Well, ran into a snag with one of the oil cooler's. Was chasing a leak that wouldn't go away so I made another unit. This one doesn't leak.
Anyways should be starting this biatch up tonight.
Support tab for the sleek light lens cover. These suckers move at high speed, hence I added this little feature
Photo of pressure tester if your wondering how I tested the cores.
It runs! Got a small pin hole leak on the pump housing where I welded in different adapter, but runs! Sound mean with larger ports.

Not quite done, fixed the pin hole leak, it's amazing how cast aluminum finds way to spoil all your fun.
The car should be on the road today.

I want to first say the power feels like a lot more than the last setup. But on the dyno at Forged which I really appreciate that they were willing to let me rent their dyno after hours (4hours). Their dyno said I only make 340 rwhp and 265 ft-lbs at 15 psi. The torque band is broad though, over 200 fts from 3500 rpm all the way to redline.
Finishing up the last minute details. Will be picking up my tow rig this evening and having Fred (formerly Race Dezigns) finish the vinyl work on the car this evening. Just have to do the dash unit and get the tires rotated.

I just purchased a new wideband and sure enough I'm pig rich everywhere. ~10.9 afrs at 6 psi and up.

Did a video interview and car shot with Chris at Drivingsports.com on Skyline RD this last Sunday. Apparently they are in process of kicking off a Mazda specific webazine and my car will be the first featured car. Once I get a call that it's up I will post a link.
Nice build!
