Definitely considering a S/C now. All these Greddy kits on the for sale forums lately are tempting though.

On to a serious question now though. If you get the Stage 2 kit can you upgrade to the Stage 2 CS kit? Is the stage 2 CS kit just the normal kit with the reflash?

 

why would you want a Greddy kit, they are in the FS section for a reason,,,

 

Yup +1 ^

 

Isn't your car unlimited Phil? Find out why!

 

Dreamcrusher? I havent been called that since my last blind date years ago---ahhh the memories!
Seriously--dont mean to throw water on your fire. I just got the impression that you were impatient to get er done.
I want everyone that has this kit to have a very solid car and so does Cam and it order for that to happen your car needs pre install prep. Real gauges (including air charge temp--but not mandatory), is one, an A/F gauge, additional cooling, water meth system is HIGHLY recommended, ignition system check, FP OK? Things like that. Then after the install the ability to trouble shoot etc. Thats why I like to do a self install--so i know where things go and what cuss words to asscociate with them.

^ Appreciate it OD. I definitely plan on doing everything right when I get mine. I've got a huge shopping list ready for when the time comes :D

 

When talking to Mazda, it's a 16X when they talk about it as a available engine and then when they talk about it in a vehicle it's refered to as a 16B. I tried to get an answer on this and it gets suddenly very quiet.

 

Wouldn't it be the 16C? Not trying to pick an arguement here

But if the difference between the 12A and 12B was a dimension change, and the 12B to 13B was just a configuration change, then changing dimension again would be another letter change along with the capacity change?

Of course, Mazda could do whatever they want, but just saying, that would match their historical trend.

 

who knows, chassis and engine designations are so complicated these days, I would say to Phil that the only reason from switching to B or C from X is that the engine has come out of its "X"perimental phase into a proven platform,,,

 

I called them and was told that mazda made some changes they have to account for with new software and some other changes.It will be a while before the 09 setup is ready

 

The only thing damaging about forced induction is how it's used. Forced induction, properly tuned, in a state of tune that is within the specs of the components of the motor, is not inherently damaging.

Forced induction, however, does magnify the consequences of stupid actions, bad driving habits, and general abuse. Racing, launching, redline gear changes, and other habits will kill a car regardless of the induction system.

Superchargers are not inherently damaging; bad drivers are.
