great numbers rich. and btw that was a killer party the other night! happy birthday man! oh here's a pic i snapped from just after you cut your "cake"

 

^^^ UH OH

Great numbers dude and happy bday!!

 

A video of the high boost dyno run, and a short clip of the car on the highway:

(edit: note that I did not post these videos..... I don't consider my FD 'badass,' and that's a 4th gear pull)

Looking good Rich.

thewird

 

Glad to see you get it tuned, looks like it is running great.

 

Nice results. Congrats.

Bellissimo

 

Hey Rich, i just took mine out with the new oil temp sender in the same location as yours. It was about 75 degrees outside, on the highway I was between 140F and 150F all day. I'm using mobil1 10w30.

I don't have ducting, but have large vents from my C-west bumper, your fancy R-Magic ducts may be whats keeping yours a little cooler.

And how long were you "around town" because after i was done driving on the highway i was in some stop and go and saw my oil temps spike to 200F.

My water temp was between 198F and 208F the whole day.

 

sweet! You are running out of things to do now. Maybe a v8 swap next?

 

if only enzo was near florida lol.. all the cars i keep hearing that are tuned by him are doing fantastic.

congrats on the solid performance.

 

Nice setup rich!!!!congrats man!

How much water (cc?) where you injecting when you were doing the tuning?

Andrew

 

Thats a well built engine. There was little to no smoke after that dyno pull.

 

Night time pics of your lighting setup plz? kthxbye.

 

Yummy just Yummy........

 

Rich, you really don't need the OMP, JDM or otherwise. I've been running Amsoil 2 stroke at 1/2 oz per gal for about 6 years now and the car runs like a champ. Granted you're making quite a bit more power, but I just don't see the point of running both.

 

I was running NGK/Greddy race plugs, heat range 10. HK$ Twinpower, NGK Power Cables and newer stock coils.

I'm running the usdm omp and had Idemitsu 10w30 in the pan.

I've since seen more 'normal' oil temps readings. Earlier it was cold and wet out. Recently I've seen temps as high as 200F in traffic, but once I get moving they plummet down to 140ish

Thanks Andrew. I have a 1.0mm nozzle which injects 325cc of windshield wiper fluid

Enzo commented something similarly.... he said based on the sound of the pulls and the way the power climbed he could tell it was a strong engine

Thanks for the unsolicited advice Mark, I'll keep it in mind

 

Too low, should be 160-185. Some racers actually tape over a few rows of the oil cooler to get temps back up to optimum. Too low and you won't burn off water/gas. Location of the sender plays an important role as well.

You're welcome. Car looks great - hang onto that license.

 

Why couldn't you go into the 500HP? fuel or turbo issue?

 

Here are pics of what came out of Rich's busted tranny (lol)

Tranny fluid (It really isn't as opaque as it looks, the flash makes it look that way. BRAAAAAINS.


Busted tranny


Tranny pieces


Series 8 magnetic plug?

 

As I stated at DGRR, Drivable with no issue back to home base. nice pictures btw "BRAINS"

 

We tried to help Rich out however we could on the way home.....

 

Ahaha^

 

hahaha... ^^^^^

 

Haha, between that and the Goodfella t-shirts, I think Rich had enough shenanigans for the weekend.

 

Hey Rich, just got around to getting caught up with the progress on your ride. Car looks great man, as always. Nice choice of wheels, but I like your FM-5 better

Regarding oil temperatures, have you considered that oil temps as measured @ the pedestal should be lower than if they were measured @ the pan? See attached diagram, you are probably familiar with it from the service highlights manual. IIRC, on the old Mazdaspeed motorsports site, they recommended that temps at the pan on an N/A rotary were not higher than 240ish *F... that website doesn't exist anymore from what I can tell. Racing Beat recommends that oil going into the motor doesn't go above 205*F IIRC...

I think the difference strongly depends on the oil cooler setup (size, ducting) and ambient temps... I was actually thinking of getting an 2nd oil temp gauge and measuring the temps @ the pedestal, in an effort to determine the cooling capability of my setup. I wouldn't be surprised to see a 20-50*F difference between before or after the cooler on my car, even more on yours (99 spec front, etc.). I'm currently taking temps from the pan, and /w a single oil cooler had it up to 260*F on the track once... haven't had the OE 93 bumper ducted duals out on the track yet (will be in Aug this year), but on the street @ the pan, it reads anywhere from 120 (40-50*F cold day cruising) to 220 (70*+ traffic)...

 

You mean these shirts?
