Pics of prototype MSP w/ECU flash

[Dr.Sound]

this one has the ECU flash.
bunch of wires are for monitoring.

this one also has the upgraded IC.

 

[Aaron]

what upgraded intercooler is that? also is this an ecu from mazda usa or another aftermarket vendor?

 

[2K3 MSP]

Will that intercooler be available as a replacement from Mazda, or is this a custom IC?? By the way, who's car...yours??

 

[Dr.Sound]

custom IC
flash from mazdaspeed USA (mazda)

 

[Aaron]

is the hesitation gone??? with this ecu flash.

 

[nocar]

whats the reason for the verticle intercooler?

nocar - ability to use stock setup.

So they are testing the flash on a car that is not stock? That does not make sense. It has a MBC, which most people say cures 99% of the hesitation anyways, and a more effiecient IC? That just does not make sense.

I agree that's horseshit to test an ECU flash on a car that has been modded/upgraded. So what the ECU flash works for those who get a bigger intercooler? I swear I think Mazda has there head up there ASS when it comes to our damn car!

 

[low_psi]

there is no MBC, there are a few valves on the IC piping and in the bay that may look similar but there are no lines going into the wastegate connected to a controller.

everyone needs to chill and realize mazda is working on a reflash. that new IC will was little effect if any on the testing.

 

[Dr.Sound]

it has been tested with the stock IC

 

[122 Vega]

No one needs to chill, no one is all worked up that would require significant chilling. Just curious why. I think that is alloed. And if you look at the pics, it does look liike a MBC even if it is not. Besides I remember this as being a discussion board, so why should we be rediculed for offering simple discussion?

The post on the other thread says:
there is no set date yet for whent he FLASH(not ECU) will be out.

you won't need the kit if you're only using it to get rid of the hesitation. posted by mx3ownzj00

Now honestly why would you want the flash then???

I thought thats what the ECU flash was for???

 

[Dr.Sound]

10-12 more hp.

FPR kit does not get rid of hesitation........only supresses it.

if mixture is leaned out with the flash, that means better gas milage.

overall better running car.

Hey Dr. Sound, could you tell me when if that intercooler is coming out and who is going to make it. I personlly like the idea of putting that in the stock location, and not having to put in a whole new radiator with the FMIC.

 

[Dr.Sound]

made by mazdaspeed........dont know when it's coming out
if i see the guy again i'll ask

 

[122 Vega]

You don't have to replace the radiator with the Ion or the Spool FMIC kits, Where did you get that impression?

Britt

 

[beans]

You are right, but I know at least ION recomends that you do because of the gap on the side. I just worded it wrong.

where is this info and pics coming from?
