    4th gear.

    Gonna advance the timing this week and hit the dyno on the weekend. Hoping for 155 Whp!

    Has anyone ever actually seen a lighter flywheel generate better numbers on the dyno? I'd get one anyway for drivability, but in terms of power, it's like one of those things they should do on Mythbusters...

    from wat my friend says, every 1 lb you take off the flywheel, you gain about 2. or something like that.....
    he just got an underdrive pulley for his jetta, so once my header's are installed, we both want to get our cars dyno'd.
    and i want to e-test my car too. just to see if it'll pass with headers and a catback...

    the lightened flywheel has some negative side effecs...check out Mazda3forums for more details

    With a lightened fly wheel the engine will rev faster but you'll lose torque at the top end, which may or may not result in HP loss. Reducing the weight is only beneficial to a certain point

    ya, and from wat i read on M3forums, its also harder to start the car, because of the less rotating mass. also, you have to push more gas when moving from a stop, or something like that.

    I say your next step is fuel management, and upgraded injectors, timing advance and those lightweight pulleys.

    Finally got around to doing the timing advance today! Just got back from a nice long cruise and she's smooth as velvet. With any luck I'll dyno this coming weekend. =)

    Very nice mods. I'm interested to see what those dyno results will yield this time..

    2006 Mazda 3 Sport GT 5 speed manual. Titanium Grey. Eibach Pro-Kit. TWN Shift Bushings. 13% Solar Gard HP Tint. Black painted brake calipers (Dupont brush on kit) Love stains in the back. New mod: replaced original Gt bumper with a new one without plate holes. Relocated plate. (Thanks raccoon!)

    Taken from MAzdas247.com:

    Ignition Timing Advance (Monzta's Timing Mod)
    Price: $0
    Install: 20-40min (http://**********************/index....5573#msg585573)
    Further Reading: http://www.miata.net/garage/KnowYourCar/S10_Timing.html
    Pros: Take advantage of higher octane, smoother acceleration, more hp/tq, ECU pulls back when engine knocking is detected
    Cons: 1.6L has the sensor in a fixed position, Cost of using higher octane, Possible knocking from 87
    Peak Power Gains: +6whp/3wtq (using 89 octane and timing vs. 87; your mileage may vary)
    What you're basically doing is igniting the fuel mixture a little sooner by moving the slotted crank position sensor to advance the ignition timing. It will still be within factory specs (8° BTDC set at factory according to Service Manual, 10° BTDC according to Service Highlights- that info alone could be why some stock 3s are putting out slightly higher #s than others). This modification only deals with the ignition; the cam is not affected- therefore, the VVT operations/changes will still engage at the same rpms. While 87 octane works with this modification, those who have experienced knocking/pinging use 89 octane to compensate.

    I advise you to reset the ECU so the timing curves/maps can be learned quicker. It will most likely stall just once while trying to find the new idle speed (it won’t stall again while it’s idle hunting the next time you reset the ECU). Some users report a slightly lower idle speed after doing this mod, so don't be surprised if it drops lower than you're used to. You might also want to add some fuel injector cleaner every few tanks if you’re using 89 or higher.

    My observations on different octane after this mod:
    I've tried running 87 and it didn't seem to accelerate as fast on the freeway (ECU possibly retarding back the timing to a "safer" level). Burned through 2 gallons pretty fast though. I feel almost no difference between 89 and 91 for my 3, but both allow me to get better performance and smoother/quicker acceleration at the cost of lower gas mileage compared to the 87.

    From Monzsta, the mod's originator:
    Factory timing is highly conservative, plus the ever-present knock sensor will protect the engine. Worst case scenario is the mod won't show any gains, meaning that the engine is utilizing all the advance it had previous, and the ecm is pulling out the added timing due to spark knock. Being users of this mod ARE reporting gains, it would seem the engine can use more timing. My car hasn't shown any improvement in stock form with 87 vs. 93 octane and it seems to now after advancing the timing, indicating the ecm is finally using the knock sensor to determine what grade of fuel I'm running and adapting it's timing maps to compensate. (as it should if the engine were in a max effort tune from the factory, like a 'Vette's.)

    Timing Advance + 89 octane dyno:
    @3.5k: +2hp, 4tq
    @4.5k: +3hp, 4tq
    @5.5k: +4hp, 4tq
    @6.0k: +5hp, 4tq
    @6.5k: +5hp, 4tq

    Haven't had time to get to the dyno yet, but it feels good...

    The butt dyno says there's a gain, but I'm dying to find out. Unfortunately for the dyno, but fortunately for me, my springs and swaybar just showed up so I think there'll be one more trip to the shop before I get her on the rollers. =)

    Are there actually lighter pullies (sp?) for the 3? My last encounter with under drive pulleys have either rendered the AC useless as it leaves the condenser out of the loop, or it causes under-charge problems with the alternator. Maybe i'm totally on crack...

    Fantastic. Well, I like my AC, and I like sufficient charge even more, so I guess those are out of the question. Hmm...

    Yeah, I'm not a fan of underdrive pullies, pretty much for all the reasons you listed. I've always had good experiences with lightened flywheels though, and since I'll need a new clutch anyway...

    I'll get the car on a dyno again as soon as she gets some springtime lovin'. And maybe a new IM. =)

    I ran an UD pulley on my old Grand Am and it didn't have any ill effects on the charging or cooling system (water pump, crank, alt, etc. were all run off of the belt). If I could would I do it on my 3, probably not.

    Nice numbers... Planning to take it on the track? Lowing the weight of the car would help alot... Just a thought!

    Horsepower and torque are directly related. Horsepower is just the rate at which you make torque. Making torque faster is just as good as making more torque. Their relationship is expressed with this formula:

    HP= (Torque X RPM)/5252

    So if your torque is increasing, then so is your horsepower. Also, if your engine speed is increasing, then usually is your power.

    A lightened flywheel is just tricky because there is less rotational interia keeping the engine turning and recipricating when you let off the throttle.
