Mazda, Protege 5, VIVID yellow
and it pulls like a mother ******. i'm in love (rockon)


problem is when i got back home from making sure everything was okay, i noticed 20psi oil pressure, and a ton of white smoke under the hood.
looks like oil is spraying everywhere from the oil return and oil send, and where i tapped into the block for the oil.

=(

i'm taking a break and letting the car cool off until i can go back and re tighten everything again. (encourage

it sounds like a mack truck spooling up because i haven't welded up the downpipe yet
 
i gave up! i can't seam to get to the leak i went back and tightened up the oil pan as much as i could, tightened up the feed line on both sides, and the return line on both sides and i'm leaking as much as i was before.

i'm going to take it to the shop and see what they could do for her =(
maybe i could get a combo package for welding the exhaust and getting new tires
 
update!
everything is awesome besides my wee bit of fuel management issues and an exhuast manifold leak, but come next paycheck i should be running 110% i'm so excited about this kit, even at 5psi there's a HUGE difference. i can't see why you would want/need more.

Give it a week. Then you will kick it up to 8psi, then that gets boring, etc. Believe me, I've been there done that.

he's right, it's like crack...addicting man!!

You know, I have been running 8psi on mt BP for almost a year. The first 7 months were with piggybacks and it sucked. Now that I have the GTX ECU it is so much more reliable and much faster. I still do not have the want to up the psi, but then again, my VJ-20 is only good for 14psi.
 
Thats pretty sweet Dude, Congrats on the kit, and I hope you knock out all the kinks (Pressure BS)

I also hope you get a Chance to get her on a Dyno to show what your putting down.
 
Have we found the issue yet? BTW, congrats!! I have version one of the Mental Addiction Street Sleeper kit ready to install soon. From what I have witnessed and seen with this kit, I can't wait!!

how do you like the haltech so far, alex?
still haven't been able to do anything at all with it.
i can't crack the password, and it won't even let me upload a map on there without the password. it's weird as hell.

i have to fix my header leak problem first because it's giving me terrible AFRs. the oil leak is pretty minimal, i'm still getting a leak from the weld because the welder is a complete retard apparently, you have to be if you can't fix a weld after your third try.

other than that, a new clutch is 100% necessary because as soon as i get into the boost it just dies and my rpms sky rocket with nothing going to the ground, it's incredibly amazing and sucky at the same time.

anyway you can hook it up with a cheap price on one ken? eh' eh'?
