What have you done to your Rotary Mazda Today?

[Antoine]

Cryo...How much power are you planning on putting down and how much does the cyro process run these days?

 

[amp]

not sure antoine... doin it more for longevity than anythin else...
lookin to put down a conservative rwhp.. on pump.. moderate boost.. mild street port and single..

 

[Antoine]

Interesting...Got some more questions for ya

What's involved exactly with a "mild street port" on a rotary? What's the procedure?

Does it reduce engine longevity/durability at all (I know that bridge & peripheral porting does quite a bit)..?

Thanks in advance!

 

[amp]

some refer to it as smoothing out the ports... nothing too excessive
but for me... i tend to do a slight enlargement than the typical..
might get anywhere from peak five to ten percent increase without sacrificing daily drivibality..
no noticable change in idle either.. ill post some pics when im done as an example.. worth a thousand words so they say..

 

[Antoine]

Good to know...Thanks for the details...I'm definitely looking forward to (pics)

Just finished pricing out the seat bracket for my corbeau and going to order my window regulator, motor, and door switches this weekend

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

they still only make the drivers side bracket? passanger still has to be custom made correct?

That's a good question. I only priced out the drivers side bracket cause I only have the one seat. When I order the bracket I will check with them

 

[Shadow102]

Just checked their bracket listing and they list it for both sides. It isd however the same part number just has either L or R at the end of it

Got a leather wrapped gxl ebrake handle today to replace the crappy plastic one in the car. Also going to try and tackle removing the dyna mat and junk stereo wiring throughout the car.

 

[lil_red_wagon]

i just stripped the stereo equipment out of my t2. working on getting the rest of the wiring out and fiberglassing the upper console over. going no stereo in mine.

 

[Shadow102]

well didnt get to the dynamat today but i did swap the ebrake handle, seafoam the car (my neighbor probably hates me), figured out that i dont need to buy a corbeau seat bracket i can make my own and lastly i fabricated my own intake for under $40 (under $30 with the mail in rebate) i'll be posting a how to later on about that one.

EDIT: also figured out my intermitant CEL looks like its the presure sensor
