Dose anyone know about the new vac box insted of the rat trap, I think this engine is out of a bathurst Type R it has the box, and all sort of differant stuff.

If anyone can help? the harness would not fit the old computer used upgrade ecu and used a 97 harness. I'm having fuel problems around 6K 3rd gear running out of fuel. Walbro fuel pump ,new fuel filter.

Thanks matt

the incredibly awesome vaccum box only works with 99 or newer harnesses and ECUs i believe

 

I am using a N3A7 upgrade and and had to pin out the blue clip on the 97 harness.

 

here is a picture of the vacum box, it probably wasn't a good idea changing the plugs why dont you use a 97 ECU.

 

The series-8 (99-02) was the only version to get that box I think. Would take quite a lot to get your USA spec series-6 (92-95) converted over. very little gain for effort required I think.

Although the series-6 (92-95), the series-7 (96-98) & series-8 (99-02) look very similar on the outside, mazda made quite a lot of wiring changes for each version.

Getting a series-6 updated to series-8 specs is a major piece of work that requires plenty of patience & plenty of money for the labour involved.

Its up and running all ok, just running out of fuel or maybe spark. I used a series 7 harness and a series 8 coil harness because of the relocated lead coil.

Has anyone heard of anyone doing this update?

Thanks matt
