bushings were worn. too much shaft play. well if you were running the 2 bar you should be fine at 15psi, 1 bar is 14.7psi.

also to add to my list of things i need to fix: i think my lash adjusters are going. terrible valve train noise when car warm, maybe not getting oil. and car has hard time running when noise is happening. no low oil pressure lights or anything so not blaming oil pump yet

You could be right actually, I think 1 bar lol if it's 14.7. Cause thats where probs begin, fing rips at 14 psi, but if I go over fuel trims wack out and got engine power reduced twice. But this only happened two nights when it was like 30 degrees out. Anyway 3 bar is going in and we'll see what happens

stock Map will only read about 2.7 psi.


Had one of the best races I've had in a long time with a MazdaSpeed 6.Full bolt ons and tune with a 2 step. 1st run was from ~20 roll,in which he gained like 5 inches on me and then we stuck dead even until ~80.Guy was impressed how well my car did against his.Last 2 races were digs,in which he used the 2 step but gave me the hit off the light.both digs had the same outcome with him putting about a car on me but sticking dead even after I grabbed traction.Last race we took it to ~115.I layed into 4th for a while lol.I didn't even know they were AWD until the 1st dig race lol.Dude was super cool though.He said,'**** man that thing is fast,the whine sounds fkn crazy"

Pretty vague! Hahaa. Well I love the Volk TE37 look, and the WORKS Cr-Kai. In their respective bronze, they look amazing. I know varrstoen, rota and enkei make a similar shape to those wheels.

I'm curious to know, what turbos are you boosted 2.2's running, and how much did your total build set you back $$$?

Let me know of the ''crazy deals'' you all got because I now work in a performance shop and can get all my parts at cost price (typically around 40% of msrp).

The MAP sensor I got with the SC kit I bought is for a 2.4 and doesn't fit. Can I modify it somehow or is there a different sensor you guys are running that plugs in?
