Do you mean blow off vavles??

I seriously doubt boost controllers as well. That would be setting themselves up for some serious warranty issues...I can see it now.

And by suspension, do you mean the springs, struts and sway bars, such as what they did for the MP3. Selling the parts to non MSP owners.

I know that Mazda was going to sell the suspension, and exhaust from the MSP to non-MSP owners like how they did with the MP3 parts. The item that we really want to know about is the damn LSD!

And no one has still provided the stock boost level via boost gauge reading, so no one for sure knows if it 5.9, 6.2, 6.9, 9 psi...And your mom working for Mazda isn't going to cut it on this one, because the business manager of Mazdaspeed is only stating old press release BS.

no no no, its a mazdaspeed boost controller

except there no controller.......or boost, and without the mazdaspeed part.....in fact, its a piece of metal that you are supposed to weld on to your engine......no known performance gains

(laugh) I'm a sceptic too. I mean if you look into the past, what manufacturer has ever made a boost controller available for one of their turbo production vehicles. To my knowledge.....0 It's just not a smart move for an automotive company since they have a warranty on all their vehicles. For a silly comparison, it would be like AA handing out shots of Tequila before a meeting.:D

Indeed, I'm also highly skeptical. Turning up the boost is a fast way to void your warranty.

Although it could be that they'd sell one and warranty only the boost controller, while voiding the car's warranty.

maybe its not really a controller to say, but somthing to raise the stock boost level 2-3 p.s.i. over stock. any way i dove one this past weekend in maimi and im thinking of going back this weekend to get it, ive been reading this forum for months now and now that i might be getting one i thought it was time to sign up, hello all.

Newf

Hmmmm, maybe Mazda purposely released the speed with a less psi then it could handle so they could make some money by selling a boost controller through the mazdaspeed line. Maybe the boost controller just brings it to around 200hp.

Think of it..... it would be a sneeaky, but good business decision.

slug420

01-01-2003, 08:32 PM

thats what im hoping.

stock psi of 6.9, "boost controller" boosts to max of 9 psi.....maybe you can switch from 6.9 to 9, but no way to boost over 9

it would make sense since a lot of press releases specifically said it could handle 9psi safely.......

i believe up until now mazdaspeed has not been fully affiliated with mazda

and it has been a big selling point of the MSP and the new mazdaspeed line that mazdaspeed upgrades will be made available without voiding the warranty

a LIMITED boost controller i can see. but there is no way mazda is gonna keep giving engines to idiots who think our engines can handle 1bar... i don't doubt that mazdaspeed has developed a BC either, but if it is an unrestricted BC, there will not be a warranty......

Thank Ford for the 170 hp limit. Since Ford released the Focus SVT, and it only puts out 170 hp NA, they are damn sure not going to let a car manufactuer that they own sell a car that is only $1500 more, with at least 50 more hp!
Supposedly, Callaway had the MSP over 200 hp when the first set it up. Then Ford made them back it down to 170, so as not to compete to heavily with the SVT Focus.

Um, wrong...Mazdaspeed parts are Mazda parts. Mazdaspeed is owned by Mazda, and therefore, the parts sold by Mazdaspeed carry and retain the mazda factory warranty.

Mazdaspeed parts in your Protege will not void your Mazda warranty...You are changing Mazda parts for different Mazda parts.

Not true. There were disclaimers on the MazdaSpeed parts web pages. If I bought the 21mm (or whatever size the bigger one was) rear anti-sway bar and put it on my P5 and it broke the brackets on the struts, I would be SOL.

Doesn't Mazdaspeed mods only apply to competition and not day-to-day use? From the disclaimer:
All suggested modifications and recommendations are intended solely for use on vehicles participating in off-highway competition events. Purchaser acknowledges that all Mazda vehicle warranties are voided if the vehicle is used in any Competition events.

Yes true. Mazda bought Mazdaspeed in 1999. All Mazdaspeed parts are considered Mazda parts and will not void your warranty.

Mazdaspeed Motorsports (formerly known as Mazda Motorsports) is an entirely seperate entity. You can purchase some Mazdaspeed parts throught them, however, such as the cams. The 21mm rear sway bar is made by AWR, not Mazdaspeed, hence no warranty from Mazda...

My dealer told me that unless the Mazdaspeed parts were purchased THROUGH the mazda dealer, they would NOT be warrantied. I was going to have the mazdaspeed flywheel installed when I had my cluctch/pressure plate/flywheel replaced. If I had been able to order it through the dealer (they didn't have the PN in their computer yet) it WOULD be covered by the warranty, but if I had ordered the same flywheel from protege5online, it would NOT be covered.

Your dealer is being a-holes then. If it is a Mazda part they HAVE to warranty it, no matter what. They just want to charge you through the nose with dealer mark-up.

A Mazda part is a Mazda part, whether it is bought from your dealership or through an importer like Mazdaspeed Motorsports or Cork Sport. If it is a Mazda part, then it is a Mazda part with the Mazda warranty that must be honored by any Mazda dealer.

01-03-2003, 08:11 PM

well yeah a mazda part will be warrantied if and only if the part is made for that car AND a mazda dealership puts it in.

b/c if you put the high compression pistons from the FS-ZE protege engine from japan and your car gets all fucked up then mazda will tell you to shove the car up your ass cuz they won't fix it. Those pistons are mazda parts but are not made for the US version of the protege. get me.

also if you by new cams for your car and install them your self and fuck up your car yet again mazda will tell you to take a hike b/c it was your fault.

see mazda not only has a warranty on the parts but also the install too. b/c you can have the right parts but if there not installed right then that can fuck up the car.

StuttersC

01-04-2003, 01:30 AM

I'm tired of arguing this point, you obviously have no idea what I am saying.

The part is warrantied no matter what if it a Mazda part, regardless of what market the part is for, regardless if it is a specialized part. Mazda parts are warrantied by Mazda, period.

As for the install, any Mazda dealer, or authorized mechanic (read as not a dealership mechanic) can do the install and that will warranty the stuff that way.

That is it. There is no, "Well this part is out of a FS-ZE motor and we will not warranty it." If they do, they are breaking the laws put in place covering warranties. It is that simple.

Why is everyone jumping my case about this shit?? I simply point out that Mazdaspeed parts will not void your warranty and you all jump knee deep in my trash pulling crap out of your ass trying to prove me wrong. Believe what you want, but this attacking bullshit is getting pretty damn tiring.

And most people say this site is "nicer" than the P-Club, and I'm beginning to think this place is just the same.

From Racing Beat MazdaSpeed Protege Q&A (https://www.racingbeat.com/pdf/q_a.pdf):

Q. Will MAZDASPEED parts be included under the Mazda warranty?

A. MAZDASPEED street parts will be covered under the existing Mazda warranty. Competition and off-road parts will be sold without a warranty.

I guess the real question is are the parts MAZDASPEED street parts or competition or off-road parts? It would make a lot of sense to me to have a boost controller or whatever as a competition part.

The reason I brought it up was not to put down anybody or prove anybody wrong but to make sure nobody goes ahead and buys something thinking it is included under the warranty and then gets screwed. It is about being nice. It's about protecting other board members. Don't take it personally.

Look i don't want to be an asshole or any thing b/c you a cool guy and shit, but they way your sayin is that i can take a part out of a diesel mazda egine and out it on a gas engine? it is a mazda part. Or i can take the turbo off a mazda diesel engine and put it on my engine and everything is ok? right? you can't just mix and match parts. Mazda is warranting the engine they built and sold to you. you start to put other parts on it and change the engine with other "mazda" parts then it's not the engine they have the warranty on. so if that part, either mazda part or not that was put on the car other then mazda, fails or causes a problem then you out of luck. that is all i'm saying.

You see the product(s), think, investigate @ store (ask questions/read labels). Once the product has been identified, GET YOUR CAMERA!!! Take good, legible pictures. Scan, download, ask someone if you don't know how. Post pictures @ the SAME time as your post describing what you saw the day you went in to work with your Mom. Then start meaningful thread about the capabilities and ideas on how to install it.

Hey guys..
Im new here just bought my MSP 2 days ago.
Just thought id introduce myself and give my insight on the mazdaspeed parts issue.
Im afraid I dont have much info but it maybe just a glimpse of hope.
I was talking to the parts guys I "kinda" know at my dealer when I purchased the car. I asked if MS was coming out with any other parts for the car. He says " oh im not sure". I then proceed to tell him about the rumors of more parts coming out including the boost controller. He then looks at me very confusingly and says " oh well.. uhh we're not supposed to say anything yet". And with a weird smile pats me on the shoulder and walks away.
I know its not much but hey... sounds rather promising.

big_ben

01-23-2003, 11:48 PM

I'll tell you what. This is how sure that mazda isn't selling a "mazdaspeed" boost controller. If they do start selling one, I'll buy the first person who takes a photo of it and brand new MSP. Mazda knows the engine can't handle much more boost. Any of you that think otherwise, you need to do a little more research on this motor like the rest of us here have. You are just making yourself, look stupid.

i dont think there is anything stupid about thinking mazda might release a boost controller to increase the boost from 6.9 to a safe 9psi......

ehwal

01-24-2003, 12:50 AM

If i know Mazda.. and i think i know them pretty well, they would 1st make a part to reduce Boost before they would ever increase it. In their eyes more boost is bad boost especially if they get the bill when the engine starts hurtin. Not to say that the engine wouldn't be safe @ 9 psi, Mazda just aint gonna risk it.

Maybe Mazdaspeed would, but it wouldn't be warrantied, and it would cost a hell of alot more than any of the extremely compitent controllers that are already out there.

andr3w

01-24-2003, 07:25 AM

Don't forget, this is published on the Mazda web site:

"Soon you'll be able to purchase some of the same MAZDASPEED competition parts available to racers, plus a new upcoming line of performance-enhancing parts and accessories for street use."

Now in terms of getting photos from within MNAO. Well, I have been in the building and they use swipe cards to access all doors after the foyer. Security is pretty anal, more so than Ford offices where you can just walk in and get to the person or meeting. Further, photograph taking at ANY automotive facility is difficult. We have not been allowed to photograph our line side bin and inventory solutions at plants (GM, Ford, AAI etc). Now it might be bullshit, but I can imagine Colin's Mom telling him no-way to photos... and he is hardly going to push the issue with the way he is treated on this board.

01-24-2003, 11:06 AM

It's been mentioned before, but I'll rehash.

Mazda Knows the engine will take 9 psi safely, and that at 12 psi you'll see damage after time.

It would be in Mazda's best interest financially, especially since they can't be making much money on the Speed as it is, to release the car with a lower psi then it can safely handle, then release the boost controller as a Mazdaspeed product. This makes the customer happy, gives Mazdaspeed a viable product, and give Mazda some money, and good press for their new Mazdaspeed line.

If this was the case, not saying it is, but it's a really good business decision......kinda srewing us in a way making it so we have to buy the controller and all

spoolinmp3

01-24-2003, 12:51 PM

Yes the FS motor can handle 9 psi safley. But that is the limit of the motor. So why would a car company inrease the boost and push the vehicle to the threshold? It just does not make any sense. Big Ben is correct he just is very blunt about it......but he is correct. And releasing the boost controller as better business??..well if you look at it like that then why did not mazda release the car with 9 psi??? That would have been much better. Because then the car would have a higher HP , better times, better stats ect and they would be selling a 20,000 car that has 25,000 performance stats. So mazda aint stupid. If they were to release this car with 9psi they would have done it initially when they were being sold and released the "inflated" stats in the press kits so all the journalists could hype up the MSP.

Newf

01-24-2003, 01:14 PM

it's not better business if the engines start blowing up no. But, if they want MAzdaspeed to have a real impact, they are going to have to release something more then stickers, and some CAI's or something. A boost controller would be real nice. Who's to say they will push it all the way to 9? We don't even really know what the stock psi is yet.

I'm just saying, that after every stunt Mazda has pulled in the past, I wouldn't doubt they reduce the PSI on purpose. not saying they did because as you say, it would be kind of like shooting themselves in the foot in one respect.

big_ben

01-24-2003, 01:15 PM

Power always has it's trade-offs. The more power you pull out of a motor that wasn't meant for it, the more of it's life is sacrificed. Please tell me why Mazda wants everyone to have a very fast car for only 5 years.

That is just the stupidity of the writers. Actually, it's not really stupidity, they just didn't do research on the subject they were writing about. Which is unprofessional and makes them look stupid. If they had done their research they would have known the trannys are fine, it's the rods and pistons that are weak. And it's not that they are weak, they just weren't designed for a turbo motor. They are cast, they are designed for a NA motor.

obviously the engine can handle more boost. mazda is not going to mass-produce a car that is teetering on the edge of fast and damaging (which I would love to push it to). The car CAN OBVIOUSLY handle atleast some more boost without horrible problems, hey- what a new engine in a couple of years...

Like most of us said, it can easily handle 9psi. But no more or it will lose a considerable amount of it's life span.

02-02-2003, 05:50 PM

guys, as for the thought that it would make more business sense to have the boost increased already, it isn't true. It makes more business sense to "segment" the market in order to "squeeze" out as much money from the customers. In other words, the msp has a fair bit of power already and lots of mods to make it attractive, but then they supply "upgrades" that cost you more in the end than if the car already came with them.

StuttersC,

I have had a boost guage in my orange MSP for about two weeks now and it usually peaks (and holds) at .51 hkpa which equals 7.49 psi. With the stock air box in place it was consistenly .48 = 7.05 psi. Once in awhile, it will peak showing .54 = 7.93 psi. If you do want to see pics of the boost guage install, go to my website.

Yeah .48 and sometimes .51 if the weathers right. I can post a pic to prove it.

Ever since this morning, my MSP is running .56 and .57. I am not sure why. I added a ram air to my CAI box, but that was two days ago. I can also hear the turboe whining, not sppoling, but whining, and boosting up sooner.

Hmm...

WHERE IS THE PROOF?!? Pictures of it please...

Do you really want me to waste my time and take a picture of my boost gauge cause u dont believe me. Hear Ill hit the peak hold and show u! I havent installed my boost controller yet cause I dont have my A/F installed. I never said anything about mazda selling these parts. I'm with U. Thats like TRD selling a Greddy t78 kit for a Supra and Toyata installing it and Warr. it. Its just hipe. Yes they do sell Mazdaspeed parts at my Dealer. Do u want me to take a pic of those. They are all the stock parts off our car like the sway bars, shocks, spoiler, mats, and badges.

Yep, 18 weeks old and it already moves all it's fingers and toes and sucks it's thumb. It's simply amazing. It's my first, so it's a little wierd. I'm a nurse by trade, but it's different when it's yours, it's (he's) actually the reason I had to go buy a four door, god I hated that...jk

Thanks,
