So I'm finally weighting in!
Make year of car (motor if changed) - 2005 (Mazda factory reman in 2008) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Transmission type - 6 Speed manual -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Average high and low temp in area of operation - 45F to 98F (I don't drive in the Winter) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Altitude - 4985ft Above Sea Level (Thin air!!) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fuel grade - 91 Cat piss -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oil type/grade - Idemitsu 10W30 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Plug type/deg - Leading: NGK BURQEP, Trailing NGK RE9B-T, Custom LS2 Ignition System -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Miles on motor before turbo - 3,000 on Reman -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Miles with turbo - 3500 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blown motors - 1, but without turbo -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reason / what broke - Lost side seal in rear rotor -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Turbo kit - Custom/Modified GReddy with MM/Garrett GT3071R upgrade -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PCM/ECU - COBB Tuning AccessPORT -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lowest PSI and highest PSI you run - 7.5 psi (w/g) so far 14psi highest, still tuning -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Your normal operation PSI - 9-9.5 psi -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shop tuned or self tuned - Self -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dyno'd HP/TQ (if you have) - 330-rwhp and 326 ft-lbs of torque @13.5psi/317-rwhp and 286 ft-lbs of torque @10psi -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fuel upgrades - Denso 730cc third bank injectors -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cooling upgrades -Snow Stage 2 water/meth injection, BHR aluminum rad, GReddy 1.3 bar rad cap, 98% distilled water with Water Wetter, rad fans on earlier with AP tune, Seibon vented hood -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Exhaust type or diameter - Custom 3" diameter cat-delete pipe, HKS Hi-Power single outlet catback (2.9" diameter) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cat or catless - Catless! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Driving style (DD/heavy foot/so on) - I like boost -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Average time under boost per day - third of drive time -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total cost (ball park) for turbo/install/tune - $5500 including everything for turbo ONLY parts and ignition -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Personal comments about your setup. (likes/dislikes) I love having boost "On Command", passing cars on the highway is too easy, accelerating from a stoplight is a little scary. As with any major modifications, FI especially, it gets a little annoying to constantly have to watch AFRs and have an eye on your gauges, but the Cobb takes a lot of the worry away. |
Make year of car (motor if changed) - 2005 GT trim, purchased as a demo in 4/2006
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Transmission type - 6 Speed manual -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Average high and low temp in area of operation - 0-105 (NJ) though I don't like going outside when it's 100 (rare) and my other car will see most of the winter -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Altitude - +200-300ft -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fuel grade - 93 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oil type/grade - Valvoline 10/40 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Plug type/deg - To be determined. Just torched some Rx7 plugs after 9k. Mazsport ignition solution, HKS Twin power. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Miles on motor before turbo - 33k pre-turbo -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Miles with turbo - 9300 post turbo -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blown motors - none - still holds 20" vacuum at idle, for now. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reason / what broke - N/A -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Turbo kit - Type 1 (low mount) Mazsport kit -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PCM/ECU - Int-X -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lowest PSI and highest PSI you run - Started with 7 psi, run 12.8 psi peak right now regularly. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Your normal operation PSI - 12.8 psi peak -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shop tuned or self tuned - Top end tuned by Maximum AutoSound. Has been self adjusted heavily since to account for newer parts -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dyno'd HP/TQ (if you have) - Did a 320whp on Maximum AutoSound's dynapack, but I don't really want to use their numbers for comparison. Did 284 whp @ 6000 rpms (254 wtq) at KDR Perfomance (dynojet, 1.02 CF) before ending run. Car needed more fuel and spark plugs are toast. Will need to run again. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fuel upgrades - Mazsport Fuel Pump, Aeromotive Adj FPR, 650 primary, 780 secondary, stock aux injectors -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cooling upgrades -None. Mazmart water pump to be installed when I am no longer lazy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Exhaust type or diameter - RP Supercat gutted w/ custom resonator. Racing beat dual muffler exhaust. 2.5" seconds removed and replaced with 3" slip fit to get a full 3" exhaust -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cat or catless - Just the shell remains -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Driving style (DD/heavy foot/so on) - I boost a lot when I'm driving for fun, but 80% of my driving right now is to and from work. I'm putting miles on the car fairly quickly. I would anticipate a return to thorough use of the boost once I replace the spark plugs -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Average time under boost per day - If I drive 60 minutes a day, I'm probably in boost for less than 2 minutes. It doesn't take long to get to "lose your license" speed. If I'm on vacation and drive 60 minutes, I'll be in boost 20-30% of the time depending on the number of stop lights. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total cost (ball park) for turbo/install/tune - I plead the fifth. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I enjoy the numbers side of things. I like data logging and fuel maps and all the mundane crap. My car runs very quiet (possibly more quiet than stock) and I like that. I run 275 NT-01s and have no traction issues whatsoever with a little bit of throttle control (crappy pavement withstanding). As I've grown more comfortable with all the stuff added to the car, I've had a lot of fun doing setup and tuning work. |

(likes/dislikes) Love the extra power & low down torque . Have set my shift beeper to 7700rpm so it is no longer a 9000rpm screamer which is good in some ways but not so in others . Finding i get a bigger thrill taking short bursts to 6000-7000 in 2nd than I did taking it to 9000 . Cant see any need for more power but that may change over time . |

I dont beat my car up but there are times I floor it to keep it running good. I hit the twisties once a month. My car is driven at the most 3 times a week. I love the boost and the tune is just like OEM. For a car this lite and the added hp makes it such a fun ride. After the catless midpipe the boost is much quicker and comes on around 2k. The boost default back to 5psi around 7600k rpm but I uually shift at that point so I hardly exp the drop. The boost will go up to about 9-10 just for the experience once I set up my boost controller. Right now it looks stock and no bov sounds makes it a great sleeper. |
