Hi all, new here and have been reading as much as I can. That said, I wanted to lay out my entire plan for this car over the next few months and see if I could get some input / recommendations from you fine knowledgeable folk on common pitfalls to avoid, other service I should perform while I'm...

I remember that! It was what solidified my decision to go with the cpe delta core because he had TONS of data to back it up. Is that thread kaput?

Worth a shot, thanks anyway - good luck with the (re)build!

You sellin any of those no-longer-needed parts? :biggrin:

Installed my AP to the car in prep for the mods I'll be putting in the weekend of the 10th. Noticed Cobb's 'Stage 0' seems to run the idle a bit lower, but the numbers look good based on what I pulled from a quick run last night.

I have indeed. My experience with cars started early, as my dad was a 'I won't pay someone to do anything unless I physically can't get the tools / parts myself' so I learned on several vehicles growing up. That gave me the (perhaps wrongly placed) confidence when I was 18 to take on a 13b...

:D Yeah, my last 'fun' car was a 300zx TT pushing 450 rwhp so it's time to get this Mazda a bit more pep since I'm missing that 'go' feeling :). I think that'll be about my interval as well, and I average around 15k a year (when I didn't work full-time remote) so yearly is feasible / not too...

Thank you for sharing your expertise - much appreciated.

I didn't say anyone here recommended it, just that in the large amount of reading elsewhere (MS3 forums, Reddit, etc) I see it come up frequently enough that I was confused why (even Bob the Oil Guy has an older VOA for it that seemingly recommended it for DI), esp with the comment in this...

Since I'm going to be rebuilding my HPFP w/ the E-85 safe o-rings, following this thread. I have E85 stations near me (in MD) so the goal is to have Freektune provide both a 93 and an E30 tune. I did notice the comment re: Rotella T6 mucking things up, and given all the...opinions I've read on...

So I purchased the car at ~80k miles and it's at about 99k now, and I'm willing to bet a pretty penny the valves have never been done so I'm expecting it to be pretty caked on there...hence the possibly wrong assumption that I'd need to do both the B12/ picks AND the blast. I'll take some pics...

Will be tackling this job in the coming month or so. Gonna do B12 / picks then blast (both is better than just one method, right?) Question on the walnut blasting - what PSI / media blaster did you guys use? I'm waffling because I want to buy one that's decent enough to work correctly but also...
