New/used Msp

[StealthWyvern]

I just recently purchsed a 03 MSP. I'm curious as to how much power is it putting out realisicly. SO far it has the below mods that I've discovered. The car holds like 6 or 7psi.

check suspension bushing (rattles on bumps on the road) <--need new front and rear sway bar bushings
check for exhuast leak (could this cause a low vac?) <-- fixed
valve cover gasket <-- replaced
new PVC valve <-- replaced
seafoam <-- done twice
tune up. <-- done
convert the CAI to SRI <-- purchased purrin sri and sold injen cai
new motor mounts. <-- done front, pass, and side are medieval motor sports.
check for vac leaks <-- done.

maybe around 160-170 at the wheel...

Thanks. I thought as much. It pulls like a bat out of hell compare to the good ol slushbox NA p5 i had.

 

[StealthWyvern]

Can I just throw a test pipe on it and not have to worry about a tune?

 

[BOOSTR]

You sure can. I'm running a catless downpipe with my SP2.
Congrats on the purchase.

The exhaust is a major problem on these cars. You should gain power up top with a nice exhaust.

 

[StreetStyleJPTI]

176@ the crank. About 140-150@ the wheels (stock). That exhaust and maybe the FMIC are the only things you would probably see making any bit of a difference.

congrats on the purchase. im running a apexr1 catted j/mid with the sp2. you should see some good gains after getting rid of the cats. post some pics of the car

 

[StealthWyvern]

I think everything infront of the at back exhuast is stock... I haven't checked. I really dont plan on doing much else to the car but i had the midpipe coming in the mail before i even seen this msp. lol

That looks to be a Perrin FMIC from the pipes and the AC relocation.
I'd know those pipes anywhere
It was IIRC the largest intercooler available for our car.

the catless mid pipe is by far the best mod , money and gain wise, hands down.

you won't believe the diffrence with the mods you have now.

looks great
BLAZING YELLOW is possibly the best color for the 03.5's

I noticed a very low vacuum on you gauge, did you happen to have the air conditioning on when that pic was taken???

Could of been I dont recall. However I believe its always that low at idle with or without ac on.

for some reason whenever I read your user name, I wanna say Best Western. Just had to share that. I think it is or used to be a hotel chain if you don't know what I'm talking about.
(alright)

It is and still is a hotel chain across the country. Your the first one to make that comment. lol

You should check it. Should be at the VERY least 16 at idle, and that's if your gauge reads a awkwardly, like mine does. 95% of MSP owners read 20vac!

If your vac reading is low that means you have a leak. Get it fixed NOW!
