Re: ANNUAL MIAMI WRENCH SESSION - JAN 26-28, 2007 :( My Sy is for sale :( http://www.syty.net/forums/showthread.php?t=45074

Re: What's the deal with the stock SY suspension? Replaced upper control arm bushing. Problem is gone. Alignment was a pain in the ass. God bless Syclones.

Re: Lost my sanity - cut off exhaust - any thoughts? Update: have been daily driving all these months with NO exhaust, have not blown motor or overboosted, never exceeded 15.5 psi, truck is loud and slow, mileage seems to have improved, sometimes it feels really fast but low rpm torque is gone...

Re: overboost I have the same problem. Even now that I've removed my whole exhaust, boost is 10-12 at full throttle, and only gets 14.5 on the highway. (Autometer gauge) I haven't messed with the WG yet.

Re: Lost my sanity - cut off exhaust - any thoughts? Thank you Daron. Will do. Still wondering about the backpressure issue, I plan on putting a muffler back on to quiet it down, maybe I'll regain some of the low rpm torque. I also don't understand why the truck doesn't overboost (although I...

Re: Lost my sanity - cut off exhaust - any thoughts? I was thinking that I'll build the perfect exhaust piece by piece, starting with the DP. I'll leave the factory headers and turbo, and just go from there. So I need a really good downpipe. I have called around and most experts agreed that the...

I recently encountered more stress than I could handle, so that is my excuse for cutting the exhaust at the turbo on my daily driver stock Syclone. It is unbearably loud, and I expected it to boost 25 psi and blow up, but only boosts 10-11 psi at a little more than half throttle. Is it because...

Re: Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach guys I will be there around 7. I don't get out of work until 6, and I'll have to drive careful because I'm concerned about my suspension.

Re: good run with boosted Mazda LOL :rotf: Hey, the 93-95 RX-7 has an intercooler the size of a book but runs 4.9 to 60 and 13.5 in the 1/4 @100! Not exactly Syclone worthy but much better than the boosted Miata. Rotary Power!! :tup:

Re: good run with boosted Mazda I hate to say this but the Mazdaspeed MX-5 (Miata) is slow. They are gorgeous looking (to me) and the handling is simply mindblowing. But the turbo is laggy, and it only makes 178 horsepower. It'd be lucky to run a 15 flat. That's not acceptable in a turbo Miata...

Re: good run with boosted Mazda Thanks, and me too. :)

It was a (relatively) cold Florida evening. I was on my way home from helping out with a friend's car, with about 75 lbs of tools in the Sy. I see an orange turbo Mazdaspeed Protege pulling out to get on the long empty two lane road I'm on. I slow down enough to make it obvious I'm waiting for...

Re: What's the deal with the stock SY suspension? Congratulations! I know you've been wanting one for a while. Enjoy it and I know you will take great care of it. Yes we are still playing racing games on the PS2 when we are not actually racing (Moroso and events at Hialeah Race Track). As far...

Re: What's the deal with the stock SY suspension? Great, thanks a lot! Sounds like the perfect solution.

Re: Want to eliminate EGR - help please That is really cool. I was hoping that was the case.

Re: Want to eliminate EGR - help please Update: I installed a nice EGR block-off plate, and now there is no more "ticking sound" or oil smell under acceleration. I suppose the one I made was a different grade of metal and did not seal when things got warm?? Or it was as much of a POS as it...

Re: What's the deal with the stock SY suspension? Thanks for the response, and sweet truck! I had a 60-1 on my '88 RX-7. Pretty aggresive turbo. So if I install the bushings at work, how many days would it take if I work on it 1 hour every day? It would be much easier on a lift with tools and...

Re: What's the deal with the stock SY suspension? It's getting REALLY bad. Now that I got my RX-7 running, I am ready to pull the Sy apart. I am debating to do it at home or at work on a lift. At work we're really busy, and I'd get in trouble for having it there several days. I'd feel more...

Re: What's the deal with the stock SY suspension? Thanks all. Don't give up on me, I'll get to the bottom of this eventually. However, if the wheels were bent, the roadforce reading on the tire balancing machine I use at work would exceed the allowable limits. Also, if the propshaft was bent or...
