Sweet cars

 

I'm sad.

Just did a quick run on the perimeter highway consisting of 4 boost runs in 3rd gear @ ~56 km/h (35mph) wide open throttle and I found:

- Primary turbocharger would boost to 0.8bar (11.76psi) and creep towards 0.9bar (13.23psi)
- 4000 RPM hits it'll drop to 0.8bar (7.35psi) and then eventually drop down to 0.3bar (4.41psi) as I get closer to the redline.

My boost gauge came with the car from Japan and makes a slight clicking noise when boost goes over 0 bar. Some people like measuring in bar others in PSI so I've included both in my findings. Anyway, it's gonna be a pain trying to diagnose this. Gonna try the Efini Y-pipe and cross my fingers and hope it's a boost leak, any other suggestions?

Oh, btw, I drive a '92 RHD FD, completely bone stock. I'm sure I have just a catback exhaust with 3" piping, it's not as loud as FD3Steve's.. After market suspension, rims, fuel smell..

 

Looked it up, and to anybody who's interested I'll be attempting the following:

Primary: Solid 12 psi
Secondary: 5 psi or less

One of the vacuum hoses connected to the pressure tank, pressure tank chack valve, or hose between turbo and check valve. They will come off again unless the hose is replaced or zip-tie it at both ends.

 

got any pics of the car? i don't know the problem though, im also a noob, well learning, but still no pro

mine boosts at .46 bar for first an second turbo, there is like less than a second of lag when it goes down to like .35

where did you convert bars to psi?

 

From AverageJoe's link one page back. You'll see this car on the street a few times since I'm kinda using it as DD with my scooter.

I was using 14.7 when the real number should've been 14.5. Multiply your bar by 14.5 and that'll get you your PSI conversion, so I'm off by a couple decimal points.

Or a calculator..

oh thats your car, i saw pics of it on winnipeg mazda club forum. did you buy it from tyee? it looks identical to the one they had. I've only been to one mazda meet this year, but hope to attend another one soon. I just don't get weekends off so its a little hard for me

 

O man, Marvin, I can't believe how good your car looks when photographed. There is no way you can tell that the front end is kind of fubar looking. Lol.

street racer 71: what mazda meet did you go too? I don't recall there ever being a meet before the one I went too. Unless the MMC set one up before. Btw, were you able to register on Heights?

 

No i haven't gotten an email back from them yet.

I went to a MMC meet at the zoo in late april/early mayish, not with my car though. I went with my girlfriend in her alero...an made her park far far away lol

 

Mine came from Marv's at Coyote Cars

lol. I haven't gotten around to getting my headlight cover painted, but it'll be done soon. Maybe next summer I'll get my exterior up to par.

 

I hear ya Maarvin. I plan on getting my car painted this winter. I'll finally have a car that looks nice. I've owned 3 cars (2 FBs) and none of them have had paint nice enough to be proud of. Lol.

 

once i take over domino's here, i'm getting a new paint job....should be around next feb/march

 

Are you inheriting a family business or something? Ballin'

 

nope, just next inline for franchisee, or thats what's been planned for me. The current franchisee is moving to Calgary early next year an taking over like 8 or so stores, an then I get the one here

 

so can you hook us up

 

Yeah, man. You gotta hook us up with pizza if you want to hang out with us. Those are the rules. Love 'em or hate 'em.

Lmao. J/k.

 

i could... but you'd have to come to winkler then, or i can get you half price in the city lol

 

Hello everybody there was a couple rx at the tavern united last night two 7s and one 8 black with mmc on the side window older fellow

 

Anybody know who is seling the silver 85 rx7 on kijij for twentyfive hundred looks in nice shape

 

i wouldn't mind a 2nd gen for a daily driver...in summer

 

I wouldn't mind a 2nd gen for a daily driver... in winter. Lmao.

 

well, just thought I would let you guys know, I ordered a triple 52mm A pillar gauge pod and they sent me and charged me for 2 (stupid international order stuff), so anyways I will try to sell it here and if not I will send it back, Its only for the fd, and left hand drive, for $170

 

nm about my last post, I chose to send it back, because I knew nobody would want to buy it for that, just thought I would try. Anyways, I setup an appointment with walls rod and custom but they pushed me back 2 weeks, and I was wondering if anybody here knew of a good place to take it in winnipeg, just to install a air fuel gauge and a couple other gauges it would also be good to have a dyno but if the shop you guys know of doesnt no big deal

 

WHERE: Assiniboine Park, Zoo parking lot (IN THE PARK!!).

All Mazdas are welcomed. We'll meet at the park and hangout for at least an hour. We will then cruise down to Speedworld and do some go-karting. If you miss us at the park you can always check Speedworld for a group of Mazdas parked outside.

Speedworld race cost:
1 race = $12. 4 races = $38.
Speedworld: Google Maps

All changes will be posted in this thread on Heights: Mazda Meet
The odds of any changes occurring are slim and all relevant info will be copied to this thread.

 

Hey joe okay i can make this meet if any changes post on this site cant get on heights site thanks

 

You can't look at heights as a guest? Thats weird.
So far everyone on heights is saying they can come so everything seems to be a go. That thread has also been cross posted to the Manitoba Mazda Club website.
MMC Thread

Even if your Mazda can't make it you can always bring something else. You just can't park with the Mazdas.
