What have you done to your MSP today?

[Dpwhitehead1]

thats what I like to hear...(nana)

and another thing to think about.. 1st gear in the proteges regardless are s***.. they're too short... but you can build full boost w/a flywheel. no problem.

 

[ItsSlow]

A lighter flywheel takes away some of the load that is given with the stock flywheel.. More rotating mass = more load = builds boost quicker.. It may rev quick, but its less load on the engine..

I never thought of it like that...

Tis true.

With that said, I still build boost in 1st gear easily after my LWFW. 1st is pretty much useless as far as accelerating quickly, unless I want to kill tires.

Daily drivability isn't the greatest, but that could be the Spec Stage 3 too. All-in-all, it's not bad once you get used to it.

Exactly. I have the Fidanza flywheel and the Unorthodox UDP so there's quite a bit less rotating mass going on down there (will be counter-acted by the forged pistons and rods later on). Not like I really need to build full boost in first anyway - even at like 0-1 psi in first my wheel (LOL) is already spinning even with the heavy-ass MSP wheels.

BTW, I'll be driving up to Cincinnati today so any of you OH MSP-ers who might happen to be in the area be sure to give a wave if you see a red P5 with a front mount

today i stared at it in my drive way, i finally have her back and she is gorgeous, and pulls like a MOFO with the gt28rs

 

[2.0t03speed]

nice how much boost u runnin ans did yoiu get any head work done?

how many miles on the new engine?

 

[S.A.MSP]

head work is not done yet, the spare head is still at the shop, i'm boosting in the lines of 15-17psi, i haven't driven her that much cause i need to do some tunning, the knock i had is completely gone after I re-bearinged the bottom end

 

[S.A.MSP]

how many miles on the new engine?

it wasn't brand new, had 5k or so on it when i got it, i put about 1k more on it

How so? Forged pistons and rods are lighter than the stock cast units

what ended up being the problem?

 

[S.A.MSP]

the reluctor (sp?) gear had two teeth that were bent, every time it got to those teeth the cars starting sequence would restart so it never saw top-dead-center and it threw the timing out of wack, ******* s*** cost me so much to fix, it's gonna take me a while to get back on my feet

wow thats wierd

 

[S.A.MSP]

yeah, it was all fine and dandy for three weeks till the alt pulley broke then i spun a bearing and yada yada yada, it drives damn good now though, i just need to tune it and i'm doing it today

i know, it was the alt belt that bent the teeth

what ems? split second?

 

[S.A.MSP]

what ems? split second?

yeah the SS, it's a piece of cake, i'm still waiting on the Megasquirt

 

[Matrix]

yeah the SS, it's a piece of cake...

If you don't mind, where did you purchase the SS AFC from?
