motor build?

Average markup on parts in an independent shop yields a 58% gross profit margin on parts. Thats about a 2.35 multiplier for mark up. $40.00 x 2.35 = $92.00 for the pump. R&R time on the pump is 3.0 hours. At my shop, our labor rate is $94.89, so that would equal $284.67 in labor. Now factor in coolant somewhere in the $15-30 range. Add those up and you're right at $400.00

Ya i actually ended up getting a deal. My mechanic charged me for 350 for install plus a timing belt. I ended up buying a water pump and gasket from mazda. The mazda pump was 95 and aftermarket was 85 so i thought i may as well fork out the extra 10-15 for a real oem pump that wont s*** the bed.

Are you going to run an EGR or just cap it?

Prob gonna run it for now and cap it in the future once i figure out about how my car is running.

 

[mazdaspeedp]

he has the egr hooked up on the 505 side i can see the silver flex line coming out underneath the manifold

Are you running egr with ur build? I know spiced msp was saying his keeps popping off on the intake side.

Bump just got my steering wheel and works bell hub in. More work has been done. All my turbo oil lines are all lined up now and ready to clamp together. Just need to pay the mechanic to get all the sensors hooked up. The last dumbass mechanic that worked on the car decided not to label anything so now this guy has to go through the last guys lazy ass work and figure it all out. More pictures soon. Hope I can get this running asap.

It's nice because it doesn't block any rearward visibility. Also is a nice place have to your lunch.

 

[Spiced MSP]

I have a feeling he may be talking about the spoiler that goes over the rear window. I could be wrong though

Well i was actually just thinkin about the rear one. But this is giving me ideas now lol. i wonder if I could find a cheap used set somewere because I know if i go to subaru they will **** me on the price. This is just my future plan still focusing on getting the car running and tuned but in the future i think this would be a sweet mod. I still love the stock msp spoiler but this one is 10x cooler lol.

sexy subaru lol

There's a bunch in my build thread. Is it a bolt on kit or do you need stuff welded up? I've got a mig that can do steel an aluminum if you need.

Well its an ebay kit. It kindof fit with the t25 but with this new turbo its not sitting the same.

Up to you. Ive got **** all to do lately so if you wanna bring it by I could install it for you and fab up any pipes that need to be done.

That would be sick. The problem is I owe Zr money so I have to pay down the bill before I can even get the car back. I think there closed tell the new year.
