tekkies car build

[tekkie]

yeah that coolant tank is not sticking around, I forgot to order another one but I should have it next week

 

[blackdragon11]

right on, looks awesome! cant wait for a vid!

 

[TheMAN]

well just got back from my voyage run

that fkn oil block adapter still leaks after 2 adjustments, dammit there goes 10 quarts of oil now I need to go get more and do it yet AGAIN dooh

anyway its running excellent, I did not womp on it very hard since its a brand new clutch but its sooooooooooooooooo tempting lol

believe it or not with all 4 awr mounts it shakes less than the car does with just the rear, thats a good thing I love it

the odo was at 64,470 KM before I took it out

some quick pics, I still need to tidy up some wires and stuff still though

tomorrow I will go get the 3" midpipe made and then its time for a long roadtrip lol

is it me or is the VICS solenoid not hooked up?

 

[tekkie]

Edwin I looked in the service manual and VICS is the white connector, you cant tell from that pic but its actually hooked up, the problem is that the wiring harness does not reach over to the side of the manifold so its just laying there underneath the vtcs connector right now

actually if you look just over the vtcs connector you can see the orange hose going to the vics sensor there

I have to extend the wire about 8" I think to mount it back up

thanks for looking out for me I dont mind you pointing out problems

 

[TheBryGuy]

That is a pretty engine. End of this month I'll be up and I'll be wanting to see that.

 

[tekkie]

well got the car back finally, god it took those guys forever I dropped it off at 10:30 this morning

anyway its done and it sounds much better now

here is the difference, first the one with open 3" downpipe

and now with the 3" catback with a magnaflow high flow cat

big difference, the good news, the 3" cutout can make it sound like the first video at any time

 

[vindication]

holy crap, that thing sounded like a beast with an open downpipe. Time to get an electric cutout (evil). Surprise the living ish out of people(glare)

 

[tunersteve]

Very nicely done, props for not letting the sound get out of control. I think it will help to hide the fact that you'll be able to **** most people around here.

yeah I need to wire mine up tomorrow so I can start using it

 

[tunersteve]

My buddy has the electric cutouts on his 89 IROC, those are nice as hell. Get some punk next to ya that you wanna scare the living hell out of, just push a button and watch the fun begin.

BTW, I might have to venture out your way to see this demon seed in person.

for sure man, give me a chance to break in the motor and get the AEM installed and then I will take ya for a ride

 

[Jeph]

MMMM sounds good. Mine sounds just like yours, but i don't have the cat. Same exhaust, no cat, weird.

[khaosman]

Edwin I looked in the service manual and VICS is the white connector, you cant tell from that pic but its actually hooked up, the problem is that the wiring harness does not reach over to the side of the manifold so its just laying there underneath the vtcs connector right now

thanks for looking out for me I dont mind you pointing out problems

like I said before, you have to extend the wires to make the VICS solenoid hook up

cool... the classic FS-ZE scream is still there
congratulations, you're now the 2nd person I know that has an FS-ZET

yeah, I'll probably be the 3rd person, but that's a while from now... I got the manifold and s-pipe but NO money for all the other s***

 

[tekkie]

yup just have not gotten to that yet is it even worth hooking the vtcs one? I guess with the aem I aint gonna need it anyway

 

[tekkie]

are you going to mazdasummerpalooza?

nope I was planning on coming but I have some family coming on the 22nd and that was the only week they could get off

who is the other? dammit I wanted to be the only one (pissed) lmao

 

[jmv]

so is the only difference between the FS-DE and FS-ZE the intake mani?? I thought there was different compression and cams or something as well.
