your torque steer must be getting nuts lol. The torque steer in the speeds are already horrid as is lol. Then again that has always been a problem with mazdas. Quick tip to fix that... slightly move steering wheel back n forth while accelerating but im sure you know that :)
Can't wait to see the curves/numbers MSpeed posts up for this thing. Another beastly speed! :thumbsup
The torque steer isn't that bad once you get the motor fully mounted with stiffer bushings. The stock mounts are the main issue, they let the engine rock back and fourth so much.
Glad to hear that fixed it mostly!Quote:

Saw the beast tonight! Nice looking ride with impressive numbers man!
So since this forum only has a few of us doing stupid things I thought I would post how I have been using my time as a petrol head...
Found this for cheap so I was going to use it as my shell, it was rusty but I was going to have it fixed and looking new.

But then I found this 3 months later... and it was minty and cheaper!

Now it has the forged engine I had built and new turbo in the engine bay:

The engine should be starting this weekend hopefully... and being broken in accordingly because racecar, more detailed build post to follow... and maybe dyno results.
Good-bye FWD torque steer... Hello AWD

To the moderators: Can you add "2007 MS6" to the title, thank you.
Awesome :D

Stock intercooler and BPV will be taken off for replaced next weekend when I figure out my fueling + crash bar clearance situation...
Had to fix a small fuel leak from a pinched O-ring but we managed to get it all done. Thanks to Jimmy @ Street Performance.
I will be picking up the car monday for the break in drive and then taking her home for the first time this week :) tuning will start once compression is up.
We haven't checked the compression yet but the engine sounded very healthy and even full JBR mounted the vibes weren't that bad.
The clutch was a leg press though lol... Yay CP-e
Nice build. Could you detail what you did to the engine. Looking to build at some point and wondering what your costs were to do the build.
I have a longblock for sale if you want to build it on the side lol... let me know. I will post a detailed post once I have the beast fully together. Still doing the break in and tuning... FMIC and meth kit need to go in once I get the e-test and safety completed.Quote:

I have a block and crank already so it's more about finding a head, and everything else...lol...shipping to Vancouver could be expensive:)
FMIC installed and did a bunch of pulls, logs posted here: http://www.torontomazda3.ca/forum/sh...72#post1337172
Gotta install the meth kit soon... but need to order the Stainless steel lines which I need to measure up for.
How much for the long block? What all comes with it?Quote:

Kept up to a Jaguar F-type today with the MS3, going to miss it when it's gone.
Obviously didn't get to the speed where he pulled away but I got a thumbs up from him lol...
I crushed the Porsch :D

Looking good man!!
Devil's own meth tank and Stainless Steel lines ith check valve to go with a D014 nozzle spraying 100% meth.

Hopefully that will be enough to fuel to max out the BNR S4.
MS3 Sold (a good car and will be missed)
