Default Mazdaspeed 3 build

I blew my motor and melted a hole in the #3 piston big enough to put your finger in it and it also melted the cylinder sleeve. They replaced the sleave and honed all the sleaves.



pistion with the hole melted thru



same but up close



the new pistions —:icon_thumright:



the new rods —:icon_thumright:

alright pics of the FMIC






hot pipe of the intercooler




had to move the power steering cooler lines up a bolt


done and on the car without the bumper


cold pipe from the intercooler


with the bumper on



another pic with the bumper on

took the gay honeycomb out.



wrapped the intake with aluminum bubble wrap. Need to warp the turbo inlet pipe and cold pipe. Thanks to Ziggo.

I had the head and intake manifold ported but for some reason I didn't put them on photobucket and deleted the pics. I fail.

The current mods are in my sig. My current tune is sitting at 311whp and 370wtq. I'm going to buy some nt555r's and tune for 3 gal of e85. Should put me around 330whp and 390wtq.

Nice work. Why'd it melt in the first place and how's the torque steer?

I was having fuel pump problems so it ran lean. With solid motor mounts I dont get much...anymore. Before when I just had a rear motor mount it made lane changes for me lol

Those are interesting connecting rods. I haven't seen that "t" cross section before. You'll love those tires. Last time I was at the track with mine, I cut .12 off of my 60' without a hint of traction loss. Rest assured, I'm working on the too much traction problem though.

Thanks. I can't wait to get the new clutch in/broken in and get these tires on. Then it's e85 time

How much power are you looking at once you crank up the boost? What can the injectors handle? I think you have the stockers based on your signature but am not too well versed in the Mazda speed arena.
