question about MSP turbo on P5

[Little Beavis]

Wonder what that piece would end up costing. . .maybe that is an option. Maybe it is similar in price to an oil pan, in which case you could buy that and not put a hole in your oil pan. Thoughts?

The MBSP from the dealer will be around $300, compared to the $50 oil pan.

do you have a part number on that?

 

[kopp0041]

I can get it, but it won't be untill tomorrow. Otherwise, just call a dealer and ask for the part number for the MBSP (Main Bearing Support Plate) off the MSP.

pictures of the part and the area in which we would have to install it too would be greatly appreciated =D

Yes, it was wishful thinking on my part. . .we can all dream.

Do you know that price for sure? I think list on the oil pan is $80-90 or something close to that.

I'll look on my quote at home, which is the cost though a wholeseller so consumer will be 20% more or so. As for pictures and descriptions, check here: http://protege5.ugly.net/01-11.PDF pages 11 and 13.

i plan on going with the vortech FMU for now just to have the turbo running.. so which ratio is best? 10:1 or 12:1 .. i read 10:1 is a lil too lean??

 

[igdrasil]

what kind of exhaust are you going to run mofoaka?

 

[MP3skaterNC]

just get the 12:1

 

[mofoaka]

i plan on running a 2.5 all the way down. most likely i'll get some new cats in the near future.

[mofoaka]

Hello??? no reply.. please reply.. i got my turbo stuff already..

oh and if i do the O2 and FMU will it throw a cel?? last thing i want is to have a cel thrown.

you will have CEL:

For, not having cats unless you do the sensor trick

For not recirculating the EGR

Sometimes the CEL may blink...just because you are pushing fuel, but it may go away.

 

[mofoaka]

what if i stick with both OEM cats? the cel will still blink ?? so just because of the extra fuel being pushed in, the cel will blink?

it MAY do that, very seldom.

It may not even show up for the life of the cat

 

[mofoaka]

so 12:1 or 10:1 i heard from one member already to go for the 12:1 .. i need another opinion to back up please thanks

12:1 AND an Aux fuel pump

 

[mofoaka]

[1FASTMP5]

here we go.. is this the MBSP?? cuz i dunno what this deal is..

no! thats the oil return tap for the mbsp section.......for the oil return line. very important part to the msp kit though.

 

[mofoaka]

interesting.. haha.. so do i install it on the MBSP?? since all FS engines have it?? or do i really have to get the MBSP from the MSP?
