Any interest in reproducing a second set??

I could certainly make another set. I had some teething problems making them. Because the thin wall tube needed for the bead roller came out wrinkly in the bender. I tried bead rolling the thicker tubing that looked good out of the bender but snapped the die on the bead roller. So what you see in my car is the thin wall tube bead rolled and then cut the ends off and weld them to the thicker tubing that's been bent. Also the tabs I made the mounts out of where left overs from a past project so I don't have anymore but could come up with something.

For sure! My car is away for winter for another month or two, so I'm not in any rush. If you find yourself bored and feel like fabbing up another set, I would be in for sure. Just PM me pricing etc if you get around to it.

ATI Vent pod came in, installed the Innovate oil pressure/temp gauge.

[shaunsweeney]

Two questions:

Will the Innovate LC1 work in that pod?
Does the vent still function?

[mrk1]

Any 60mm gauge will fit, also any 52mm with the adapter ring. I have an extra ring, they come in a 2 pack.

Look at the picture of the back side, where you can see the light through thats about what you get for "function" as a vent.

edit: Just looked and most Innovate gauges are 52mm so they will work with the adapter. The adapter is a rubber sleeve, nice little piece.

[mrk1]

Had to bust out some pie cuts to finish the waste gate recirc,



And with that the hot side fabrication is pretty close to done, everything clears the belly pan without spacers. I will probably put in small ones in the front just for a little piece of mind.

[protpibe]

Nice! I did the same gauge in the same spot



Where did you mount the pressure sensor and temp sensor?

[mrk1]

^^^ where did you get that top gauge pod?? I want to mount a failsafe like that.

Temp sensor is in the side of the mishimoto oil cooler sandwich plate. You can see it on page 12. The pressure hopefully will fit the other side with a short braided line to mount it remotely. Those supplies are coming next week. The pressure sensors are so big and awkward to mount.

lol yeah, I saw a pic of that gauge pod and absolutely had to have one. It looks very clean and not "1997 civic parked in a highschool parking lot"

It's a guy from some mazda forums that sells them under the username block8head. You can msg him on facebook and he'll give you info on how to order:

I think mine worked out to be about $80 shipped to canada? I don't remember, but the price was awesome and the quality is top notch.


And yeah, the pressure sender on this thing is an absolute pig. I have a Greddy sandwich plate on order which I will hopefully be able to use for both senders. I was going to put the temp sender into the galley plug by the throttle body, but it's pretty tight with the throttle body wiring harness.

[mrk1]

Galley plug could work, thats where my oil feed comes from. I didn't want to remove the factory sensor, even though I know it doesn't come on until to late blah, blah, I want it.

[mrk1]

One last pic,



Really reconsidering the 3" exhaust now, putting so much into this setup I want it to show in power.

Love this thread

[PRORICAN]

Great work Mark! I need to take some welding classes, Lol. You have some serious skills bud!
