What did you do to your BG(part 8)

[Mazda_Powered]

did a compression test today because I've blown yet another radiator....170, 155, 150, 170 on a cold engine....so they're good numbers.

Any other ideas? I'm going to get another radiator cap, but I don't have another rad to swap in right now :/

Both radiators have let go by the upper coolant hose, inbetween the pinch seal and the top tank...

[Mazda_Powered]

WOAH! Liking the new CP layout Ryan!

changed the oil and put a new rear wheel bearing in it so I can drive it again.

it's definitely a bad sign if you can hear the wheel bearing over all the noise the car makes at WOT...

[Chad]

haha damn and im guessing the car is pretty loud at WOT with your holset hah. you still at 2.5bar?

[atomicEGT]

Chad- 1.8, the crack in the manifold won't let me make any more than that

Cody- daaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmnn

[Chad]

Skuce mani right?
Cody- Escort looks great!

[wgnths]

got it thanks for the clarification... lol im all over the place.

Atomic, any videos of the wagon lately?

[atomicEGT]

Yeah, ****in thing makes me angry. Then again, it does 4th gear burnouts at 1.8 so whatever I guess.

Pretty sure there are no videos of the wagon driving anywhere at this point. I'll get to it sooner or later.

I cant imagine... When messing with a homemade mbc I spiked 20psi in 2nd on my vf10 and my butthole puckered.
I dont know how it went that high, every other time it cuts at 12psi.... stupid gtx ecu.

[wgnths]

that 5dr looks really good man.
that wagons gotta be ridic at 1.8bar mines sees 1.5bar but thats is lol 4th gear burnouts??? geez.

I mean to wash mine after a long time but got really lazy towards the end of the day. I did find a melted fuse for the foglights, its wierd cuz im using everything that came with the kit so not sure why it did that. I just relocated it to allow it to get air flow.

[wgnths]

...oh and Atomic as soon as you get videos up ill do one too to entertain all those wagon lovers out there

[atomicEGT]

GTR ecu is the way to go. No boost cut, ignition cut limiter, starts and idles without giving me any static... I love it.

The HY is really borderline too big for a BP, at lower RPM when the turbo is starting to spool you can hear it surging pretty badly.

I'll see if I can pick up an iPhone mount this weekend and get some video, I'm too lazy to deal with my gopro and its ****ty sound quality.

what VAF are you using? I've tried a few different vaf's and found that the B code works the best. I've got an unopened Bcode and 460's and afr's are very safe. It doesn't cut at all with the B code, or not that I've seen over the couple weeks I've had it on the car. I found the Y code was the worst for boost cut and the U code was better than the Y code but still some cutting.

[Mazda_Powered]

yep U code is tiny with a sloppy loose spring tension for the enrichment door. Flows 30% less than the larger bodied ones lol.
