I picked up an L33 5.3 Aluminum block LS engine. The plan is to rebuild it and stick it into an rx8. This project will take some time as I am not on any sort of deadline but it should be fun. If you are coming here for help and doing a similar install please read the entire thread as there is a...

The OEM fuel system with e30 is good to about 370whp or so before you start to see some wild IDC "injector duty cycle" To fix this people will run port injection on top of the direct injection system. This provides fuel when you need it the most "higher boost" and supplements the OEM system...

My car "as far as I know" still has OEM inner and outer tie rods. I have had a clunk for a year plus and have never been able to track it down. After doing some research I found that these might be the issue. I figured this would be good for others to know as well. I had never paid much...

After playing the mixing game for too long I decided I would like to try out a fuel cell and just run straight corn in it. I looked at a lot of options and moving the battery or doing a trunk cell but with small kids in the car I did not want fuel in the cabin. So here we go. This is as budget...

I recently installed the Pulsar GTX3071r and the Corksport Exhaust Manifold. I kept getting P0335 code when I would start my car. I mentioned this to some buddies and @Maisonvi mentioned he used to get this code with the 4" intake before he zeroed it out at .9v and below. I am guessing I never...

I had the opportunity to get a CS manifold and after talking to @CorkSport - Derrick he mentioned that they were testing out a Tial v-band flange and he might be able to score me one early. I needed to rebuild my JB 5862 PTE anyways and found out it was actual worse than I thought and the issues...

I have had issues with end link clearance since I bought this car and have pretty much let it bother me and ignored it. I am hoping this is the fix but incase anyone else is looking here is a quick install and measurements for the Massive Speed Front End Links. - MASS'13900.7...

I did not want to weld my valve cover but needed a vent because the vent on the oil cap just filled my catch can ever 2 weeks with oil. So I bought a fitting and here is how it worked. Buy THIS Remove the Valve Cover - I am sure instructions exist for this but it is pretty straight forward...

The stock mazda fuel wire appears to be 14-12awg it might be less but it is hard to tell. I was having some strange lean issues and this seemed to help. I re-wired the pump with a dedicated 10awg wire and a relay. The hellcat pump can def pull more amps than the stock stuff is rated for. I am...

http://www.therpmstore.com/ventpod-single-gauge-pod-for-mazda-3-/-mazdaspeed-3.html I recently bought a fuel pressure gauge to keep track of my fuel pressure regulator. I ran the line through the hood release spot. I removed the battery and then ran a coat wire through there. The pod...

I finished my port injection setup and I have noticed a strange issue. I thought I was alone in this but it appears that @andale927 and @Bigelow have similar issues. The issue I have noticed is that the FPR is pulsing, it will pulse + or - 3psi at idle. This pulse can be both heard and felt in...

The Split Second Controller is use to control additional Port Injection injectors. It uses MAF voltage and RPM to know how much to spray when. The controller is programmed via com to usb cable. It's kinda old school tech but it works well and is much more reliable then meth. I will not be...

If you are like me and just to straight VTA then get these, they are cheap and work well. If it goes bad you can replace it with the three extra you have. I got these at Lowes. The rubber is thick and I tested to 25psi without problems "which your intake should never see anyways" @SharksInSpace...

Mazdaspeed3 SSQV Blow Off Valve with HKS Direct Fit Adapter Purchase Date: May 18, 2019 I ran this as the new valve on my built motor. I never really felt like it was causing issues and it passed about 10 boost leak test I had done over the course of 7 months with the fresh motor. The...

UPDATE: 4/2020 After using this for a while it appears that the speed 6 bore is not going to work with the speed 3 master cylinder. It creates too much pressure for the master and screws it up. You can use this guide to make your own 3an line setup but for now this is not a solution. UPDATE 2...

I recently went built motor and installed an ACT 6 puck "zx5-hdg6 kit". The first 1500 miles or so the clutch engagement was about 3/4 up the pedal. This seemed about right and took a little while to get used to as the pedal is heavier and grabbier then stock but after no time I had it figured...
