Get that beast dynoed Fast, alot of people would like to see it.

im tring to soon. i just got a house and boy do i have my work cut out for me.
**does anybody have a hook up's on dyno's here in so.cali???

1FastMP5 - I won't call BS on you because I know what it's like to have someone call BS on you. I recently had my local P5 call bs on my gains, so, I showed them my dyno. Now, they call BS on my dyno and forced me out of the club... Nice, eh? How hard was it to locate and install a MP3 ecu?

the ecu is kinda hard to get, the way i got mine was trading with a fellow mp3 turbo member. install is fairly easy. i cant really tell you how much of a differance it will make because i installed the cams & ecu at the same time.

 

[Blown]

What did you all have to do to install it? Do you consider the install a bolt-on or was modifying needed?

 

[1FASTMP5]

no, its all bolt on w/ one plug. its a swap, no modifying

 

[Blown]

I wonder if I could get one in Canada a lot easier...

I'm going the NA route guys. I'd love to go turbo but it would cost too much to become competetive in AutoX. What I'm doing is buying the best parts possible and available for the protege to build it up to STS class. Look at my sig and you will see what I have and where I have to go. I still have to get a couple suspension components to go and I still want to replace my exhaust with a JIC system. As for horsepower I'm about as high as I can go with the mods permitted in STS(don't tell nobody I have a clutch and flywheel ) I will get my car dyno'd after I put in the header(group buy going on right now PM me if interested) and you will all have an idea of what the basic NA mods will give a protege. I will ,along with the dyno map, provide temp and maybe humidity so you all can get an idea. This is mostly as a before/after dyno of the header.

Oh yeah STS also permits me to swap ECU's so if anyone with an MP3 ecu wants to trade I need one bad. I'm willing to give 100.00 in addition to covering my shipping costs. and I will send mine first.

As for all this talking about dyno results. We'll see how much power these mods will make on our cars when I dyno on a clayton chassis dyno with 87 octane

well so far i have : mp3 ecu,j-spec int,mazdaspeed ext cam,rm headers,hks axle back, cai, groundin kit, plugs.
i dont have money to dyno.. but i will say im for sure getting 130 to the wheels if not more.
call b.s all you want but ive ran my car at the track and gotten decent times concidering the track conitions.

so what kind of times did you run... and that goes for you too Blown???

 

[Blown]

Familia - I'm not into drag racing, I'm more of an Auto-X. I do have a Gtech and I can get you an approximate time. Just from racing my friends, I'd say mid 16s.

 

[1FASTMP5]

so what kind of times did you run... and that goes for you too Blown???

i ran
60ft-2.3
1/8-10.2
1/4-15.9 @86 mph
this was @ 4:00 pm in 100 degree weather.
i also had traction problems in 1st gear.
i think my car is capible of 15.7 or so, with colder weather.

 

[Blown]

I'm at a high altitude to get a good time.

1FastMP5 - What octane of fuel do you use?

 

[1sty]

BLown, why were you kicked out a protege club for a 116 whp dyno?

 

[1FASTMP5]

1FastMP5 - What octane of fuel do you use?

bad so.cal 91 oct gas

 

[Darin]

uh...are you guys really claiming 3whp from f'in spark plugs?? I think that's complete bulls*** - unless somebody can back that with anything other than anecdotal evidence. Once I gained SEVEN wheel HP from changing to new spark plugs, on the dyno. Why? Because my old plugs were fouled. Should I claim "NGKs give you 7whp!"? Hell no.

Fwiw, the strongest FS Probe guys I know are around 115-120whp - 130-150ft-lbs. They've run 15.6 @ 88-90mph. They are lighter than you.

:-/

 

[Blown]

Darin - It's been proven. My friends who own the dyno compared stock against iridium plugs and also regular oil to full synthetic oil.

Besides, my claim was for 3whp from iridium plugs and new sparkplug wires.

proven - by whom? was it a controlled environment? Specifics man! I need SPECIFICS!!

 

[1sty]

I hope to god you don't reply with a G-tech timer, please god no?

 

[Blown]

Darin - Specifics? Like, the test cars, etc??

That is the manufacturers claim.

 

[1sty]

No, like the dyno meter you used, its location, test and setup procedures, was it on the same day, same envirnmental considtions, did you do several runs for each?
