the other motor and carbon fiber trim

 

^ that's what i saw

 

yea, the motor

Thinking about building an FI block next...

If I try and boost my Iannetti ceramics, Rick E and Paul will most likely flog me if I cannot get it tuned properly. Not sure how much boost the ceramics can take, maybe 5 PSI? So, that motor on the stand is my original block that will get ported and doweled together for turbo boost.

 

now you are talkin'

 

Nemesis: what are you monitoring on those gauges?
I assume the one on the left is AFR?

 

looks like fuel pressure. good choice.

now start on that FI build please!!

 

haha - fuel pressure is correct. You guessed the other one.

Man cannot live too long without booooosssttt

 

Mazda Motorsports rates the Iannetti seals for a higher boost pressure than you will ever run in a Renesis. It's all in the quality of the tune and supporting components.

That is a weird flapping sound. Did you listen with a stethoscope to see if you can narrow it down?

 

Stethoscope says water pump. I wonder if the sound resonated in the hard firewall water pipe?

 

The first seconds the sound changes completely.

 

it really reminds me of a spark jump, but that would have to be a huge jump to make that much noise..

beers

 

BHR Ignition with 6000 miles on it, and brand new plugs for the dyno day, so even though it may sound similar, it is not a spark jump. My money is the water pump, and tonight I will drop the drive belt again to find out. Thanks for looking man!

 

How about 9 PSI, is that a safe bet?

 

No belt - no sound

 

hey thats what i said!

 

That's interesting.

 

dang, this car never ceases to amaze me - I'm always working on it lately....

 

we're all working on our cars a lot these days.. new motors, weird issues, maintenance, etc..

 

the big problem for a street car is there's no guaranteeing the quality of pump gas

 

Paul is taking care of me on the water pump. Great company that Mazmart!

As soon as I have it installed, I am off to another dyno, with a catless midpipe.

 

Pump gas sucks - that may have been Denny's downfall also. Tune for 87 even though the pump says 91....

 

or spray?

 

crap just threw P2004 and P2503.
