Lol you could order a new one from JBR or Corksport with the GB's going on. I know they are expensive for what they are though.


On another note, seeing you doing work on your car makes me want to put on my summer tires!
Anyone else got them on yet? I might put them on the in the next hour or two.

[loki]

Hose is still leaking when you really pressurize. Maybe they always leak at that part....

Pissing me off

[optiklenz13]

I'm considering it, but picking up new rims this week, so probably not. I'll put the stockers up for sale if I end up doing so.

Chris your best bet is hose reducers at Home Depot. That's what I have on my Tial setup.

Thanks Paul I will give that a try cuz the tial adaptor is so small

I clamped the shit out of it with a tbolt clamp and added electrical tape and it still leaks....

[Polish_Eagle]

Are you referring to celestspeed Paul, or Mr.Wilson? I thought celest was running the older larger cp-e muffler? I personally have the older larger cp-e muffler and I am now on my 3rd one. The previous two I ended up having the welds for the baffles inside the muffler fail, and cp-e's warranty is shit for coverage. Though this 3rd one has been holding up just fine (knock on wood.. lol).

[breakfasteatre]

guys, im selling my sparco seat setup. complete bolt in, no modifications needed for the harness (schroth ralleye 3). get at me

[Mr Wilson]

No more race?

[breakfasteatre]

No more race?

for the time being

[Polish_Eagle]

celest, assumed they were the same exhaust.

ok. Yeah Paul has the first version of the exhaust for the gen 2. However, cp-e discontinued the version we are using because they had a lot of failures (Josh Adams told me via email) and that's why they went with the Triton setup (two mufflers, probably glass pack instead of the large baffled canister).

[CelestSpeed3]

I just took a sawzall to the exhaust and now have no muffler at all. I asked CPE if I could just buy the rear section of the Triton and they told me know. I would have to buy the whole catback at full price.

They are so stupid and their damn "lifetime" warranty. When it comes to customer service they have by far the worst service and are the biggest bunch of pricks.

[McGuyver_3]

knock on wood the triton is still holding strong. However since installed the muffler doesn't sit right. Im thinking of just having it fixed at a muffler shop. After all I did get a custom block off made so it would be quieter on cold starts in the winter. It was cheap

[Pacman]

I have one of the cp-e exhausts. Not sure if it's the triton, but no problems so far. When I went to heart for hearth, some guy told me it was going to fall off :p

One thing I notice is that one pipe sticks out more than the other. Maybe installation error I dunno.

Also, during cold start, purrs like godzilla.

[Mazdy]

The CPE CBE i got from Polish Eagle is fine....the drone he was talking about when your at 5500 rpm actually doesnt bother me..actually like the sound...plus I dont go 5500 city driving..maybe only highway....

My friend who owns a speed as well wants to buy the CBE from me....and I was looking at the Triton since I wanna stay CP-E

What im running right now.

AP
Autotech
CP-E SRI
Cobb TIP
CP-E cbe

Thats it for this season...not planning to go beyond what I have now anytime soon in the future..


Just trying to look for a more aggressive exhaust....

[Mr Wilson]

Sounds like you have the triton.
This is why I had a block off made. It is genuinely quieter. Initially I wanted a electronic valve but the shop didn't want to sell me one because they had to many issues.

A buddy of mine ran an electronic valve in his Pontiac Grand prix (supercharged) and had no issues for the years he had it on. I'd personal get the electronic valve :)

[loki]

2 hours and a million cuts on my hand later and I've installed the hose reducer and new 1 inch diam. Recirc. Hosing

Cut the end a little gimpy so only have about 10 mm at one point on the valve adaptor but it's not going anywhere anytime soon...I can fix that later

In hindsight, I should have put on the small hose first and then the larger on the intake last...


Who am I kidding...I'll fix it later...

[J_Logik]

Hey Gents,

So what's the word on NATOR?? Are we contemplating this anytime soon.....it's time for the works....

I'm also going to check my DP after reading the last few pages...I couldn't sneak up on Marlee Matlin, the way my sh*t sounds now!!!

[Mr Wilson]

Worked on my car all weekend.

- new Supertones
- replaced lower grill
- new under shield
- new shield in front passenger wheel well
- re-tightened CBE
- new front "M"
- emptied OCC
- cleaned coils and wheel wells
- re-painted calipers
- took off Rally Armors
- super half assed rear roll.......need to properly roll at some point
- summers on
- greased rsb
- rsb to stiffer setting

Think that is it.

Can have a NATOR weekend at my place sometime soon....I know Loki and Boyracer have been subtle.

[breakfasteatre]

Still deciding which intake to go with on the Beaner Turbo... do not want relocate ECU :(

[Mr Wilson]

Just don't go with the old metal JBR whale peen. boyracer is running HTP and I don't think he's relocated his.......don't remember if he's running a 51r either....

[boyracer]

Running HTP with 51R battery tray. Lots of room.

[loki]

Those small batteries.....

[starscream]

I am thinking the HTP 1 peice 3inch...but...dont want to go with a 51R battery, or a smaller tray.

[SomeGuy]

Corksport fits without modification...just remove ECU cover.

[Polish_Eagle]

I am thinking the HTP 1 peice 3inch...but...dont want to go with a 51R battery, or a smaller tray.
I talked with HTP and they said you could run their 3.5" intake on the Gen 2 speed3 by just relocating the ECU on top of the fuse box. Easy shit and now you'll have a SICK intake.

I plan on running the JBR or HTP 3.5" intake if I get the GT2871 turbo I have my sights on.

[loki]

Corksport fits without modification...just remove ECU cover.

Corksport intake is tiny

[SomeGuy]

Corksport intake is tiny

So if yours...

[loki]

that makes no sense...

[SomeGuy]

[loki]

its 3.5" vs. 2" which is the corksport

[loki]

let me rephrase, the corksport is not tiny, but is too small for an upgraded turbo application

for the K04, the corksport is probably the better intake out there, at least I found it had less issues with leaks

[SomeGuy]

Corksport has a true 3" ID intake for the MS3...I was not referring to their standard size intakes.

well it does not look like they offer it with the step-up silicone piece for the 4inch turbo intake side, only a step down to 1.75" for the stock K04

[Mr Wilson]

SU all the way

[SomeGuy]

well it does not look like they offer it with the step-up silicone piece for the 4inch turbo intake side, only a step down to 1.75" for the stock K04

Because a $10 coupler is hard to find? He was looking for an intake that doesn't need a 51r or relocated ECU, so it is an option.

Also, he said Beaner...so the S3, what's the inlet size on it? Isn't it stock size?

[loki]

You dont need to get so worked up if I am giving my opinion on corksport

If you want to offer a larger intake with the modded speed in mind there should be an option for larger coupler when you purchase. Not whether or not a coupler is hard to find or not.

For what its worth, my intake fits with the stock battery in place with the ecu moved. I believe fywdyl kept the stock battery. I think on the corksport website it said you had to move the ecu...but I could be wrong/misread

Bnr I believe uses all the original k04 housing

Polish Eagle mentioned gt2871 which had 4 inch intake

[loki]

No dice if you have gen1

** 07-09 Mazdaspeed 3 and Mazdaspeed 6 must make ecu or battery modifications for fitment.
** Does not fit with CorkSport cold air box.
** This system is not CARB approved..

[SomeGuy]

Not getting worked up at all lol relax grumpy cat.

2nd gen we get lucky but ya, ECU relocate is the easy option.

Also, he said Beaner...so the S3, what's the inlet size on it? Isn't it stock size?

The newer S3v2 is 2.5 inches from what I gather, and the housings are all done up inhouse, compressor and exhaust. No more reusing the stock stuff at all.

[boyracer]

When ordering HTP, one of the options they give you is the coupler size for the BNR.



By the way, any one want my BNR?

So it sounds like we are a few weeks from a NATOR session....may have to get some things done in the meantime.

I have no BT plans so, no WP intakes for me.

My meth pump broke... one thing after the next with this car right now... status light comes on so its getting signal and power.

I tried to manually pump it by connecting the leads to the battery and it won't even turn the pump on so it's completely pooched... trying to see if snow performance will warranty it or not. I will have to pay shipping to Snow performance because "Canada" and a brand new pump is $120-$200 so I am deciding on paying for shipping and hoping its covered (which it should be seeing as I only ran a 50/50 mix and didn't misuse it) or get a new one all together.

I was reading Mark Stielow's Jalopnik AMA this morning...I mean, I had the whole good engineering school + FSAE experience figured out 20 yrs ago, and when he mentioned that that's a good way to get into an engineering gig at the Big 3, I felt a sense that, "hey...these are good ppl who prolly think like me!" And I finished the read with a sense of comfort that there are good ppl in these programs and it made me think even more highly of FSAE programs...

Then I read that post and realize...and reminded of by MBNTO...that FSAE basically lets anyone in. Sigh...I feel less for FSAE now, than I did this morning...

btw. who was at mosport on the weekend to check out the new DDT? i know Kiyomi was there and layed down some good laps in his 3, but didnt see any others. there was a guy in a super clean 8 that was pretty quick also. Fobio, i take it you never made it up. Track looks good for all those wondering. brand new pavement on the entire track, and a mean banked corner utilizing the old oval. longer front straight and a wicked chicane at the end of it. very interesting track now, and much faster. there's my 2 cents anyway :)

btw. who was at mosport on the weekend to check out the new DDT? i know Kiyomi was there and layed down some good laps in his 3, but didnt see any others. there was a guy in a super clean 8 that was pretty quick also. Fobio, i take it you never made it up.

The video I tried to share on FB was a hot lap...you can see the track surface is paved smooth, but the track overall has uneven undulations, likely from "frost heaves" as observed by MBNTO from others who've been there a week ago. The run-offs look rutted and rough, with no curbing. I haven't been on it yet, but I just wanted to share some early observations and for us to see how/if it improves. As of now, it's not good enough for any sanctioned racing that we do on it.

[tanspeed3]

this is true. there are 6 inch drops off the track into gravel for a run off lol. it will be much nicer when grass is grown, will also keep from dust and dirt getting kicked up on the track, which happened on a few occasions yesterday

this. plus that rsx which almost went into the wall full speed, and took the apex too late on the last turn before the straightaway. luckily he regained control after spraying a crap ton of dirt everywhere in a fwd drift. lol

How's the build coming?

fixed? wouldnt it be cheaper to just buy a new fender?

not really because I'd still have to paint/blend it

[Mr Wilson]

Just throw some dirt on it, voila, blended to the rest of the car.

[breakfasteatre]

its black

[miako]

My meth pump broke... one thing after the next with this car right now... status light comes on so its getting signal and power.

I tried to manually pump it by connecting the leads to the battery and it won't even turn the pump on so it's completely pooched... trying to see if snow performance will warranty it or not. I will have to pay shipping to Snow performance because "Canada" and a brand new pump is $120-$200 so I am deciding on paying for shipping and hoping its covered (which it should be seeing as I only ran a 50/50 mix and didn't misuse it) or get a new one all together.
pwdunmore which meth kit were you running pat?

Snow Performance Stage 2 MAF on a 50/50 meth/water mix.

I spoke to the senior technician, he said he was getting a lot of pumps back from colder climates so he thinks that having the mixture "sit" in the pumps over winter (because meth barely comes on) can cause deposits and the rubber seal to soften. Which can cause the pump to seize because the bearings can't spin with all the deposits around them. The seals and parts are methanol resistant not methanol proof. If the mixture runs through the pump on a regular bases it stops this from happening or slows the process at least.

They gave me a good price on a replacement because for warranty you need to ship at our own expense... because Canada... So I just bought a new one and I will take apart my old one to diagnose what went wrong. miako

Thanks man, my pump is still good, but this info is good just in case!

[pwdunmore]

No problem, I am definitely draining my pump next winter so this doesn't happening again.

or you can just hit boost in winter

I drive the same in winter and in summer lol

Obviously when there's snow on the ground (which is rare for Toronto) that's a different story

After chewing on this some more...I think this issue deserves its own thread for discussion. Maybe a general methanol injection discussion thread...this might even be something the Americans may rarely if ever experience.

I'll make a thread for "General information for Methanol Injection and use for cold climates" it once I get my new pump to install and take apart my old one. Hopefully it helps the up and comers.

There's quite a few things on MSF (ie. American) that I don't think quite apply with our climate up here. A few off the top of my head is boost tuned maps aka v231 stupidity, some of the fluids to use (in some ways I think the magic ford stuff isn't so magic in the cold), some of the noise/suspension related fixes, rust and resilience of parts in the salt, etc. It's an interesting topic.

You're right, we should make/have a "MS3's in Cold Climates: Characteristics, Issues and Solutions"

[J_Logik]

Hey all,

So I dropped the car off at Street Performance on Friday, for Jimmy to put in a few pieces for me, OCC, seals and camber arms, and when I got the car back, the climate controls were all funky and had many a button on. I put everything back to status quo, chalking it up to the battery being disconnected. But it now seems like the air circulation is very weak and the venting mode button isn't working with the same accuracy. Do any of you have any experience with this happening after a seal or OCC install?? I don't think either has direct relation to the climate and venting, but nothing else has been done in months.

This is no way a critique of Jimmy, his service is/was excellent as always, but even he's not sure?? Any help's appreciated!

[SomeGuy]

None of those things should be related to the systems you're having problems with

So as not to clutter your fs thread, if you want a valve that sounds close to stock, why don't you stick with the stock valve. What is your reasoning for switching?

because 1. buys speed3. 2. WUT GUDE BOV?

[optiklenz13]

I have stock BPV for sale.. Straight trade for HKS?

[Snotrocket]

Ill give him a forge and a stock BPV!

[mazda3t]

Well at first I didn't want to change out the stocker until I seen the opportunity to buy the HKS ssqv IV for almost a 100$ less. As soon as I put it on I noticed the difference. I won't say the car is faster but it definitely felt more aggressive and held boost way better. I had my brother in the car and he too noticed the difference. Now that I took it off I want another BPV that works just as good but won't have an annoying flutter. I like the sound of vta but I don't see the point in running it for sound when ill be losing power and potentially doing harm. So something that sounds like stock but a bit louder will do for me. Also I think my stock BPV is leaking or my electronic boost gauge is just off. Ill be doing a stage 2 pro tune too as soon as my pump from HPFPupgrade arrives.

And yes light mods which are Cobb Sri, sure TIH, forge bpv, sure race pipe, my Cobb ap to monitor and 88a duro to keep that shit to the ground. Not much I know but it will do for now. Please I know all of you guys have 400hp speeds, big turbos and all that good stuff. Hopefully I can get their but this is where I am for now.
