hey tyler. . . i can bring some. between david and myself. . . we could have that covered. can you not change your plugs through the top??? thats how i do it ALL the time.

paul

 

I too jack it up. I do not want to lean on the fenders!! Dyno shop has jack and stands we can use.

 

I also do it from the top.. I think its easier?? But could understand if you weigh more than me and think it will damage the fender..

One other thing.. This might sound stupid, but make sure your car is in good mechanical condition.. i've seen in the past with Steve Kan tuning and some show up, spending couple of hours patching and stuff..

At this point, I'm definitely out! I'm just way too far behind..

 

yeah. . . make sure your boost controller works and all as well

paul

 

i'ld love to go as well.. just gota solve this driving then check engine light and engine bog problem..

hmm cut it off them on and it works fine...

bah mazda wants up to $200 just to find the problem
i'm hoping the SAFC-2 will help. dad says that it sounds electrical.

anyway thats the only thing keeping me

 

grr.. double post... sorry

 

shut down problem solved... headers fried O2 sensor

heh... looks like my car will b ready
*evil grin

 

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp. . . just found out my drill dates. . . guess what the dates are. . . yeah. . . i wouldnt be posting about them on this thread if they didnt interfere. . . ill find out tomorrow if i can do anything about it. jeez man. . . didnt this happen last time????

paul

 

Paul, you need to quit that military thing.. J/k..

 

Well, now it looks like I will also have a SMIC on the car when I come down too! Man I can't wait!

 

good news. . . i just found out that im on federal orders. . . and i can pretty much call in and say, "hey, im not coming to drill." hahahaha, sooooooooo, ITS ON!!!!

tyler, that rocks man. you should be havin some fun then, eh? what ARE your mods anyways?

paul

 

Glad to hear it, Paul.

 

By tunin' time as far as mods that necessitate tuning:

PFC/Commander/datalogit
850 primary injectors
supra fuel pump
M2 intake
DP, MP, CB
SMIC
Block off plates
ported weastegate

I also have:
Koyo
Pettit AST
SRmotorsports FW/ ACT clutch
FEED ETB
Cusco rear STB
JIC FLT-A2's
Gotham Short Shifter
Sled Driver's pedals and foot rests
Gotham WP and Alt pullies
Those leather e-brake and shifter boots that there was a group buy on (woohoo)

I think that is about it. When my turbos go I will put on some BNRs and when the motor goes (hopefully in the distant future) I will street port it. I also want to do some more suspension stuff and some 17x10 CCWs for autox.

Glad to hear you can make it!

 

oh rock on!!! man. . . you have a pretty well equipped car!!!!

i guess since were on the subject. . . ill post my mods as well!!!! hahahaha.

mild streetported engine w/3mm seals
xs to4e kit (w/open wastegate dump tube)
custom (badass ) FMIC
PFC/commander/datalogit/PFC boost control kit (avcr solenoid)
1300cc secs/850cc pris/FEED adj. FPR/supra fuel pump
msd digital 6plus/racing beat redhot wires/b10egv's (you should get some of those as well, tyler. . . ill be bringing a socket out thatll allow the installation of them)
block-off plates
3 inch exhaust
underdriven pullies

i think thats all of the power adders. . . not sure yet. . .

hey!!! i think everyone should check into this before the dyno!!!! look at the wiring on your fuel pump. . . right past the plug that goes into the plate on top of the tank. . . i added another wire to the fuel pump ground and found that an AMAZING amount of fuel was being dumped into my car after that. it messed up my entire tuning session. . . that i had JUST got done with!!!! hahaha.

also, tyler, what boost levels are you gonna run? 15 or so psi?

paul

 

I haven't thought about boost levels. I have been running 13 psi or so. Now that I am getting an IC I guess I could bump it up a bit. I forgot to mention that I am running magnecore 10mm wires. What are b10egv's?

 

oh sorry. . b10egv's are ngk "10" range sparkplugs. . . a little cheaper than getting the rotary special plugs. about 6 bucks a pop. they have the traditional electrode configuration.

TURN IT UP!!!! hahahaha, whichever. . . haha. what is it. . . 15psi max for stockers?

paul

 

And where may one get the b10ebv's????

 

at your local parts store. . . anywhere that sells ngk sparkplugs!!!!

paul

 

STILL waiting on my SAFC-2 in the mail... why is it that you can quarentee things to take longer going to or from TX ^_^

heh... just hope it gets here in time to install and have ready for the tune.

BTW Paul... check you PM's

 

dude. . . how EXACTLY did you purchase that safc-2? tell me you used paypal. . . please. . . .

btw. . . pms checked.

paul

 

yep it was e-bay...
it should be here by around tuesday or so.
i just didnt request express shipping, so it's taking a bit longer.

thanx again Paul,
Bryan

 

Does anybody have directions or an address of the location where we are doing this?

 

I can give you basic directions.. Or try map quest.
Just tell me what interstate you will be comming in on?

I hope everyone is still in for tunning that mentioned it before. I will touch base with dyno and Steve again late this week or next week just to confirm again.

My car is looking like it will not be ready unless A-spec gets there turbo's in soon.. I am just waiting to put it all together..

 

I'll just use mapquest if you give me the address.

 

im still in. . . and so is david garfinkle.

mike. . . maybe i can come out one weekend if you need some help. im sure we could get it done. . . unless you have other help around you. just thought id throw that out there.

paul
