^^^ so random! lol

Hey Dave, to save us some time could you take a look at my secondary injectors and tell me if the key tab is in the middle or offset when u get a chance? if they're offset then i'll have to pick up some resistors cuz that means they're high imped

The S4 injectors are low impedence. I used the GSL-SE 680s for my secondarys. Strait up swap. With 5psi of boost, when the secondary injectors kick in, my air ratios jump into the low 9s. So, I definantly have enough fuel for way more boost

oh most definitely! you should be good to 10-11 psi with 680cc but that might be cutting it close.

2nd gen strut bar on SA

I know its for a 2nd gen but its cheap and I wanted to see what was involved with getting a 2nd gen bar to fit an SA (or FB for that matter). I had an Amazon gift card from work so its basically free
So this came in today. Looks pretty good for 22 bucks plus shipping. Its adustable and it looks like it fits fine across the SA width once its adjusted out. Just have to "adjust" some of the holes in the bracket possibly to make it fit. I'll post pics later and a write in the 1st gen section when I get to it.

still cleaning the seals so I can measure them for specs. Also taking my irons to work next week sometime and blasting them and the good housing. Then some paint for them. I am thinking black and red or cast AL color. Then some porting fun!.. New bearings thruout the engine. And a few other odds and ends before rebuild. Hopefully sometime next month or March at the latest. Work is sooo slow now money is tighter than a frogs *** in a pond.

That's the spot Tim. So how does the strut bar look? Now that I have a few miles on the the new engine, she is starting up alot better. I even hooked my cruise control back up. Fuel injection + cruise control = Good times. Andre, I appreciate you talking to the owner of the car wash. If nothing else, this will serve as a temp meeting place. I still like the idea of mixing it up a little. If we could bust up in Dave's neighborhood once, that would be awsome.

Thanks!! A moment of silence for my turbo please.....it succumbed to it's injuries last night at about 1 a.m.... I died a little inside. I'll miss him.

Hell yeah we can blow my hood out. The neighbors all mow their lawns at 7 a.m. in the summer so one weekend a month I'll rock out with my *** out!!

Speedsource is having a tough go at the 24 hours of daytona this year. They are about 42 laps down from a broken fuel cell and pump due to the alligator strips installed on the chicane.. Mazda in general is having a rough event right now. The Childress/Howard Motorsports DP car is dead last The shop is rite down the street from my place My dream job

SPEED coverage until 10 p.m. tonight and then 7a.m. until the finish at around 3-4 p.m. Awsome coverage

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha You so funny So anywho......Josh Long came down today and we worked on his car some more. We actually got alot done. Engine is almost ready to go in. We got to paint the engine bay next. Intercooler is mounted. Most of the wiring is done. All the junk is gone out of the engine bay.

We might have his FB done in time for the next meet Now that I have some more miles on the TII FB, I'm loving the FI more and more. I will still have to dial in everthing when she gets fully broke in. But so far I'm digging have the cruise back
