Mazdaspeed6 FMIC Kit Ready To Go!!!

[Captain KRM P5]

started and ran the car tonight. no check engine light and everything is smooth running. tomorrow will show some more aggressive street testing and then its off to the dynos

some more pictures to ponder below. pipes shown are done in black for the prototype kit. to note, the pipes you will see below are welded - not bent - welded, with the welds entirely smoothed and polished out. thats the quality of fabrication behind this kit. i have circled some points to note which better bring to light why the intercooler is designed the way it is. as you can see, there are four braces angled between the bumper and the core support. being that part of our goal was not to cut/modify/trim/remove anything stock, the intercooler and endtanks were designed to fit within those brackets. i am not sure if the other kits in development remove these brackets. we do not.

a final after thought on core location is that, should one get into an accident (yes, i know no one thinks about that or wants to think about that) the intercooler is better protected than if it were not behind that beam at all. this may not seem like much until you need to fork out $300+ to replace a smashed intercooler.

initial drive impressions

alright took the car out for a good hour plus this evening and logged some time and miles on it. first thing to note - no check engine light whatsoever of any kind. car idled as smooth if not smoother than stock idle. acceleration was super smooth all the way to redline in evey gear. acceleration was outstanding. one of my employees as well as one of the fabricators who have more behind the wheel time with this car were amazed how much harder the car pulled throughout the rev range. there was not a moment of hesitation or stumble on or off the throttle and even after an hour of street testing the car stayed consistently and considerably stronger. the GReddy RS setup with recirculaton functioned great and we're confident even without instrumentation at this point that it holds more boost than the stock BPV.

Dyno day is saturday, and of course we'll be doing a range of tests along with the roller run. Pressure gains, maximum boost, EGT and/or air/fuel ratios, core temps, air temps, etc. Anyone who wants to see something additional or different please feel free to chime in with a request and i'll see what i can do to make that happen.

As for pricing, there are four packages available;

Mazdaspeed6 FMIC Kit for Stock BPV with Powdercoated Pipes
$849.95

Mazdaspeed6 FMIC Kit with GReddy RS BOV and Powdercoated Pipes

Mazdaspeed6 FMIC Kit for Stock BPV with Polished Stainless Pipes
$1049.95

Mazdaspeed6 FMIC Kit with GReddy RS BOV and Polished Stainless Pipes

As far as I know CP-E and the others have not released pricing or performance numbers yet, so I'll go out on the limb and be first to release ours. Every kit will come with reinforced silicone couplers and t-bolt stainless clamps, associated bracketry and relocation materials where applicable.

Brought her home tonight and WOW is all I have to say for now, I will do a nice write up and everything, Thanks again to Protege Garage and Real Street Performance.

 

[speed6808]

(shocked) wow awsome, cant wait to see the gains.

 

[Jeph]

Hmmm it looks really nice, but what good does it do if half the core is obstructed by the bumper support?

 

[Speed6 Guy]

Real Street Performance +1 That guy is the sh&#.

Also the core is vary thick and is bar and plate. The bumper is there and that is it we can do nothing about it. Plus Don't Shi& on theis thread Please.
