Awesome! In my quest for finding info on subframe bushings for the Speed6 (trying to get dimensions for making my own out of Polyurethane) I saw somebody installing these, but could never find out who made them. But how are you just gonna drop a link to a page that mentions a billet transfer...

Okay I think I see what happened, a bit of an understanding error on my part. The VW EA113 HPFP internals being mentioned are the APR internals that are available for the MazdaSpeed because they were produced by Hitachi for both our platforms with minor exterior differences but the same internal...

If you’re successfully using WinOLS and retrofit a HPFP from an Audi/Volkswagon/BMW that’s huge news to me that people in the community knew about this. You gotta share more if you can. This would allow true restructuring of the ECU data and a solution to fueling I didn’t know anyone had done...

I would assume for the set of 4 injectors as well at $1200. That’s cool that this manufacturer is prepared for our platform. Everything I said earlier is rendered moot by this new info. Thanks for the update @Enki That would just leave FPRV spring modification, or retrofit and maybe fuel rail...

True it’s not very likely, and at the very least would still require wiring and modification (probably to the ECU board). But it did take almost 20yrs from the first MZR Turbo hitting streets to even get to this point of finding 2 tables for injector control, so clearly there was still some...

Interesting development. I had heard that the injector pulse tables weren’t scalable on a factory ECU and that was why nobody made DI injector upgrades for these cars. Due to this it may not really be able to be tested as you’d like. Possible movement forward would probably be in the realm of...

That’s why I went ahead and got the “Golden Vasectomy.” Snip-snip means more time for zoom-zoom!

I purchased my Speed6 about 18 months ago and replaced the turbo that was replaced shortly before I bought it. When I went to replace it with a well rebuilt and slightly modified K04 I found locally from the MSP clubs around me, the one I pulled out seemed to be a MaxPeedingRods turbo given the...

There is a thread with a number of torque specs on the forums here. https://www.mazdaspeeds.org/threads/engine-tq-specs.962/ Also it didn’t take more than a few minutes of searching to find a PDF of the two FSM’s for a Speed6 when I got mine. If for some reason you are having trouble finding...

Here in the states I live in an area we call the “Rust Belt” due to the salt they use to de-ice the roads eating away cars after sometimes only 1-2 years on the road. The Speed6 (well almost all Mazdas 2000-2008) suffered from rear quarter panel rust if they spent time in this area. I just...

Rebuild it. It’s really not that hard rebuilding a lot of parts that nowadays are considered trash because a bearing went bad. I’ve rebuilt Alternators, PS pumps, AC compressors, secondary air pumps, and a few other accessories that are common on gas and diesel engines. It saves you the hassle...

Looks like a very solid build. You definitely have the car kitted with some nice and hard to find pieces, also pieces hard to find info on. If you feel up for it definitely help out the community with some how-to’s and parts reviews. I noticed the 10.6:1 Wiseco pistons in your build. I’ve been...

True it’s not that bad of a price, but for now alls I really need is 1 rear strut to get me through for now, and in the past I’ve thrown $30 dollar OE equivalent struts on friends cars that have lasted 80k miles and 6+ years. Plus, it seems the rear Bilsteins are on a nationwide back order...

There are a few pictures in a thread I started going over the grounds in the Speed6. There are a few pictured around the HPFP area, as well as a few near the ABS module that are easily accessible. You can find the FSM around the internet for free, but having gone through the FSM of a 370Z to...

I wouldn’t say my springs are bad/sagging, but I’m a firm believer in replacing as much of the 150k mile components on this car while I’m working in that area already, and I definitely have a blown rear passenger strut which explains the bad wheel bearing and toasted brake pad in that corner...
