To me it’s sounding like “spark blow out” very common on the platform. I had it many times and the real solution is to just install new spark plugs. Try gap around 0.60-0.62mm. I ran it around 0.61mm(0.024) and that was the secret setup for me. I changed plugs around every 7000-10000km because they would wear out quickly and spark blow out would return. This is very common on this platform. One other thing you can try just as maintenance is to clean the MAF sensor with MAF cleaner spray

@@BuildinProgress thank you, buddy 😊

Something not so common. I can’t really say unfortunately

Haha yea just working on getting the car ready for this season!

@@BuildinProgress Same, plus have to relearn everything.

You can tap the hole for the balance shaft and plug it with a bolt. This is the common budget way to do it.

​@@BuildinProgress yes, but I am interested in getting the drawing of the metal plate that screws to the crankcase, if you run the risk of losing all the oil pressure when cornering hard, then I would like to know how to get it.

@@10borja2youre talking about the oil pan baffle. Some people make their own. I got my setup for a good deal locally someone was selling. Even buying new, its worth it. much cheaper then replacing an engine

@@BuildinProgress if the problem is that I am from spain and all the ones that are sold are expensive and on top of that you have to add shipping costs and customs... that is why I am looking for someone to share the design of his oil pan baffle.

@@10borja2i understand. im in Canada, we pay huge shipping/duties/exchange rate. Hopefully you can find the drawing for the baffle

my grill came with the mesh, not sure where you could get it on its own. Ebay probably the best bet. The block off plates i made myself. You cant buy those unfortunately

It was brand new and I put low mileage on it. Very surprising failure. It was solid after the repair though. Can’t say much else don’t have the car anymore. Maybe alot of track usage took it out. I’m not sure

hey man thanks! Car will be back out for 2024 for sure. I havent updated my 8th gen forum thread very much in the past little while

I have few good videos covering every mod and everything for my car. Engine and chassis. Just go through my channel and you will find it!

Hey there. Here is the part number for the exact kit I ran: 48121262. This is the PSS9. The PSS10 isn’t, or at least wasn’t an option for this car back when I did this upgrade. There is bilstein b8, b12, b14 and b16 options for these cars. B16 is the most track focused while the others are more street focused with softer spring rates and no dampening adjustment. You need to be careful looking online as some websites just use a stock photo which won’t show the helper spring. The b16 uses a helper spring up front. No downsides to it. I found these coilovers were very nice on the street. Amazing motion control and body roll control. Amazing high speed and low speed dampening. The adjusters do mainly affect rebound. This is common on 1 way coilover setups. You can use this to help tune the handling balance of the car. As you increase rebound compression will increase as well but it is not 1:1. Compression will only increase slightly I’ve ran a few different coilover setups now and if I could have it my way I would probably run bilstein on everything(not available for my current car). The dampening is truly something special on those bilsteins. I hope this helps!

@@BuildinProgress Thank you very much for comprehensive information 🤝 now I run BC Racing BR Series, but makes clunking noise right from the instalation and l will send them back as soon as I get new set - most probably B16s. I don't want BCs anymore. Good luck and thanks again. Wishing all the best 🍀💗

@@tomastoth5026 bilstein is on another level compared to BC. You’ll enjoy the b16s

There are 2 different rotors that fit this setup. I got mine locally ordered in by a shop. They were out of stock for a long time then came back in stock. I guess they are out again

@@BuildinProgress yeah where did you get them? I'm looking for the 309x32mm ones

@@CRacing19 there are 2 part numbers for 309x32. You can Google it and see if anyone has stock. I just checked my place and they are showing out of stock. Which part number are you looking for?

@@BuildinProgress the one witj race hardware

@@CRacing19 that doesn’t help any lol. There are even more options when discussing hardware. This is what you’re looking for: 28.001.1118.CT.87

Haha. Working on it

I dealt with Pat via email and he was fantastic. Great support. When i need pistons ill be going to him.

@@BuildinProgress yah it was Pat as well. Also didn’t gouge me on international shipping which was nice.

removed the pick up tube, the inlet of the oil pump faces upwards almost. basically just squeezed the hell outta the lucas oil bottle to fill the pump until it start pouring out. also filled the pick up as best we could then just assembled it all very quickly. put the oil pan back on with 4 bolts just to hold it, and that did it.

thank you!

Lol yup. “Was” lol

The video overlay you see is done with a garmin catalyst. The app running on my cell phone is just flashpro app

This was constant overboost. In your situation it sounds like the wastegate actuator or flap is sticking/seizing

@@BuildinProgress That’s exactly where my thought process has lead me to believe. Can do some pulls and it doesn’t skip a beat, and then sometimes it will randomly kick me the good ole P0244. I appreciate the quick reply! Subbing just for that 😤

@@nstev27 haha thanks man! I hope it’s just a simple one for you!

No need to remove the head. I replaced both upper and lower shells when I did the bearings. It’s very easy to just push the rod up a little, turn the crank out of the way, and replace both bearing half’s

@@BuildinProgress oh cool I wouldn’t think that would be very easy. Obviously main bearings need full crank shaft removal and such right?

@@Marshallbuttholeman for the mains youd need to remove the crank thats right. It would be alot more work with the engine in the car still

@@BuildinProgresshow hard was it to pull the rod back down to get it on the crank. I will attempt to do this on my car, my motor has 140k miles on it and I beat the FUCK out of it so I’m going to try and do it on the motor I don’t want to pull this motor again 😂

@@Mazdaspeed_lifestyle it’s very easy. Lots of room to get your hand in there and the piston will slide up and down easily. You won’t have an issue

I don’t believe it’s available for mac unfortunately

thanks thats good to know. i tried log dyno and put in my data log but it seems like its unaccurate.

Yea I’m not sure on that one. I know virtual dyno has been known to be good for years now

45ftlbs

@@BuildinProgress I found that is 20ft/lbs (or 23NM) + 90 degree

@@fastcougar3200 my mistake. I remember now when I did mine that is what I followed. I found the note in my phone. The 45 I quoted is for my other engine

So is it 45 or 20😅

@@bryantsk6495 20ftlb and 90 degree

Hey there, glad you found my thread!(needs some updating lol). The telemetry you are seeing here comes from my AIM MXM unit which you can see in the video sitting infront of my speedometer. This thing collects all the data, G forces, lap time, oil temp/pressure(requires additional sensors) plus all the canbus data. I then overlay this via race render onto the video

The logging in this video was done with a cobb access port. It is not universal

I’m working on it!

Thank you! I’m working on it

It’s definitely better then expected. I had a similar dyno session to you with lower then expected numbers but with how the car feels I could care less what the dyno showed. Now I just need some fresh tires, few suspension tweaks and to find 2 seconds😂

Yea just an evening session lastnight. Did a few laps lol. Was happy with that. Now to find 2 more seconds 😂

Hey thanks! Definitely new to me. It was fun though for sure. Will definitely be back again now that I kind of know what to expect lol

@@BuildinProgress yeah AutoXs are a bit different from a track day. Pretty much an equal playing field in the beginning of the day boils down to which driver can quickly find the optimal line on the course.

@@ZenonMotorsports yea I absolutely get it now

Spent most of my runs clipping cones. I definitely belong on the race track haha

This way, the oil will either go in the can under pressure, or go back to the pcv plate instead of the oil just sitting in the lines. This can happen when the car is off
