What Can i Turn my boost up to with a FMIC, and Custom exhaust with no CAT?

[turbo speedy]

your crystal ball lied to you! (gossip)

Stoned??? (stoned)

As in high? now that's funny (lol2) , considering I don't get high (yupnope) and I just got home from the gym where I had been running, (direct) and lifting weights for the past hour. (smash)

My car was bought with Joe P fuel cut installed, combined with running high boost. 3" exhaust and no EMS=========KABOOM

lol maybe you are "TRYING" to lose weight so the car wouldnt strugle. I guess you didnt lose it fast enough. LOL (help) (help) (help) (help) (help) (help)

Where can you find the DSM's AFC new online?
I just installed 505zooms Accuboost DS-1 kit but after reading about everyone blowing engines I haven't even switched to high boost since tuning it. And for those of you who have blown your engines does mazda cover it under warranty? Do you just swap everything back to stock or what? (Just in case...haha)

 

[ChopstickHero]

but the key is what were your mods when you did this? Were you tuned with ems? Did you ever get a dyno to see your a/f's?

these were his mods...

and i agree... don't go much higher than stock boost without supporting mods. or else boom boom. one thing is definitely to get is some kind of EMS before upping the boost.

The DSM AFC will lean it out which makes more horespower but is in no way safer than stock. It could be argued that at stock boost there is soo much fuel it does harm. But once the boost is raised fuel wash really isn't an issue anymore. The unit does nothing for timming which other (much more expensive) units could retard at higher boost and make it 'safer'. The DSM AFC is a nice unit that will make the car runner better, just not safer.

LOL, I would not try to blow your engine or anything, unless you are prepared to pay for it. Luckily they covered mine, but I would not count on it. I brought mine in bone stock, although it had mods when it blew. They gave me all kinds of hell at first. They told me that they could tell that the car had been modified at one time or another and made me bring them all maintenance receipts. Then they inpected the pistons for evidence of nitrous and high boost levels. In the end they covered it but I was lucky as hell.

I've been heavily favoring getting a Unichip just for the simplicity of plug and play, but I just came up with this setup:

What if you got the Accuboost dual stage boost controller, set 1st stage for stock boost and 2nd stage for 10psi? Add a DSM AFC to that. And add the J&S Safeguard as a safety net to retard timing if there's any detonation. Opinions?

1) Anyone know of anybody running similar to this?
2) Educated opinions on this setup versus the Unichip (on a car with Wagner FMIC, Wagner SRI, and GHL 3" Turbo-Back Exhaust?)

Note: I have modest goals for the MSP <230 whp (will probably never afford forged internals.

*I might hafta make a separate thread about this*

That would be a killer setup. More than enough power to break the rods LOL. J&S rules. You can get the extra gauge that lets you know when it's pulling timing. It's possible to run higher boost without the worry because it will let you know when it's pulling timing. That way if you get a tank of bad gas or the temperature drops you know when you've reached the danger zone.

i have basically the same setup and its been working fine. only thing i would add is larger injectors like 440cc. for all the precautionary measures you're taking to avoid detonation i'd hate to see you blow your motor b/c you're fuel can't keep up.

 

[Mazdaspeed989]

Hey I just installed my AFC, already have the Accuboost set at 10psi...what kind of guage would show if i'm "pulling timing"? and what kind of injectors are people using and having success with? this is kind of relevant for this thread...isn't it?

 

[goku4658]

DSM's AFC works with larger injectors? so can you just replace the stockers with WRX injectors?

 

[apocman]

It just depends on who you are and how much balls you have and much on the razors edge your willing to live...

my bro Yashooa on the forum has been running 12psi or greater since 03 completely stock. He recently added some mods, but still pretty stock.

Others have ran stock boost or close to stock boost from what they said and blew their s*** the first day....

I have been running 12psi daily for a while now...

wERD *****! 76k miles here, 34MPG, and stomping 1-3rd 12 times a damn day before this damn gas hike!
I have had a SERIOUS increase in power with the 12-15PSI, catless midpipe, and the Injen. I must drive in a very aware fashion and be mindfull of the boost as now it is completely out of control and is only limited by my right foot. I must obtain a new boost controller.

 

[jeffmsp]

brian blew his maxing out 5th gear didnt he? maybe that should also be a concideration, and the tons of other times its been driven hard. My stock motors mint also his pro5 may be heavier than a normal pro (not sure about all his mods and system) so that puts more load on the motor etc. i dunno brian knows more about cars than i do, but mines held together ok. see sig for mods.

This is not entirely true. Without any a/f control the MSP will start to LEAN out @ around 9psi towards redline with a FMIC and a larger exhaust setup. This has been confirmed by me and a few others on a dyno. Therefore you can actually add fuel at those lean spots with the AFC.

I have to agree Ive been running anywhere between 14psi and 12psi with a injen, joep mbc, fcd, and afc and a 3inch catless downpipe with NO Problems. I just clocked 45k. I really dont peak boost (12psi for now untill I get a fmic) but once maybe twice a day other than that I pull around 8 to 10psi. So far so good.
My $0.02

 

[jeffmsp]

without a fmic 12psi shouldnt be a big problem anyways since the boost is not making the same amount of power and you have the afc to keep from running lean. stock boost with a fmic feels like 10psi with the stock interwarmer.

 

[ChopstickHero]

get some EMS to run higher boost..... safely and reliably!
