Introduction
Hello guys again.
I just finished reading all the posts on this thread and i am very impressed by the knowledge of all you guys, fighting about going N/A or turbo was fun i think but both can achieve alot of gains.
I am new here and i haven't even introduce myself(bad manners)
I should start by saying that i have loved mazdas all my life and that my first one was an MX6 89 GT turbo, i had a lot of fun with that car and smoked alot of hondas with it
,then a MX3 V6 came along and so did the chicks
) later my brother got an MX6 v6 93 and we were all a big happy family.
My granpa' and my father are both very good mechanics and well i was in their shop since i was 5 years old so even though my dad did not want me to be a mechanic i learned the trade and very good thanks to them and my mechanic blood. I don't do it as a profession but more for hobbie. I am an electronic technician and work in the avionics field but love to fix my cars or modified them.
I now own the only green MP3 in the USA. It was converted from an ES to Mp3 to the last bolt. It's green and mean now and it has a sunroof
. I bought a Blue MP3 wrecked from the roof and transfered all the parts to my ES (Susp, interior,rack and pinion,spoilers,ECU, transmision since it used to be an Automatic ES model, muffler, radio and speakers etc)
I also put a functional scoop, double rear wing spoilers and brembo drill/slotted rotors.
The Head was ported and polished and has ovesize intake valves(see picture and you will notice how they barely fit in the chamber)also the intake manifold was cut ported and polished.
the throttle was bored and polished and the flywheel was reduced in weight from 18.5 stock lbs to 14 lbs so i wouldn't loose too much torque like with the 9 lbs that they sell.
My car is running real nice but i do have to tune it up since i got too much air now and little fuel. When the engine reaches 4500 rpms it just takes off but before that it just asks for more fuel.
I am currently working on the fuel management system,injectors,fuel pressure and coming up with a much better spark system. having all of this done and tuned will make my car an N/A beast with no cams yet!!! later i will also go turbo intercooled and well that will give me enough power to go around.
since i have an extra engine with 11 k miles i am going to built a 450 hp engine for a friend of mine that is willing to pay for the parts. it will be completly re-done, from botton end to head so i will post it when i finish it. It will be fitted in a Protege 5....
For all of you i got just one question. Does the MP3 and the Mazdaspeed have the same pistons and are they forged oronly the Mazda speeds. I will thank you guys alot if you can answer this for me
)..
Anyway guys i am very impressed with all of you and keep making them fast,thrust me this engines can take it, the only weak parts are the Rods but the rest are strong as an oak.
And remember IF YOU BUILT IT, IT WILL RUN......
