you break).

sweeet!
I swapped mine a few month's back...still no regrets!

 

[Pro Fiz]

damn was i looking foward to that ECU

 

[P-Funk!]

Do I *have* to swap the whole ECU? Isn't there a module or is it just the S/W that makes it different? Can i manually advance the timing a bit?

Thanks!

 

[deckedoutmp5]

most mp3 guys i know have blown thier motors with nitrous because of the mp3 advanced timing... be careful man, if you run nos get a mp5 ecu...

but just go FI... its that much power but much more.. ALL THE TIME hehe.

Heed this warning man! This is what happened to my 1st engine! Unless you can retard the timing, your motor will be toast soon.

 

[KzA]

man..my car feels slow now hahah Youd be suprised where that 10hp kicks in..right entering the powerband! Oh well, the switch will make for better things in the future!!! (secrets secrets)

 

[Concept P5]

i wish someone would switch with me.
i dont need my p5ecu any more.

 

[Matthew]

ive even offered people money and no one will take my offer

 

[acidbug]

Hey guys...

Anyone know how much the mp3 advances the timing?

I figure..To get around the problem w/ the advanced timing..I will run 93 octane..as well as NX Booster..But i want to first find out how much the mp3 advances the timing!!

Hey Linux..You were running a dry kit...I am running a wet kit..not to mention a smaller shot than you were running...Also you mention that your kit wasn't installed correctly...

***I haven't run any nitrous yet...want to find out more info!!

Please help!!

Hey KZA when you get your tubo done tommorw...You will forget all about the advanced timing!

Chas

P.S. You just replace the OEM ECU..that's it...

 

[TUNGSTENGREYWIDOW]

Can you say BOOM!!!!!!!!!!
Have you ever seen that quakerstate oil commercial. The guy shot his motor out of the hole truck. This could be you. If you are going to do a shot of N20 you need retard the timing. Thats were MSD and a E-management would be good.

 

[LinuxRacr]

My kit WAS installed correctly. That didn't save my engine from my DRY shot. I hope you figure this thing out. The one member who had success with the MP3 was a member called "Jayrcr"

Hey Guys this is the Email i sent to Keith & company at Flyin Protege

My name is charles...I am sending this email in regards to

http://www.msprotege.com/vbb225/showthread.php?threadid=25339&goto=newpost

I have a protege5...and installed an MP3 ecu in my car...The car is running beautifully...The car has more pep..and i do believe i gained about 5hp..

I currently have ngk spark plugs(1 range cooler installed & gapped to ".35), Sparcko wires, and am running 93 octane in my protege5!

I have a nitrous express kit on my ride...and was wondering if you can give me any information about how much the mp3 ecu advances timing...I downloaded that dyno you guys put up on your site..and it does give me some good information...

The nitrous kit is jetter to a 50shot...It's a wet shot..

Does the MP3 have a knock sensor? Does the protege5 have a knock sensor? How much does the ecu from an mp3 advance timing?

Thanks for all the help!

Chas
acidbbg@aol.com

and this is what i got back

I don't have the timing maps from the MP3 ECU. The timing increase is
probably not x degrees across the board, but far more complex. The amount of
timing increase beyond the P5 will depend on the rpm and the load.

The MP3 does have a knock sensor, but I cannot recommend relying on it on a
regular basis.

and this is what i got back from Ken at Flyin Protege

Hi Chas,

We have not broken the code on the Protege ECU so we do not know the timing differences between the Protege ECU and the MP3 ECU.

Both cars use a knock sensor.

I will be contacting Nitrous Express Next to find out more information on what safety precautions i can take!

MSD has not come out w/ anything for the Protege/Protege5/MP3!!

Engine management is out of the question for me...I am not planning to run anything larger than a 50shot!!(Well maybe if i go direct port injection! but still the minum for direct port is 100shot!)

Hey linux...Sorry for my misinformation...but you were running a dry shot...what size?? I know Patio is/was running a 75 shot on a protege5 ecu..So i figure that my motor can take a 50shot wet!

I will pm/email Jaycr about my thread to get some info on how is car is running! Anyone know what kind of system he is running?

most mp3 guys i know have blown thier motors with nitrous because of the mp3 advanced timing... be careful man, if you run nos get a mp5 ecu...

but just go FI... its that much power but much more.. ALL THE TIME hehe.

I would if i could afford 3k plus..for a decent turbo...i would jump on it..

If we add $$$'s i will be getting more hp for less $$$!

stock protege5 hp 130 hp

NX Kit=$500 50hp
Bottle refill=$40
intake=$45 01hp
exhaust=$100 02hp
header=$300 10hp
MP3 ecu=Freebee!! 10hp
-----------------------------------------------
$1,000approx. about 200hp!!

Turbo

Protege5 w/ tubo running a safe 6psi...
$4,000 and maybe 200hp!!

Coming up to a light against someone who paid 4 times the money i spent for less horsepower...Priceless!!!

Chas

P.S. My next car will definetly be turbo!!

You should og to the dynos because the pro5 hp at the wheels is kind of low. I am running a Ingen CAI, 2 1/4 custom exhuast from the cat, Magnicore plug wires, and denso iridium plugs, and all i am getting is 108.3hp at the wheels.

man, thats real low, is ur clutch taking all the hp to ur wheels? something on ur car is robbing u of ur hp, cuz i know i got all of my hp at my wheels, u kinda figure that when the driver of a trans am tells u ur fast but still, i would get that checked out
