GTP Mike's MS3 big turbo thread

[MuffHugger]

I have owned my 2008 Mazdaspeed 3 since September 2014. It currently has basic modifications, but I am looking for more. Finally collected all the necessary parts for a big turbo build which will be taking place after finals this week.

The build:

- BNR Stage 4 turbo
- Relentless Customs intake manifold w/ VTCS delete
- XS Power v3 exhaust manifold
- HTP 3.5" intake
- Grimmspeed 3 port electronic boost control solenoid
- Corksport Battery box
- Damond Motorsports dual catch cans
- Damond Motorsports PCV plate
- Damond Motorsports EGR delete
- Snow Performance Stage 2 boost cooler Methanol injection
- Remote reservoir/spout for meth

Car is going to be e-tuned via FREEKTUNE

George Cooney felt obligated to be in the picture...

Here is the turd, and here is to not repeating the same mistakes I made in the GTP

....and this is what is at the bottom of my battery tray.

Hell yeah man! How many PAHZ do you expect to extract from this thing after the spinny thing is doing work for ya?

I'd be happy touching 400 WHP. Forgot to mention I have a new 6 puck clutch and a Quaife LSD in there.

Damn gurl, RACE CAR.

enticed for BP Nurburgring test laps

Damn. Should definitely rip after that upgrade. Good choice on the DM catch cans too. I almost pulled the trigger on one for my ST before Boomba announced theirs and since their initial run pricing was close to damonds, I took a chance w/ boomba's, cuz it was sexier.

Damn, I got mine months after you, and have done nothing near what you have planned, lol. Good to see another ms3 on here, I love my FREEK ots+ tune. I need to put in a test pipe and get a full tune, but that may have to wait until after the VVT/timing chain.
Any plans for built engine or an e85 tune?
Also, what engine mounts are you using?

Already got a big ass box from edgeautosport with these goodies in it. I have a low mileage short block sourced as well as a cylinder head. Once I get everything, I'm going to take it to the machine shop, then assemble it myself.

The mounts I am running are the CP-e trilogy. I discovered a tear in the passenger one (less than 10k miles) so I may swap them out for the Damond ones. Are you on MSF? My username there is muffhugger.

 

[MS3Josh]

I figured you were going built engine since you're using the s4. I am on msf, but haven't been going on there too often recently. I still go on every once in a while, seems you and Djohns are in a race to see who can get their build dome first. Lol
Everyone seems to recommend the Damond mounts, I'm planning in swapping mine one by one to the Damond mounts as I can. Not very happy with my 150k mile TMM and POS Sure PMM.

 

[MuffHugger]

Yeah, I'm actually buying Djohns short block as long as he doesn't zzb it before then lol.

 

[Mook]

Ive always loved these cars. Great looking, drive super smooth. Looking forward to you tearing into it.

 

[RICH17]

400whp? damn son

 

[syP]

another MS3 owner checking in.

All of this MS3 talk, but no SHO talk.

 

[syP]

i should buy back my old one...

 

[MuffHugger]

Should be getting my base map from FREEKTUNE here soon

 

[greasy]

That is awesome, love this build. Looking forward to the results

 

[Smokinhot]

Justin does great work in the MS3 community. It's who did my first 100 octane tune on the ST for the 1/2 mile. Just pissed he took vacation that week, so I had a weak tune (only 2nd revision, the next two were HUGE improvements)

 

[MuffHugger]

UPDATE

Started working on Friday as planned. Everything is going smooth, taking my time and all that fun stuff. Did have someone from MSF.org come out and help (Thank you Abe) and thank you [MENTION=22]syP[/MENTION]; for lending a hand as always. Had a celebrity appearance after posing in a local group chat show up today. Matt Davey, (Damond Motorsports) offered to come out and lend a hand and guide me trough this swap. Lot of insight and the build is going to be that much easier because of that. Thank you Matt, Ryan, and Abe. But fuck text here's pictures


Start of Day 2

Sorry the Macro feature on my camera is shit

This is the deleted EGR pipe. This fucker has been giving me a code for a while now. :gtfo2:

Is somebody getting new seals?



OBLIGATORY COMPARISON PIC

End of Day 2, got catch cans mounted (sorry, no pics yet), old exhaust manifold off, old turbo off, and getting shit ready to reinstall.

That concludes the disassembly portion of this build. Tomorrow will be mounting the turbo, hooking all the hoses and lines back to it, and routing my catch can lines at the very least.

Whens the motor coming apart?

Whens the motor coming apart?

I got a shortblock sourced from another MSF member. When he gets his built motor installed, I will be buying the one currently in use. Got half the miles on it compared to mine. I'm thinking maybe a month or so.

 

[syP]

bolts on first.. motor later. shooting for 400whp on stock stuff.

** edit.. treed

 

[10sec]

Thats my question, cause that stock ass motor bout to say it's prayers.

 

[daturbosix]

Whens the motor coming apart?

my guess is sometime this next month.
