Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

Did some research and it appears the 2.3T from the ecoboost only shares the same block as the mazda speed 3 everything else is different though. Also it uses a twin scroll turbo which is cool.

Looks like a metal fender. Heat gun and anger wont work sadly. Youll need to buy a little metal piece (I think its called a dollie) and a body hammer and use the dollie and lightly hammer the body panel back into place. Did this when I put two steel plates on the hood of my jetta after knocking two holes in the hood to get rid of the rust that ate through it. I may not know a lot about engines but when it comes to autobody HMU!

Yeah I probably shouldn't mention my northbridge is running hot :P. Knowing that the threads car related, it probably means I'm gonna get when on a bike or somethin.

Twin scroll turbo are cool. From the pictures it looks like they just put two turbo's together to make it one unit.

PERSONALLY not worth the $90K CAD but I'd buy it over the equivalent spec Giulia QF.

 

Don't care how much they cost right now. When I'm able to afford one, they will be cheap. I hope xD

Ordered my immobilizer-not-required japanese ECU today from the UK. 

Got to get up early for this stuff.

 

BTW if you guys ever need hard to find japan parts ask for Jack at Nippon Auto Parts in the UK, awesome guy. I had a really great experience talking with him through email and he's the one that made this happen for me even though it's not something they typically do.

Which TCB car?

 

CTMP was fun aside from the intermittent rain all weekend. Torrential downpour made Sunday afternoon... difficult.

#37 Green Mazda 2. 

Saturday race was a dud because of the incidents. Think they got 7 laps in or something then the race was red flagged and ended early. 

Sunday race looks like he was having some fuel issues and didnt finish.
