The First Frontmounted CX-7

[MadMax1]

No what i'm doing is getting things all set up putting it back to stock then dynoing it then putting things back on then dynoing it again unless i can find someone in my area that will go with me to get theres dynoed to and i would pay for there dynoing cause that would be a big hassel for me to take it all apart put it back to stock then dyno it then put it all back to gether then dyno it again

Heya evo_mr2006,

I live in Danbury and would be willing to get a dyno of my stock CX-7, if your covering the cost. Where would you be planning to do it? XXtuning?

Let me know,

Where did you get the piping for it and the intercooler? How much were all the parts? let us know if the fogs fit next week! Thanks

all the work was custom piping and fitting the intercooler was bought and as of they way the set up is the foglights won't fit. i'm going to try to see how i can make it work with foglights if at all. I'm not a shop nor a tuner I have been doing my research and home work in order to do this. what i do for a living also helped me figure out what I needed to do. It cost me ruffly $400 for all the parts i needed

You know the fact is that dynoing 2 same cars will give you different horsepower ratings. To get an exact hp gain from the dyno you would have to do it on the same car.

No s***, I live in Danbury as well. There is a dyno closer than XX. There is Bristol Dyno (http://www.bristoldyno.com) as well as chassis dyno here in Danbury over by the new DMV.

Sorry i havent posted in a few days with what I'm doing as the people that live in ct know its been cold and like i siad before I don't have a shop That I'm working out of. I'm working out of my driveway. I havent doone much more then when I last posted. I'm trying to find better and stronger silicone
Boots then what i have now cause when I'm at 5,000rpm two of the boots pop off. The reason is cause the two boots are extra from an intake and they arent as stiff and thick as the boots for the intercooler kits. Plus i'm checking to see how i can run the pip differently for the people that want to keep there foglights. Hopefully I will be getting the new turbo set up and ECU soon. I should be getting the catback done soon to just waiting for my friend to weld the hangers for me.

The hose is popping off because of the clamps. You will either need T BOLT clamps or CONSTANT TORQUE clamps.

I tryed the t-bolt clamsp and it did the same thing i have the Couplers on order anyway it can't hurt trying ya know. the main thing I'm working on is finding a tuneing shop that will help me tune my cx-7 so that i can get max performace out of it with out going to the internal mod stage after that I'm done Don't wanta got to crazy unless I find a sponsor

*drools* I love my constant torque clamps.

Try using T-bolt clamps instead of worm-gear clamps. You can get them much tighter than worm-gears so that the hoses won't pop off.

ok i will order some more and we will see

 

[MadMax1]

Have you gotten this issue resolved with the fmic?

 

[cx-7_racer]

sure would like to see one out on the market.

 

[evo_mr2006]

I haven't had the chance to finish things yeti got the stuff just have been busy

 

[Quickie]

here is my two cent's haha!!
you can use forge motorsport silicone hoses, they have alot. also you might want to use tbolt clamps. they work better. i had the same problem with my gti and the intercooler pipe keep popping off at high boost.
here is the web link. http://www.forgemotorsport.co.uk/content.asp?inc=product&catalog=siliconhoses

good luck with it. can't wait till i see the updates. (2thumbs)
