New guy. New kit.

[Tokay444]

Hello folks.
I'm new to the forum, and have just purchased the HFS-4 for my ever lengthening Mazdaspeed 3 build project.
The car is currently in hibernation (going into it's second winter, including hibernating all summer) with a massively slipping clutch and cracked ring land in cylinder 3.
So I've been building a new motor piece by piece on the engine stand in my garage.
I travel a lot for work, have two kids, a wife, and house to maintain, as I'm sure many of you do also, so the hours (and finances) I can dedicate to the build each week are limited.
Plans for this winter are to have the head sent out for porting, flow matching and some chamber massaging, get the custom one off set of HotBits coilovers in and have the car corner balanced, plumb the big brake kit, and install the HFS-4 kit in the chassis.
In the spring I hope to have the entire long block finished and the big turbo kit mounted so that all I need to do is pull the old motor, swap some of the accessories that aren't being replaced and bolt the new mill in.
I'll dial in an fairly aggressive tune on 94 octane pump gas with the help of my tuner and good friend rfinkle2, and when we run out of fuel, add the methanol into the equation. My plan is to mount the nozzles in a newly available (for the platform), off the shelf throttle body spacer with 6 NPT ports.
I'm looking to put down 444 hp at the wheels, yet retain the low end torque that is motor known for, so for that I decided to got with Garrett's GTX 3067 turbo and a TiAL V-band .82 a/r hotside. The turbo should have lighting quick spool, yet still support the airflow in the upper rev range for my modest hp goals.
Once it's finished the car will be re-enlisted as my daily driver, that I would like to drive to the track for frequent lapping days, then drive home.
All in all, the ultimate goal is to build the car to be fun, and as reliable as I can make it.
I guess I'll throw up some pictures.

The ricer in me wanted something different under the hood. Valve cover will match.

The coilovers are in my trunk. I'll be sure to get pictures of them up shortly.
Thanks for checking out my build.
Looking forward to learning this new alcohol injection system.
Tips and pointers are more than welcome as well as any criticisms on the build or questions as to wth I am thinking.

I will be following this build. If you need any help with the HFS4, just post.

[Tokay444]

Thanks very much Richard.
I appreciate that.

Tokay why so slow, and why seals suck so bad =P

[Tokay444]

Great stickers. Crappy seals.

[Tokay444]

I was just being a dick.
I know Ryan. Info shared with him in here will be valuable to me also being that we drive the same car.

[Richard L]

It is OK, we have continued via pm.

I would be more useful when you start setting up the HFS4. Do ask if you have and questions regarding aquamist.

[Tokay444]

So, this arrived today.

My kit came with the standard .8, .9, and 1mm jets.
I'm grabbing a throttle body spacer with the capacity for 6 jets.
What am I gonna need to run jet/restrictor wise to him my 444whp goals knowing that we run out of factory injector at around 380whp?
Should I just run all three different sized jets in the spacer? Invest in more 1mm jets?

[rfinkle2]

Hello Tokay444 and Rich. LOL. I was just lurking and found your thread. I have been using Aquamist nozzles, fittings and line and I really am having a hard time recommending anything else over these jets and fittings.

Looking forward to having Richard's expertise and experience involved in the build.

[Tokay444]

Hey man! Nice to have you in here.
I tried mentioning you in my op, but it doesn't work like on MSF.

Hey Richard
Just bumping for the question about nozzle size and amount...

I also believe, as I think I have the same spacer, that the spacer he has 1/8 NPT threads for the nozzles. Can these be used to attached the nozzles to the spacer and still have everything functioning correctly

Been a while.
Build it progressing. Head is out being rebuilt and ported right now, and few more parts have come in.

The only thing missing on this build is the CPe Atmosphere downpipe :P

[Tokay444]

Those idiots.
I'm working with Kozmic to have it made.

[Richard L]

I can almost see end product. Doing well so far.

There is finally a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel.
