Don't use the spanners to break them loose. Try a thick flathead and a hammer.
The MSP intake manifold has slightly more robust VICS flaps and screws, they didn't fall under the recall Mazda put out back in the day. I know it sounds crazy but I have taken my MSP manifold and the stock DE mani apart when I did a motor swap in one of my MSPs and they do appear slightly different. It's still possible the screws are backing out but unlikely.
Boostr if you need injectors I have a couple extra sets. I don't think injector seals would cause such a large leak but it's worth a shot.
im in the market for a good set of used coilovers. just saying.
I picked up a pair of reman msp front calipers today and one rotor as my driver side caliper has been sticking. gonna get to installing that this week when daylight allows. for the cost of these calipers though i could eat the core and upgrade to mazda 6 brakes SUPER cheap... these cost me $380 cdn with a rotor and brake fluid with core and all that. for some reason i thought they would be way more expensive.
so ill prob get a set of mazda 6 s front brakes in 2017 and upgrade my wife with these msp front brakes.
You can't rule out a base engine issue unless you've also done a leak down test... You may be building sufficient pressure, but can the engine maintain it...there is definitely something going on in cylinders 2 & 3 and its not the engine itself as borne out by my earlier compression check. .
I like the lightweight flywheel. I am running it with a spec 2+ clutch as well. But I'm probably going to stay away from going lightweight balencerI have the fidanza and a spec 2+ clutch and I notice a big difference. The car will stall easier from a stop, and it's more difficult to engage the clutch which is a combination of the grabby clutch and light flywheel but it's a side effect. It does seem to rev quicker and the RPMs drop faster between shifts. I would say it's worth it, every bit counts.
