Prototype work

[niterydr]

I should have my sample piece friday.
Should be mocking up an intake pipe shortly thereafter.

if you are ever looking for a speed6 for work let me know

He's already got base number on mine. It's at his disposal. YAY.

I'm looking for intakes, inter coolers, turbo back exhaust, etc, etc, the works.. but I would like a low cost with respectable gains that's a quality product there ya go lol... pretty simple but hard to do

Wow what a weekend.

Well I just got back from a training seminar based on MAF/MAS based tuning systems.

It was put together by a gentleman that makes the programs for most OEM manufactures (including Mazda). I learned quite a bit about Direct Injection, VANOS on the BMW's, etc.

After talking to the engineer, I am going to hold off on R&D for the intake for a bit. I have a customer coming in with the CP-E tuning stuff.

I am curious to see the tuning range of the CP-E stuff and we'll see if we want to start to mess around with the intake trac.

And the dreaded tuning bug still plagues the Mazdaspeed cars. But good to know you went for some training on how to tune our motors in the Speed 3/6.

good work and keep us all posted on the progress

Well the issue is it is a MAF based system. With that being said the injector timing on a DI style fueling vehicle is extremely critical.

Too much of a pipe increase will change the airflow characteristics, and could ruin how the vehicle performs. The safer bet is to start on the exhaust side of things, but then again, I do have a car coming in wednesday with that CP-E tuning device.

I will see how well that works and report back.

I am jealous man. I love listening/reading about that kind of stuff. Sounds like it was a good experience for ya, and definitely changed some of your original thoughts. Keep us posted on how things turn out this week.

Yes and know, more of confirmed theories.

I was dragging feet on the project because I was worried about the lack of monitoring.

 

[AJ]

BOOOOOOOO. That is all.

 

[niterydr]

BOOOOOOOO. That is all.

Its not over, just on "hold" for a few days.

 

[micahlarson]

so what ever happened to MSP prototype work?

The protege?

Our schedule is starting to finally thin out enough to start to think about serious prototype work again, what did you have in mind?

 

[dmention7]

How feasible would a reasonably priced exhaust system be? Right now, everything out there seems grossly expensive, but I'm sure that's just due to low demand.

Or maybe a set of hardpipes?

 

[micahlarson]

well you were going to call me to get my car in..... to do that work.. and I was wondering what was up with that
