Need Pics of BC Condenser installed on MS3

[theurgy]

Hey guys.. I just commited to picking up a Buddy Club Racing Spec Condenser.
I'm just curious about what it looks like all installed in an MS3.
Not I usually don't go asking around for this kind of thing.. but I've search every forums I can and all I've found were installs in regular MZ3's.
Maybe mit-gee-mui can pop in like a ninja with a thread link...LOL

What is that condenser thing? I see it listen in some people's signatures and I don't have a clue what it is or what it does. Could someone please enlighten me?

Just in case you got MGM'd...

i have this on my civic. To be honest with you i do'nt feel any hp gains, but i definitely felt the better throttle response.

It's a waste of money! $240 what a jip!! ...A good grounding job would do the same if not better....save your money Al for a trip to your GF's.

Like Kev, I have one in mine...hp gains??? Never dyno'd the car before/after. Better throttle response...yeah..

More info here...http://www.mazda3forums.com/index.php?topic=44300.0

Its basically a grounding kit and a voltage regulator because of the capacitor.

SSG's price is $180 not 240.

It looks nice in the engine bay though!

Would this be the same unit for the speed? Same grounding points?

[yearoftherat]

Should be the same...throttle body, fuel rail, and strut tower.

I just bought one second hand here in town for much less...
So if anything as a simple grounding system, it's blue (matches my car) and says RACING on it...HEHEHE
Just kidding, i'm expecting a better throttle response and a few mild differences, nothing major and for the price I got it for I couldn't say no.
Anyhow, anyone got pics of an engine bay of an MS3 with this installed?

[Nextmod]

4 instock if anyone is interested

[theurgy]

LOL I recommend.. but PLEASE soeone post the pics of one of these installed.
Honestly I don't know the best points to attach the leads on the MS3.
I've heard the Throttle Body, The Fuel Line and the Opposite Strut Bolt..
I have no clue where teh Throttle Body on the MS3 is (sorry for the ignorance) and where the best place on the fuel line to attach and if there is a spot I can do this from without removing the Intercooler.

[Kevin@nextmod]

Strut bolt? I would suggest tranny instead.

[theurgy]

Ohhh tranny..why the tranny?... where though.. again. I need to know the best bolts and spots to attach this to.. ?

[Kevin@nextmod]

I chose the tranny because i was told to do it. lol... but i did feel my shift was a little smoother and my rpm dropped faster then before. You're going to have to ask the guys to show you where the tranny bolt is.

[yearoftherat]

Did you originally have it on a strut tower before you mounted it to the transmission? Did your RPM drop after the switch?

i didn't mount mine on the strut tower. I did it on the tranny the first time.
I did tranny, throttle body, and valve cover.
