James - Throw on some summers, do an oil change, and meet me Saturday. I SHOULD have a set of CF pieces (minus the steering wheel controls) by then.
I'll pay half your dyno, and cut you a deal on your CF stuff

john lived in Ajax now, hes moving to whitby end of this yr.
If you take the same car on the same day and all you do is reduce the diameter of the wheels ( keeping the overall diameter the same). Even if the 17inch wheels weigh the same as the 18s, the car will dyno more with the 17s.
I live in Pickering, and moving to Whitby in October![]()
I can grab the plate from, no probs

FYI, stock Speed dyno'd @240whp. apparently Mazda itself dyno'd a stock Speed3 @241whp. accurate or not, i'm disowning my results till the guys @COBB invite me for a dyno&tune this summer.
huge thread..

I pulled a 228WHP yesterday on the TAG dyno (SAE corrected) which is right on par with yours almost (your torque numbers were higher than mine).
I would think the dyno does read lower than most. Almost everyone with the Hiboost kit who dynos, hits 250WHP on a stock exhaust. So I would think I am around 260-265 with a catback and race pipe.
Rexexpert - We should sooooo hit a dyno out here for fun. I can call aorund. Usually around $100/hour, and if we split it, its only $50
-John
man, those are some impressive #'s on your part. how many pulls did you do? as for dyno'ing out here, yeah man i'm gamemake some calls & let me know. i'd like to dyno w/ the summers on next time so let's do this when spring hits ('in the middle of a move now so the car takes a backseat for a few weeks). keep me posted on some shops in Durham.

For sure man.... if I can find a local spot cheap enough, I will hit them up myself then, and maybe organize a big dyno day for TM3 and some buddies of mine in spring
Thanks for the compliments, but I thought I should be doing more than 230WHP range. I am hoping for 250-260 on another dyno.... so knowing I am in range of a Modded Speed3 is nice
-John
x2 to be within 5hp and 20tq. to a modded ms3 is great, and you're car might be lighter since mazda added a bunch of heavy stuff that increased the curb weight throughout the car. yours would be stock + turbo kit so it should have a weight advantage too (and no boost cut)
In a dead race, I think the lack of boost cut would help me out where the higher TQ numbers on the speed3 would even it out a bit... I need to dyno again lol.
whitespeed3 just posted his pull from that place in KW FYI if you wanted to see a bit of the shop

I may call them today, but I doubt they will give me a few cheaper pulls... who knows, this time of year is probably slower for them
