Tuning

Did something like this to the car. Will post pics later.


Just waiting to get the car tuned. Then I can start boosting hard!

New Pulley in!

Got the new pulley in. Upped me to .66 hkpa...(9.5psi) Still need to get it tuned and Dynoed. =) Maybe ill post some vids later.

I am thinking about getting a kit (like the one shown on the right) for the supercharger.
From what I understand the M62 tends to generate alot of heat when the boost pressure is raised above 5 PSI. So while ill be putting in the new pulley soon, that should put me at 8-10 PSI. Its either I use an Air to Air intercooler or go with a Methanol injection set up.
The only problem with the meth injection, if it fails there is a chance I could blow the motor......=( Anyways ill keep you guys updated!



Also want to say thanks to my followers!

Here is a picture of my Corbeau racing seat.

Nothing really going on with the build right now due to work. I'm trying thought!!!!

New Tool

We got a new tool  at work. A FLIR I50 Thermal Image Viewer...... Ill be using it for intercooler testing when using a air to water or an air to air intercooler....

Sorry the picture is so small. Thats how it comes off of the memory card   =(

Here is a nice shot of my interior. (this is before the vent gauge) I dont run racing harnesses everyday. Only on track days.

So far everything is moving along great. After I put the new pulley in I will be heading down to Munky Works (local tuner) to get the higher boost level tuned. Im shooting for no more than 10psi. Only because I dont want to build the block just yet.

FD Rx7 Rims

Here is a pic of my 1995 RX7 FD rims on 225/50/16 Bridgestone Potenza RE01-R tires. These are some serious rubber.

No news yet

Sorry guys, no updates for the Protege yet.....

For now here is an old school rotary!

Got the new pulley in the mail. should increase boost to 8-10psi

Got my gauge pod in. Its facing a little too high but if I tilt the vent the gauge sits just right. =)   But I still have to wire it up.

Last night, while I was going to get some dinner,  my oil cooler decided to start leaking. Boo... It was already too late to do anything. In the morning before heading to work I put another quart of oil in. I was lucky enough to make it to work. Good thing the night before I decided to get some oil and a new filter (it was time for an oil change anyways)
  So at work I quickly removed the oil sandwich plate, drained the oil and removed the cooler. Filled her back up and she's good as new. But now I think im just going to sell the oil cooler. (too much of a hassle for a daily driver)

Halfway done with the gauge pod.

Figured out that im going to be recieving the larger pulley sometime next week. I still have to find out what size belt I need to get.

My other set of rims.

I got a chance to put on the Mazdaspeed6 rims. Other than a leaking oil cooler everything else is the same. I will be getting the upgraded pulley soon. So yea! more boost!

Finally

So I actually had time to get a picture of the new grill for the Hella horns.

Later today Ill be going to a tire shop to get that last tire mounted to my Mazdaspeed6 rims. Then tomorrow ill clean up the car, switch the rims, and maybe start on the vent gauge pod.

BTW Thanks for following!!!!

More Shinari and Kudo Designed possible Mazda3

New Week

Since it was labor day weekend. I decided to take it easy on the car. Didnt really get around to do anything this weekend. lol Next weekend for sure!

Here is a new Mazda concept. Shinari.

Thinking about either getting a Air/Water intercooler, Intercooler or just straight piping.
Once I up the boost i will monitor the temps. If its not too bad ill just keep it where its at now. (no cooling) But its its bad, then ill just use either of the two intercoolers.

Still havent gotten around to getting the Mazdaspeed6 rims on yet. having trouble finding a place to mount the last tire.



In other news. I finally took out the racing seat and swapped it for the OEM seat. Sure it feels like im driving a truck, but its comfortable driving through traffic. lol

I just picked up an extra vent to make a gauge pod similar to this. I plan on orienating it so that it faces the driver.

 Final specs for my crank pulley  should put the supercharger up to 8-10 pounds of boost.
