Welcome!!! another one like me "oldmen"...... Cheers mate
Another case of MAF calibration, also learn to do shorter logs. include your IDC and pedal pos. with my comment on MAF, your LTFT are way out. I ran mine between +/- 3.0. Read on mate you could also...
There are alot that can go wrong on a car this old. I would be looking for service history and whos done it. One of the items that caught me by surprise is the RV.
As mentioned by Lachlan, do your checks. Regular maintenance (better than what the log book requires) is the key I guess.My original K04 lasted till 203k's and still in good shape without any smoke...
The weather can sometimes affect the fuel delivery. (air density)
Heard, it will be back soon. Hopefully.......
Yep he is a tool..... You mentioned, you bought the car last Christmas, did it over heat? cars with out thermostat will over heat during summer.
With AP, (I don't know anything about VT) you can choose how you base your tune. I moved from boost to load based tune. In load based tune you can actually specify what loads (which will control...
You'll find a few factory parts from ebay USA under mazdaspeed 3/6. Price is good too. I was lucky to have bought heaps of parts when our dollar was high. The best buy was a timing chain combo with a...
Nice choice.... I would consider the AP if I were you.
Not MPS garage. stay away......
Get an AP direct from COBB.
Other places you could get parts from are Cork Sport, CPE, Street Units and so on.
I wouldn't worry so much about cat back only if you...
Just an info on MPS6 (2005-2007) timing chain;
The reason why they fail is because of the VVT cog. Apparently the button on this cog fails causing the chain to stretch. Some called this issue the...
Had a Nissan bluebird atessa for 12 years. Had my MPS for 3. What Ive learnt from turbo engines is, its not the quality of oil (as long as the viscosity is good), its how often you change the oil I...
Mine never saw a mechanic since i bought it. Deppends on your mechanical knowledge, this car is very easy to maintain. All you need are tools.
The most technical ive done is timing chain and vvt...
Yep....
The 3 an the 6 are both good cars. It all depends on what you want. For a family car, I would personally drift towards the 6.
Is it a blue smoke or just black?
Black smoke is unburnt fuel, blue or light blue could be oil or combination of oil and coolant.
70% would be your turbo (seals are worn). There is also that PVC...
Welcome,
Get an AP. What are your mods? There are people here that can help.
Cheers
I have one, a tow bar....wana remove it but, it might come in handy 1 day. its heavy.
The code your getting suggest that it is a faulty cat, but you said you haven't seen it in 2 days after a reset. It could be a bad fuel.
Power wise, its pretty good.
Looks Like stock DP and turbo to me. Nice intake but. Is you Hyper access able to do MAFCAL?
Go to troubleshooting page and have a look at the code causing your engine light. Do not reset it.
Have you paired it with your car?
Use to own a Nissan bluebird turbo with an adjustable BPV. It flutters when the spring is adjusted way too tight.
Normally, cars with BPV vented to atmosphere are MAP through vacuum (old school).
According to what I've learnt when my AFR was out of wack, the O2 sensor before the cats in conjunction with your MAF and other sensors helps in controlling the AFR via the ECU at close loop (it will...
