Dropped the car off last Thursday at the shop. All the drive train stuff has been completed. They're now buttoning up the engine stuff and getting it ready to drop in. Spent a week on vacation in bermuda which was much needed and amazing. So now just looking forward to getting my car back...

Update. My beater mz3 is finally road worthy after sitting in my back yard in true Kentucky fashion since August. I'll be dropping the ms6 off at TC CUSTOMS in Fairfield, OH for the motor swap and a boat load of other things sometime by 6-20-22. And they'll be doing it all while the girl and I...

Do it

No further updates for now. My buddies shop that's gonna do the swap for me is still catching up on other work. Who knows when they'll be ready for me. At this point, I'm working 6 days a week anyways and don't have time to take it up there let alone wrench on it or tune it when it's ready.

Kinda like vato zone.

Thanks to @Maisonvi for the badass hellcat setup to replace my existing one. Installed that today as well as new orings, and lock rings as part of the ms6 recall. Won't let the dealership touch my car, so I ordered the recall kit for $51 and did it myself

Generally I cruise around 3k. Still get close to 30mpg when driving normally since I have a giant turbo and it stays deep into vacuum

Timing being off can cause a backfire yes.

Pivot shaft seal is leaking

The pistons are 12.5:1. But it'll be lower with the headwork and the slightly thicker than stock HG I'll be running

Shop did some bowl work and cleaned up the intake and exhaust runners a little. It's ready to be slapped to the block and timed

Finally have a legitimate update. Tommy picked up everything from the machine shop today. Short block is assembled. Head is assembled with all the valve clearances done. Time to have him put together the long block and get this going after nearly 3 long years of sitting on parts and waiting for...

Most Clutches are rated for tq anyways. HP is just a function of torque. HP= (tq x rpm)/5252 But to give you an idea, the CM850 has held upwards of 1000whp on a speed. Issue being the cars making that power are spinning to 9k+ rpm and the 8.25" flywheel is too large to be spinning that fast and...

Exactly this

Luckily for me, I found a shart-4 neon owner selling his wotbox used in Cincinnati for $75. Had a buddy pick it up for me and take it over to the shop!

Still waiting on the machine shop to assemble the head. They're taking their sweet old time and it's driving me insane. That is all. Otherwise, got my overspeed seals and wot box. Just need fluids and shit now

You'll need to slap a pilot bearing in the crank. Since the cx7 has an auto trans, it doesn't have one in there.

The rich code is from being greater than -17% ltft. If you do a boost leak test and have no leaks, you need a professional tune from one of the trusted Mazdaspeed e-tuners. Those Cobb ots maps are designed to work with strictly all Cobb parts.
