More Pics of Prototype MSP Intercooler

Brian MP5T-

Sorry, I worded my question wrong with "performance". Actually what I was trying to say was... Wouldn't a CO2 sprayer or Ntercooler set-up be better to get a lower charge temp vs. new intercooler?

Brian, Thanks for the info. So would you benefit from putting a larger diameter exhaust after the downpipe too? Seems to make sense.

On a drag strip, but if you had to hit a sprayer every time you accelerated it would become really ****** to have to fill some bottle all the time. The Intercooler upgrade is better overall because it works all the time to reduce the charge temperature. It is more efficient at disipating heat. Many drag setups use a one shot intercooler that is filled with ice and water. Once the ice melts it starts to fail. However most drag races only last 10 - 15 seconds.

Like Turbo vs. Nos. "Always not just on a button".

Anything to help the flow after the turbine would do the same thing. Most drag cars use a 3 or 4 inch pipe that run directly on the road under the engine. This is impractical for daily drivers so we try to increase the flow and keep things quiet too. A tough ballance. High flow cats are the way to go. Just changing your pipes is a good start but think about the weakest link idea. If you had a 22 inch pipe on a 2" cat, you would have the same flow as a 2 inch pipe.

I dropped the IC off at Mazdaspeed R&D for testing

 

[TheJohnny]

Sweet, I imagine that it will be a few weeks before anything comes back on it. Hopefully they'll want to look at it soon. Thanks again for the leg work.

I dropped the IC off at Mazdaspeed R&D for testing

so is there possibilty of getting this made?

 

[blueboost]

Hey try this Mazdacompetition part #000-01-9352-kt, your welcome!

 

[SpicyMSP]

huh?

 

[ARunto]

where can that be ordered then? mazdamotorsports?

 

[All Boost]

Spicy said he just dropped it off at Mazdaspeed. I know people can be impatient, but how many times does someone have to say "sit down, shut up. The second this IC becomes available, you'll hear about it.

I'm itchin just as bad as the next guy. I'm sure a few weeks after MS is finnished testing the thing, someone will post dyno results and possibly put that bad ass IC into production.

 

[SpicyMSP]

Spicy = The She... Thank you for the kind words though. As All Boost stated, I will let everyone know whats going on as I do. I am not holding anything back. And I thank everyone who is interested for being so patient.

 

[KyRaceFan]

thanks spicy for the new info, look forward to seeing what gets done with this setup.

 

[yashooa]

I'm itchin just as bad as the next guy.

One word 'GOLDBOND."

 

[oldzoomer]

just remember, patience is a virtue.


now if I could only figure out what virtue means.

Look I am only trying to help. The part number is posted
on the Grand American Racing web site. The MSP is in the
sport touring class with the rx8. Surf their site for pictures
of the MSP during test days.(Grand Am Cup)
They show a Large IC in the front of a MSP. Personally it
would be VERY easy to use one of many aftermarket IC's
in front of the radiator, just fab a bracket and plumb up
the ends. It would also be easy to fab a coldair/ramair
system using the left front duct. I am a lifelong mazda
nut and race/build 12a's and 13b's . I have owned many
Mazda auto's and my son's new MSP is by far the most
fun to drive.
