finished painting the bay, too dark to take pictures. also picked up a motor today and swaped most of the parts over. should have it running by tomorrow. also decided to get rid of the AC i never use, and bypass the power steering so there is WAYYYYYYY less crap in the bay.. this is probably the first car i have ever left the power steering in, so i know what im getting into. cant wait to get this b**** running!

Nice. What color did you paint it? Bye bye to the spicy completely now huh? :'(

 

[719prottege]

Purpleish pinkish lol. Hopefully I have some pics up later today when the motor is in and the valve cover is painted

i really never noticed your engine bay was still orange... hahaha totally halloweened up

 

[719prottege]

motor is in and running. havent cleaned it or painted the valve cover so no pics yet. for some reason the passenger side axle wont go in??? there is no clips or anything for it, i dont understand... anyone ever have this problem???? also, my friend put my intercooler pipes back on and didnt clean them out, and powersteering fluid and other crap was in the pipes :/ so after the intercooler was hooked up and tried to start it it quickly died and ran like s***. ill take them all off and clean them tomorrow morning, hopefully no permanent damage, like the maf or something...

i have another maf if you need one. for the axle, is the half shaft not going in the trans, or is the axle not sliding onto the half shaft? what sometime helps is if you bolt down the axle nut and turn the steering wheel all the way one way and back the other way and sometimes its helps press the axles in.

 

[719prottege]

yea the half shaft isnt going into the trans, never took the axle apart from the halfshaft. heres the best explanation i could find. http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/show...le-problem-help-please!&p=5718523#post5718523

changed the trans today, put it all back together. RUNNING AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the clutch is slipping a ton, waiting in the mail for a new one.

 

[bullshark524]

congrats on getting it running again. though it sucks you will have take the trans back off for the new clutch

 

[SCMP3]

Atleast when he pulls it this time he can put the LSD from the other trans he picked/is picking up in

 

[719prottege]

yea it kind of sucks i just didnt have the time or money. i ordered a new clutch today, so ill get it in this week i think.... heres what my bay looks like now...

 

[Sleezer1533]

Did you paint that with the engine out or what?

 

[719prottege]

yes sir

 

[Sleezer1533]

I want my engine bay gold but have no reason or desire to pull the engine

 

[719prottege]

that seems like a good reason. just do it. takes like 2 hours.

 

[719prottege]

picked up an msp trans with blown 1st and reverse supposedly, but the lsd is good. i will be ripping it apart and putting the lsd in my msp trans so when i get my clutch i can do it all at once!

 

[719prottege]

looks like i wil be getting tuned on the 11th.....E85????

 

[justanothermp5]

you need much bigger injectors and at least a walbro pump to tune with E85....just a heads up

 

[719prottege]

Those and an adjust adjustable fpr got it covered thanks bro. My buddy is a master tech at honda and has tuned multiple 400+whp daily drivers on e85

 

[719prottege]

picked up my injectors. ordered my fpr and pump today
