Ghetto FMIC on Mazdaspeed
Decided to get rid of the stock IC and mount a bigger and better FMIC. Runs great except we have a egr valve problem which is sticking and getting shitty idle, but we will replacing it soon. Pictures speaks for themselves, Enjoy the pics.

Re:Ghetto FMIC on Mazdaspeed
ive seen them running down the 1/4 not impressed

Re:Ghetto FMIC on Mazdaspeed
from what ive heard of them, they are a great "sporty family car"
fast, but not to fast handles like its on rails easy riding for 4 mid sized people and it will stop on a dime. thats just what ive heard. i have heard though, they are slow as ---- in the 1/4 but you get one on the highway, go from 5th to 3rd, build boost, and its gone... i would just like to hear from someone who has one... and another mod ive heard which is almost a must, a bigger DP. |
Re:Ghetto FMIC on Mazdaspeed
I'm not impressed either. My neighbor had one. I took it for a ride, the handling was unbeleivable, but the power just felt weak. I wouldn't have even known it was turbocharged had he not said anything. it felt NA to me, but damn did it handle nice.
