OK- here is the info on the FP reducer kit....

[servoeyes]

Damn...while I'm not sure I want to go drilling up in my stuff, this kit is showing a TON of promise for 25$! You da man Joe...(bowdown)

I am humbled. It's a great and simple design, that not just any shlub whould think of. Good, sound, and solid engineering at work here...I love to see that! I may just pick this up after full beta of v0.2 is complete. Damn Mazda for draggin their feet! But thank you for hanging around and keeping us all on your mind! Good job!

If you have a K&N, you can tap into the filter neck instead, but you will get better results in the pipe..

Joe just sent ya some PayPal can't wait to get it installed, if anyone else in the GTA is ordering one maybe we can have them shipped together to save some border fee's. Oh thats a good question, what about the shipping to Canada Joe? was that included in the $25? if not let me know and we can work on it

 

[kwiktsi]

Don't worry about extra shipping there, it is light.. I just hate those damn customs forms, but I think it may be light enough that I won't need them.. It is only over a certain weight. So you probably won't even have fees on your end..
Joe

 

[tekkie]

good point Joe your probably right

 

[RuggedMazda]

Where in NY are you? If you aren't too far, we can meet up and compare notes and such.. I'll let you take mine for a spin to do a back to back comparison. Let me know.

I'm in Wingdale or Dover plains, We should me up some day.
I would love to see your car & compare it to my car.
lets set something up next month ( to many bills this month
to take the little trip up to you )....

Maybe those who don't want to drill their stuff can order a new pipe and keep one with no hole and one with.

Thanks for the work Joe!

I don't want to leave my Stock class in AutoX just yet so I am not modding anything. This little mod here though really gives me some incentive though. I really hate when it falls on its face like that.

 

[kwiktsi]

That pipe probably isn't cheap from Mazda. I would be curious to find out though..

As for "stock", do you think anyone would even notice an extra vacuum line? Maybe I will look to find an "OE" style hose so it isn't as noticeable .. The hose I am using now is fuel/vacuum hose. Maybe I can find something with a thinner wall..

yes, the car runs rich. That would explain the way it feels at certain points along the rpm band. This work you have done sounds like it will help out. Are the instructions, ummm, layman friendly. diagrams and such? I would hate to drill the wrong hose.

This kit will help with the over rich condition while under boost. normal cruising will not be affected.

The instructions will be fairly straightforward. I was going to have diagrams, but my drawing skills are non-existant ..

The only pipe you drill is the large plastic pipe that the MAF and airfilter are attached to.

what will the results be with the upcoming injen intake installed? i dont have an accurate A/F or any A/F at all actually , or a wideband or any of that stuff, so....would it still be very safe to drive?

if you already mentioned the Injen, then sorry, i didnt catch it

Then you will run pretty much as strong as I did when I pulled (slightly) on the 01 Mustang GT ..

It has been tested on more modded cars than stock.. It is the stock ones I am anxious to get feedback on .
Joe

 

[MazdaDryvr]

well my car is stock except for a drop in K&N. I have felt the "stumbling" and wondered why it was there. I sure would like to see it gone. If it could run smooth......sweeeeet!

You will be fine. I wanted to get the kit to people who had proper gauges to monitor things first just in case the various climates give mixed results, but based on the three test cars (scattered acrross the country to test the climate thing), there will be no problem for anyone.. I'm sure if there is a weather change and something doesn't seem right, people with AF gauges (including myself) will sound an alert. I am very confident there will be no issues though as it is still pretty rich up top and has more room to be leaned out for optimum performance- I just wanted to keep it safe also.
