What have you done to your MSP today?

[Maiello169]

New BOV came in today, well two came in today, the one that broke, they sent me a new one as well.... so now i have an extra i guess lol

 

[Ricktalife]

Well I've been dreaming of a newer car lately as well. I'd love to get something like an Altima SE-R so I can go back to N/A but still have a good mix of performance and reliability for a daily. Unfortunately I'm in college and it I don't make good money so the MSP is sticking around for a while longer.

But good news for the MSP tonight. Got an email from Sam saying that he spoke to AEM and after he provided the specs of our motor they were able to point him to the correct calibration file that we should use, so my car doesn't go boom.

question for you guys

might be trading some older wheels for a set 09+ RX8 wheels tire size 225/45R18. You think ill have a problem with fitment?

not sure if anyone tried that combo before.

 

[Jaleik]

Hmm im not sure how 45/18 would work, I think you may have issues there.

 

[Wagonbacker9]

agreed, diamter would be the concern... Give it a try. I'd bet they'll fit, but they will probably rub in the front at full lock.

thats the stock rx8 tire size. and i saw pleny of people on here just swap the wheels between cars.

 

[fatti03msp]

i know the rim will fit, just not sure about the tire. Well lets see if the guy will get back to me and hopefully i can find out.

 

[Jaleik]

Im pretty sure people use 215/35/18 or 225/35/18 with these rims on the msp

I run 225/40/18 and it rubs slightly on a 7.5" wheel. I'm slightly lowered on Espelir springs.

Sweet is this for the AEM EMS-4 or the AEM FIC?

Does anyone know how tight the turbo oil feed line should be tightened on the block end? is hand tight good enough? I don't want oil all over the back of my motor.

 

[SCMP3]

I wouldn't think that would be tight enough

 

[destineal]

thx 4 the reply. gonna have to stick a wrench back there.

 

[Maiello169]

Ways out at 730 this morning before work to swop our the BOV, no more flutter and sounds pretty good , let's hope it stays that way lol

 

[Preferio]

Either going to buy an Autometer Sport Comp Wideband today for $60 (used) or and Innovative Motorsports LC-1 wideband for $150 (new)...

 

[Knox Joe]

Gonna be turning the boost down, and shutting off the methanol today for winter.

 

[SeR_Cyclops]

sad day.

It's for the EMS-4. I sold the FIC a while back and decided to go all out so I can get the most power out of my setup.

i had 215/35s on my speed6 rims last summer, just changed to a 215/40 for next summer and i can already tell you the ride is better and its nicer having a bit larger tire.
