What have you done to your MSP today?

[Perro del Sol]

Well here's my msps replacement. Got it this weekend.

2006 mazdaspeed 6 sport in velocity red mica. Has 94k miles. Cpe long dp, Corksport exhaust, turbo inlet pipe of some sort, turbo cd bov, cobb accessport, hid headlights with halos and fogs, led tails, gen pu speed three wheels with new tires, tokikco blues with road magnet springs, led interior lights.....will have fmic and cobb intake soon. Paid $9000 for it.

Damn Mike,, nice find! I expect to see you and the car @ Road Atlanta and Mid-Ohio

Haltech and the Disco Potato are going in this weekend.....

 

[2.0t03speed]

hey fools i just lowered the price on my mpi setup to 325 and my j&s to 250. i know someone with a ballin msp needs these.

 

[Spiced MSP]

hooked the Haltech back up and started messing with it a little more. This is my idle as of right now. The bouncing idle is from the electrical load from the radiator fan cycling on and off and also from the RPM from me revving it some. The only way to stabilize it is to gently push on the gas. This is as far as I have gotten with it. I'll probably mess with it again tomorrow or this weekend sometime.

I will be there. Should have the fmic on by then I'd hope and the 20psi tune by my bestie, one of the original 2 guys from PERM tuning. Also fixing the smoking at idle this weekend I hope.

Anyone have tips on how to change the dashboard light colors? What led's to use, where to get them, etc. Also, is there a way to remove the green glass behind the cluster?

 

[VIPMSP]

changed spark plugs & coil packs, took off OEM exhaust mani last night... also dunked on a 9.5 ft. net!

installing new control arms, steedspeed & pope DP today!

How are you fixing the smoking at idle? Only way I know is to replace the turbo.

Does an upgraded exhaust manifold aid in performance? by that I mean does it flow better than stock by a lot.

It does aid but one of the major reason for upgrading is that the stock one cracks very easily.

i honestly have no idea why... my stock mani has been through so much abuse and has zero cracks... original owner built the engine and had it at 16psi, than second owner had it at 12-16psi and ive had it from 10-14psi the 14psi being a disco potato... zero cracks and i have about 120k on it....

It has nothing to do with how much power you are putting down or how much you are boosting, it cracks because the stock engine mounts are very weak and flexible and there is no give in the exhaust so the bulk of it is transferred to the manifold. Since you do not have stock mounts then if it is not cracked it probably will stay intact.

^^^^^^ +1

 

[spicymspvt19]

haha well that answered my question. sitting at 120k and no cracks (knock on wood). I figured there's not much room to make it flow better, but obviously the "log" design is probably lesser than the 4-2-1 designs like the MAM.

 

[2.0t03speed]

the mam manifolds are all 4-1. We are the only company to ever put out a 4-2-1 manifold for the 3rd gen protege to my knowledge.

washed and waxed yesterday

 

[VIPMSP]

^ looks good man! a DG lip on the front would really complete the look (imo)

 

[Spiced MSP]

I want another DG lip.

 

[VIPMSP]

I want another DG lip.

i want somebody to design a NEW lip. something in between the 03.5 and DG.

subtle, yet different that what's currently available. no over-the-top rice BS tho

 

[323]

something like this! YES!!
