good improvement so far...but it has some oil consumption that needs looking into.
well on the way to 230+ since this is just a roll map ☺

end result for now !

pretty nice torque bump from a 2.0 to a 2.5 .
now its just a weeks wait to get it back for some chassi work

**Posted:** Wed Jun 17, 2015 11:09 pm

That's some good figures

aye,pretty pleased so far...but it will get ported and fitted with some new injectors this winter

im pretty sure there is a decent amount of NA power to retrive

**Posted:** Thu Jun 18, 2015 10:12 pm

209 whp is pretty solid mate! I should really get some money together for a standalone ecu. Should be a pretty good gain as I have pretty much the same setup as you do. Except I still have standard fuel pump and injectors.

I could use the extra hp with the tall gearbox to improve the lower range hp a bit.

Really curious on what she does fully tuned up!

Keep us posted!

Sure thing mate !

i know 215whp is easy to reach,without "serious" mods.
so im thinking 220-230whp is doable with what im planning to do.
but before that,chassi work is priority ^^

anyone have a good suggestion to a tower strut that will clear the ZE intake ? my mazdaspeed wont fit properly after the engine swap,so kinda need a new one :/

**Posted:** Thu Jul 02, 2015 3:50 pm

You can use the OEM one, just grind of the mounting point on the 'hatch' on top of your intake, a small bend on the strut and there you go.

Nice figures! the torque is a realy nice upgrade

**Posted:** Thu Jul 02, 2015 10:34 pm

aye,it pulls really strong compared to the 2l KF.
going for a cam upgrade + some port work soon.
thanks for the tip on the strut,ill try that since i have 2 spare of them

well,went out for a cruise/test drive with my Brother (he drives a FD with 330bhp/405nm) and im impressed how the BA performes considering its a N/A.
both with a good launch were neck and neck to 70-75mph.
that was not expected !

**Posted:** Mon Jul 06, 2015 12:08 pm

Nice one!

They are remarkably fast somehow. So do some weight loss, lightend flywheel and its an extra more fun in it

neck and neck to 70 with an FD? really? If so mate that is very very impressive!!!

jupp,im a little lighter and shorter gear ratio does the trick !
will be fun to see what new cams,ported tb/inlet and bigger injectors will do

also need to fit my new bushings and tune the suspension setup,its proned to bounch if you dont nail the launch perfectly.

**Posted:** Mon Jul 06, 2015 8:55 pm

stiffer dampers in the front is important to stop the wheelhop, if they are already as stiff then you have some serious wear on the bushes or shitty coilovers

**Posted:** Tue Jul 07, 2015 5:30 am

theyre BC V1's and theyre all on soft after the roadtrip

will dial them in this week...and yesh,bushings are stock atm but i got fresh polys to get on

**Posted:** Sat Jul 11, 2015 5:41 pm

little update today,just fitted a RX8 fan and fanmotor

all it took was a Dremel and voila !
cooled much nicer compared to the stock 4 blade fan as this has 7 blades and higher Rpm

**Posted:** Sun Jul 26, 2015 4:16 pm

With all the Polybushes now fitted im bottoming out under hard cornering (the grip is there,but the springs give in as BC V1 are 8/4kg)

so ordered some New parts for futher improvements :

Swift Springs 16/10kg rate,this will sort the dampers out !
New titanium valve springs
New cams are in the process,getting some specs for regrinded KL31`s
Making New custom Headers,M2 Racing ones wont do anymore :P
Water/meth injection kit ordered.

all this With a good New tune and 8k rpm should see 220whp this fall
