I wanted to start a thread to track progress of my car. No built motor here. No big turbo stuff. I want my stock block to last a while. So let us start off with background...

This is a 2013 cwp 3 that I purchased new in 2013 over the phone. I had not seen the car but I knew I wanted it. Called a local dealer and told them my bottom line price. They told me to fuck off basically. Called back after a few hours, got the manager on the phone, said I was coming with cash and to have papers ready and car waxed. He agreed to my price at this point and from here on out was the smoothest car transaction to date for me. In and out in an hour and car was spotless when I arrived.

Car has 58k on the clock. Does not burn oil. And has proven to be quite reliable thus far.

Run down of what I currently have installed:
APv2
JBR 3" full intake
JBR EGR delete
Throttle body coolant bypass
Custom SSP
Corksport BPV
Corksport Fuel Pump Internals
Decatted oem DP and 2nd cat
Sure Boost Tubes
3 bar map and pnp harness
Ported OEM manifold with OEM Mazda gasket
CS trans inserts
JBR 88 rmm
ADD W1 OCC routed to valve cover and pcv
Evo 8 wheels
Stoptech slotted rotors and ceramic pads all around

I self tuned this setup, it was fun, I am now over it.

In garage:
JBR ebcs
3" cnt catless DP wrapped in dei titanium exhaust wrap


To be ordered:
DM mounts all around
Custom Etune on 93

Plan...
I am going to be porting the oem manifold. It will have deleted vtcs and the holes between the runners will be welded in. I contacted extrude hone and was going to send the manifold to them once the hand porting was done...fuck that. Quote was $600. It will get hand ported and smoothed to the best of my abilities and that is that.

I am aiming for 340/340 on 93 with no alcohol. I want something I can drive anywhere without worrying about finding E or running low on meth. It will be ran on the stock catback because I do a lot of highway driving and couldn't stand the catless straight exhaust I had. If I obtain numbers higher than my goal then awesome but I want to stay realistic and want the motor to last. Seems like the higher HP stock blocks kill rings after 20-30k. I want to see 100k from this motor without issues. Etuner is still undecided at this point.

I will update with pictures once the car is cleaned up and I find time. Vdyno progress will also be updated as I go. Plan is to have this finished by December. The biggest problem at this point will just be finding time to install the shit I collect.
