Hey guys Im unable to go to Maple Grove for tuning so Im trying to get steve here to Omaha I have 2 cars that need tuned and shawn is going to need his tuned. I need 5 cars all together to make it fly.He tunes about every sytem out there and any kind of car you got. The charge is 350.00. So if anyone knows of someone doing a standalone on any car let me know. I plan on having this done in May. I will keep you posted on when and where it will be.

 

Saturday the 14th sounds like a good day to get together but we do need to decide on a place. I live in fremont and would like to not have to drive very far. I am having some whisteling noise in my turbos at high rpms, i think i may need a rebuild or new turbos (or if you guys think it might be something else let me know) so i dont know when i will get it fixed, i guess it should be before the 14th of May.

 

Can you be a little more descriptive? Some whistling sound, especially if you have hard intake pipes, is natural and nothing to be alarmed about. If it's just at high RPM (under hard boost), your probably leaking boost from one of the couplers on your intake pipes. Check them all for a good seal, especially the one from the 'Y' pipe to cross over pipe (going to the IC).
If you don't have smoke, and your getting a good 10-8-10 boost pattern the turbos are probably fine.

 

I'm off this weekend Mazdaspeed. If you need some help and want to drive here to Bellevue (weather permitting), we can check it out. I'm not a guru, but might be able to help. Just let me know.

 

My car is all stock so i dont have any hard pipes. I also dont know the boost pattern because i dont have a boost gauge, YET! I check the hoses and see whats going on.

 

I should have mentioned this earlier, but since your car is still stock it probably still has the "pinch" type clamps on the intake pipe couplers. While mine were already changed out when I bought my car, I think some others here on the forum have complained that those OEM clamps don't seal as well, especially under boost. You may want to consider replacing them with decent worm-gear clamps (radiator hose clamps). Get the widest ones you can find.

FWIW, I'm changing out my "Pettit Racing-Autometer" boost guage in the near future for a DEFI guage. If your on a budget I'd probably let mine go cheap. It's 52mm and works fine, just doesn't match my DEFI water temp guage. You can see it on my car and make me an offer.

 

Ya i have the pinch clamps, i wondered myself how Mazda thought that those clamps would seal anything off real good. they dont seem tight enough. Can i get radiator hose clamps at like AutoZone? I might be interested in the guage, i dont think i will make it to bellevue anytime so if you can get a picture of it that would be great. Thanks

 

I also need a triple pillar mount if you have one of those too

 

Hey mazdaspeed I'm probably going to be in Arlington w/ my car as long as I get my tailights back from being converted. I'd be down w/ meeting up w/ you. Be nice to get together w/ another FD. Let me know what ya think

 

Hey Jeff, I'm off this weekend. I may give you a call if the weather holds and your in town. Also interested in seeing how those lights came out.

 

Hopefully I'll have em back and I think I may finally be getting that damn headlight cover, lol

 

I saw an older guy driving a red fd in bellevue yesterday, is that any of you guys?

 

Thats The Sgt.

 

OOOOOLD!!!!!!




Ok, yeah, that's me.

 

LOL that's jacked up man

 

Hey guys just thought I'd let ya know that Sgt. Blue and I are gonna meet up 2morrow and if anyone else is interested, would be nice to see some other owners. Any and all welcome, so...who's in? By the way we still need to set a place for the May 14th meet. I'm down w/ anywhere so let's throw out some ideas

 

Yeah, hope some of you can make it so Jeff doesn't have to hang out with the elderly alone.

 

Where did you guys end up meeting at???

 

Valentinos on 108th and maple then we drove down to Harbor Freight, just us 2 since nobody ele expressed interest

 

Hey Shawn,
Sorry we missed you. It was a last minute thing. I wanted to pick something up at Harbor Freight so since I was up in Omaha anyway...
Is your car up and running with that big single yet?

 

Hey guys, i talked to my friend, the one with the GS-T and the ppl on that 2gnt.com site wanna meet up with some 7's. Sorry pearlyellow i havent been around a computer otherwise i probably would of met up with u. I was in Omaha yesterday, kicked the **** out of a tiburon that thought he was fast, then i seen this Red NSX, bad ***, anyone know who owns that? Weather looks crappy this week and weekend we will have to go driving in Omaha sometime. Not many people see FD's what a site to see like 5 of them in one spot.LOL

If anyone is still wondering about my whistle, i'm still working on it, still havent pin-pointed what it is.

 

Oh Man, i wish fremont still had their Valentino's that place kicked ***. We will have to go there sometime.

 

Sorry I couldnt make it. I had a bunch of family things to go to, but maybe next time. By the way shawn what turbo are you running and what hp are you looking for? Im still planning on steve to come up in mid may so that will be exciting so if anyone else wants to come just to check it out I will keep you posted.

 

I didnt mean it like that! Im only 21 so I ment older than me lol! if it makes you feel better I almost wet my pants when I saw your car.

I bought my exhaust today so I should be ready to roll by the end of april(still need an safc2 and a few other things) I'd love to hang out with you guys, oh and sgt blue I'm gonna have to bug you about being a cop, Im taking criminal justice classes and want to be a cop in papillion. I just have to remember about this thread!

 

I'll be running XS Engineering's [not to be confused with eBay's XS Power] T04S kit. Power-wise, since I'll be running with stock ports, I'm hoping to get around 380rwhp @ 15psi.

As much as I'd love to go up to MN for that tuning session, nothing beats driving down the street to meet up with Steve Kan, so I'd definately love to be a part of the Omaha tuning session!

power hungry, your car sounds like a beast - can't wait to get all the Omaha RX-7s together soon!
