i lived in the Jamicia x 3 yrs and had an oppitunity to go there---years ago. it was beatiful.

Guys---i am installing ---soon--this w/e ---a modified rear and front oil pressure regulators. Oil flow in our engines needs to be improved----watch for results.

hey Od
didn't you take some picts of your oil catch can...

I'am ashamed but I do not have one yet

but good news : I start installing the pettit 2nd intercooler

 

i have a reputation concerning pictures i feel pressured to maintain!

an exeption could be much appreciated
especially concerning a never done before modification.

 

I noticed something since a long time... my fuel tank is under "pressure" !
a friend of mine told me that a problem might occure with the tank "pressure compensating valve"

May someone help me to resolve this problem (if there really is a problem) ?

 

hey just wondering but which hex do you guys remove on the supercharger to drain the oil?

 

what is the problem ?
Yip your tank is under pressure - you will have a problem if you take a fuel line off in the engine bay and go away - don't ask me how i know !!@!!

 

I was told the bottom bolt on on the driver's side.

I use a small "brake bleeder" hand held vacuum pump with a 1/8 inch diameter hose to reach the bottom of the blower through the dipstick/fill hole.

Much less mess my way.

 

yes vacuum = win

 

You've made exceptions before - I demand and exception this time If all else fails someone will help you. Seriously, I would be very interested to see what you have and how you did it.

 

guess i will have to get my 22 yr old son back home to help.

HELLLLLP !!
I install the greddy oil filter relocation kit...I turn the car on.... and while warming, I heard "CHTAK" !!
I turn off the car and have oil all over the engine (and the floor)

Ok, so what broke : the screw where the oil filter used to be broke into the greddy "plate".
I do not know why ... I might have done something wrong (the oil pressure at iddle was 5psi instead of 2).

My questions : where can I buy this part ? what is the name of this part ?
I hope to fix it as soon as possible !

 

I am guessing Mazmart.

 

the most difficult thing is to locate the correct item number / name.
I know someone that may be able to do one for me but it really won't be like the OEM part.

 

i have never heard of that breaking before. Yes mazmart should have one.
oil pressure is 5psi at idle?? Holy crap that is too low man!!
mine was 30psi now is 38. see oil pressure discussion.

What I need is the screw where the oil filter goes onto :'(

 

N3H1-14-311A might be the part you need. If you don't have the factory service manual, your best bet might be to go to the local Mazda dealer parts department and they will show you a picture of the part so you can be sure you are buying the right piece.

 

On the other hand, asking the right guys if they have some extra engine pieces might yield unexpected results..............

 

I am trying to get this part as fast as possible...

but thanks for the part number...it is the correct one...

 

Make sure no bits are inside the motor.

 

yep --pull the pan--you are right bro.
Damn never seen that happen before.
tough break dude--guess i am not the only one with "gremlins"

guys go to the tech section and read the end of the oil pressure discussion----really good stuff.

Did I read somewhere in this thread that there is metal under tray available? The stock under-tray developed a crack and I had to remove the Pettit secondary radiator cuz I was afraid that it would drag the ground.

 

Brice is coming out with a metal undertray, but hasnt been released yet, you can find pics in Race Roots GTSpec Chassis bracing thread....

 

phil--just get a sheet of thin aluminum from lowes, home depo etc and use small bolts or rivets to reinforce the plastic.
you are a high speed freak (said with affection) and scooping all that air at high speeds is putting more stress on that underpanel.
