Quick Question.
 
How much boost can you run on the MSPNP base spark map, without knock ?

Braineack 04-24-2008 10:41 AM

probably a lot.....this question is very mute.

Just buy a knocksenseMS for your MS and bosch sensor. Spending the extra $100+ for peace of mind, and protect your engine.

the annoyance factor is strong with this one.

01TurboMiata 04-24-2008 10:51 AM

its just a simple question i was hoping someone could answer, is it safe to run 10-15 PSI on the base spark map.

Yeah dude, you can run 15psi from a GT44XX turbo on the stock spark and ve maps. No worries. Just get some 550 injectors and some l33t sportmax rims.

I do recall reading somewhere not to go into boost with a base map, it will need some adjusting.

Its not hard to ask a question if its a good one. The problem with yours is that there are so many threads on here about different maps and tuning. If you could just use a base map then what would be the point of being able to adjust things?

You have been here for almost a year, no one spoon feeds information to anyone. How can you not know this?

01TurboMiata 04-24-2008 11:01 AM

its not that, its just is it safe to use the base spark map at 10- 15 PSI then start tuning it from there or will it need to be retarded to run that amount of PSI.

01TurboMiata 04-24-2008 11:01 AM

actually i just started posting here about a month ago, but joined awhile back.....

While we tried to be very conservative with the maps in the boost area - they're pig rich and have a lot of timing pulled - I really don't recommend driving on 10 psi of boost without having the ECU tuned specifically for your car. The map is for carefully driving it to a dyno shop, not competing in a race.

Thank you very much,

That was all i needed to know.

Nope, you needed one more bit of information. Your a dumbass.

Oh no, I used your instead of you are. Plan on ending your sentence with some form of punctuation Ben? My point still stands, the guy IS a dumbass. Look up some of his old threads and post. Prove me wrong.

Ben 04-24-2008 12:31 PM

"College boy" is a sentence fragment, not a sentence. Subsequently it bears no punctuation.

I'm not knocking the merit of your post; merely I was pointing out the irony contained therein.
