Well, Ive done some work on the car the past few weekends. Now that Im at
school I have to take a two hour trip to work in it so its going real slow. I'm at the point were Im figuring out the wiring and finishing a few small things I've been putting off. Just started fitting the front mount, and I recently bought a downpipe and test pipe from a fellow forum member. I dont have much pictures right now, but I plan to go back to work on it next weekend and want to get a whole lot done. I plan to finish up the emissions removal, relocate the battery, finsh the front mount, port the wastegate, and figure out the rest of the wiring. These are some pics from last weekend, and Ill take a bunch more next weekend. I'm hoping to be able to try and start her up next weekend :):icon_tup: http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e1...8/IMG_0008.jpg http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e1...8/IMG_0013.jpg http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e1...8/IMG_0014.jpg http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e1...8/IMG_0015.jpg Also, I need to figure out were I can get this part from the oil injectors? Cant tell from the pic but one of the lines is broken.. http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e1...8/IMG_0011.jpg |
^^ Spider Vac lines, can be purchased at Mazdatrix >> http://mazdatrix.com/c-5.htm
better to source it at a junkyard or classifieds, as brand new is pretty pricey. |

Well you seem like a real modest guy, you seemed a bit reserved about doing your rebuild, but it looks like you got things handled. Cutting that hose down the middle to make a grommet for a hole you cut, I assumed for I/c piping. Its a well known trick in the industry, although we usually used silicone vacuum lines. And that black + red on the housings fits perfectly.
Speaking of that I like your Intercooler setup, just behind the oil cooler so it can get first pick at incoming air. I think I'll get a core of similar size and mount it there. |
Yeah, that price seems a bit ridiculous for what it is. But I think I should be able to
find one in the for sale section. Ive been trying real hard to find a greddy elbow and cant seem to catch one. If anyone has one Ill take it off your hands immediatly.

Can anyone tell me what size those "spider" vac hoses are?
Because I have some 5/16" and 5/32" vacuum hose in transit and if it is those sizes I could just track down some ordinary spliters and rebuild them myself. These: http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e1...8/IMG_0011.jpg |

Well, I managed to get a good amount accomplished on the seven this weekend.
Unfortunately, the battery relocated stuff and the Greddy throttle elbow didnt get delivered, so I didnt get as far as I wanted. But, I did manage to finish up removing the emissions crap, finish mounting and cutting for the intercooler, ported the wastegate, and got the wiring in order. I am getting very pumped to get this thing up and running, I’m getting pretty damn close, and its going to be so much different than what it was before. Here are the OMP lines that I rebuild following a write-up from the forum. Someone posted the link to it earlier in this thread. Worked really well, and was very easy. I thought it came out nicely. http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e1...8/100_0375.jpg The vacuum lines from the injectors. I never found a write up or anything on this, so this is what I did. The lines and splitters are 5/32" and then the white fitting is a step up connector. Seems to me that that would be sufficient. Let me know if that setup isn't ideal. http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e1...8/100_0378.jpg How I mounted the front mount. Picked that metal up from home depot and cut it with a hack saw. Then, I had to cut the intercooler piping to fit in the bumper, so I put some JB weld on there to create a bevel. http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e1...8/100_0389.jpg http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e1...8/100_0409.jpg The wastegate port I did using just a Dremel. It took SOO long to port using a dremel. I had to keep taking breaks because the dremel would get too hot to hold. I though it came out very nice though. Ported to 25mm. Getting my friends brother to weld the flapper for me. http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e1...8/100_0398.jpg http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e1...8/100_0419.jpg http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e1...8/100_0420.jpg Started mocking up a front cover piece too. I plan to find a piece of black plastic somewhere and make it from that template. http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e1...8/100_0411.jpg I have some other stuff I will post up too a little later. Including a few questions about some vacant nipples.. |
exhaust and turbo housing should be done tomorrow, sean

Here is a little bit more on the progress from this weekend. Figured out most of
the wiring, and actually started getting ready for the battery relocate, but I dont have pics of that. This is the racing beat 2.5" Downpipe and cat pipe I picked up from a forum member. The test pipe doesnt bolt to the stock Y pipe, so Im having a friend modify it to work. http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e1...8/100_0408.jpg I cleaned up the UIM pretty well; I thought it looked pretty nice. I also went ahead and mounted it. http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e1...8/100_0424.jpg Where I am on the harness http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e1...8/100_0423.jpg Here is a quick mock up of the IC piping with the turbo and UIM slapped on, but not bolted down. http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e1...8/100_0387.jpg And, here is basically where I am with her right now. Ill be back in two weeks, and all I have to do is relocate the batt, finalize the IC piping (need the greddy elbow), and assemble the cooling equipment, add fluids and miscellaneous parts like new plugs, T-stat ect. Its so close :icon_tup: http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e1...8/100_0430.jpg http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e1...100_0431-1.jpg |
Quick Questions Here
I was unsure on where some of these nipples went, and my before pics are not
helping me to much. In this one Im assuming 2 goes with 2, but a I'd like clarification. I kept the thermowax in my emissions removal, so keep that in mind. http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e1...100_0427-2.jpg No clue on this one http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e1...100_0429-2.jpg |
1 is a water line for the thermowax, IIRC, and 4 is the line from the thermowax back into the waterpump.

Also I broke these and I"m not sure where to get a replacement. It looks like oil injector lines..
I think its these: "Oil Injector Lines for Fuel Injected Engines" about halfway down the page but I don't know what to buy exactly. MAZDATRIX Here are pictures. http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e1...8/100_0250.jpg http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e1...8/100_0248.jpg |
