Sounds like a rice mobile. Turbo it instead. MS isnt worth the effort without drastic engine changes.

My final car setup idea!
Well i think i have finally come up with my final car setup idea. As i was originally going to do a mazdaspeed conversion i have decided against it due to the rarity of the parts and the strict platform i would have to stick to in order to make it a full replica. So heres my new idea
Erebuni style 44 kit
Carbon fiber hood-oem style
Carbon fiber trunk
E-spec headlights with black out housings or retro A-Specs (need advice on this one)
Drag style rims with Nitto Neogen tires
4-2-1 stainless steel header
High flow cat
Greddy SP2 catback exhaust
K-sport adjustable coilovers
Front and rear strut tower bars
RHD conversion-(dont ask lol)
370cc injectors-(i think thats right?)
190 walbro fuel pump
Megasquirt
75 wet shot nitrous
Im looking for a streetable car that wont require to much tuning, thus no turbo at the moment. Anything else anyone can think of? Interior wise im not really sure on the angle im going yet.

even with the 75 shot its still a 14.5-15s car...the setup looks like a lot of show without the go...
maybe tyler sounds harsh but he might be right...
if you're going ms build the motor and turbo it...without that ms will just be a pain in your ass

well i can see where the rice mobile is coming from. The problem i run into is getting a decent daily driver that doesnt have to be tuned every week. My last mx6 was all go and i was tweaking that thing every week, now that i dont have a garage anymore it would get bad in the winter. What other things could i do to build in the power department w/o a crap ton of tuning involved. Ive read about people turboing there cars and everyone seems like they tune it ALL the time.
Actually what if i turbo'd it at 7 psi, i can run stock internals on that couldnt i? 7 psi is probably good for what, like 30hp?
i was worried at first when I saw all your posts about different wing ideas. Now I know why I was worried. The fact that you're not even sure about the injectors means you will have a hell of a time doing the MS and RHD conversion. I have to agree with tyler, with that NA I4, sounds like you're doing the automotive equivalent of giving steroids and cool clothes to a 5 year old. Plus, on a 14 year old engine adding nitrous oxide is a time bomb without making sure your engine can handle it. Even on rebuilt engine with forged internals it's a gamble. I think there are much better ways to spend your money. In bold are the mods I wouldn't recommend.

What the hell do you mean by "tune it every week"? What did you have to do every week to it, exactly? Its fuel injected, controlled by a computer. Get it tuned correctly, once, by someone who knows what theyre doing and youre all set. By the sounds of it, you didnt know what you were doing.

if all you want is 30 hp, ditch the I4 and pick up a V6. For what limited aftermarket mods there are for the car, you'll find more for the V6. 30 hp isn't worth all the hassle of a turbo. There are many intricacies of a turbo that will reduce reliability besides simply the amount of boost.
if you put 7psi, even to the 2L, and all you got was 30hp...that'd be one shitty setup...7psi should give you a lot more than that if its set up right.
and no offense tyler but quit being such a dick... that kind of tone drives people away and we don't have a hell of a lot of members left to piss off. Helpful guidance without the 'you're a fucking idiot' attitude would be a lot more productive...although, again you are right...just try to present it in a better way

Well i know how to work on cars, injector size wise i couldnt find my file with the injector size that i was going to use with the setup listed, thats where the question mark came in. Tuning wise i was always adjusting something, exhaust tweak here, a/f ratio there since it was jumpy on that car. This car isnt really gonna be a speed demon, more of a small show car/summer fun car but until then i need it to be reliable since its still my daily driver. Ive had my fair share of fast cars but i dont really use the speed anyway, so why drop a ton of money in speed if i dont use it? But i can take some constructive criticism lol.
well if you want the show without the go...be prepared for the ricer comments...lol
Tough skin, good. Think of the shipping charge associated with getting a RHD dashboard across an ocean. If summer fun is what you're after, get a shiny paint job and make the car look clean on the outside with rims that look good with the car, make it flow. Don't add individual parts that you think are cool, add parts that will complement each other. Sounds to me like you need to plan this out a little more

Did you get your period between posts, or just decided to change your mind 30 minutes later? Atleast the OP has more than one layer of skinvandejm said:and no offense tyler but quit being such a dick...

whitenoyz says it like it is man,
MS is useless without a serious power modification,
and body kits are ricer without the 'go'
if you just want an extra 30 horse, then get the V6 and shine it up really nice!
Interior: no flashy lights or colors, and get all black leather.

The 4cly can make some great power N/A just ask shaun(blackshine007)
One thing im confused about it you say doing a Jspec convention is too much yet you plan to make it RHD? The only person i know who has the parts to do so is Hughes and the parts aint cheap then to get it all together is another story
On your list u have upgraded injectors,fuel pump but i don't understand y. I mean honestly from what you wrote you know OF the parts but do you understand them? Not trying to knock you though i hope you don't take it the wrong way. But again where all here to help just make sure u search b4 posting lol...

ummm...
well the injectors were for the nitrous, to make sure there was enough fuel. As for criticism i dont really mind, i knew it would strike a lot of people lol. Id get the v6 but everyone does the klze swap, not a lot of people mod the i4 so i figured id go that route. But honestly im looking for more of a handling car then a fast off the line car.
