yip will do ,cant wait for the next meet ,as the last one was so mean

awesome man. good to see you got it running.

yea it is sooo good to hear it start

[michael0008]

ok took it around the block

so many things when wrong
i think i need a new afm as its not able to go over 1900rpm and it just pulse you back and forwards till you stop accelerating and the rpm doesn't stay at one point at idle
or do you think ive connected a vac line up wrong too?


also took the cap off and it was milky

so many have a blown head gasket too or just a crap load of moisture from being sitting?
....
...
..

[Mazda_Powered]

oh no!

the milkcould be a few things, could be the oil cooler leaking...which would be nice

also the 1900rpm cut could be from a coolant temp sensor. do you know what your timing is at as well? fuel pump in good shape?

[michael0008]

ok soooooo after ages i ended up taking the afm off to see if it cuts out with it out

turns out that it could idle with no afm WTF (so it was running in limp home mod) thats why it was running mega rish

so after more time it turns out inside the plug that connects to the afm a wire under the rubber seal was broken so soldered that on and brrrrrrrm brrrrm pessssss

yea goes mean after timing it , smoke is gone now,and the headgasket is ok now the white **** has stop showing up


zip tide temporarily fix hehe......going to put better bumper on later











hmm....




black around the top has been cleaned up as it was faded and car has been cleaned



looks weird with no exhaust poking out


hmm might put the facelift bumper back on
but don't really like having the intercooler showing





still got to fix the grill and i am going to put the 3 mesh stuff behind the grill

also got to fix bonnet latch as its not closing right

also got autometer cap, to stop my gauge from flying around

----------------------------------------------

the 3 mesh just didn't look right


any way so more pictures and a video is that belt noise normal or is it the alternator bearing?

really need to get a new bar piece as thats crap




also the plug on the head light loom that has the rpm wire to gauge ect whats the big blue wire do

also cant work out how to get temp?

[michael0008]

got some 22v calipers for the vr4 rotor upgrade

hopfully it should stop better then it does now





any upgrade for back brakes?


also might get rid of the vj20 and put a ct26 turbo on

[Scott@USRT]

Use NA6 Miata rear calipers on custom brackets with Galant rear rotors. That way the bigger fronts won't unbalance the overall ratio. Install a bigger master cylinder to keep the pedal from sinking to the floor. You'll have a seriously effective package.

[michael0008]

after stuff thats a bolt on job

so are the mx5 calipers the same mounting hole space

No, they're not. That's why you need to run custom carriers. There was a group buy on them earlier this year. Do a search and you'll find it. Maybe there are some left.

[michael0008]

update: took apart the old b6d engine for the rods for the bpt
and made a mess to haha




and also got a gtr link ecu ,so bye bye afm

[michael0008]

update decide to go kfze
should be a close fit

bpt wasn't my thing and my headgasket went on it too




5 stud and better brakes

[michael0008]

the only way to get the engine in








test fit




















it fits just in some spots

next up working out the mounts and if i can use any of the bf ones

[Scott@USRT]

Nice engine choice. I love the idea of a 6cyl BF. But, which transmission are you using? Can the "K" motor attach to the BF AWD tranny, for instance?

[shorestiva]

Not without a adapter plate.

[Scott@USRT]

Not without a adapter plate.

But, with an adapter plate it specifically will work? Also, what's the weight increase over a B6T or BPT?

[DeeAOne]

you got it! Nice. Yeah I meant to tell you that you kinda have to do some pivoting to get it to drop in from the top. Lol. You probably had even more trouble with your car since its rhd.
