[azian6er]

haha im eyeing that too lol...

we have some pretty quick cars though for sure.

someone needs to hit 12s!

focus:
13.76 @ 101.027

[Metal MP5]

hopefully, focus will get there in about a week or two. He bent a rod last saturday (EBC was fucked so he used an MBC set at 12psi but it spiked at 17 and poooof ...)

the car is at the shop right now, getting CP pistons and Oliver rods ... nitrous, 4 extra injectors, port polish exhaust/intake/head. Hopefully he'll hit the 12s before the end of the season =)

[azian6er]

werd. what will he be using for fuel managment?

-B

[JONBOY688]

got to love the old mbc, mines spikes like to 15psi for a split second then holds 10psi, well it did on the stk turbo

[BlkZoomZoom]

Someone give me a set of slicks, I'll be the first to the 12's.

[Metal MP5]

werd. what will he be using for fuel managment?

-B
he already has the MPI

[Focus]

Using the MPI for Management in conjunction with a J&S Safeguard for my mistakes, and an Innovate LM-1 for datalogging and tuning. But at least I did a nice run:

13.767 @ 101.027 at 9.5 lbs. boost

I twisted my rod on the next run, looking for 12lbs.
Attached is a picture of my new trophy!!!!!! (hand)

[Equinox]

Yay I wanna go to the track now and post! Need clutch first.

[BlkZoomZoom]

updated- Amazing 60' Focus.....What size slicks are you using?

[MSP Chris]

Bahh I hate the bradenton motorsports park, only got 3 runs in, still getting used to the new mounts. My best run, the one which i didnt bog out of the hole got messed up by the printer ( I swear ), they claimed it was due to the hurricanes.

60' - 2.414
1/8 - 9.364
1/8 mph - 82.50
1/4 - 14.170
1/4 mph - 102.45

Just out of curiosity, and no not all tracks are the same. About 75 or so degrees, I was launching 3.5k to 4k and I could'nt get the tires to break loose out of the hole. It would just jump and then bog a little, my a/f guage jumped lean while it was doing this. I believe the joe p. fcd is at fault, but this never happens on the street...so any thoughts / comments?

Do you use nitrous,, cause no offense those are pretty bad 60 ft. for those times, and i know you claim you have all stock stuff but u never said what you had on top of the stock set up.
Thanks, i was just curious,
Matt

[Metal MP5]

seriously, how can you get better 60' than that with stock tires ?

best i've ever done was 2.235

[BlkZoomZoom]

No nitrous....

I've stated many times most of what I have done. Ya just gotta look. Don't use the stock tires, I have drag radials.

I have gotten 2.19 w/ stock tires, but that was when I was running 15's. More hp= harder to launch.


someday you'll know what I mean...............lol

i know what you have. i find it funny everytime i see someone ask you about your times hehe.

i did a 2.21 60' last night .. the guy had just put a bit of glue on the track so it helped. but it was cold ... with glue and a hot day, i'm sure i can do under 2.2

your times are REALLY good. i give you props!!!! that track must SUCK ass for 60ft. with d/r 's you should be getting 2.0 or better. if you got 2.0 or better you would well into LOW 13's. i used to get 2.1 on stock p5 street tires and ran 13.8 @ 102.... so i do know how hard it is to launch these cars. IT's A BITCH!!!!!

[2K3 MSP]

Well, I guess you can add me to the list. This is from back in April, but I never posted in here.

60ft time: 2.187

1000' time: 12.198

FMIC, DP, CAI, catback, MBC @ 11psi

[BlkZoomZoom]

Yeah the track does suck pretty bad......something about having water seep up when the sun goes down. I have video of the car running a couple of 13.4 and 13.6 passes. It's pretty amazing seeing how fast I get into 4th. gear......litteraly takes 6 sec. and I'm into fourth. (because it spins so bad through the first 3 gears.)

If I could get a 1.9 or 1.8, I would be in the 12's. I haven't gone past 12psi since the new intake manifold went on because the times slow down due to spinning too hard when shifting to 3rd.

[Fast lane]

Can you post the videos??please

[BlkZoomZoom]

VHS......Supposedly my g/f is gonna get someone to switch it to computer mumbo jumbo....but I'm not holding my breath....

[BlkZoomZoom]

If anybody has the ability to switch the video footage...send me a pm.

right on.... i REALLY want to see someone get into 12's on the stock turbo!!!!!(eekdance)
what are you doing as far as shift points? are you early shifting to get into the higher gears and letting the turbo do most of the work?

that's what im aiming for ... hopefully, early next summer ill be done with the forged internals and be able to push the stock turbo as far as it can. i know 12s wont be easy but i can dream can i ? hehehe

stuff to come: pistons / rods, ported exhaust/head/intake, 3" exhaust, maybe a few more little things ... before i start thinking about changing turbo or modifying the stock one

[EvilMSP]

Dinospeed did a good upgrade to his T25 and gets boatloads of power with really fast spool up apparently.

[chrisjw85]

Can someone change mine to a 15.0 @ 91.13 mph stock with front motor mount pretty please?

[Crock]

I was really hoping to break into the 15's.
I ran a 16.078 @ 89.43 MPH.
Mods: STOCK.
http://www.msprotege.com/members/Crock/MSPslip3.jpg
Put me on the list.


The best part was the guy who does the tech inspections. He asks me if this is the first time I did this. I said yes. Then he asked me if I'm expecting to run in the nine's. I started laughing so hard. I was like, woah... this car is fast but not that fast. Wait until I get some mods on here buddy.

[BlkZoomZoom]

Updated-

I shift at 6400rpm, go through the traps on a good launch sitting on the rev limiter in 4th., bad run I shift to 5th.

[Crock]

I just re-read the list. Does the flash count as a mod? If so I have it.

Also, my times will most likely improve with more experience. It was my first time at the track.

only trapping 85 at 8psi on a t3, something doesn't seem right....

[1FASTMP5]

only trapping 85 at 8psi on a t3, something doesn't seem right....
yep, and dynoed @ 163whp????? something is def wrong here...

[mp5jeff]

might want to check the engine compression or something....my car traps over 100 at 7psi...and that's on drag radials..

[Metal MP5]

you might wana work on your launch. I'm sure you can do a good 0.4 or 0.5 better if you lower your 60' to 2.300 or 2.250 .... i think i ran a 15.4 with a 2.235 60' back when i was stock. And stock MSPs have like 145whp ? I guess maybe the heat also affects your speed uh ?

[BlkZoomZoom]

am I supposed to add the non-msps???

I think he forgot to push the pedal ALL the way down.

[mp5jeff]

lol blk, that explains it!, but still doesn't explain his horrible dyno #, although im the last person to believe in dyno #s but that track time is pretty bad and seems to match that dyno...

[BlkZoomZoom]

I'm pretty sure you would get better than 84mph with 163hp........ I mean I'm stock and I've run 106-107.......

[Metal MP5]

I mean I'm stock and I've run 106-107.......

lol

[mp5jeff]

yea true, there has to be something wrong with his car, some of the n/a p5s on here have better times/traps with less hp...

[Focus]

Well the track was really cold tonight. On the original Bridgestone's I only managed to pull off a 14.0 @ 104. :confused:

[BlkZoomZoom]

2nd. gear launches rule on the stock tires.....2 weeks ago I managed a 13.67 w/ a 2.21 60'

[mp5jeff]

ive tried 2nd gear launches while back on street tires, didn't seem to work as well for me...

[1FASTMP5]

2nd. gear launches rule on the stock tires.....2 weeks ago I managed a 13.67 w/ a 2.21 60'

THAT is the only thing i never did in the p5. ive always heard trying 2nd gear launches somtimes works out good for drag.... hmmmmm, maybe i will try it in the srt-4 this next track day?

[mp5jeff]

just plan on slipping the clutch :D, try just lowering tire pressure and do 1st gear launch if you are getting 2.2 or better on street tire no need to try 2nd gear starts, you most likely won't do better then that

[Focus]

I might try that because at 17 psi boost, the tires lite up in the first three gears.

[BlkZoomZoom]

17psi....... I can't even imagine

[JDM Sam]

I'm pretty sure you would get better than 84mph with 163hp........ I mean I'm stock and I've run 106-107.......
You need to get someone to record a video next time you go to the track.
I wanna show some people how fast the msp can be "stock"
(rlaugh)

[BlkZoomZoom]

I have video of it but its on vhs.

[Metal MP5]

dont you have a video of you racing an EVO ?

i think i have it somewhere

[BlkZoomZoom]

thats azian6er........he's slower. and spun less.

[azian6er]

thats azian6er........he's slower. and spun less.


:rolleyes:

i am not slower. You are a better driver. IF we lined them up and went i would have you by the top of third im sure.

And also, i spun MORE you just cant hear the falken azenis sports spin. They are soft and they dont squeal like other tires.

Just clarifying things

[Metal MP5]

what size Azenis did you get ? any rubbing ?

i've read that the tires are actually wider than the number says. i wana change tires next year and would like to get the falkens

[jonbig]

I am planning on making my first trask visit soon. Im kinda scared, could you guys give us newbies some tips? i.e tire pressure, launchiing, or just draggin in general..also i have the nitto neo gens on the right now, and i dont think theyt are sticky at all, shouldi wait and put some sticker ones on or go as is?

[azian6er]

azenis is usually 10 larger then what a regular tire is. now i am using 215-45-16 and that is eqiv to 225 45 16 of another tire.

[Metal MP5]

and you're using 16" ?

maybe 215 17 would rub a bit

[BlkZoomZoom]

lol

I wondered how long it would take for a response, I hope you make more power.....I'm stock still.

The only thing added to my car is the exhaust, flywheel, clutch, silicone vacuum hoses,and boost controller.... everything else is what it came from the factory with.

I never said I haven't tweaked anything.

[1FASTMP5]

lol, im just playing around. I dont mislead people though.....

-B

hahahah.... i know.. hey did you ever find a used head? pm me if you haven't....

[azian6er]

yeah my guy got it welded up today. It is gonna be pressure tested etc tomorrow and i will most likely have it by thursday/friday.


and blkzoomzoom... "tweaked" is adding fuel. What you have done is a bit more than a "tweak" i think lol.

Well another couple of runs at the track tonight. The clutch was holding out this time. Only thing was I was spinning 1st 2nd and 3rd.

You hit it right on the nose. If you do a search you will find in other threads all the modifications done to his car. It's not a big secret, all the mods have been talked about before.

nice trap :)

[Metal MP5]

the real test will be on saturday with slicks

but its getting so cold here now that even last time with slicks we couldnt do better than a high 2.0 to 2.1 60' so the slicks dont stick as much as during the summer

with a bit of luck ... i think he'll take the #1 spot on the list =) hehe

[1FASTMP5]

do some good burn out's on those slicks to get them HOT! try 2nd gear burn out's....you can spin them for longer and faster then in 1st. watch the tranny though.

[Metal MP5]

hehe yea

i tried that before but for some reason my RPM kept going up but my speed was at 0 ..... poor clutch

he changed his clutch yesterday so 2nd gear burnout will probably work

[MSP2NV]

is there a way to get my name up there, if all i have to do is right down my mods and time like listed above, i'll do it in this post, but if there are some type of rules lemme know.

15.235 @ 91.40 MPH MODS: AEM Intake, ECU ReFlash Stock Boost, and me driving

[Focus]

Well It's official, I did it!!!!

Best Run:

Here are the pics.

[Focus]

Here is the warm-up and the time slip.

[JDM Sam]

damn man great job! represent!

[jonbig]

Here is the warm-up and the time slip.

hell yes! good job man....now the questions lol..how much boost? what kind of tires? anything else that you could possibly tell us...

[mp5jeff]

damn how did you GAIN so much mph with a better 60' and slicks?

[Metal MP5]

he was running about 18psi on a GT28RS, M/T Slicks

mp5jeff: he had alot of stuff done since last time. changed turbo, ported intake/exhaust/head, pistons/rods, new Bully clutch (which is pretty much a bullyshit clutch). he was able to do about 4 runs and the clutch went. its supposed to be a stage3 but it couldnt handle it. apparently the pressure plate is crap

last track day of the season will be on the 31st .... 12.5 maybe =)

[mp5jeff]

ahh ok so it wasn't near the same setup, just wondered lol...

[EvilMSP]

Congrats!! (nana)

[BlkZoomZoom]

amazing.....Now at least I have something to shoot for this friday (last track day).....and this time I have some real tires....

of course I have to get the car started again....

[Focus]

Yeah gonna get a drag pressure plate made and installed, for next week. Our last day at the track. Hopefully I can get a 12.5 before storage.

[2K3 MSP]

That's just awsome:) Congrats!!

[Focus]

That's just awsome:) Congrats!!
I was very happy with that time.

[2K3 MSP]

I would shit my pants if my car ran that quick. LOL. I'll be glad to get mine into the 13's next season:) 12's is just unimagineable for me.

[azian6er]

very nice man. very respectable trap and et.

what kinda of afrw were you running at 18psi ? what kind of work did you get done to the head? Seemes like it made a big difference.

-Bryan

[Metal MP5]

we tuned the car with the LM1 wideband (everybody should get one)

between 11.6 and 12.2

[Focus]

Runners were gasket matched and knife-edged. 4 angle valve job. Combustion chamber was relieved ever so slightly by the intake valves.

[azian6er]

yeah this is the one i am using right now. I m curious about the head work. Di he have a valve job done? or was it just a mild port and polish job?

Im just trying to see where this power is comming from.

-bryan

[Metal MP5]

you guys pretty much have the same setup i think ... same turbo, piggyback, 18psi, etc ....... you two almost trapped at the same speed (109 vs 112) but have 0.6sec difference. tires maybe ?

if i were you, i would ask xsivspd how he did a 13.1 @ 12psi
or was that answered already ? THATs impressive.

[Metal MP5]

hopefully, i'll be done with my engine before the end of the winter and be in the 13sec club too (maybe 12s hehe)

yeah, my head was stock, street tires etc... I was running about 11.5 afrs as well.

he sounds like he has a good setup going there!

-Bryan

[Metal MP5]

what i like about this is i get to watch what he does and learn everything before doing it hehehe so i pretty much have a good idea of what to do and how much its going to cost me =)

I think Focus is lonely up there....someones gotta join him.

[brianmcd]

congrats, i was wondering who the first one to the 12s would be.

~brian

[BOOSTR]

Outstanding run FOCUS! Will we ever see a stock turbo MSP turn 12's? Time will tell.

[chkmgnt58]

hopefully next summer i'll be there on a stock turbo.

anyone know if dinospeed has made a run since going to 24psi?? i heard he's around 380whp????

[Metal MP5]

Here's another to add to the list. he's our friend here with a Turbo P5. he's a registered member but never posted

13.31 @ 106mph - P5FREEK - internals, 16g turbo, 2.5'' exhaust, 15psi, slicks , 50hp shot N.O.S

[BlkZoomZoom]

I'm coming for ya Focus.

Can a MSP with a stock turbo, stock intercooler, stock pipes, and stock intake hit 12's? We'll find out friday.

Coming soon......traction.

[mp5jeff]

lmao, if you can't pull sub 1.9s with those tires, you suxor!

[BlkZoomZoom]

The good thing is I don't have to worry about bracket racing. So I can take my time and get the launch right.

[Focus]

I'm coming for ya Focus.
Patiently Waiting for company!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BlkZoomZoom]

lol.

Rock on!

[Focus]

Have someone take video, I wish we had a video camera to tape it. Much more fun than pictures.

[BlkZoomZoom]

I doubt anybody will be there with a digital camera....However I will probably get video taped by VHS again. If I knew someone that could convert VHS to a digital image I would have plenty of videos.

[EvilMSP]

Buy a new video camera with the money you save from having a "stock" car.

[BlkZoomZoom]

lol.


u suck.

lol

[MSP #167]

can someone please update my time for me. I ran a new best today 14.4@97 2.4 60ft.

I should be ablet to do better with a better launch.

Mods are, apex catless dp, hiboost fmic, injen, fcd, mbc at 8.5PSI

not bad dood, i saw you out there last night. traction was a bitch with the cold concrete. I pulled a 13.9@98mph with a 2.0 60' full interior. it felt like my slowest run car bogged out bad @ the end. All my other traps were 100mph. I need bigger injectors. Wish more mazdas showed ):

get some tire though dood, you get that 60' down and you can see 13s, do you let off the gas in between shifts?

[ProtegeSpeedLX]

hopefully, focus will get there in about a week or two. He bent a rod last saturday (EBC was fucked so he used an MBC set at 12psi but it spiked at 17 and poooof ...)

the car is at the shop right now, getting CP pistons and Oliver rods ... nitrous, 4 extra injectors, port polish exhaust/intake/head. Hopefully he'll hit the 12s before the end of the season =)


Wow the car went poof! a bent rod, from a 17 psi spike

is the engine too weak to handle Boosting that high?

How common is the turbo surging to 17psi, if you leave the boost controler set to 12?

IS there any videos, or something to back theses number up???????????????????????????????????????????????? ???

[Metal MP5]

some of them have scanned timeslips ... i dont think anybody have videos, except maybe one or two. I didnt bother scanning mine because 14.3 isnt that impressive ... id like to hit at least 14 flat this year or maybe hit the 13s (which might be done on sunday) at which point, i will take pictures of timeslips or maybe even take a video if i can find a camera.

to answer your other question ... some people have blew up their engine with as low as 9psi i think. so i guess it depends if you're lucky or not. At one point, i had a vacuum problem that made my boost spike really high and pulse all the time. it would spike at about 15psi then go up and down between 8 and 10psi. I had an FCD that weekend (that's when i did a 14.3) and nothing happened. Focus' electronic boost controller fried, so he used a small manual controller which are known to spike often. His would peak at maybe 12 or 13psi and then drop around 9psi, but on his last run, it spiked at 17 and the rod bent.

you shouldnt go over 10psi on a stock engine just to stay safe (unless you take proper precautions). and if you can deal with fuel cut, don't use an FCD because its probably the only thing that can save your engine cuz shit happens.

Fuel cutting device?

[vindication]

fuel cut defense, i beleive. Same person that makes the JoeP mbc.

[Metal MP5]

yea ... fuel cut defenser

our ECUs are set to cut ignition when a certain amount of air is coming in. once it goes over that limit, it cuts ignition. the FCD intercepts that voltage signal and modifies it so the ECU doesn't know more air is coming in. The higher the voltage the more air is coming in, the more fuel the ECU sends into the engine ... when you block that voltage, the ECU will keep sending the same amount of fuel even if you're boosting 20psi ... and that's when the engine goes boom. unless you have a piggyback or something else to control fuel

that's what i understood

[03BlkMicaSPD]

got a 14.4 @97 now Injen cai custom 3in exhaust downpipe back, and EBC set at 9psi.

blkzoomzoom- how did it go at track???????(drive)

[BlkZoomZoom]

Well first off my computer is down at home.

Second off, I didn't get into the twelves. I would have but the #4 connecting rod decided it didn't like itself anymore and commited suicide. That would have been fine and dandy but it decided it didn't like the block, starter, or turbo and decided to take them out on its way out.

However I did manage to get 11 runs in before it decided it didn't like itself. Maybe that had something to do with it.

Best et. was 13.15 @ 105.4mph

Best 60' was 2.067

Both were done at 13psi.

Guess you weren't lucky as I was, my rod bent but I made it back to the shop. Now I have it as a trophy.

13 psi. is too deadly on stock internals. But If you are anything like I am, you must be smiling that you beat your time, even though you blew your motor.

[vindication]

well, so much for being stock. sorry to hear about it dude.

[Focus]

Oh well... Closing day at the track, but it was way too cold....I can only pull off a 13.078 @ 115.104 MPH

Better Luck next year!!!

[Metal MP5]

welllll best run for me today was 14.2 @ 101.5 (FMIC, SRI, 3" exhaust, FCD, 10psi) ... only 1 tenth faster than my previous best time but 3.5mph faster ... but the best part is ... i was on street tires hehe. last time i used Focus' slicks. I trapped 102.something once but did a 14.4 that run. had to stop racing cuz my clutch decided it was enough when i raised the boost to 12psi

so yep, i think that's it for this year. i'll be back next year with internals, gt28rs and nitrous hehe (hopefully)

[PHILLY-ORANGE]

Using the MPI for Management in conjunction with a J&S Safeguard for my mistakes, and an Innovate LM-1 for datalogging and tuning. But at least I did a nice run:

13.767 @ 101.027 at 9.5 lbs. boost

I twisted my rod on the next run, looking for 12lbs.
Attached is a picture of my new trophy!!!!!! (hand)

wOw 12PSI here.

[BlkZoomZoom]

I think the slicks loaded the engine more because it actually had to pull the car instead of just spinning. Because this was my normal set-up before the intake manifold. Of course it could have been the 11k of really hard friggin miles on it too.

The nice thing is the piston cocked in the bore, so the head is fine.

[Bowlinballs9]

question . . . . . i just installed a new intercooler and my low boost setting went up to like 9.5 i have still have fuel cut issues but that's not my concern, umm when i was doing my burnout in first and second it spiked to 17.4 and the CEL came on after that, does anyone have a clue to why that is? . . . a few times after driving the car after the CEL came on, it went off tho so, and it runs fine under normal driving conditions so

[Metal MP5]

some CEL go away after you turned off and started the car ~3 times

but you're lucky if nothing bad really happened after spiking to 17.4 .... focus bent a rod when his car spiked at 17

We already did a video of the cuda this morning. Then it started raining so maybe sometime later this week I'll do a burnout video since you don't see them often from a protege.

For the non- believers....

Nice! Now would you please join me in the 12 second club.

[BlkZoomZoom]

lol....I want you to get alittle farther ahead so it will be more dramatic....

[Focus]

lol....I want you to get alittle farther ahead so it will be more dramatic....

I'm hoping with a good launch , I can do 12.2 or a 12.3 We will see in April or May.

[BlkZoomZoom]

With the mph you are getting I would be dissapointed to see higher than a 12.1 with a perfect launch.


Here's most of the timeslips for the MSP...anyone that says a stock motor can't handle some abuse can kiss it. lol

[brianmcd]

^lol that's a cool picture.

[Focus]

BlkZoomZoom made me do it!

[Metal MP5]

i cleaned up my room and got rid of most of them except my 14.2 run and a few others that actually meant something lol especially the last one of the season (21.5 @ 45mph)

[mspeed101]

Well I just got back from the track and was only able to run a 14.3 @ 99.97mph. This is with a crappy launch and fuel cut. Mods are in my sig

[MazdaSpeedSter]

You needed my tires too! It's all my fault! lol! (dark)

~ Hey put my stock time up in there. ( in sig )
Will post new time, with the mods, next time at the track.(hump)

And how do you run 16.7 in a MSP (Smokedya)?!?!? Thats what I ran stock PR5!

[Bowlinballs9]

14.03 @ 101.7 - Injen CAI, 3" turbo-back, SMIC, 10.5psi

[Brian MP5T]

The plan for the new year is 13 flat!

I think you mean 12s - Get up in to the 12 second club.

[Brian MP5T]

No, 13.00 Second FLAT or I suppose 12.99

[BlkZoomZoom]

Updated, yo.

I made a 16.93 @ 86mph - 2.25" Catback & SRI with ATX
hopefully i'll smash into the mid-low 15s by early summer of this year :)

Ok Buddy, This should make everyone run out and get a Turbo. (cool)

BLACK LINES = Your BEST NA Run
RED LINES = MP5T only pushing 10 PSI

[Lil Freek]

hahahaha. that's pretty sad, actually.
although the weight of my car is off, so the HP numbers should be higher, but the times are correct..

i got the tires nice 'n hot for that run and roads were still warm when I ran that :)

sooooon i'll be well into the 15s.. or 10s.

[Brian MP5T]

Dude, I think the tranny will be your 1/4 Mile problem... As stated, we will come up with something to get around it. The Lentech solution might help alot.

[Lil Freek]

yeah.. if i go with all the lentech pieces.. i'm going to be the only ATx to offer some real competition for you fancy shmancy MTx people :P

Until it's built up, I probably won't slam it (so i say now)

[Brian MP5T]

You will slam it and cause a problem, Ie. Fix The Problem. People never seem to mod the problem before the problem. Just cause a problem to fix. Simple Yes?

http://www.msprotege.com/members/Brian%20MP5T/BOOM%202004.jpg

[Lil Freek]

hahaha.. yeah. lack of wheels will be the motivation to fix the ride :)

I'd love to be preventative, but it's us$1200+labor more to build up the tranny... unless i get travel time or a good male-whore job, i'm outta luck for that until the end of the summer.

[SCRprotege]

I need to know where I can find the manifold and t25 turbo out of a 03 mazdaspeed protege. Or is there a manifold to hook up a Garret GT15 to a Mazda Protege 01. I know for a fact that the 03 MSprotege turbo and manifold wil hook up to my car just fine it's just hard for me to find things for that car because its not as common as a honda so people don't really make as much for protege's. Or do they?

I had a full tank and a stereo...

They are supposed to be very good as long as the data (Weight) is very precise. Not like, oh lets say... Guessing a number out of your head...

[Lil Freek]

very.. don't take my 16.9 away from me!!!!
:P

My poor ATx will only see the track once or twice this year... the tranny's gonna be pretty fragile, even with the valve body, so i'm gonna take a reserved run at the track - hopefully put up something like a 15.0s 400m :)

well if you are thinking I'm guessing, like a queer, it's more like I used a track scale.

[Lil Freek]

i think Brian was referring to guessing a 1/4mile time outta your head.

[Brian MP5T]

Like, Guessing the weight... Like I think it feels like about 2000 Lbs, when the car actually is 2800 Lbs. All the data is caluclate based on the weight of the car... The people who kill the rep of the G-Tech are those who fail to weigh their car just prior to the test...

[Brian MP5T]

well if you are thinking I'm guessing, like a queer, it's more like I used a track scale.

No Batty Boy, you Dont understand. I was being Postitive, not dissing your numbers...I was refering to people who just guess the number and plug it into the G-Tech

[orng1]

now that I've read all 15 pages worth of posts, what kind of wheels are you guys running with slicks and what tire size

[BlkZoomZoom]

sometimes stock. sometimes 205/50/15 bfg drag radials, sometimes 225/50/15 drag radials, sometimes 26/9/15 slicks.

[orng1]

yeah I've been curious as to what type of 15" wheel will fit these cars. thats wha i'm looking for a 15" wheel with something like 24.5 or 25"x 8" slick. thanks read about your motor sux better luck with the next one.

[BlkZoomZoom]

That thing went through more torture than I thought possible. This one has upped the ante quite abit. I think we're gonna see a few low 12 second and maybe high 11 passes this year.

[BlkZoomZoom]

if your gonna run some huge meat (26/9/15's) old Chrysler cop cars wheels work very well.

[Focus]

24.5 " Mickey Thompson is what I use. I got a cheap Black wheeL like this but black:

[Metal MP5]

Can you add my 14.2 @ 101.5mph ?

the list still has my old time ( 14.3 @ 98mph i think?)

[BlkZoomZoom]

I guess.....

[Slider]

So, it looks (by the list) that the stock MSP is about a mid 15sec. car? Not bad at all, just about the same as my car (stock).

With an average driver, yes. With a good driver, high 14's/low 15's.

thanks =)

i posted the slip once, i guess i could look for it if you want proof

EDIT: i didn't have the slicks for that run but anyway ... time should change as soon as we can go back to the track. I CANT WAIT !!!!!!!!!!! stupid winter. i gota start rallying ... would give me something to do during the winter

[SOSPEED]

How are you guys running over 10 psi.. Every time i hit 10 psi it hits so type of cut off. Fuel maybe?? Lets say i turn my boost up to 10 psi or higher and take the car out and hammer it as soon as it hits 10 psi the car feels like it hit a brick wall. Anything below 10psi the car runs like a champ..

[Metal MP5]

we call it fuel cut .... as soon as your ECU sees a certain amount of air coming it, it cuts ignition to protect your engine.

If you wana get rid of it you have to get an FCD (fuel cut defenser) ... PM Turfburn

It actually cuts fuel supply, not ignition.

[Metal MP5]

I kinda assumed it was ignition but explain to me how cutting fuel is not dangerous for the engine ? You'd be basically sending just a bunch of air with no fuel in your engine ? or maybe i don't get it =\

i assumed it was ignition because i thought cutting fuel would make it run lean and could end up blowing up your engine. oh well, i shoulda listened to my mom when she said never assume anything lol

btw the came out of the closet thing is one of those april fools prank thingy on the forum. they changed all the labels

[BlkZoomZoom]

aaahh. I missed that, lol. All night partying last night, just got home. my bad.

It won't go lean if there is nothing to burn. No gas into the combustion chamber makes the engine into a really complicated air pump.

[Metal MP5]

hmmm ok i guess i got scared by the possibility that there might be a little bit of fuel that could make it depending on when exacly in the cycle the fuel cut occured

good stuff to know. thanks

[BlkZoomZoom]

Even if there is a really small amount of fuel left in the combustion chamber more than likely it won't be enough to ignite. If there is enough fuel to ignite it def. won't be enough to be strong enough to produce power or damage anything.

[Equinox]

yeah, would you rather have a bunch of un burned fuel in your combustion chamber, or just a bunch of air? That's why it cuts fuel.

In fact. If you floor the car with it off, and then try to start the car, it will never start. It's a built in trick mazda did. Flooring the car when starting it cuts the fuel pump off. This way you can use the starter to turn the car over, pump oil, and so on, without actually starting the car. I used this to pump oil on my turbo when I first installed it, without starting the car.

[PGFracing]

I have no doubt the car could run 105, nearly stock, with stock tires. With a piggy back ignition, easily done. I was wondering what rpm is the turbo supposed to kick in on a 2003.5 Mazda Speed? and at what rpm is it supposed to hit full boost? I'm not much of a turbo head. This my first experience with turbo.

[HighSpeed]

I just bought a used MSP w/20000 miles. How can I run 13.xxx . What are the best mods to do

[Fast lane]

Mpi tuner(piggy back fuel/timing controller), turbo back exhasut, fmic, intake,motor mounts,boost controller,colder plugs And most of all practice, also to do this somewhat safer if you will be raceing alot , get some forged internals if you plan on running boost higher than 10psi. although there is blkzoomzm who did 13.15 with barley any mods, so you may want to talk with him


I just bought a used MSP w/20000 miles. How can I run 13.xxx . What are the best mods to do

[daedalus]

hes still had an MPI though... and slicks. Traction is going to make a huge difference with our cars. Any street tire just wont be able to provide enough to get ya down the 1320 in a nice time.

[BlkZoomZoom]

I'm gonna prove that statement wrong this year. 12's W/ stock potenzas.

[Fast lane]

Haha...i will praise you...these stock tires suck..i cant wait to get something new..but im going to try and make one pass down the strip with the stockers and low boost..
