Re: my mazdaspeed
My friend has a mazda mp5 and he blew up like 3-4 motors, and 3-4 trannies. Now he swapped in the mazdaspeed turbo swap, and his car is still like shit, and always has problems. Their motors are pretty weak, and cant hold up for much of a beating, on a average basis. On a lighter note, when my gsr wasnt boosted, I took a mazdaspeed from a 80 roll by 1-2 cars.

Re: my mazdaspeed
You mazda guys must NOT know what your doing if you cant make power out of the FS safely
yeha the injectors are faily small, so if you know this, why not fix that? the rods are not all that weak.
if your going to try and make power with a pretty much stock fuel setup then you cant blame the car
Their are plenty of people making good power with the FS

Re: my mazdaspeed
i had one. It was a POS. While driving it to school one day the downpipe snapped on the welds, this is even before i modded at all. Id get a stand alone becasue that stock ecu is a piece of shit. I can remeber how many times i had to go to the dealer and get it reflashed with the updates. Witha intake and exhaust off at 9 pounds it put down 198hp and 223lbs torque. But I have heard of peopel running 8 pounds and the block break in half.

breaking the block?? dude those blocks are strong as fuck, the pistons are almost bullet proof. The rods are on the weaker side but nothing like you people are talking about. The weakest part of that motor would be the wrist pins, but u still dont have to worry about any of this until bigger numbers.
Seems like alot of morons are getting a turboed car and want to crank the boost up drive the shit out of it and then blame the car when it blows up lol.
I have been working on these motors since alot of u could drive haha

the peolpe at mental addiction motorsports woulnt even consider running theirs over 12 psi of stock internals. I have mine at 9 with spikes at arond 12psi. Im thinking about building it it to be able to take it to around 20-22 pounds. Ive just seen it and heard it from the professionals.

I ran 16psi on mine for a long ass time with a standalone at 12.5-13 crispy a/f's and it never blew up...thats the key on those cars.
