What have you done to your MSP today?

No - it's perfectly normal. Pressure is determined by the amount of load on the engine. In neutral there is next to no load on the engine so it's hard to build positive pressure. Hell, with an underdrive crank pulley and lightweight flywheel I can barely build pressure in first gear!

ok good, cause with the stock bpv i used to be able to while driving and putting the car in neutral and hitting the gas and now i cant

 

[magnumP5]

Makes sense. The stocl BPV is weak as hell. The Boost Sciences RDV has a stiffer spring so it requirres greater force to let off.

 

[mgerst1]

true

yea the way most people get boost built at idle using a launch controller is by richening out the mixture and letting it sit at the new low rev limiter for a while

what boost do u get in 1st? I usually hit between 9-11

1-2 psi maximum really. If it's colder outside it may go a little higher. There just isn't enough load on the engine. I'm sure with a LSD I'd be able to build more as I'd actually have traction to generate load on the engine. Right now, with the open diff I get one wheel spinning like crazy so the load on the engine is low.

I see, that could cause it, still seems low.

Yeah, it does but I kind of like it because it helps me maintain some notion of traction. If I hit 10 psi 1st gear would be nonexistent. I still easily hit 10 psi in any other gear.

lol, whoops typo

 

[mgerst1]

what the hell is wrong with the forum i either cant get on or it is all screwed up when i do

 

[SleepyMSP]

the servers are down and they're trying to fix them

 

[mgerst1]

ah

 

[stdntDrvr]

i'm considering selling off a few parts...but i'm not quite sure yet...probably sell the oil press/wbo2...FF radio bezel and autometer triple pod pillar...plus the spare intake mani...and an sls t-stat housing...and my TT...

i'm trying to decide if i want to take the time to wire everything up or just sell it off...i really don't 'need' it.

Today I'm keeping my fingers crossed as this month's Mazda of the Month comes to a close!

 

[ItsSlow]

Received my tag today in the mail.. ITSSLOW again..

 

[MSP2024]

still counting the days telll i get it back haha

 

[Wagonbacker9]

slid on a gas station entrance that was pure ice, f'd up my lip, and a little bit of the bumper... (rant)(hand)

 

[MSP2024]
