[weede_klze]

wow, great progress!

[IMACHU2]

Have you ever taken the car down the 1/4 mile? I am curious about the peformance gain of the cams, the nitrous and the MSD RPM activated VRIS. Very kool project!

[WhiteFinish]

Yes, once. Only ZE no bolt ons. 15.8 I believe

My hart was pounding like crazy when I did it.

[WhiteFinish]

The recent updates:

- Gearbox
The outer half of the gearbox has to much worn bearingshells holder. So have to source another one.

- Megasquirt
It's hooked up, just don't dare to start it before somebody looks at my current tune

- Brakes
Rebuild all the calipers (mx5 rears and mazda 6) After sandblasting / powder coating now some new rubbers sealings.

Got some extra goodies today

First the CARBON fiber radiator support !! Yesss


Second, a mini cooper s front brake disk. I'm going to try a bit more with those things.

[DeadMaker]

Great proggress.Now let's see which brake disk will find his home..

[WhiteFinish]

After some help from a guy from PT i managed to get the right settings in my megasquirt.

Last week it was at 3000rpm when stationairy.
Now i solved it and the car ran a lot better.

Yet, it still runs very lean. Got to figure at what that problem is.
It looks like my timing is way off.

great update bro, Where did u get the carbon fiber rad support...you didnt make it by any chance?

[WhiteFinish]

Nope, it's one from EvilYeti.

Dutch member bought it (Yence), sold the car, and I pursuaded the old current owner to trade it with me against a OEM powdercoated one.

[kulluminati777]

ah ha you devil you

[Ryan]

Depending on your cams, you may get a false lean at idle due to large overlap. A good bet is to get an EGT (Exhaust gas temperature) gauge, it helps back up your lambda readings.

[WhiteFinish]

Timing was off in the settings of Tunerstudio.
I didn't understand how it worked but somebody explained it to me...

Now works very nice.

Next thing i want to solve is the surging idle... surges around 650-750 rpm. I'm positive it could be a calm regular rpm.

[WhiteFinish]

I got a nice new box with EBC brakes

Inspired by Wythbishop and Weeds_KLZE

Fronts: Mazda 6 283mm
Rears: Mazda mx5 sports/suspension

Pads: EBC greenstuff (they don't have more agressive for those cars)



Megasquirt is till giving me a hard time.
Can't see to rev above 4100 rpm

[weede_klze]

Great rotors
