what TT class are you in?

 

TTB, requiring no more than 213whp. Gayness.

 

Lol, tiny hp limitations.

 

I want to keep it at or under 250whp for TXMC. 250whp is fast enough.

 

I'd throw the cam on and if your dyno over turn the boost down 1psi. Less boost=less heat. It's only like 165 from mazda.

 

at that power level, water seems kinda obsessively overkill safe.

maybe just an intercooler sprayer so you keep more lube on your cylinder walls (or is the steam cleaning thing a myth?)

 

Awesome steam cleaning, but lower EGT more than anything else. I don't know that it's necessary, but it provides an insane level of safety by cutting EGT ~300*f according to the interwebs. There's also the money issue considering I just spent $300 at Mazdaspeed, Parts Group, and I still need to buy fittings and pay the machinist for labor. This sucks, I need to start bringing my lunch to work or something.

 

What did you get from The Parts Group? I saw Tommy a local autocross yesterday.

Actually, I need to go out there and get some stuff from him off a 96 M-Edition he picked up a couple of weeks ago.

 

2001 engine harness to rewire urrythang that's 22 years old.

 

Yea yea!

 

Is this lower port supposed to be covered?

There were several open vacuum ports on the bottom of the plenum, that can't help either.

I started cleaning up the wiring today and cleaning up the "aftermarket" stuff I made into something that looks like a respectable harness with this:

I also stole a few connectors from it. I will no longer have a dozen green or yellow wires, I will have wires I can chase. I also switched the IAT and oil pressure sensors to the right side of the car for routing, soldered all of my LC1 grounds to one big ring connector, wrapped almost everything in loom, fresh electrical tape on everything, and consolidated wires into loom to settle everything down. I borrowed some factory clips from the junk harness so things are bolted down instead of zip-tied. I still need to move the oil cooler, clean up all the wiring under the dash, pull the AC evap, figure out the heater situation, and get ARTech to make hardpipes for my coolant reroute. Then, phase 2 is the SS fuel lines and fire sleeve around anything that sees heat. I also took the PCV port in the intake plenum, flipped it around to point forward and will use that for the BOV.

 

^ (Intake Mani) I think its fine if you have the plate over the EGR location. Then again, I would probably seal it also, jsut so you don't get a bunch of **** in there.

 

I'm thinking about adding EGT, again. However, I have nowhere to put the gauge. I have 3 gauges (oil temp, boost, AFR) in the radio surround, and water temp in the cluster. Any thoughts on where I can put this 5th gauge?

 

Are you planning on running 4 EGT's sensors or just a single one? Other then that I have no idea on where to put gauges.

 

Attach it to the roll cage. They make gauge holders for just that purpose. Summit carries them, depending on your location, the local speed shop should have them as well.

 

He has no roll cage.

Hustler, mount it out of site. That's not one you'll be looking at frequently, is it? Better yet just hook it up to the MS for logging.

 

Not enough inputs.

 

What? He tracks the car without a roll cage? Okay....

 

I track my car without a cage.

 

It is done all the time. He does have a 4-point roll bar, like the rest of us that do HPDE or TT. It is a requirement. Having a dual-purpose car (street and track) with a full cage is not really practical.
