Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.

Almost there......so annoying attempting to do the car around shift work. Mazda threw in one more awesome trick. The turbo has a nice little support underneath (must be because the turbo is so massive *cough*) so I need a 300mm extension bar so I can undo the 12mm bolt holding it in place. The exhaust and front transmission is well placed to make it even harder to manage.

Then all the new stuffs can go on!

Welcome to the world of modding where you will most likely have to buy special tools (or make your own) to carry out your turbo upgrade.

Also,

Is labdirect.com.au one of your direct competitors?

What do you need courage for Pete? Just have a big skull of scotch or something...

No harder job than timing belt right? Or am I missing something?

I'm actually trying to figure out if i need to take off the timing belt completely, or just undo the gears and put the new ones in in place, (assuming the timing belt etc is brand new, that's another thing) or if that's going to mess up the tension on the belt.

Long story short i don't have the tools to remove the harmonic balancer.

Pulley puller, cheap as ;)

Without knowing rb's specifically, I would say it will be faster and easier to pull the belt etc, do the gears and then chuck it back together ;)

Indeed, need to do the full Monty on it, perhaps even drop the radiator out too due to this one being stupidly thick. Not going to do it today though as I want the car tonight+on the weekend, its a Monday job.

Pete I recommend you take the car a good a mech and get it done there.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
