that fluid dripping that OP said looks and smells like trans fluid is prolly the powersteering fluid? Id guess.... since its on that side and it uses ATF...

might as well bend over, your getting raped with those services and prices. I work at toyota which I know is different than mazda but at 30k I would never recommend those services to a customer so soon. what a freakin joke. unless theres some serious problems with your car those fluids and the...

hah I broke that same coolant hose on my cpe fmic kit. right where the bend touches the hotpipe it burst. I went to autozone and bought a close match then cut it to fit.

do oil, trans fluid, inspect serpentine belt, air filter, cabin air filter, inspect cv boots, powersteering boots, inspect susp system and all moving parts on the control arms, check your tires and pressure(including the spare), look at your brakes/pads, and top off all fluids. maybe even check...

dude its super easy with the proper tools. after doing it and my mani a few times I can knock both out in less than 2hrs drinking beers and bullshitting with friends

the only heat shields I left on my car after i put on a dp were the ones that covered the mani. you dont have a way to secure them back to your dp after putting the cobb in anyways so just leave them off. wont hurt anything. I also zip tied up my primary 02 sensor wire so it wouldnt rest on the...

if you wanna make any decent power on this car it is about how much you can get in the motor in that small window of time. just to run the motor tho, your right it isnt.

all of you guys who are sitting here talking out your asses on the subject of fuel pumps/pressure/volume.....Have you installed a set of them? what were your mods at the time? did you datalog pressure and afr's before and after the install? what were your impressions of how the car drove/felt...

this is basically true, theres more factors that go into how much fuel is injected at a specific moment though, but an upgraded pump flows more volume at the same or greater pressure, meaning more fuel gets injected during each pulse. If it didnt work like that then everyone would be fully...

I cant believe how many of you guys still dont understand, fuel pressure doesnt mean s***. 1600 or 1700 psi on a stock pump is junk. All it means is that your pump is keeping up or failing. If you mod your car and want to make any power or get good performance, you HAVE to get a fuel pump or...

check the plugs, the gap, the coilpacks, even do the coil spring stretch mod and a dap of di-electric grease on the plug tip for a better contact. As said above, if you clean your engine there could be water down in there too...

if the cars not knocking or cutting then let it be. leave that stuff on.

the 02 sensor should be in the bung thats closest to the firewall, thats how I ran mine and how everyone I know runs theirs. Prob wont make any difference to be honest. This is not the explanation for people blowing their engines, period. theres alot more to it than this kinda little crap...

you need a good tune or a proper MBC setup. this little ass turbo spools up so fast that with a few breather mods on it, it will easily overshoot its target before the stock boost solenoid can open the WG and pull it down

outside. like where a coupler would slide onto the inlet of the turbo to connect to the intake

its a core plug thats in the bottom of the intake mani. It is pressed into place. no special tools needed. Hit the old one sideways and pull it out, then hit the new one into place nice and straight. Its actually not a very good option in my opinion, it wont spray very evenly into all runners...

yup. the k04 inlet is 2"

Dude, you've got alot to learn. First of all, if you dont have the DH yet how are you monitoring fuel pressure? second, you gotta understand that fuel pressure doesnt mean s***, all it means is that your pump is working or failed. Upgraded units flow more VOLUME, which is what you need when you...

I wouldnt get maps from other people. each car acts differently. How are you datalogging your pulls if you dont have a DH yet? I see you have a wideband 02 to read afr but you need to be reading alot more than that to start tuning....Are you using the blackbox software with the SB? Here's what I...

as said already the factory tune is pretty darn rich. Also, there has been guys on the other forums that hooked scopes up to the injectors and found that at higher rpm's they spray into the exhaust stroke a little bit, causing extra fuel to go out the exhaust and get more soot on the tailpipe as...
