    MAP Sensor or BUST

    So I checked out the sensor yesterday as it's the new 1 I just installed but it started throwing me into limp mode again. As far as the moisture on the tip, it's nothing I wouldn't expect from the air compressing. Doesn't smell like oil or fuel. The harness seems intact and the connections are...

    Headlamp downgrade

    I can't be the only 1 that's thought of doing this. Honestly just looking for information or a schematic so I can rewire the harness

    Headlamp downgrade

    Hey guys, say what you will but I refuse to buy $400-500 headlights just because they swivel when you turn. Has anybody had any success with going from 12 pin auto level lights to old school? I'm pretty handy with wiring and reading schematics so any info would be appreciated

    MAP Sensor or BUST

    If the weather wasn't so shit I'd take the throttle body off and inspect the manifold but I don't think I'm running TOO dirty post turbo. Stock turbo gauge

    MAP Sensor or BUST

    Hey guys, been a while since I've visited. Here due to more issues with my MAP sensor. I can't seem to keep them around very long. Just like my father D'x Anyway, so I'm getting ready to buy my 4th MAP sensor in the last 2 years. Which leads me to believe my faulty MAP issues aren't just a bad...

    MAP mishap?

    I didn't just hit "I'm feeling lucky" in my Google search. I've got my VT set up for a Bosch 3bar sensor. So I started noticing some of the same issues that I was noticing when I had to replace the last map sensor. Koeo map voltage was sitting around 1.6 volts so I bought a Bosch 3bar map...

    MAP mishap?

    Haven't adjusted quite yet, still gathering info on whether it's even worth putting time into and taking to my tuner about it. But if it ends up working out I'll make a how to thread cuz it's like half the price of the 1 I bought on edge last time

    MAP mishap?

    I get that, but my question more so boils down to, what's the difference between a 3bar Bosch for Mazda and a 3bar Bosch for gm if it fits the housing and the harness. I'm assuming that the multipliers and offset aren't the same but the range and accuracy of the tables are. My reason for listing...

    MAP mishap?

    Hey guys, so I'm scratching my head on this 1. So I started noticing some similar issues to when my last map went bad; high koeo voltage, overboost conditions, high idle with clutch engaged(foot off). So I started shopping, bought a Bosch 3bar but ended up buying the gm version instead. Part...

    CX-Sleezin

    It's hard to tell whether they were intentionally welded or just rusted into each other through friction over the years. I did buy it from a fairly shady place so I wouldn't be surprised either way. Carfax showed the car in Philly for a good couple years Ya I was leaning that way. There's an...

    CX-Sleezin

    Bet, thanks bub. Here's some horrifying pictures. The first one's the rear pass side after about 3 consecutive hours of torch, chisel, PBlaster soak, chisel and spending about $400 on a 1/2" impact and socket set to no avail. The driver's side, I haven't even touched yet

    CX-Sleezin

    So I bought an 07 that I thought was pretty sound. Then my wheel bearings started going out. Now I'm here... Turns out they welded the axle nuts onto the hub on both rear assemblies. I'm just gonna cut the axles and but new ones. Only question I've got is where can I find good ones? There's an...

    FrankenSpeed Strikes Again

    Well I've kinda stopped the tuning process once I learned about my compression issues. I'm not stupid

    Not exactly, do you think I have no more than a week?

    FrankenSpeed Strikes Again

    Well honestly, with the state of what I've seen from this motor in not really trying to go for much more than stock until I can save up to get some beefy internals. Turns out I've got low compression in cylinder 3 anyway (115) so probably gonna rebuild cpe/manley pistons anyway

    So I've had luck with using seafoam for cleaning valves in the past. What're your preferences or methods?

    Ya, seals are definitely on the list. Is there a thread on here comparing brands by chance?

    FrankenSpeed Strikes Again

    Ok so quite a bit has happened as of late, I apologise but I was never good at keeping a diary. SO, my tuning is going well, on my 5th revision so far. But I've been keeping a close eye on my occ because I've noticed it collecting quite a bit of fluids lately. Ram a compression test...
