If you guys don't have a problem with me doing a Mazsport-style, take your money and make you wait, routine I can start building the blower drive kits right away. Three pulleys and two belts for $500. Black hard-anodized aluminum with the BHR logo on the blower pulley.

 

Might you try and make it a priority for me?

 

Personally I don't mind waiting for a month but any more than that and you will have to flight over my pad and install it yourself.

 

Its not really that hot at this time. Id say we need to wait till next hot season to give you any real input. I need a rad so I might just put it on my car. At the rate my car is going together and the cost of gas im not sure if im going to put the car back on the road anytime soon. Im thinking of building it into a ***** to the wall track car and going another route with FI, and no, im not going to use a turbo. I might go all out and build a 350+ hp4 port/ 4speed, why not, the tranny is strong enough. Did you now its the one Mazda uses on the box trucks.

 

i dont think anyone wants you to do that...we've seen enough of that shyte to
last a life time...

and btw...thats not youre style...you wouldnt stoop to that type of business practice..

 

so Juan...did you win a trophy??

 

Yes, second place cuz I don't have lambo doors like yours.

 

saweet!!

 

it takes more than vertical doors to get first place..
gotta have the pettit radio **** at least....

AND an "engraved by Cam and Moon" MAF housing...

Speechless

 

thanks Juan, looks like you guys had a good show!

 

ok---i have thought and thought--dangerous thing for me to do. but, I cannot think of any other way to get ambient air into the engine bay(i wont use the rb cai thing, cant anyway with my set up) without some bodywork.
My reasoning here is that since we are an MAF driven system, the maf needs cool air and not the engine bay hot ***, roast peanuts with, air. I know the map is scaled to the iat so my a/f's are as expected BUT I think my performance is off a little.
So I am planning on getting a recessed scoop installed in front of the airway hole in the frame. It would be nice if there was a pre formed scoop already available.
I dont like doing bodywork and if anyone has any other suggestions please throw them out.

Ram Air hood scoop?

 

15.5 on mine

 

The S/C loads the motor like the A/C compressor - even at idle - so it is normal for it to pull about 1" or more vacuum from the nominal reading.

 

15.5 psi?

 

15.5 inches of mercury.

 

What's stock vacuum supposed to be (no a/c, no blower)? I would have said mine idled at 19", but maybe 17 is more usual (16 with the S/C) and my MAP is off.... or maybe I just read it incorrectly. My boost gauge is more of a warning system.

 

16" - 20" at sea level.

 

Alrighty - I'll stick with my 19" then!
