09Factor,
Interesting comment about the water pump freeing up a bit of power. I THINK I've noticed it revving faster in the upper part of the power band since I've installed the Mazmart water pump. Not a significant difference, but somewhat noticeable. Could be placebo effect, but from what I've read it seems like it makes sense.

Now I gotta get a waterpump!

Hay 09Factor, that's the most I've ever seen you post. Could not agree more. Most of these young men are of the "new generation" of owners that would like instant gratification, instant bolt on power and fire breathing straight line speed. I have noticed a couple among them that show some understanding that engine and drive train mods need to be a means to an end.
Yea I don't post mini novels often but when I do......posts like this happen.
I'm dismayed that with all of the knowledge that has been posted on this forum over the last couple of years, that those that like instant gratification need to read more.
My mantra:
Knowledge is power. Pop quiz, What Game character that has appeared in 2 movies and 4 games said this line?

tajabaho1 woops, oh well, right now my brain orientation is that everything and anything that is manufactured by mazda is inherently unstable and sucks,
Of all of the cars I have worked on, driven, broken, and fixed, my best impression have been Mazda and Subaru. I'm not saying this because I have an 8.
I feel (personal opinion here) Mazda doesn't have a good cooling engineer that understands rotary heat issues. And this one facet of design has claimed How many AT's in the Southwest? Hmmm one oil cooler...
Ford makes ok comsumer trucks. Their cars feel cheap. I prefer Chevy trucks, but they have issues with the electronic engine control systems.
I'm digressing from the topic, Sorry.
No one car manufacture makes the perfect vehicle. Humans design it. I know I'm not perfect, and I think Mazda makes a better car.

seeing wat everybody is writing, i think a.) ima cool everything first before any sort of FI or Nitrous
and b.) see how i can get the governor off. would int-x take care of that btw? or is it really on the front wheels and no possible way of removing it? i looked all over and couldnt find much or anything really "clear"

In the Asian side of the globe, there are companies that modify the ECu to remove the speed limiter. Now I don't know if there is a diffrence between the US and Other markets ECU code.
It's here somewhere. And I "think" Sosonic has had this done....

probably........
anyways, the hks chip that I saw isn't designed for any boost gains, just for speed and rev limit gone gone which is what I need right now since I feel the need to go at tripple digit speed, idk why, its probably because I'm falling asleep behind the wheel so often now.....
