If this is what I think it is... the buyer was trying to run 7 lbs or some bs and these manifolds do have issues controlling low boost numbers. They are designed to run in the high boost ranges. Ie 30 40. I had talked to them already. I will ready later when I have time, thanks for the fyi

No. We initially tried a 14.5 psi spring combo, creeped to 28-29 psi. Made our way all the way to the lowest spring combo possible, and still creeped to 25 psi. The owner of BJ is an idiot and doesn't understand anything. Hopefully you don't have issues with your manifold.

I hope not I confronted them before my manifold was made and have in writing life time warranty and will correct any issues. They are a new company to the mazda world and knew this before I ordered. Will there be issues here and there, yes. They have already offered me reimbursement for minor damages received from poor packaging. I hope there are no issues and am sad to hear issues between you guys and a vendor over a very expensive manifold.

Thanks to @Putin 2.3T; my build just started to come to life.

Maybe it's because my phone is showing that picture as crap quality but that delivery dude looks pissed off and ready to fight! "I'll show you for making me move this heavy ass crate"

[skoski17]

Haha it doesn't even weigh that much I lifted the longblock out of the crate by myself with my two hands lol

[Djohns]

[skoski17]

There was no decision, it was an impulse purchase. Those are necessary once in a while... Kind of like this build thread lol I have a jbr one as well that im tinkering with possibly fabricating my own. I am just testing the differences between the stock with solid bushing, JBR, and the CS. Then all three with shift plate I'm designing for shits and gigs. I would call CS and ask, their website does not say anything about MS6

CS - Adjust the throw distance from OEM to 35% shorter. Without adjusting the height.
JBR - The JBR Double Adjustable Short Shifter not only reduces the throw of your shifter by up to 35% but, it also reduces the height of the shifter by 1.75"

i was gunna get the CS BBK i think... like i said not many options for ms6... I have the TWM stage 2 with shifter base bushings, its stock height and i think 35% shorter. tht and the bushings make it perfect any shorter i think it would be too short

Like I said, just playing around until I find what I like. 😊 sucks that there isn't anything offered for the ms6, is this normal across the board?

[MSP611]

ya ms6 doesnt get the same love as u 3 guys.. brakes, suspension, bracing and a few more things we dont have as much of on the aftermarket.

[zjnspeed3]

It's actually still on the stock turbo.. I didn't have funds for a big turbo.

My breaker bar wasn't enough. While I wait, I guess I could put down another beer.

I Dont know if your still stuck on this, but if that is the OEM nut which has never been removed they are not easy to remove, you need to completely chip away the part of the nut that is smashed into the groove with a chisel and then have someone stand on the brakes while you use a breaker bar with a pipe on the end like a 4 ft pip and once you break it free the future nuts come off much easier, idk how they do it OEM but they put that fucker on there almost permanently tight.

No longer on the nut, have bigger problems. The axle will not release for the bud and or transmission and now is in two. The axle need be replaced so wasn't to concerned with it.

We were all a poor high school student at one point. And if you are driving a Mazdaspeed3 in HS, I wouldn't complain. I drove an old ford ranger that had a busted windshield, smashed up front right panel, and a mis matched tailgate. But hey, it had a bitchen stereo system. Lol. I'm 30yrs of age now and this car was a gift that I purchased coming back from Afghanistan. I am out now and have a great career working on pressurized piping systems at apple. My point is, wait it out broheam. Keep your amazing car, save those pennies, keep your site set on those goals. I wish I did because I wouldn't be broke now lol.
