You rebuild the axles , rx8 on the hub side and explorer on the diff side. This is the reason I needed the axles from the junk yard too. They have a lifetime warranty on their cv axles so if it brakes they send you a new center section. You also need to weld their section to the existing...

Updates: I was not in a hurry to do this but it all kinda fell into place. A guy was selling the Ronin 8.8 kit for 500$ off because he never used it and dropped the project. It is currently on the way. This kit will allow me to drive the car like an idiot and do hard launches without worrying...

From the top of my head I am pretty sure it is only live when the key is set to ON or START. I can't recall if I tested it. I do have a draw which I have not tracked down but I was leaning towards the dying bose amp. Right now I just turn off the battery in the trunk when it might sit for a...

It depends on what mods you want in the future but if you don't plan on crazy power and just want a little more than stock fun times I would go ebay to get by until you decide to do something else.

If you need a new TIP you could just swoop the ebay one. I am not sure if it works with the nano though. As long as you do not mess with the MAF housing size you don't need a tune change. Mazda Mazdaspeed3 Mazdaspeed6 MPS 2.3L Silicone Inlet Turbo Intake Hose Kit

Yes, if it is pulling in a bunch of unmetered air the tune could be going into safety mode and trying to stop you from doing something dumb. I had a similar issue when a buddy of mine deleted his vtcs and forgot to plug the port on the intake manifold. It was not a very big hole but it made the...

Do a boost leak test/smoke test, it sounds like you have a massive vac leak. If the EBCS is not working that would not stop the car from driving/idling well and going WOT. It would just cause issues with boost control.

What are your mods, when did it start doing it?

I know people have also got it working with the android auto add on displays. Might be able to do something like that if you wanted to add car play / android auto and get some gauges. https://forum.realdash.net/t/connectivity-issues-haltech-can/6261/3

Well it took some messing around but I got the gauges setup and working with real live data. I used a premade theme and then modified it. I had chatgpt help me create the xml file with the canbus. It took about 9000 hours or prompts and went into madness a few times but I finally got it. I...

Bump Well I got tired of the rev9 suspension. Pretty sure it was worse than normal due to the previous owner lowering the car to the ground, it didn't even have bump stops anymore. I think the shocks were all shot. It felt like I was riding on nothing and the car would sound like I was falling...

Smol update: The OEM stereo was trash and made bad noises. It has been a min since I looked at the stereo scene and I thought things might have changed a bit but they haven't. I looked at the nice brands like Sony, Alpine, Pioneer and they are all a rip off for what you get. I am sure they...

Boost would be a good time but it has enough power right now to be really fun to drive and not go directly to jail.

Fixed it The haltech harness comes with a 4 pin can connector which is the same connector as the wideband controller so I had it plugged into that. Well turns out you are supposed to break out the 12v+ and Ground as the 4 pin on the ecu uses sensor ground and the wideband needs chassis ground...

Update: Not a ton of tinkering going on lately. I have been going through and e-tune from https://www.evans-tuning.com/tuning and he has been super good to work with. It cost 500$ and I can't complain. We are pretty much done with the tune and the car feels great and oem to drive. I was going...

You could also check the battery fuse hot wire as it likes to melt from time to time. I know that is more common on the gen pu but it's worth checking. It is usually under some plastic so might be hard to see. I suppose it could be a dead ecu if you welded with it all plugged in but if your...

Check the purple circle ground. Make sure it is attached.

Wiring - it's fun!! This seems more complicated than it is. One wire at a time and after 1 million hours it will all come together. If something seems odd or does not make sense it is possible I fixed it but forgot to update the spreadsheet. This wiring will pretty much get you pointed in the...

Thanks for the reply, it was 458$ shipped and worked perfect. I will be uploading my wiring info soon too.
