you'll have to be mighty careful with boost at the atx transmission...my first recommendation is to service the fluid and filter and add an external trans cooler (bigger the better).

If you beat on it and take advantage of Mazdas "hold" system, it should last quite a bit, I've managed to make my atx 626 a little more enjoyable...

also what are you going to do for an ecu? source out an atx GTX ecu? You'll need an atx ecu to control your trans.

JACK.

moar info please that i need to know :D this project is going to be for WHILE i got bunch of time doing it but no monies

[bp_turbo'd]

soon as i could i m going to put fuel tank back in but i dont think i have strap for it but oh well if anyone has them for cheap id like to buy if u also have f/p too and negro rig the suspension with my old coilovers to get it rolled home

[smoke187]

5psi should be safe for an auto even keeping the exhaust and downpipe stock and running a stock gtx setup would be good

[bp_turbo'd]

u mean automatic, gtx ecu, rx7, vaf rx7 injectors, 14b turbo off a DSM, megasquirt and run 7 psi????? on highway

EDIT:and stock exhaust??????

[bp_turbo'd]

i did the front coilovers so they can be rolled home (but not yet) still have to put rear back together (thats for tomorrow) today i also bolted the motor back on frame i forgot i threw the damn crossmember i guess thats all for today i m goin to put the rear coilovers back together tomorrow and clean the fuel tank to see if it would be clean enuf

[drewhall07]

Rx7 460cc injectors would be good, but u could also use the gtx injectors, which r 330cc i believe, which would be good for u. and also u would need an rx7 vaf for better airflow, or could also use the gtx vaf if u can find one. a walboro 255 lph fuel pump will be ur best bet on that. and u should be able to use a stock fuel rail, since u wont be usuing much boost.

[bp_turbo'd]

i have to get fuelrail anyway i dunno if i still have one

[drewhall07]

i have a gtx fuelrail u could use. i got it for my mx3 but im putting everything into the escort so i wont need it anymore.

your not goin to use a gtx ecu on auto wiring unless it has the 2 plug ecu harness with separate trans controls...

[bp_turbo'd]

do i have to modify the injectors to fit? are the plugs on vaf exactly the same? do i have use same ecu as the vaf? if i get a gtx vaf, i have to get gtx ecu?

[bp_turbo'd]

gtx are automatic and gtr is 5 speed correct?

[yunvmyegt]

um no... lol .... keep reading.... thats funny tho...

[drewhall07]

do i have to modify the injectors to fit? are the plugs on vaf exactly the same? do i have use same ecu as the vaf? if i get a gtx vaf, i have to get gtx ecu?

gtx injectors r PNP, and the VAF should be also, even the rx7 vaf is PNP. and u dnt have to have the gtx ecu for the VAF, u just have to tune the VAF so it will run right
