Maxx Mazda's 2011 Build Thread

[Maxx Mazda]

With all the starting I've been doing while trying to dial in the new IAC setup, I nuked my starter. New one going in today after work.

awesome tht you got it running. I should be right there with you pretty soon lol
just a question though, you have to use the stock valve keepers with the supertech setup? I just got all my parts in and noticed they didnt include any and just want to double check

 

[Maxx Mazda]

Put the new starter in and it's awesome. Fucken starts right up in like two revolutions now. Just need to dial in a few things in the next couple days, then lots of pics and vids will come.

Yes, you use the stock keepers with the supertech setup.

The finished product:

I've got most issues worked out now, a few remain. Oil pressure is awesome after switching to Shell Rotella 15W-40 for the remainder of the break in. Idle pressure is 25psi, up to 75psi by 4,000RPM. Mint. Had a small exhaust leak, just needed to loosen the pipe joint, wiggle it and re-tighten. I'm not happy with the idle, the IAC is almost a little too sensitive. What I may do is build another block to space it our farther from the throttle body, giving the stepper motor more room to move in there. The charging light is on. I have the stock ECU still connected for two purposes only. Regulating the alternator, and running my stock gauge cluster. Believe it or not, disconnecting the stock IAT probe will cause the charging light to come on. Why Mazda thought it was realavent to link those two systems together is beyond me, but since I actually de-pinned the ECU connector but for about 10 wires, it will be very easy to reconnect the IAT sensor. I will leave it hidden under the ECU cover in the floorboards, since it now serves no purpose other than for voltage regulation. I will post findings after, but right now voltage at idle is 13.51V with it disconnected.

Other than that, it's purring like a kitten!

Oh yeah, here's a quick video I shot. It was cut short at the end. I filmed it with my phone and recieved a call just as I was about to wrap things up. I'll make a detailed one later on, but this should keep you guys happy for now I hope!

Accent? Didnt think I had one, eh?

Haha great work. The meticulous work really paid off for you. I can't wait until your break-in period is over so you can really get on it a bit and shoot a couple nice videos for us. Do you track the car?

Maybe once in a blue moon I track it. It's mostly a street killer.

 

[fishdonotbounce]

Gotcha. Either way, great work. Your car is everything I wanted mine to be. I'm sure a lot of others on here agree with me.

 

[ogsp5]

How is the car running?

 

[Maxx Mazda]

Not bad. Think I finally got the idle dialed in. I just washed it maybe I'll snap some pics before I put it away for the next 4 days. (Supposed to rain non stop. )

 

[sderrickson]

modding. Youre doing it right.

 

[Maxx Mazda]

Washed the car and pulled it around front to snap some pics. Used my iPhone, but hope they satisfy the masses. Taken in front of the parent's new crib:

Is that an intercooler hiding in there?

So clean, me like
you ever thought of bigger piping for the intake? Or would that not make any difference?

 

[stkmp5]

Very nice. Cleanliness makes it so much better.
