Mental Addiction Mazda 3 turbo kit?

[insanoman2005]

Well, I don't consider it kissing ass. I don't even have anything from them yet actually lol, but c'mon...look at their stuff. Give credit where credit's due.

if you dont own any of his products how do you know they are so great? (eyeballs)


I really want a chip for my 3. If this guy has them let's see them. Let's see what they do.

 

[insanoman2005]

Umm, he hasn't made the kit yet...

he has already mentioned how he will address ems and it's with a "chip". I want more info on this chip. Why is this so difficult for everyone to understand? If he has some sort of miracle plug and play chip to regulate fuel pressure I want info.

 

[ddogg777]

I was implying that he could probably get it done, not that he has one right now.

 

[Brian MP5T]

so you're going to "chip" the new 2.3L engine to handle boost and fuel duties? wow...why not start selling these chips and make a fortune off those?? I'm sure almost everyone on this forum with a 2.3L will want a custom "chip"

This chip will more than likely only be practical for the turbo kit.

 

[Brian MP5T]

All the protege guys are more excited than the 3 owners....prolly cuz we all know what MAM can do (laugh)

I'm hooked on MAM!!

just about everyone is brian lol.

why?? what is it going to control for a turbo kit that wouldn't be beneficial for an NA car?? Timing? AFR's?? what??

 

[RyanJayG]

more than likely the chip would create A/F's and timing pertinent for forced induction, which would bog the hell out of your car N/A. but this doesn't mean that a chip couldn't be programed for an N/A car. give it time.

 

[insanoman2005]

that's what I'm saying if he can create a chip with custom maps why not make one NA also?? Seems like if he has the capabilites to actually do this it would be a first step.

 

[Matthew]

give it time. beau is doing about 34907834 new products for this forum at this time.

 

[Hoonyo]

the more turbo kits the better (rockon)

btw does anyone know if the hiboost kit is coming out this month?

 

[insanoman2005]

I remain skeptical untuil I see this magic "chip". Sounds bogus...proove me wrong.

 

[ddogg777]

proove me wrong.

If you want proof, let him use your car as a testbed...

 

[insanoman2005]

i wouldn't let him touch my car. this is his "hobby". I'll wait around for an ACTUAL business with a business license and some sort of legal responisibility to show up so I can send them my money...someone like hiboost, wagner, protegegarage, etc.

I just thought it was funny that "chips" are such an un-proven thing on the protege/3's and that was his whole idea of EMS for a turbo system....I knew nothing like this exsisted yet. Just wanted to see how much thought was put into it.

p.s. I know the 2.3L is a totally new animal and companies may start making chips and what-not if the ecu is different than the previous proteges but it's so new and untested I had to get some more concrete info....just there is none.

 

[ddogg777]

I'm taking my ball and going home.

"Screeeeew you guys, I'm going home."

 

[insanoman2005]

call MAM and tell him how I've made you feel. Maybe he'll fabricate someone who gives a s***.

that's what I'm saying if he can create a chip with custom maps why not make one NA also?? Seems like if he has the capabilites to actually do this it would be a first step.

why would that be a first step? for me personally, i'd prefer to see a company making turbo kits that are capable of making 350+ whp and also be the only company to set up an AEM plug and play for proteges then to see a company make a 'chip' for all the ricers to add to their list of mods that aren't gonna deduct any more than 2 tenths of a second off their 1/4 times. just to think, you'd be able to tell all your friends that you have an intake, a chip, and a muffler!!@! I don't personally see the point of even bothering with something like that for a N/A car. I mean, I can understand if you wanna run nitrous or a turbo or even a supercharger.. then it would def be worthwhile. Some kid i know got a 'chip' for his SE-R spec-v... it probably added like 5-10 horsepower but his car was always overheating. (rockon)On the other hand I've heard of chips for GTI's and 300zx's that add tons of horsepower, but keep in mind that they are turbo'd to begin with. I dunno, maybe I'm totally off on this, but i still cant figure out why you're trying to put down a company that has offered to make products for your car. So why don't you just wait and see what this company has to offer.. and when you see that theres some mazda 3's getting into the 12's and they have little Mental Addiction Motorsports stickers on the back of their cars then maybe you'll have a change of heart.

/end rant - sorry its late and im cranky

Insano, you're almost as funny as me sometimes!

Perfworks will hook you up!
