Well after installing a test pipe i went for a little drive. There is a little controversy over whether or not you run a stage 2 OTS map with one cat deleted. Some have success some dont. I loaded it up "stage 2 91" just out of curiosity. It didnt over boost but it did detect a little more...

I got done with a little bit of maintenance and finnaly drove her tonight. I installed denso plugs factory heat range gapped at .27. I loaded the stage 1+sf map and the car has come alive. No more skimps and skuters above 5k. It pulls smoothly all the way to redline. I used a cheap worn out...

Just an update. I've since installed an accessport and in the process of declaring husband and wife it said that it has a "previous tune". At first I thought that the person may have tuned it terribly or put a stage one tune without hpfp internals. I set it back to the stage 0 tune and it still...

I double checked that the PO didn't coolant bypass it becuase I didn't. The hoses are still on the throttle body. I've done quite a bit of research but to no success. My guess is I was using some old hose for something or it got swept up from the roadway. Does this hose number help at all?

I popped the hood on my 2007 mazdaspeed 3 this afternoon to bleed the slave and to change the oil. This little hose was chilling in the hood latch area. Does anyone know where it goes?

Thats what I thought. Just wanted a second opinion. Im going to run it until I pull the hpfp off for an oil leak. Thanks

This is an on going issue for about 5 months. Basically if I drive the car for a few blocks and park with it bone cold. When I return after a few minutes and start it again and begin driving the temp will not get over 2 or 3 ticks from cold. It doesn't matter how long I drive it either. I've had...

Sorry for the late response. I was just monitoring by watching it. It has a graph and a current value. So I belived It would show it on the graph if it was.

Okay I have an update as I've got the car back together and did a few pulls with the snapon scanner. It seems my fuel rail pressure is steady at 1900psi at 4500rpm to redline. Even when the car looses power at 5500 rpm. The ignition timing is right around 5 degrees in the same conditions and...

See this is what I needed to know. One more thing. On further research I've come to find out my knowledge on boost control is rather limited. The factory boost controller (which is a 2 port) should be plumbed how exactly? The way its plumbed right now is the hose running from the wastegate is...

Well I believe i found the problem. I apologize for not writing back. I've been swamped with work and putting this contraption back together. The boost controller thats mounted on the turbo is not hooked to vaccum. That would explain the over boosting conditions right? I'm guessing (correct me...

Yea i know just enough to get myself in trouble with the whole ecu thing. I have a little experience since I soldered and tuned my miatas ecu. I dont like the limitations of the cobb since you can't change the tune directly by yourself. Im still doing alot of research on the topic and haven't...

I appreciate the input. This is what I was afraid of. I do drive her pretty hard for a getting around car. I have access to a snapon scanner and I'm pretty sure it has a data logging feature. I'll post back my findings when I get the trans put back in. If i do find that my ecu is struggling I...

So I bought my first gen about 4 months ago knowing it needed some work. I just pulled the transmission to do a clutch and flywheel job. When doing so I noticed an aftermarket turbo. This car has no tune and is bone stock all the way around. Its a mahle 627 TC 20002 000 which is a twinscroll...
