look what Im doing this weekend!

[speed1016]

yep it should be here tomm. I cant wait. I messed up and didnt do my homework. And I ended up having to wait almost 6 months.

 

[speed1016]

sorry for the crappy pics. They are the ones that they sent to me.

 

[changedman]

sweet dude

 

[daedalus]

details? dud you go with stock compresssion and where did you get your block from?

 

[speed1016]

no not stock compression. I know I shouldnt have but I went through racingmazda. believe me it took forever! But they did pay for my storage fee and through in a walbro fuel pump for the long wait. the compression is 9.0:1

 

[Spooled]

Will the 0.1 difference in static compression really allow for much more boost? Or was it determined by your choice of dome shape? What are your goals with it (boost, hp, tq, redline, etc.)?

 

[speed1016]

Im wanting to be at 10 psi daily with around 215 whp and 215 torque reliable. Hopfully this block will be alot better than the stock.

 

[Spooled]

That's exactly what I'd like to have. Those are great numbers for street use. It's good that you kept the compression up a little so you have good low end power and quick spool. With that setup you don't have to woirry about getting a different turbo, either. The T25 will push that with no problem.

So when's it going in the car? Can't wait to see the results! BTW, what rods/slugs did you put in ?

 

[Familia323]

oohhh nice.

 

[KySpeed]

Nice wish i had the money to build a bock :-D

 

[speed1016]

well they used pauter rods which took forever for them to get. Im not sure what slugs are? It should be in this weekend if everything goes as planned. But nevertheless this weekend or next. I def post pics when I done.

 

[speed1016]

oh ya check out their website racingmazda.com I dont recommend them only because the time I had to wait. But the block is blue printed. Oh and the next block wont take nearly as long because they have everything ready to be built.

That looks hot, congrats man!

Goodluck with the install!

This reminds me, we need a FAQ on a motor removal and install.

How did you mess up?

 

[speed1016]

someone on the board also went through them for something and it took forever! I just wished I went to MAM first. But I didnt know that they sold short blocks. Cause its not on the site

 

[speed1016]

and about that how to or FAQ on engine removal Im not the guy believe me.

 

[Ljspeed]

Dude I know you dont see me as much around here but I could of told you RM takes a long ass time. I mean Ric knows his stuff but hes all Miata guy. If I would of known I could of checked on your block more frequently and tried to speed it up since I live in SA. OH and thinking back, last time I was at Racingmaza was about Octoberish since I sold him my Probe and I remember them talking about your block. Nothing bad but damn thinking about it, that was a long time ago. Sorry you had to wait that long but hopefully it will work out great for you. How much did that set you back if I may ask?

 

[speed1016]

Well it cost 2800.00 but I didnt have to pay for core charge or shipping. And yeah it did take along as* time to get here.

 

[Spooled]

well they used pauter rods which took forever for them to get. Im not sure what slugs are? It should be in this weekend if everything goes as planned. But nevertheless this weekend or next. I def post pics when I done.

Sorry, "slugs" are pistons.

 

[Spooled]

I went to their site and it says that the Stage 1 stock rebuild supports 300hp. How is that possible if they are using stock rods and pistons? Is there something I'm missing or is this just BS?
