**** i think the new bellhousing wasnt quite made spot on, im guessing for now but it may have either crunched the clutch pressure plate fingers with the throwout bearing slide being too long, or the alignment of the input shaft may be out crunching the spigot bearing in the back of the cranckshaft urghhh

 

Well well, bugga me , who knew that getting engaged with the missus would slow down the action with my car, she put a lock down on me so we can get married and buy a house this year .

But after missing half the season i cracked the ***** and said im going racing
Got the car quickly on the dyno and finally did that retune with the new inlet manifold , scabbed a extra 44 hp with same boost same everything except inlet manifold and smaller intercooler pipes .

It may be more but the snow tyres (best i could find in no time ) we had on the back kept going mushy after every second pull , and the other drama we had was it was shutting down the hard drive on the dyno, the dyno dyamics didn't like my banana revving and vibrating next to it

So **** comes to shove im racing me much hated and loved maz at the track next friday and sat .
Ill keep you posted

Got some dodgey camera vids,its also the first time i used it as i now know to turn it sideways to film it correctly

never got to do a good full redline power pull, it was either cutting the dyno out, or the tyres were slipping too much

44hp increase, thats insane with such a "minor" mod.. good job!

 

sick car!

 

one minor adjustment was on the retune we also went up one point in the A/F ratio , so there was power to be had taking fuel out , it sat in the low 9.2 before ahaha

 

That sounded like a nice linear power band. Not too peaky.

 

still a very nice improvement with the manifold!
proves that mazda did do their homework right

 

the power band is long an strong, it goes hard for hours , i initially thought the ida manifold setup was chocking the power before ( not tested because im way to lazy to test **** ) , but after running the mazda manifold it followed the same power band , im now guessing its just that the turbo is being held back buy the low boost level
Ill buy a boost controller for it oneday ,
Im racing in two days, so if my mph is better then i know it really is a better HP increase

 

So its a def for fri/sat mr beef?
Might have to come down this weekend with camera in one hand, and a cold beer in the other.
And i still say the bunnings spec boost controller is the way to go!!!!

 

yep i pick up my front spoiler on the way to the track from claytons panel shop , so il even have a freshly painted front spoiler to go as well , no more zip ties

 

what time you racing mr mr? keen to come down and check it out and get some videos for ya.
promise no girlie noises at the end either!!

 

gay i got a pb 0.01 better , anyway got one more shot at 9s before season shuts down, ill let yous know



go to 1.4min to skip most crap

Damn! Sweet Vid!

 

Beef -
Do you have a current weight on the car?
Also what brand rims, sizes are the drag racing rims?

 

weld magnums 15x8.25 5 inch backspace and 15x4 fronts i think it1.75 backspace

the weight of the car at the last race was 2170 pounds , it will be lighter next season

 

how you going to do that with a 20B

 

i wish haha , people spread rumours

 

Just tell tones you want to borrow it :P

Also care to elude the new turbo choice ? !! cant ******* wait !!

 

gtx45 uler with tial stainless vband rear housing, 1.30 A/R , i know that i could save 1000 bucks and buy a borgwarner, but its got to look good still
Dunno how much jezza is selling them for, im only going of the quote from my mate who works at MTQ , would be good to see jezzas quote for one, also im upgrading the gate to a pro50 turbosmak and fitting a blow job valve again, as after i removed it last year i could not avoid bog into second gear, i think it was related to removing the blow job valve , also got 3.5 inch ali intake pipework with hdi seamless clamps (wiggins style) , no intercooler , 90mm throttle body , magnetic crank trigger , custom 5l oil and water ali catch can
Also got 8 2000cc ID style injectors for methanol , liberty clutchless 5 speed box getting fitted up, smaller ali radiator from a civic fuckn hondas , inboard brake master cylinder , mech enderle fuel pump ,

I think that has covered some of it for now it will change

 

sick fc, i love it!!

 

got a new toy for this unit now mmm gtx45 with tial 1.30 SS rear housing
Also bought a 100mm hypertune billet throttlebody for it as well,

 

do you have a dyno chart of your pull with the FD intake plennum's? Great build btw, way to represent a clean FC! We tend to have more electric tape and zip ties then our FD counterparts, but yours looks very professional.

 

no worries ill grab a dyno sheet when i pop back in to the workshop, we are currently modding the manifold again to take 4 more injectors in the upper plenum, 8x bosch cng injectors and meth should give us some more power

 

got the turbo mounted and also fitted the extra injectors and billet throttlebody ,its slowly getting there, just got to get my wedding passed and then its back into the race car .

 

Awesome stuff dude!
