Stage 1 of my car is complete!!!!!!!!

[computerGeek]

As alot of you know i have been houndiong you all with questions after question for upgrading my car. Well New Years Day i finally installed all the engine parts!!!!

And i did it without looking at the instructions once (becuase i had been reading and hounding for 2 weeks!). BTW I spliced into the vac line going from the intake manifold to BPV to Wastegate for the Greddy RS BOV and replaced the entire hose!!! What a b**** that was! I couldn't find a big enough T-valve.

Thanks CustomMSP and Cullen!!!!!!!

Pics!!!

Cool. This will probably be my next mod as soon as I can roll enough change to do it. haha

 

[warrier04]

very good lookin. what kind of gauges and exahust are to follow?

 

[ChiMSP]

Your core seems tp be sitting up kinda high in that last pic... or is it just me? Anywayz lean install.

 

[CustomMSP]

How does the car feel? Any change it boost?

Thanks!

 

[ChiMSP]

He'll probably feel a little more lag at lower RPMS but feel improvement above 3k

There should be less lag actually. All those mods allow more air to flow through the system, therefore more tq earlier.

the car is looking good. great work.

Got a question, from looking at your Greddy BOV, there seems to be a hose that goes no-where.
It doesn't recirculate?

And any sound recording of the new BOV? (cool)
That's probably what I'm planning for this spring (can't do it during winter here in Canada...)

Stage 1? Been playing NFSU, I see.

 

[computerGeek]

first Stage 1 because it is goingto take me 3 days to do everything well actually 4 now since i have to get new brakes and figured i will upgrade rotors and all then!

lag is still null compared but you can definetly feel the power. i gunned it in fourth on 495 and before i new it i was at 90. oops! it was kool. First gear is 10 times better now!

The hoses all go to the BPV Vac line off the intake manifold. the big fat one goes from the block to the intake ( i guess its called a block)

The SMIC is exaclty where it should be, I guess... because that is how it lined up. It isn't hitting anything and the pipes line up well. i did have to bend the metal frame ( gray color) because it was hitting a little. But all that was, was a long screw driver and 2 seconds. you can't tell anything was modified!

I'm still playing with the BOV. i have gone from 2 threads to 6 threads high and the car still won't stall and sounds pretty damn kool. I will eventually get sounds of it. you can never have to many sound clips on the internet! Figuring out where i want it. seems the tighter i go the more mean the BOV sounds!

And yes i live NFSU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

everything i have is in my sig, except for future mods! just got to install it all!!!

pic is problem area

So how does the SP2 sound. I have yet to hear a sound clip of it and it seems to be a good system, from the reviews I have read that is.

T Valve split for BPV and BOV off Intake manifold/wastegate tube

I'll let you know after friday when it arrives UPS!!!!

 

[MazdaSpeed0020]

Ohh my bad thought you already have it on, do you not have the apex down pipe on either?

Matt

 

[computerGeek]

here is a 3/4th view... may be able to see more here

 

[computerGeek]

nope got those in the mail at the same time from same company Apex!. the Greddy was on back order and he sent it last friday so it will arrive according to UPS, friday.

 

[computerGeek]

and and so far boost peaks at 7 in fifth gear pull now and steady at 6psi. up from 5.5. can't wait to see if it goes higher with exhaust and high flow cat!

 

[mazdaspeedpower]

Oh, it will, infact, with all things, you could prolly expect to see it running closer, much closer to 8psi now. Of course, thats with most MSP's, you never really know until you're done with these cars...lol. Looking nice man.

 

[Ljspeed]

Oh man if we can get a sound of that Greddy RS that would be sweet. And very nice setup btw
