  • Freiburger and Finnegan add a turbocharger to the 1974 Mazda RPU named Mazdarati 2.0. After an impressive turn on the dyno, the guys hit the drag strip to see if the mid-engine, 5.3L LS4-powered mini-truck can outperform its predecessor.

      Then you have to go to an x24 crank and convert the whole harness to gen 3 with a gen 3 pcm, the gen4 stuff works fine they just need to learn what they’re doing, probably has the wrong pedal or something’s not happy in the tune torque management or driver demand tables being weird, you can delete all of it out of the tune so the throttle works directly like a cable throttle instead of chasing the torque curve like they’re designed to do
