Hey fellas, did alot more loggin as I was running around town to measure my water temps,,,
Ambient was 86-89degees
Never say anything over 196 with an average of 183 at speed, only reaching the higher temp sitting in traffic waiting to bypass an accident on the road,,,
Anyone who is thinking about the Pettit secondary rads setup I have an extra floor pan now and it would save ya a couple bucks on the kit, just cover your shipping,,, PM me,,,,

dont go there mate!!
i am in the process of getting it all put together now.--lunch time.
little hints i have found so far
1--dont forget to check the rear s.c. mount--i checked the tightness and it was--shall i say loose.
putting a double nut on it now like i should have to begin with.
2- two fuel injector rubber rings(the big one) had split ---what?????--
3- great time to tidy up vacuum lines--gauges wires etc.
4- my oem check valve going to the vacuum box with all the solenoids--- was almost stopped up----huh? Yep.
replaced with better check valve.
5- those little apv bolts ? They area )(*)&&%^&%#@*_+_(()&&$&## to get back on!!!!!!.

Thank God for medication and my wife.

Supercharger front pulley to S/C rotor shaft, tighten the bolt tight. (Impact wrench?)
Belt dressing seems to stop belt slippage too.
You should be able to barely twist the S/C belt 90 degrees with the thumb and index fingers on the drivers side of the belt run, halfway between the pulleys.
Definitely check those fuel injector seals for boost leakage. (this is where a water methanol kit helps, the pink "Boost-Juice" stains any leakage areas)

well progress:
Putting the lim back on was a little challage-----
Believe it or not one of the apv tiny "bolts" broke!!!!!!! (*&(&^%$@##@))_%^%!!!!!!
I was just tightening it with a 1/4 drive socket and a very small handle with 2 fingers close to the head of the rachet----and the damn thing broke.
You ever try to remove a broke bolt that small before? And dont say pull that arm --the set allen head strew on the side was put in with block filler.
Anyway --got her done and got the intake on, with the phenolic gasket--header on etc etc.
Then I found out I was missing one of the injectors seal engine side ---that litte round rubber thing! Cant find it any where(no it is not in the ports l! I guess it turned into a dryer sock.
Mazda ordering and they will be here tomorrow.
I insulated the fuel rail (inside of the rail looked really clean--really clean--i was impressed)
and my daugher is
GOING TO GET A LONGER BELT LOL!
You were absolutely right!!
Pulley is on--injectors placed (triple checked the connectors)
So most of it is done--i have some pics of some of the stuff that i will post when i have the time.

I predict you will find it when and where you least want to find it.
(That's the way it always works for me.

It's for a riding lawn mower, but this cap fits the coolant for the inter cooler good
I spoke with tech support at Agency Power about their Dual-Resonated Mid Pipe; it fits with my stock frame braces. (unlike Mazsport)
Ordered it today. (I know, I should have waited till Racing Beat starts selling with no waiting...)

I am tired of my midpipe fitting badly, and now have blown exhaust gaskets on both ends of the midpipe. (again)
I now sound like a ricer with a coffee can muffler.
The good news is, I am making great boost levels again.....

Sooner or later--mine doesnt sound too bad.

Anything else special that you had to do in order to get that out?
Did you have to remove the motor mounts to shift the engine over more?
Oh I believe it... I broke one of those bolts too.
I found a shoulder bolt through McMaster Carr that has almost the exact same dimensions.
I plan on ordering it soon so hopefully it fits well without rubbing against the gasket/plate.

For me, it broke while installing them.
Those things need to be tightened with care.
Luckily I was able to drill it out of the connecting arm without damaging the threads... didn't even need to tap it.
But that screw on the side of the manifold so the arm slides out was a PITA and I had to heat it up before I could turn it.
