oh yeah, my bad.

Damn!!! thats alot for a radiator.... Gonna look for a cheaper custom one, or are you going to go with one from a different car?

I think I'll go with one of the ones Summit sells. They are only about $170.

What exactly are you going to be doing to the bottom end?

Make love to it. lol j/k

Im thinking about sending it off to have the block cleaned/dipped and all the bearing clearances checked as well as getting the bottom end balanced etc...I also want to get the rods shotpeened. Something to that effect.

Pressure sensor for the E-Manage finally came in today.

[Marc93lx]

if you're doing a tear down, make sure you get a new OEM oil pump, oil pickup tube, and definately OEM head gasket!

Yeah, I had planned on it. Im going with all new OEM parts as far as gaskets, belts, and water/oil pump is concerned. Oil filter will be aftermarket - Mobil1.

Marc, does the block look to have considerable wear/grime on it so that it requires all that work ... or are you just doing it as a safe measure?

Just as a safe measure kinda thing as I know nothing about the history of this motor. Im actually considering having the block bored out +1mm so I can use the Weisco forged pistons. Assuming I can muster up the $540 heh.

[D323]

Why did mazda build the BP with forged parts, and then not forge the pistons?

[Marc93lx]

Some goodies came in today!

ACT Clutch:





And the Greddy Profec E-01 Boost Controller/ E-Manage Programmer:





Wow the screen was way smaller than I expected. Here is a shot with a Bic lighter for comparison:




Ahhhh ****, instructions are in Japanese! lol

[D323]

very nice.....

damn that screen is way smaller that expected.....

Get dave to read that for you... hes probably stared at enough japanese symbols on online auctions to read the stuff by now.

[JordyB]

Just a word from the wise, the clutch will wear out pretty quickly on anything past 200hp with extended use and racing.
