  1. Re: Upgrading Camshafts on MZR L engine (non DISI)

    I never did get a chance to take my old Mazda3 to Mosport GP back in the day so never did get a lap time for it. The Mazda3 makes a great momentum car for GP and cornering speeds should surprise...

    guess it depends on the code(s) for the cats... the ms3 had codes P0137, P0140, P0421 suppressed and the catalyst readiness test became "ready"... the EGR was the only "not ready" for the ms3, and...

    north of 450 whp, the MS3 won't be competitive at OTA. You're looking at SGT1 based on Dyno Plot, or Mod3 based on PIPs that you'll need to support a "driveable" 450 whp.

    at that point you're...

    If you're targeting OTA, then you should look into using the Dyno Plot option to classify your car to avoid taking the PIP hit for certain mods.

    only the EGR is an Emission Readiness Test. That will be a Not Ready.

    vtcs is only a code that can be disabled, thus not triggering the CEL.
