from a couple people that certain color MSP's have problems and others dont. Is this true and also i heard our motors are pretty weak, how much HP can our stock internals push w/o snapping something?

Yes im very new to MSP's and Mazdas in general, just came from owning a 3000gt N/A

I don't think it depends on the color of the car, more on the driver upping the boost. The common MSP problems are there, if they happen to you, it's probably not going to depend on the color of your car.

As far as the internals, here are some threads to get you started, your answer is in about 85% of them.

The internals of the MSP are weak its just a normal protege engine with a turbo bolted ot it for the most part. The power out put really depends on the tune, how you drive, it ect... ect... ect...

The MSP's are all the same as far as the engine goes.

You can blow these motors up completly stock(rare) and then you can get a freak that will take just about anything you throw at it. JDMSam(I think ) achived 277whp on a stock block with a good tune. Now dont expect to get that or anywhere close.

They put out around 170hp at the fly stock and around 150ish to the wheels and thats only pushing 5-6.5lbs of boost.

Just do bolt ons and leave the boost level alone unless you have a tune other then the stock craptastic tune

^^He said, looks like rice, but nice. She said, looks really nice, I gave her a ride twice.

Awsome car and colour will not effect the issues, cause if it did, I would've bought a green MSP lol (not really).
As said above, if u want fun, get good rubber and an intake with an upgraded deck and pumping sub;
that's what I highly recomend without u lossing sleep at night

guys guys, we all know that color does affect drivability. it is a proven fact that yellow is fastest and therefore is prone to more defects than the other cars. also, there is a slight increment in ticket rates.

Oh you yellow guys are funny. Everyone knows the titaniums are the best!

in a serious note, mazda did post somehting on their website not too long ago stating that they may have "screwed up" and damaged some vehicles, and that for people to differenciate, they will paint them titanium silver. hence why alot more titaniums are having all sorts of problems. The clunk, in fact, is a Titanium Only issue, it just contaminates other MSP's on the lot and cars like Blazing Yellow Mika and Black got infected. Only way to reverse the damage is turn the boost all the way to 11.8 PSI, it has to be 11.8 because that's how long it takes the virus to die.

Anothe proven fact, BOOST = 1/4 Mile Runs.
So, a 11 second car means it is boosting 11PSI, a 9 sec car is boosting 9psi and so on.


i hope you've learned something today.

sam got close to those numbers on pirana's car! but that is with mam mani, perrin front mount, vibrant turbo back i believe, intercooler purge kit(nitrous), and tuned on the unichip i beleive @ 14 psi! not really a smart area to aim for if u ask me. lol but i think he ran it dd like that for a while!

And Titanium Silver is the best colour for police. Their lazers get jammed everytime they
are doing a speed trap when my car goes by. I've seen OPP officers throw the radar gun on the ground.
Clearly silver is unbeatable. Lol

i'll give it that much, but police shouldn't worry, titanium can't go fast. lol

he might have a point. the build quality on certain msps seems to be better than others, like if you car was built on a wednesday vs. a monday or friday.

you guys can go ahead and fight over who has the fastest color msp...after all everybody thinks laser blue msp's are subaru's, which cops don't even try to catch...

all I get is the obligatory "what is that?" gf said it looked like an evo, and I was torn between slapping her for saying such a thing, and hugging her for knowing what an evo was.
LOL at the color discussion. Sorry buys, but its always been all about the titanium.

Only the red wagons came with the bullit proofing options for a small fee $$$$$

Do yourself and your wallet a favor and be content with boltons and low boost :)

i really wish i could find the thread with the dyno of every color, sunlight silver whooped everyones ass and its dyno proven hahahaa, i only got one nice evo most of the time i get what the hell is that? its sick but what is it haha

to the op, enjoy the car how it is cuz once you start moding you cant stop,then you snap the lsd,then you blow the motor,then you forge it and boost big and blow out the tranny, just start saving hella money and do a nice build in the future trust me i wish i did it that way haha
