Yeah i am definitely thinking a vac leak but my latest smoke test didn't show any leaks so I am a bit confused. Ill give it an other test and maybe a bit more time. Ill also rotate the filter and see if that helps. And absolutely, when I do take it out its usually for more than an hour.

I'm assuming I would need to take apart the HPFP to clean it. Nothing changed, I don't drive the car much (maybe 4-5 times a month). Started running lean on idle once in a while and now runs lean on idle at all times. No VTA catch can. Tuned it a few years back, been on the same tune since. The...

Just did an other pull and I still got this high KR value (4.9). Hopefully i am just terrible at shifting lol

The logs are attached with the first post. Road was smooth. Although, I do have an ACT 6 puck clutch and all 3 damond motorsport mounts which leads me to believe it might just be from shifting gears which i remember being pretty rough on those pulls. That said, Im not sure what KR from a shift...

Hey everyone, I've been driving my 2007 speed6 for a little under a year now and I just got these high KR's (about 4-5) at high RPM doing some 3rd gear WOT pulls. I rarely see about 2 KR right before shifting which I assume is just mechanical noise from shifting but this time i saw 5.95 which...

So after about a month, I ended up fixing it. Heres a link to the fix: https://mazdaspeeds.org/index.php?threads/sids-sleepy-6.10634/page-3#post-87798

So as some of you may know, one of the hard lines on my power steering rack decided to blow this month. The line in question: Yeah, its corroded alright. I tried getting a line done by somebody with no luck. So i bought a used rack on ebay for 200$ down south. I regret that decision. When i...

Not sure if this is solved but I had this issue when my neutral switch was corroded/bad. If your idle changes when you press/let go of the clutch, this is likely the culprit.

So i just got off the phone with the guys that said they might be able to fabricate a line ... for 500-600$.:rage: I honestly gave up at that point and just bought a rack and pinion from a junk yard i found at car-parts.com for like 150$. Hopefully the line will be in alright condition ... At...

Just so were on the same page, this is the line i need to replace: I called a hydraulics shop around here and it looks like they will be able to make one for me. Ill have to take it out and bring it to them so we will have to see. Thanks for all the suggestions!

Thanks, ive been looking around a bit and im sure ill find something. The only issue is that i think this line has a banjo adapter at the end ... Not sure if that's doable given that I can't find any lines with a banjo adapter on one end ... I was wondering if i could just make a line with a...

Hey guys, I have a small hole in the power steering rack line due to corrosion. The power steering fluid is leaking everywhere so i have no power steering anymore. Its one of the lines that goes from the top of the steering rack to the bottom of the rack. Im looking around for parts and called...

Flange gasket, the donut gasket only goes on the stock cat i believe. The flange gasket is needed for the MS6 CPE downpipe. Ended up coming with the downpipe

Thanks, hopefully those plugs are going to clear up soon!

I was trying to figure out why my LTFT sits at -10 on idle. I thought maybe it has to do with the CAI hitting the top of the hood. Opened up the hood and the STFT shot up to bring the total fuel trims closer to 0! Ill have to figure out what exactly is pinching but I have a feeling the hood is...

Right make sense. Will the carbon burn off the plugs when i start hitting higher boost or am I better off swapping out the plugs later on? Because the way I see it, the higher boost will heat up the plugs again and burn off all that carbon. If thats not the case, i might have to get stock plugs...

So quick update: Hit about 800kms on the new engine today. Did a compression test and got 170 psi across all cylinders :) not sure if the 170 is accurate at all given the price of the compression tester ... Engine is running rich though, im getting a steady -10% LTFT at idle and my plugs seemed...

Yeah im just worried a bearing might be going. That said, i just installed an oil pressure gauge. Once im up to temp (gone for a drive), my oil pressure is at about 75psi at 3000rpm. Im assuming this is ok since the shop manual calls for max 80psi at 100°C. I did notice that my oil pressure is...

Hey guys, i just did an oil change at the 500km mark (300mi ish) and i cut open the filter. Im still seeing quite a bit of metal shavings in the filter. Is this normal? Im starting to get a little worried something might be going bad.
