Can someone describe or post a pic of the egr location? I am getting PO401 code and have no idea what it looks like. Thanks.

As far as wheel load is concerned, which affects your contact patch, use the max vehicle weight and divide by 4. That is the target weight for the static WRL (wheel rated load). Tire rack calls it max load on the tire spec sheets. The closer to the WRL the better contact area the tire will...

Sumitomo HTRZ III Pros: Very smooth and quiet. Traction is awesome wet or dry. I don't change driving my driving style much. With these I've grown comfortable turning off the DSC always, wet or dry. They are predictable. Also, very inexpensive. Good life, longest yet of any tire I've used...

The tire and rim association publishes a small book detailing the correct tire sizing and mounted section width, diameter, etc. It is only about $117.50 and it explains everything.

Damn! I traded my 2G GSX for this thing. The wife wins, I'll be in the back seat at our next test drive.

This is my assumption about your install but it is commonly overlooked because turbos have traditionally been unaffected by engine oil pressure. In the recent development of ball bearings supporting the work shaft (as opposed to journal bearings) it has been largely overlooked that the turbo...

My CX-7 hitch looks like it might fit the MS6. I am not about to try it on my MS6; that's why I bought a CX-7. But someone else interested...may prove good results.

A new airbox from the dealer is less than the MAF ATP sells. They have an aluminum one, it is very shiny.

Check it out. $25. You can't go back without buying a new stock box top. http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123722526

The Magnaflow bolts up to the stock DP, so the CP-e DP should work with the Magnaflow cat-back if it works with the stock cat-back.

A little paint and clear coat and it looks better.

So I got bored and bought a filter at Autozone for $24.99. Car runs great with COBB AP tune stage1 + SF; better than the Stage1 with stock intake. I could have done a better job at making it look good, and I will replace the quick tie with something better, it was just what I had on hand.

What is your level of education exactly? I recall hanging a BSAE diploma on my wall many years ago; after reviewing your posts it seems you have far to go to reach that level, much less to have the understanding I do in this regard. But I am no longer interested in what you think is the correct...

I don't use rules of thumb. I use math that is proven to work. One last point before I drop this pointless discussion entirely. There at the end of your dissertation, it was 90 HP not 100HP. You should remember the starting parameters before continuing with mathematical formulas, the answer...

To correct the record and bring it back to the point you did state a 90 hp engine could not produce 400 Hp at 20 psi. My simple example was to show that yes actually it could. It may take a high rpm to achieve it but it could do it. I see now it wasn't clear because I chose to use the 2.3L...

Here is a better one for those who don't want to read http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnUGvfCkvbk&feature=related

Mitsubishi is rolling out the concept next year. It is already here. And hydrogen does produce some Nox, so it does pollute a little. http://www.treehugger.com/files/2005/12/miev_mitsubishi.php

I'm an engineer and I don't see any reason you couldn't tow #450's. (crazy) But 450 lbs is the trailer, so... it seems pointless. What is 450 lbs that you can't rent a truck to haul or just put in the car?

And that is also assuming 83% volumetric efficiency. The VE I backed out from my stock dyno runs. The torque produced is 311.5 ft-lbs for this case. thanks.

It is not logic and it is not a rational method. Your telling us you read the Turbo Tech on Garrett's website and still don't get it? Tech numero 03 clearly states it takes about 36 to 44 lbs/min of air flow to produce 400 HP ON ANY ENGINE. Displacement, efficiency, RPM, Boost, none of it...
