Check that... the windshield wiper fluid reservoir was hooked up... that nipple is just the breather for the pump.... my bad.

Any reason why your firewall blanket is gone?

slavearm

Some parts are there. It was torn up (not because of anything mazsport did mind you), and I dynamatted/heat shielded much of the firewall so it was unnecessary.

SoFL_RX8

is 12psi your max boost right now? And what do you think about an ignition upgrade in the future to make full use of that big turbo?

I envy you for getting the best kit on the market... but I think Ill be doing my own thing soon, so its short lived (fingers crossed).

He already has the upgraded mazsport ignition solution

slavearm

12 is nowhere near max boost. Just what I feel comfortable running. I don't have an ignition issue.

SoFL_RX8

So are you just keeping things conservative in general, or is there some reason youre not pushing the turbo harder than 12psi?

With your upgraded ignition you shouldnt have to worry about spark blow out, so why not use the turbo more for whats its capable of?

slavearm

Because I like all of my seals in 1 piece, and I live in CA which means I only have access (most of the time) to 91 Oxygenated gas or about 89 octane where you are from. You can only pull so much ignition to compensate.

gasoline in california sucks. He could always get 100 octane, just a pain to find.

Your car is amazing all around! Post some more pics and videos if you can.

slavearm

Thanks and will do. Waiting for a few parts on my car to be announced, then I will post a whole boat load of pics and vids. I think I have a couple of camera men lined up as well.

Can't wait to see!

Car looks awesome, and I bet it's even better to drive. How are you liking the Microtech dash? I've been thinking about getting one and would like to hear some first-hand reviews.

I love my dash display. While road racing it is just a glance and go for my water temps, boost pressure and rpms. After my cool down lap I scroll through and take note of my AFR's and min and max water temps, boost and rpms. Great stuff.

Can't live without the dash. Real time monitoring and then the best part... no need to bust out a laptop if something is fishy... just pull over and modify. It is AMAZING, switching maps on the fly is also awesome. Ignition lock is pretty damn sweet too... not to mention how nice it is to get all that info right at your fingertips.

I don't understand "mazdaspeed vacation" and they did stuff to it and sent it back.
like you paid to send it to them? and they sent you a modded car back?????

i am confused?

dumb Q probably but still i don't understand

jusanb

Mazsport vacation, not Mazdaspeed

chrism

your car finished yet?

whitebeau

nice.. 9 month weight.... did you get your car's Rebirth a SSN & Birth Certificate? i could barely wait 3 weeks for my car to get back... Nice setup!

slavearm

yah I have been rolling in it for over a month now.

ЯX-8

Isn't 9 months a long time for a turbo install, even with a tune?!

slavearm

They did quite a bit more than install the turbo.... re-read the first page maybe? I was one of the customers that asked Scott to fix my ignition. I think my ignition kit is Beta v2. LOL.
