Small Update: but tons of time and work I have started digging into the wiring more. I have all the engine wires hooked up. I decided to ghetto wire them for now to check that all sensors are right and that things are behaving as they should. I will upload the excel sheet of how it all works...

Yes, you need to update the mafcal in the tune like I show in the first post. Everything .9v and lower needs a value of 0.

More Stuffs I did end up wrapping and sealing the headers. I want to try and keep the heat out of the car as I will not have AC anytime soon. This took a few hours and was gross. Wear some gloves and clothes that you can wash right away. Keep the wrap wet or else you will just breathe in glass...

Fuel Pump I am still not totally sure on how to handle the fuel. I have seen people run a return and no return. I have seen them add an LS regulator but then idk what they did with the rx8 regulator that is in the basket. I had a spare fuel pump from the speed3 sitting around and it is rated...

I used my OEM keepers. https://mazdaspeeds.org/index.php?threads/installing-valve-springs-head-off-the-car.8711/

LOL They are fine, they were in there for a bit when I took the pic and then I kicked him out. It's a class 2 laser so I am not super worried.

Yeah I am pretty sure I have spent over 150$ on various bolts too "not even engine arp stuff". It all adds up for sure.

I ran the in tank fuel filter and never did an external filter. The only time I did an external was when I ran the secondary PI system with a CS fuel cell and that was completely separate from the OEM system. I can't remember if you need the regulator or not, pretty sure with the hellcat pump...

Small Update: I got the brake lines fixed up. Had to redo both the rear lines as they were too close to the header and hitting it. I decided to replace the rubber lines as I needed to bleed the entire system again. I ordered "04-11 Mazda RX-8 FRONT + REAR Techna-Fit Stainless Braided Steel...

Update: I swapped out the shifter for the Sikky T56 Magnum F Upgrade Short Throw Shifter. I didn't really care about short shifts but I did need the offset feature so I can line it up when it is on the car. I think I will need the 3" but I am not totally sure about that yet. I then...

Yeah I could do that and looked at it, the bigger issues is that it might not fit in the car sitting that far out and when you have it that far out you start to need a tensioner pulley as the belt will just flop around. I think once it is in the car I will have a better idea. This might end up...

Update - 2 steps forward 1 step back I finally got the piece I needed from v8roadsters and their email reply was less than satisfactory. I also decided I did not really like the way they did it with a copper washer and would rather use a bleeder fitting that actually fits the slave "throw out...

Nice to see the GB seals getting some love. They worked great for me at 600 whp. I had the CS Injector seals with them and didn't have any issues. https://mazdaspeeds.org/index.php?threads/johnnytightlips-build-maximum-carnage.7025/page-9#post-69097

Forgot to mention I also had to trim down the motor mounts as they were hitting the alternator and also just way wider than needed. At least I hope from all the pics I looked at they used the last bolt holes and theirs were trimmed too.

Update: None of the cxracing stuff came with any instructions so it has been slow going. I am also waiting on a reply from v8raodsters because there was a crucial part needed for the remote bleeder on the slave and it was just not in the kit. I am pretty upset with their kit being so half assed...

I don't know about the Protege but for the speed3 and 6 the ford ones work. http://corksport.com/support/instructions/Gen-6-501 Replacement Bucket Spreadsheet.xlsx

Update: Brakes are done. I was able to bleed them and so far no serious leaks. It did leak a little at first, some fittings needed tightened but it all seems good now. I also installed a line lock for umm.... hill starts.... Seems like the pedal is solid and brakes work, hopefully the ABS...

Yeah he could probably email them as well. I bet @CorkSport - Derrick has it.
