What did you do to your ride today

going through tuning process with @Jason@DizzyTuning , running lean during WOT log, intake leak suspected, got a bunch of new hose clamps at home depot, tried to find the leak with no luck, need to do a proper inspection this week. Also cleaned the shit out of my MAF sensor for good measure.

 

If you create a thread, post some logs, and an extended explanation, we can help diagnose. Ever had this issue on previous maps, or was it on the very first run of a new revision and ever since?

 

okay, and I am a noob to taking datalogs. I've only had my speed for about 4 months so these were my first datalogs I've taken. thread can be found here http://mazdaspeeds.org/index.php?threads/lean-during-wot.3015/
any help is appreciated.

 

Today I cleaned my valves, changed spark plugs, did the full egr delete, thermal insulating gaskets on intake and throttle body, throttle body coolant bypass and upgraded my fuel pump.

Did some suspension work on my other ride. New rubber for the Speed likely tomorrow.

 

about 2 weeks ago I changed my injector seals to the c.s ones, re cleaned my valves after only 7k yet they seem to have been getting pretty dirty in that time, installed a vta occ, painted intake mani a stock aluminum color to freshens it up. put it all back together and had no leaks and off I was to making 400hp!

 

Replaced passenger side strut bearings and same side sway end link.

 

I think I am due for the same, that and lower control arms and tie rods

 

Which bearings are you referring to? There aren't any bearings for the front struts other than those internal to the struts themselves.

 

Rock Auto uses the same terminology too, but I'm not exactly sure what part of the mount they're referring to:

 

The bearings in the top hat. I ordered Nitto 555 G2s today. Took advantage of the $75 rebate this weekend at Discount Tire.

 

The newer design bearing from the Focus/Escape/Courier? If memory serves they were better and can had cheaper than Mazda's offering.

 

Top hat replaced which contain the strut bearings.

 

Replaced a bad radiator temp sensor, air filter and cabin filter on my sweet ass Chevy Sonic.

Speedwise, picked up a free oem downpipe, second cat back oem exhaust, oem mid brace from a local who sold his speed3. He threw in a Dashawk and fender roller as well. Of which I was able to clear the cel on the Sonic.

Are they direct-fit, or is modification required? I tried Moog strut mounts when I did my suspension (Swifts/Koni Yellows/Bistein B8s) and originally used the Moog strut mounts. They failed very quickly and were making all sorts of noises in short order. Went to onlinmazdaparts.com and ordered OEM ones to replace and haven't had a problem since. But, hey, I'm always interested in better options.

 

Just ordered my Ultimate Racing resonated test pipe from Edge. Have to order a touch up tune now. Damn car is getting expensive.

 

They are factory Ford parts. @Stockms3; did a good write up at the other place, there was a decent length thread about them.

Part numbers:
bearings: DV6Z-18198-C (made in Germany)
top hats: CV6Z-18183-A (made in Italy)

BTW, what's the story behind the Koni Sports and B8's? I ask because I'll be replacing my struts by year end and have been leaning towards Koni Sports along with a new camber plate I found for next season's autocross.

 

I've had Koni's on a few different cars and Bilsteins on my last Mazda. I'll be going with Bilsteins when it comes time for my suspension upgrade. I don't have any scientific reasoning, but I preferred the ride on the Bilsteins.

 

Copy. I didn't know if you had a specific reason for mixing them up like Konis up front and B8's in back because adjusting Koni rears look like a PITA. I'm on the fence between the Sports and B8's and have zero desire for coil overs. I don't plan to keep the car forever and I don't want to spend the coin to make it super competitive in STX.
