New product announcement!

LOL

Me too. :)

Maybe it should be called FPRR kit (last R for reducer) or FPR-PR ( PR for pressure reducer) :D

It is called an FP Reduce kit. It has been abbreviated lately since I am usually replying to people who are using it or have asked about it. I didn't even realize that I could be throwing people off :).. I'll start to use the full name again :).

Hey Joe - I'll periodically check your site for the 3 item package, as I definitely want to get all three soon! Thanks in advance...I'll be in touch for sure...

I want a FPR and a FCD+!I would also hope that you would help us guys that want to tweak the FCD+ a little farther because I want to squeeze out every ounce of power out of my MSP that i can do "SAFELY!"Let us know when and how much $$$ for the combo!:D

Thre really would be no reason to, it wouldn't add to power, just help a bit if you still have some part throttle stumbles or something while accelerating.

don't want to be an asshole or anything but this sounds like that EBAY resistor thing. :confused:

Been searching Ebay and can't find the product you mentioned. Does mine have resistors- yes, it also has a diode and a potentiometer among other items- so does your $1000 + ECU :). It is how they get assembled and what the values of them all are that make it do what it does :).. I don't know what the Ebay thing is, but if it is just one resistor, then it is nothing special and will not eliminate fuel cut either.

It does the same thing and then some as the $185 HKS FCD and does it in the same manner.

I'm going to install the the fuel pressure gadget right now! I'm intrested in the new product too. I spoke to my service rep about
the new fuel map and told him that I would need to speek to a master tech about the new peramaters before any flashing would take place. He reply was, "I think we could arrange that for you".


Thanks Joe,
 
Dam it works! Cool, cause I was about to trade my Speed for a 326hp 500E benz or a E34 M5 340hp!

Jk

It do work - a slight power loss. I'll try it again tonight once it cools down to about 80 degrees or so.


:cool:
 
Sorry to be so unaware of everything but ive read this post and I read the other post with the other item for sale just recently... i'd like to buy the 2 but (as im sure u can tell) I don't know much about cars but would hope the installs would be very easy. I looked on the website but I dont see either of the 2 recent items on there, just the MBC. is there an approx install time for the 2 products? price for the 2 would be nice :-)

I have a seperat page on my site for MSP stuff also- go to the main page- www.joepmbc.com and you can click on the pic of my MSP or click the Mazdaspeed link in the top bar.

the install for all the items is quite simple. Can be done in about 30 minutes max each (not including the time to set the MBC once installed). I will have package pricing available shortly. Thanks.

Joe...my man...good stuff again. I do have one question, though. Will this get rid of that violent stumble in second (you know, the one that makes the car almost stall)? If the ECU fix is done right I guess it will be a non-point, but if not Joe P. all the way!

I don't know if I've experienced the stumble you mention.. I know I will get an almost violent buck if I slowly accelerate in second and lightly lift off the throttle, but never almost stalling. What does yours do?

That appears to be just some resistor that he is selling for all vehicles. This has been designed and built specifically for the mazdaspeed. It has the values that match the MSP's needs, not just some generic setup that should work.. It also has a clamp built in to clamp the voltage right before the point of fuel cut- again, what the hell do you think the $185 HKS FCD is? As always, it is people like you that ruin it for everyone else.. If you don't want it, don't but it- but don't make it out to be some garbage item that doesn't work. It does EXACTLY what I say it does, I know because I USE IT. I am trying to make stuff that WORKS for the MSP- not only for your cars, but I run everything I make on mine- so as I improve my car, I "clean" the item up and make it "sale-worthy". If someone wants an FCD for their car, why the hell should they spend $180+ when the SAME THING is available for $40-$50???? For ***** sake, there is always one to piss in your face. No wonder a rep from one of your vendors laughed and said "you still ******* with those message board idiots? Why waste your time, it's a lost cause." in one of our conversations. No offense to the rest of you, but this crap is getting really old. Try it- if it doesn't eliminate fuel cut, then you can call it snake oil for all I care.

JOe, CHILL OUT!

people have a right to be sceptical especialy on these boards. Many people have been taken a few times.

Just relax and give proof in such a cercumstance.

I am sure there has to be somehting graphical to use or explain with. I have no clue what that would be but I am not the devices creator.

If you can't deal with proving your work then don't bother selling it here. We are shoot first ask questions later MOFOS (getsome) :D.

Think of all the crap out there right now from this devices cheep imitation counterparts that do nothing to the POS metal "tubine" That you put in your intake to create a "vortex". Can you really blaim anyone for mistrusting?

Well...there's a point where the line has to be drawn, 1st...Joe's been pumping this stuff out with proven results thusfar. There has been no reason to doubt what he has been offering up because of:

a) His reputation
b) posted results regarding his other products

I really don't think he's going to sell us crap or knock-offs...he's a function over form guy, but he still makes a quality product. Besides, he's a businessman...you can't continue to run a business selling falsies to people, right? Anywho...let's all just relax, folks. It's all good...


As for your questions, Joe:

I just meant that it felt like stalling...it's a really violent bucking when you let off the throttle, just like you said. I can't recreate it whenever I want, though. It seems to happen mostly when it's damp out (which it has been a lot lately). Has this setup helped with that issue?

Heheh- I am just getting tired of busting my ass working on things in steps so I can pass the info/products on to others only to get confronted along the way. I could just build the snot out of it, go right to stand alone, big turbo, forged internals, etc. and get my low-mid 12's right off the bat- but I don't because I have a LOT of people following me to see where it goes on the stock stuff with a good tune. I do not need critisism nor do I appreciate it. Yes, there is a business to look after also, but this is my hobby first, business later.

Do you guys call BS with Apex, Greddy and HKS to see how their products are made and what components they contain? I can easily go with a surface mount board and such so it looks more high-tech internally, but it would not be cost-effective for what I am trying to do- sell parts that give the most performance for the least $$$.. I can skip right to selling turbos and IC's if you guys want, I have a ton of suppliers I can go through for that stuff and I would never have to even see them, they would be drop shipped and I would get paid for doing absolutely nothing- but that does nothing for tuning or making the car run right and as I said, this is my hobby before a business for me.. I made this unit for the same reason I originally made my MBC- I needed it for MY application at the time and everyone else wanted 3-5 times what it was worth- I made it for myself first and foremost, then passed it on to everyone else.

As for graphs- sorry, nothing- I am one guy that know how things work and what they do, not some big company with an engineering department to draw everything up :).. I know how it works and I know why it works, but please be understanding of why I don't tell everyone exactly how it is made or how to make their own- like I said, I do have a business to look after too and I don't want everyone taking my hard work and copying it for themselves (not you, just in general :) )..

Also, just FYI, these products do NOT apply to the MP3, P5, or standard Protege- they are MSP specific- you guys do not have fuel cut issues to deal with like us lucky MSP guys :(...

Well...there's a point where the line has to be drawn, 1st...

No there really isn't a line.
As a consumer you can ask all the questions you want. Be completely sceptical and always ask for proof.
Its your right to do so.

If someone wants to sell somehting to such a person they have the obligation to back up there claims to that customers satisfaction.
 
Not to speak for Joe directly, but you all HAVE to remember, he has come to us from the DSM world. He is a highly respect tuner in thier realm. Thus, causing the issue of everyone and thier frikin mother calling B.S. on his stuff, as he R&D's it, and offers it here. Understand, that if this was a DSM board, his s*** would sell faster then he could mfr them. so please BTFO probably one of the ONLY people here to help the MAZDASPEED.......AGAIN I SAID MAZDASPEED, owners. :D


I understand the want to protect you fellow board mates, but if you think any product is B.S. dont jsut outright call it, ask for an exlplanation of the product, and its benefits, not just outright call B.S.

Hehe- good point- I am not some E-Bay guy lurking in the shadows, my name and HOME ADDRESS are posted right on my site :)..

As for the bucking, I really haven't experienced it for a while, but I don't see how this stuff helped that problem- it is probably still there :).
