I need to replace acouple pittle caps but otherwise they look great, and I already test fitted them and they fit perfect in the stock rail



And a comparison pic between the 850's and stock injectors

I want to see that manifold when finished! Great work so far.

^Quick is definately the goal lol

Here's todays progress, i got my bolts in for the ring gear and i installed them with red loc-tite and i added 4 small welds to help hold the ring gear in place, and as stated earlier the bolts did hit first gear so i had to grind them down a little bit so they would clear


Before any grinding was done and you can see the 4 welds i did in this pic

I knew this site would be more usefull then all the other Mazda sites, i'm gonna be doing exactly this soon as I got a MSP LSD with separated ring gear on the way. Which bolts did you end up using?

[Damkid]

^^I just ended up using regular grade 8 bolts, so far they have been holding up fine


Picked up my Jeep friday night and got it safetied on saturday (my friend did the safety so of course it passed lol) it still needs a hitch but thats minor details

[Damkid]

Lol thanks, but i won't be abusing the jeep like i did the aspire, if i abuse the jeep the gas gauge and my wallet will suffer for it lol

I've been practicing welding aluminum on scrap parts here and there and I've finally figured it out and I'm very happy with how it looks so far, so i've started welding my intake, instead of waiting forever for my boss to weld it and I'm hoping to have the intake finished by tomorrow afternoon, as always pictures will follow

oh sick dude, if you have the feel of it, then i say go for it! just make sure to bolt that sucker down so it doesn't warp on ya

In for pictures!

[Damkid]

I forgot a hole saw so I couldn't drill out the holes for the bottom of the chamber, so I at least welded the lower runners to the flanges



I purposely made the welds fairly thick because when I squared up the runners, they didn't perfectly match



So using this handy belt sander I smoothed out the runners
