I’m loving it, the acceleration is insane. I'm coming out of the tight corners with full boost rather than lugging for a second.

Respecognize!

hmm...i am trying to get myself a 4.77 gear set for my FB as we speak. (future RCC tech article...) Being that i am moving to Colorado, i am looking for any advantage i can. One of the long term goals is force induction. Which is going to be either a Camden supercharger (likely), turbocharger or gasp both

Couple of questions for you...
1. Have you posted a dyno chart somewhere? I dont' remember seeing one. 2. How's the AEM Twin Fire working for you? I've heard mixed reviews. 3. Got any more photos or info about making the XS LIM fit with the stock turbochargers? I'm not the most mechanically inclined person, are there any tricks to modifying the stock coolant and oil hard lines besides just grabbing them with vice grips and twisting carefully? After seeing the Mazdaspeed price for replacements, I'm hoping to do this right the first time... Thanks, Scott |

2) The AEM is performing like a champ, no issues to report. 3) What is in my post is all the information I have. The amount you have to bend them is not that much and the tubing is fairly soft. I put a Phillips head screw driver inside the pipe to bend it. I would not grab it with pliers as you may crush them or damage the sealing surface. You could heat them first but I really don't think it is necessary Dan |

Thanks for the info Dan. How did the car feel at nationals? I think I saw results somewhere showing that Strelnieks won SM2 again.

I can tell you that since putting the Kaaz and 4.77 ring/pinion in, the car has set FTD or ran times fast enough for FTD in 6 out of 6 races. Including 3 top RTP/PAX times which is pretty difficult with an SM2 PAX . Dan |

Testing done by Erik has proved it is worth around a ½ second on a fast 60 second course. A ½ second in autocross is a butt whooping. It does grow on you, when I take it off for towing now the car looks to tame . Dan |

Dan, perhaps I missed it, but have you done any modifications to your transmission? You're able to pull off some quick shifts to second in the videos and I noticed on one track you went back to 1st without troubles.
Great thread and thanks for putting all the info up.

Here is a video clip a friend shot of my car doing a drag race launch at the most resent Toledo ProSolo. We took 1st and 2nd in our class at the event.
