Whats up strangers?
morel mushrooms at Boch Hollow SNP... that's what's up.
I don't really go mushroom hunting, but there was quite a few out there today. Shawnee State forest and Mohican are good places to look for those from what i hear. Go'na be in the 60's for a couple days this week, nice weather for mushroom hunting or hiking.
mazda related- once i pick up a new set of tires/wheels my car'll be all set to drive out to Colorado, assuming i can motivate myself to go first.

Ya sure did. Motor is built and swapped in a 6-speed from a speed. Found the limits of the stock ecu with dynotronics/aem fic piggy back. anything above 14 psi car no like. but it did make 340 torques. This past fall I was at SEMA for work and meet up with the guys at AEM. They were cool and hooked me up with their racer program. I got a hold of their new Infinity Stand-Alone and am currently working with them to sort out development stuff. Things like DBW, VVT, etc for the mzr. Have ran into a lot of issues with the mazda cam and crank pattern and using VVT. The crank trigger is a 36-2-2-2 and the cam has 6 teeth. The problem is when the cam would move, either advance or retard, and one of the teeth on the cam would pass by a missing tooth on the crank trigger. This would freak out the infinity, and lose sync. So after a bit of time/$ being spent on this, the options were to continue devloping, eliminate the VVT, and use a exhaust cam gear on the intake and delete the cam phaser, or change the pattern on the cam/crank. VVT is worth a good bit of torque down low and into the mid-range. Being that the car will live mostly on the track, i want all the grunt i can get coming out of a corner. this also helps the turbo spool faster. So i just pulled the top of the motor back apart and removed the cam and crank pulley/trigger wheel. I am having 5 of the teeth removed from the Cosworth cam, so it will just have one trigger. The crank trigger wheel is being replaced with one i found from the uk and then modifying. The MZR crank trigger wheel O.D. is 6.5". The replacement is a 36-1, but i need 36-2. So the machine shop is laser cutting of one more tooth. Once back in place, it is a matter of selecting this cam/crank pattern from a drop down menu, and that issue should be solved......
The folks over at AEM have VVT strategies for this combo, with lots of RD behind it thanks to the a Toyota/Scion drift car and Tuner Mitch Pederson. This way i won't be starting from scratch. The car its self has been gutted, no dash, no interior, etc. Supperlagera! Once the infinity is up and going it will be time to cage it and finish body work. In my spare time i have been attending training from AEM and am on my way to being an authorized advanced tuner. I like to do things myself.... lol. The family is doing Good, thanks for asking! They come first, then the car of course. So sometimes it takes awhile to get things done, but they are getting there. If anyone needs any stock 3 parts let me know, i have an attic full. lots of inside plastics, rear seat, cargo cover/liner, head liner, cd player, etc. They need to go to a good home!princess peach

Good god man, hope all the effort is worth it in the end

damn! thats crazy! congrats on getting in the racer program and good luck with the continued work on any/all bugs getting the Infinity to work with the mzr, and i can only imagine the finnicky-ness of the VVT, just the month of so of research i did is kind of what killed my hopes of doing an all out N/A build at that time (ITB, high compression forged pistons etc etc... i saw how much of a pain the cams/vvt were going to be and just kinda put it off to the back burner, now that im buying a house and the car will be paid off within the year, it might get brought back to life to start stripping it out and doing the N/A build fall of 2014 or so haha)
what for body work do you need to finish?
congrats and continued good luck on becoming an authorized advanced tuner! thats pretty awesome!
also good to hear the Family is going well. also i would build a garage bench out of the rear seat, im sure something could be fabbed up haha
if i see anyone asking for interior parts, ill try to send them your way
hopefully when the car gets finished, i can make it out that way sometime to see the car on track and catch up with ya... if ya ever need a "pit crew" let me know haha (dont have nearly the knowledge on the 3 that you do, nor would i ever claim that, but i do know this car/platform relatively well haha)
