scmp3's build thread:start to...it will never be finished

[SCMP3]

how much boost were you running? did you have the upgraded oilpump?

Stock boost and no stock pump

you just blew the headgasket again?

Yes sir I did

 

[mazdaspeedp]

so what do you think went wrong?

 

[SCMP3]

I think my temp switch may have went bad and my fans never kicked on. The fans definitely didn't come on. But worked when hard wires to the battery no problem. And the relay is fine.

[hornsfan10609]

What % tint? You got that thing back on the road fast! I have never seen a mount that destroyed. (i've done a full set of solid mounts on two different titanium MSPs).

 

[SCMP3]

its 33% over stock tint. and yes i got it on the road as fast as i could. and the mount had 228k miles on it.....

 

[SeR_Cyclops]

Is that a forged motor?

 

[SCMP3]

no i wish :'( hopefully next summer. thats what the 228k mile motor is being saved for.
