kickn5k Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 So I've been doing a little road tuning lately. Have got it driving, and more importantly starting really well now. Oh and here's a pic of Byron lapping my valves.... That's awesome Si!! Bet your map looks a fair bit different now. Haha Byron is the next generation of "K" mad scientist!! Jeez from the last photo you put up, he's growing up fast! Won't be long and he'll be screwing your motors together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz_Rx Posted October 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Who do you think helped me assemble it! lol His "rrrrrrrmmmmmmm psssssch" (as he calls it) addiction is getting a bit out of hand lately! ....Oh and he helped me bleed the brake in the mazda last night.

Taz_Rx Posted October 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Small update....... Less than 100km of run-in K's to go now. Might look into booked the road tuning in 2 weeks time (w/e after long w/e)....... Can't wait for more rpm and boost! Recently offloaded a heap of left over parts too, so I now also have funds for tuning. Anybody want some extractors??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninja-philbo Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Awesome man. mine starts so easy. but seems very flat. but mines also a dead stock 4k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz_Rx Posted October 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Hmmm, yeah cold starting in the morning is my biggest issue still. Did you get a fuel pressure gauge? If so will yours hold fuel pressure once switched off or does it drop off to 0? Also how did you go with the idle bypass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninja-philbo Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Yep and drops to zero. idle bypass went within two mins of our phonecall. trying to find a switch type bypass instead of the rotary type they use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taz_Rx Posted November 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Service today....... Grins tonight! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz_Rx Posted November 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Got the road tuning done today. Running nicely on 16 psi, can really notice the cam now, maybe slightly less rpm than the last one but it feels so much stronger through the mid range now. ....oh and my speeding ticket could have been a lot worse, so i'll just take that one on the chin.

Taz_Rx Posted December 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Got a turbo intake rewelded last week so I've finally got my proper snorkel and filter back on now. Got my original fluttery bov sound back now! And really surprised how much it changes boost response - was spiking 17'ish, running 15 psi without, then spiking 22, running about 18 psi with it! Also finally pulled the 7k semi apart, and worked put why it bhg'd..... In the wagon I bought it in, to retain the a/c the previous owner has swapped the 3k double crank pulley onto the 7k. All good.....apart from the fact that the pulley and timing marks don't line up. :rolls: So end of the day when I timed the motor with the turbo/efi stuff on it, it actually had about 45-50° more timing in it than what I though it had! Might have something to do with why it was a bitch to start and needed 35% more fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toy-Yoda[RL] Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 I'm gonna go right ahead and claim zero responsibility for that..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
