I am actually dissapointed though that there were more people from out of state(and the country) there than from the Chicagoland area.... what's the deal guys!?

 

looks like you guys had fun

 

 

nice pics, keep 'em coming

 

I saw some flames on the vid

 

Damn, I look fat. I should edit that picture out.

 

I setup a photobucket account. PM me for the info to post pics. This way all the photos are in one spot and everyone can put comments on them. Make it a little easier to browse them. I am hoping to have most of my pics and vids posted tonite and the dyno scans tomorrow.

 

Something I notice is that now the AP flashes red when at WOT and AFR around 12.5. Is this part of the new upgrade?

 

MrSlySly, I thought I pm'd you already.
Plz check pm.

 

Don't know maybe, I know you can setup the flashing red according to a set RPM limit.

Are you sure it's not flashing due to a low RPM limit setup, like 6000 RPM's or something?

 

Sorry, I'm just now getting around to reading all the posts I missed after not being on the board for 3 days.

I would first like to thank everyone for coming out and making it a wonderful long day. We put 9 cars on the dyno in 9 hours. The cars that didn't have issues all did well. The lunch spread was awesome!!!! I really want to thank everyone for pitching in on that.

Dave and the guys at Performance AutoWerks were super nice and very helpfull. They worked through lunch, gave us access to use the lift, and let us borrow anything we needed. I highly recommend them as a shop to anyone in the Chicago area. I wish we would have been able to get the turbo cars on the dyno but what can I say, we had problems.

The BHR team is great. They really know how to run one of these and get stuff done. While MazdaManiac was flashing, dynoing, and tuning cars Charles R Hill installed a radiator, and front and rear sway bars on wcs's car. Not to mention the 3 compression tests that they ran. All I can say about these guys is that if you ever need ANYTHING talk to BHR!!!

On top of it all we were able to get my car not only running but running pretty well. I would like to get it back on a dyno sometime but that can wait. I only have about 80 miles on the turbo kit and I am running about 7 psi. Let me tell you it really moves tho!!!

I hope everyone had a great time and thanks for coming!

 

No one got a pic of all the cars together? That would've been hot!

 

unfortunately I don't think anyone did. I got a bunch of shots of the cars as they were in the parking lot but we never got around to getting them all lined up for a group photo. Check the photobucket account later tonite. I should have most of them posted by then.

[edit] screw waiting. i'm cheating at work. (listens to the hum of his laptop booting) [/edit]
[edit#2]Pics posted. working on vids now.[/edit#2]

 

I have about 90 pics and 3 or 4 videos but it will take me a little while to get them posted. I think I have pics of most of the cars.

 

I have my pics loaded. I just need to add titles and such. I need to verify my camera recorded audio for all my vids before I upload them.

 

Tommy....mine will probably hit the dyno later this week. The wastegate should be here and they will reroute it and also be putting the turbo blanket on it. So, maybe we could dyno both of ours at the same time. It'd be nice too since we're both kind of running a similar setup.

 

If tommy and louie are dynoing somewhere at the same time I am coming back out of hiding to witness the power.

Tommy, gonna update us with what went on to remedy the situation or is there another thread? I really loved the two turbo setups, look forward to some sexy numbers.

I would love to come back up and hit the dyno with you but I am booked solid for at least the next 3 weeks. We didn't end up putting the 1000cc injectors in because we thought there might be a problem. The OEM injectors are High Impedence injectors where as the 1000cc injectors I have are Low Impedence. If we tried to run the low impedence injectors with the OEM PCM we could burn it up and we were not sure if the Interceptor-X could fire low and high impedence injectors at the same time so we stuck with all high impedence injecotors. I talked to Scott today and he said the Interceptor could fire both the low and high impedence injectors at the same time so I will put the 1000cc injectors in the P2 positions sometime. But for now I am just going to enjoy the car.

I posted some more information under the Major Horsepower forum in tdiddy's turbo thread.

 

Nice pics and vids. To bad Ray was only "caught" working in 3 shots.

 

yea...we told him to pose as if he was really doin something so they dont count haha...no but ray is probably one of the hardest working guys there are....i give mad props to him man....lots of respect

 

so the porting is giving you about 20hp peak ?

 

Compared to the other NA 8's I would say that is pretty accurate. Which I had the skill and ***** to port mine

 

Ray's 8 sounds really good. I would love to see some numbers when hes spraying.

By the way -- I spent the first 2 hours looking for Charles before I figured out that Ray = Charles. Haha, I need to get on here more often.

 

Tdiddy,

CONGRATS!!! So glad to hear you are up and running! Bet you are going to drive the crap out of that thing now.

Now we just need to get you to a track day...

 

Did Jeef get dirty at all? Every pic he is standing near the wall.
