To be continued....... Off to Colorado, new owner seems like a really cool guy and has a deposit down with Barret for the Contrive AWD kit! So it seems he will pick up where I left off and make this thing a true beast. He is a greenie member here so I look forward to him becoming a metal...

Not really the correct place to post this question honestly. @Raider @Awafrican perhaps you can move this somewhere that might get more traction?

Rock Auto shows NTK 24354 for the Primary 02 on the Speed 6 for about $154. https://www.ngk.com/ntk-24354-oe-identical-afr-sensor

I'm looking to sell mine I have a build thread here. I'd love it if someone took care of it and made it AWD

PD tuned here as well. Will is awesome and will answer any questions you may have. Anyone who thinks he's a dick is a sensitive little butterfly in my opinion. Will can be very direct and matter of fact, with what some would whine is little patience. You have to realize this platform has been...

Well in regards to your desire to stay TMIC and your horsepower goals I would give this a read. https://mazdaspeeds.org/index.php?threads/the-buttstallion-build.5659/ As I mentioned before take some time and dig through the build diaries there is a LOT of good stuff there!

I read "after a series of frustrating events" and laughed to myself because I feel like that's part of owning a Speed at this point! I def feel ya on that one. Glad you sorted it out!

Yeah it's really not fun when you do something to the car that you think is going to make it better and it ends up worse! :(

Oh I'm no expert, all I was doing was pointing out there may be some undesirable effects. I know just enough about this stuff to be aware but not nearly enough to speak on it in an intelligent manner! I was just trying to illustrate that you should do some reading/research is all. Like you...

This is a pretty good article that discusses tire width/rim width. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/articles/wheel-width-is-wider-always-better/ A 275 on a 9 inch wheel falls out of the recommended size for a 9 inch wheel. By squeezing a wider than ideal tire on that rim you are effectively...

I just went to 17x9 40 offset Konigs with 255/40 tires and have zero rub. Did a whole bunch of HW and used the same fitment calculator. No spacers and good clearance on the struts. I did have to roll the rear fenders flat. So I'm assuming your goal is just straight line traction? I can't...

What a fucking nightmare, sorry to hear this happened.

Couple of things, first what do your STFTs look like? Your LTFT is using STFT to try and compensate for whatever error you have. When you are looking for a leak in your intake system you would be much better served by smoke testing than attempting to disassemble everything and visually inspect...

FYI in the worst case that you do have to go the new HPFP route. Rock Auto has the Hitachi HPFP for about $300. Hitachi is the OEM manufacturer for the factory Mazda HPFP. I've been running the RA Hitachi pump for about a year now.

Why is your turbo oil feed coming from your oil filter conversion and not the OEM location on the back of the block under the Alt? The OEM turbo oil feed location doesn't have any pressure regulation either so I'm not sure why an OPR was recommended? As Awa already mentioned it's not a...

Can confirm you will not suck oil into your intake if everything is healthy and in place. I can tell you at least one way to suck oil into your intake through the breather though o_O

To echo what Awa said, this motor is a turbo DI motor and tends to run pretty "dirty" in comparison to a port injected motor. Soot on the tail pipes and back hatch are a part of life with this car as well as carbon build up on valves and other engine components.

So I think I am done throwing money at this car! I had plans to go PI but have changed my mind, plan is to enjoy it the rest of this year and see about selling next summer. I still really enjoy driving it but I am getting a bit tired of all the work involved in having something so far from...

Enki is on Hankook RS3 or maybe RS4s at this point I believe. I just went from Mich PS4s to Falken RT615s and it was a BIG difference in grip. Both the Hankook RS4 and the Falken RT615+ are in the same category as the Mich Cup2s. Like you said Awa can never go wrong with Mich tires but they are...

This guy has jokes, maybe Drama is the answer for you.
