bushings were worn. too much shaft play. well if you were running the 2 bar you should be fine at 15psi, 1 bar is 14.7psi.

 

also to add to my list of things i need to fix: i think my lash adjusters are going. terrible valve train noise when car warm, maybe not getting oil. and car has hard time running when noise is happening. no low oil pressure lights or anything so not blaming oil pump yet

 

You could be right actually, I think 1 bar lol if it's 14.7. Cause thats where probs begin, fing rips at 14 psi, but if I go over fuel trims wack out and got engine power reduced twice. But this only happened two nights when it was like 30 degrees out. Anyway 3 bar is going in and we'll see what happens

 

cant hurt to upgrade it.

 

i'm on stock map and no problems. but I guess with my boost leak i'm only at 13 psi lol

 

i thought the stock map would only read vacuum

 

stock Map will only read about 2.7 psi.


Had one of the best races I've had in a long time with a MazdaSpeed 6.Full bolt ons and tune with a 2 step. 1st run was from ~20 roll,in which he gained like 5 inches on me and then we stuck dead even until ~80.Guy was impressed how well my car did against his.Last 2 races were digs,in which he used the 2 step but gave me the hit off the light.both digs had the same outcome with him putting about a car on me but sticking dead even after I grabbed traction.Last race we took it to ~115.I layed into 4th for a while lol.I didn't even know they were AWD until the 1st dig race lol.Dude was super cool though.He said,'**** man that thing is fast,the whine sounds fkn crazy"

 

That's what I thought, then 2 bar 14.7, and 3 bar like 30?

 

yes

 

Thank you for clarification!

 

adr intense

 

what rims should i get

 

my friend had a speed6, i love those cars. pretty quick too but hard to gain power

 

Pretty vague! Hahaa. Well I love the Volk TE37 look, and the WORKS Cr-Kai. In their respective bronze, they look amazing. I know varrstoen, rota and enkei make a similar shape to those wheels.

 

you can get 400 on stock turbo if set up right.I was doing a little reading on em.thing was pretty bad ass.Had a 2-step/NLS feature in the tune.He used it on me on both digs lol.I was able to only let him get one car on me from the digs.

 

i shouldnt even bother thinking about this question anymore



its your car get what you like!!!!

 

I'm curious to know, what turbos are you boosted 2.2's running, and how much did your total build set you back $$$?

Let me know of the ''crazy deals'' you all got because I now work in a performance shop and can get all my parts at cost price (typically around 40% of msrp).

 

 

took off my throttle body today to see if i could get a better look at the extra nipple on my manifold. couldnt see one. maybe LAPs have different style manifold?

 

hahahaha those rims are legit. idk. i'm looking sparco assetta gara's. my turbo build was about 3k and there's 26 hours a labor in that. i'm using the k04 with a zzp manifold another note, detailed the cobalt and under the hood took the first coat off lol. touched up the strut thing. put lower bumper support on. getting ready for a huge ass car show next weekend. next week ill have side skirts on and my ss rear bumper but no lips..

 

The MAP sensor I got with the SC kit I bought is for a 2.4 and doesn't fit. Can I modify it somehow or is there a different sensor you guys are running that plugs in?

 

My car still has a 2 bar map on 20+psi. Had vince tune it out.

 

u seriously gotta lower it , its sitting way to high

 

Where'd you get it?

 

From zzp.
