Mazdaspeed6 FMIC Kit Ready To Go!!!

[Captain KRM P5]

i've read of some people trying a TurboXS fuel cut defenser. on a side note, the MAF sensor itself might be recalled by mazda. its the same one as in the 99 protege 1.6 liter and they have been known for failure and sensitivity.

I've been waiting for a fmic for some time now. i got rid of our mazda3 for the speed6 and am ready for upgrades. my friend has a firebird with the ls1 with exhaust and intake and thinks he can beat me yet he has declined me everytime i ask to race

That sucks...hope you work out the kinks.

 

[Mike Le]

you're doing good man, keep it up

sounds like mazda didnt do s*** progressing from msp to ms6. as soon as i put my front mount on i started getting fuel cut. just means the intake temps are too dense for the computer so it thinks its getting too much air and cuts the fuel like a rev limiter. i guess the ms6 tuning is quite similar to the msp.

How many feet of piping is there total between the turbo and the TB? How much pressure drop do you think there is? The price is awesome!!

 

[Captain KRM P5]

we altered the intake and MAF housing and the new dyno runs turned out MUCH nicer. we'll be doing stock VS fmic runs soon.

That's very good!

I think Mazda6's run rich across the board, MS6, 3.0-liter 6 and the normally aspirated 2.3.

I think it's a 6 thing...Granted the N/A cars probably don't run as rich as the turbo car, but still rich enough. Come to think of it, the Protege did the same thing. Maybe it's a Mazda thing across the board.

Sorry, this is a little after the fact...

We know that... but if the MAF isn't reading the correct amount of air or possibly maxing out then the car will not run well and/or could cause the car to cut boost which in turn would cause drops in hp numbers, thank you for the thought!

I see what you are saying. Would it be possible, if you were able to crack the ECU, to tune around that and run the larger diameter piping?

 

[Mutmatt]

yes... tune the ecu... that would enable that, this is also how other cars do that. BUT if you want a lowest cost item... you have to cut out big ticket items like tuning... cuz that is EXPENSIVE and would raise prices!

i have inquiries with three major EMS companies dealing with direct injection as of today - if anything comes of it i will surely post it.

Doesn't COBB have this thing just about cracked? They are supposed to be releasing their ACCESSPORT soon.

[Mutmatt]

spring will be the release from all accounts i've heard

Its the tuning of the ECU and perhaps they arent at a dyno setup that runs AWD either.

was this a comment on a previous statement because i do not understand it...

 

[shalezoom3]

I plan on purchasing a speed 6 soon and this will be my first mod.....maybe a little early on the questions...but are the tubes already powder coated, or can there be requests....not worried if cost is extra either.

 

[Mutmatt]

there are 2 options as of now a posibility of customs if you need be... Powder coated black or polished

 

[Skywlkr]

This looks great. Definitly looking into it once the bugs are ironed out and you get some dyno runs.

This is a dumb question, but a FMIC will definitly effect the warranty correct? and if I'm looking to do one should I not order a CAI?

Thanks and sorry for the dumb questions.
