msp motor fit in a p5??????

[ShawnstaMcNasty]

anyone know if it would work??????? or should i just build a p5 motor and turbo it????

They are the exact same motor, minus the turbo...A turbo from a mazdaspeed will bolt right up to the motor in your P5

Build your motor and turbo it.

Pretty 'effing hard and a heavy toll on your wallet, 3500$

true... it is not a very easy swap for any car... most of the time turbo auto's will be faster (on the 1/4) as long as the trans can hold it because the turbo remains spooling during shifts

not to mention smoother, faster shifts every time so you dont have to worry about miss shifts. The only real thing you need to worry about with a auto is launching, but that should be pretty obvious.

so if i bought a msp turbo kit and dropped it in my car would run smooth or would it need some tweeking??

 

[MakeMeGoFast]

you would need the msp ecu also. or some time of EMS

 

[Keno1542]

msp ecu only works with manuals though, so you would need to use something else

 

[MakeMeGoFast]

oh yeah......my bad......

 

[ShawnstaMcNasty]

so mine cant be reflashed and tuned. what else could i use?

 

[Keno1542]

do a search, this has been discussed many times, but you can use ss afc, microtech, haltech, just depends on how much you wanna spend
