Gonna chime in because Raider reached out and asked me to. Simply put my obsession with these cars ran my life into the ground and I stepped away from them all together to grow up. I gave the Mazdaspeed platform and YouTube hours of my life to impress other people that never actually cared...
I don't want to mention my boost levels but I have exceeded my goals mention in the thread title. David Lundgen hooked me up with some BC Racing coils with Swift spring upgrade so I can stop the weight transfer and help the car hook up consistently. I still need some new adjustable rear camber...
While fixing my coolant leak 2 weekends ago I noticed not 1 but both axles have torn boots on the CV's. sigh. I also threw on a Prosport turbo blanket on the 6466 turbine housing curteous of advice from Chris Singer and Will Dawson. The turbine housing is ceramic coated but the bay still gets...
Safe to say my goals have likely been met. Car is running 34psi on 93 octane with 93 in both tanks, and a bit more on e85 in the aux PI cell, 93 in the oem tank. So far I love the setup. The R888R's help greatly with this setups violent spool up. I'll try to get some better videos tonight when...
First two pictures are from when I picked it up 2 Thursday's ago (bay is now covered in pollen, yay). I drove it 8hrs home on a basemap provided by my tuner Ryan at PD-Tuning.com with some tweaked maf cal and idle revision. Not a single hiccup so far, and had the oil changed at 500 mile mark at...
Raiderfab bumper latch setup has been ordered. Shoutout to @Raider for the MSO discount code as well. This is gonna get me the bumper fitment I've been looking for since I first ruined this bumper on many speed bumps while lowered. Ordering a lot of new OEM bumper and headlight hardware too
Car has been running for about a week now, I have videos on my instagram. Car is quiet as stock with the 3" dp hooked up to the stock cbe at the moment. I have 2 solutions of how to get more flow out of the 2.25/2.5" stock exhaust. I have an original Greddy Ti-C catback laying around for the car...
idk so far it has served Brent Sipe well on his 6062 at over 700hp at crank, he's now 6466 like me and I guess we'll both find it's limit.
On another note the car should fire next week, I guess we'll see. I have more update pics but I'd rather save some of the custom things I had Chris do to...
Thanks guys for the explanations on my behalf, I'll try to be more active here
Most recent pics of the build. It's looking like a car again! Wanted it running by my bday but I made some changes and a few secret upgrades that I think will be worth the tiny delay. I've waited 2 years to have a...
Shoutout to Sho for reminding me to update my thread with his happy bday msg lol. Made a few changes thanks to some friends who let me get this amazing setup I've wanted for about 4yrs now, 1 of 5! Shoutout to Bryce W, Brent S, Cory A, Chris Collins @ Speed Solutions and Eric Yarbrough @...
This was one of my favorite mazdaspeed 3's back in the day, love the build. 14k on step 2 colder plugs is a shit load of miles. I used to change mine on my DD e mix k04 and gtx28 ms3 at minimum every 7k miles iirc and will be doing even soner on the 6466. Keep up the posts about this car! I'd...
Making this thread at 1am so forgive me but this is about a year in the making basically, from the time I got serious about getting the car running. Popped 2nd motor (shitty 90mm overbored ATK reman engine) on k04, decided to go all out this time around. 2014 setup was bolt on GTX2867R on stock...
They are all drag cars.. every single one of them are stripped and have a lot more weight reduction then passenger seat deleted lol. Some of these cars were above 1/2 tank mark but alright
Quite a few high hp MS3 guys I've spoken to have had a scare with starvation on upgraded ITFP's in the stock tank. Kevin (hockeynube) (has the swiss cheese'd basket mod with Aero 325 pump how-to on here somewhere and talked about his starvation experience there), Shawn, Bryce, and Jake ditched...
