Hall of Fame....or Shame
I've decided there should be a mazdaspeed hall of fame...or shame, where all the win...or fail can be easily viewed by all for a good chuckle.
This thread will be locked at all times and is for viewing (or fapping) pleasure only.
If you think there is a post that is worthy of being inducted into the hall, send loki, S.F.W or Mr Wilson a PM with the link, and your resoning as to why it is worthy of being inducted, and just maybe it'll hold a place in speed infamy forever.

Furnace
Once we force feed your furnace with boost, it'll get pissed off (see image of furnace gritting teeth) and produce all sorts of heat we can harness to warm your house AND your water. Green folks, take note. You can make power AND save the planet.
So much heat will radiate from this furnace that if we were to turn it up to full power, we could flash cook 4 cows on each floor in under 30 seconds. Nelly would be proud.
Outside, heat will emanate from Loki's house as if it were Goku powering up to Super Saiyan and warm 3 city blocks in the coldest of winters. Green folks, take note once more. Surrounding residents won't need to run their furnaces once we get this guy online.
Intake
HTP 4" intake. Good for over 600hp mated to a black cone style AEM filter. We don't want to look too ricey here with red or blue filter elements; understated looks go a long way.
The screen in front of the mass airflow sensor acts as an airflow straightener and a barrier to prevent babies from getting sucked in. We don't advise you bring your babies to view this monster setup as you won't walk out of the room with your bundle of joy in your arms. Boyracer, this one is for you; Girlracer should stay at home.
Men, I know what you're thinking. Pornstar member if you get close enough. No, no, no and no! Unless you want your junk to resemble an over stretched piece of bubble gum, I don't recommend it.
Turbo
After wiping off the year old cobwebs, the GT3071 should be good to go. Its efficient up to ~450hp but we're not here to make wimpy power; we'll crank this bish to the low 500s. At this point, this turbo has spent more time near the furnace than it has in a car so I expect it would exhibit symptoms of Stockholm Syndrome if we were to put it in Loki's Speed.
I know what you're thinking, Fast_Dude: Faaaaaaaccckkk!
Think this setup couldn't get any greener? Think again. The turbo CHRA is cooled with house water. Cold water comes in, hot water comes out. No need for an additional fossil fuel burning, ozone depleting, baby bird killing hot water tank. Green y0!
Catalytic Converter
Affectionately dubbed "Meow" because we call it a "cat". We don't need to run two cats in this setup since this runs so green, flowers and sunshine already comes out the loud as f**k Cherry Bomb Exhaust.
Exhaust
The mother of all loud @$$ axleback exhausts. Statements are made when your exhaust sounds like the starting line of a NASCAR event. Nuff said.
Intercooler
30+ PSI needs an intercooler. I suggest running the Treadstone TR1245 which is good for 860hp. This 12.5" X 22" X 4.5" core will cool the intake charge to below ambient temperatures with the imbued pixie dust and unicorn fluids.
CelestSpeed3 will be jealous at the size of this mother and will likely fit this unit on his pu by tomorrow.
Blow Off Valve
We don't recirculate our boost, we vent that hoe to the atmosphere. We don't suggest standing in the same room with this thing goes off. The pressure change will be so great that when ambient pressure returns to normal, you'll die from the bends.
Pacifier
Pacifiers keep babies from crying and furnaces from killing.
Meth Injection
Soon to be added to the pile of car parts near Loki's furnace. Might as well put it to use and cool the intake charge below freezing. The highly sophisticated drinking bird will hit the toggle button at precise intervals to cool the intake charge and prevent the furnace from blowing up from detonation.
Furnace Management System
The COBB Furnace Management System is still in Beta. Should it prove to be successful, COBB will release it to the public and all beta testers will get a cut of the profits. We can assure you, we'll get it to target the proper AFR.
Not pictured here is the COBB THERMOStat made of unobtainium and recycled pink fog LEDs.
Re: Mazdaspeed Hall of Fame....or Shame
So I just got a chance to take a few pics of the new setup. First a few pics of the current setup to compare:
Current setup. Huge nasty gap, yuck:
Test fit of new setup. SUPER STANCE HELLAFLUSH YO!!!!:
Tried taking a few steps with the new setup. It's brutal to walk in. I don't think I can do this next year.
Winter mode:
I'll have to stick with winter mode for now... don't want to get slush all over my pants!
Re: Mazdaspeed Hall of Fame....or Shame
It's been a while since I last posted in here. Since then I've had some other parts installed on it (TMIC, DP, TP), but this last weekend a major install took place. List of parts installed were: EGR delete, TMM, PMM, RMM, ported intake manifold, IM TIG and TB TIG, injector seals, valve cleaning.
All in all, took about 30 hrs this weekend, that's how things are done at NATOR molasses. Without further ado, here are the pics.
Before the install:
So I started at 9am in the morning, casually removing the intercooler, intake, TIP, battery & ECU, battery tray. At around 9:30-9:45 ish, loki and Mr. Wilson arrived to chat it up and give me a hand. That's when things really started to get rolling as we were talking about trips and such. Phil stopped by too before work and so did breakfasteatre. After more chatting and while I was installing my EGR delete, Mr. Wilson ninja'd the TMM and PMM onto the car, here are some pics after the TMM and PMM install.
After PMM and TMM install:
Mr. Wilson, you sneaky sneak. Good job.
Somewhere between that time, Phil had to go to work. Then Mr. Wilson went to see Jimmy to get his coils and brakes done. Good thing breakfasteatre had a car with a battery in it, because he was able to pump out some big tunes while loki and I were wrenching.
At this point it was around 1pm, so we took a break for lunch, ordered some pizza and the damn guy took FOREVER. While eating I was having doubts as to whether or not I should remove the manifold because it looked super intimidating. So we made a trip to CT to get some solvents to clean the valves and the whole time I was still trying to procrastinate. Once we bought all the stuff, we went over to Jimmy's to see the progress of Mr. Wilson's car. Jimmy was just getting started, so we picked up Mr. Wilson for additional man power.
The removal of the manifold started at around 4:30 and it took some time to get it done. Here's how the car looks without the manifold:
Then we stopped to get some wonton noodles and McD's sundaes. At about 9pm, Mr. Wilson's car was ready so I dropped him off at Jimmy's to pick up his car. When I got back, we started with the valve cleaning process... OMG are they ever dirty. We had to wait for the solvents to do their job so I got a chance to snap some pics of the car.
Mr. Wilson came back with his car. His brakes now sound like wailing banshees. Nice. Shortly after, he left to take care of some family business and loki and I proceeded to remove the fuel rail to install the injector seals. More procrastination ensued as there were no clear instructions as to how the fuel rails are to be removed. After much hesitation and rage, I Hulk'd my fuel rail off and while loki took care of some "business", I took his off too.
Here's how the car looks without the fuel rail:
With the injectors in:
At this point, it was super late (5am) so we decided to call it a night and continue the next day. This gave me a chance to have a slumber party with loki.
The next morning we had to visit CT again to pick up more solvents and cleaning tools. On the way back, we picked up some breakfast from Tim's and work continued.
The next part was to crank the engine so that the remaining valve would close. This was another PITA because my undertray is on and getting to the bolt was annoying. But you gotta do what you gotta do. While the solvents were working on the last cylinder, I got under the car to install the RMM.
Here's the car with the RMM installed:
With the last valve cleaned, I proceeded to button everything up. Loki had to wait for CelestSpeed3 for the TIG so he did some more cleaning.
Car with IM and TB TIG installed:
I had to stop because I had dinner arrangements and loki continued with work. Came back from dinner and loki was about done. Cleaned up the garage to get ready to start the car and move out. Loki cranks the car to pressurize the system and then all of a sudden, the car shuts off. No lights, no nothing. Some of his gauges still work so we were in a bit of a panic. Mind you, at this point we've been awake for 15 hrs with like 2 hrs of sleep. Then loki clues in that he forgot to tighten the battery connectors. Yeah, that would make the car not start.
Once that was tightened up, BAM! The car fires up and a huge puff of black smoke gets sprayed onto my pants (I was behind his car putting stuff away). Car starts fine and I proceed to start my car.
My car went a lot smoother because I actually tightened all my nuts and bolts. And with that, the 2-day install was completed.
Loki packed up his stuff, check out my toy collection and went on his merry way.
Here are some pics of the final product:
So glad loki talked me into it. Of course, we had lots of help along the way, Mr. Wilson, Phil, breakfasteatre, BlueStreak, Jimmy, CelestSpeed3, Fobio (sorry if I missed anybody, totally unintentional). Next time I do this, it shouldn't take 30 hrs. More like 3.
Good job loki, we have progressed to the next level.

Re: Mazdaspeed Hall of Fame....or Shame
One of the most epic new user's threads ever....EVER
http://www.torontomazda3.ca/forum/sh...ooostin+speed3
and the rest is history....
Re: Mazdaspeed Hall of Fame....or Shame
Look...I was sitting on the throne...looking at my car magazines...looking at the TP....and the empty TP roll, and I thought about tuning. Then I was like, the best idea came to my mind. I mean, you know it must be a wicked idea...PAPAER MARCHE!courtesy of papier mache intake.....
Why don't we start making custom intakes from paper marche...I mean, you know, if we make it as a short ram, add a water shield, it'll never get wet right?
I can also get all the vinyl masters around to help me wrap it nice and TIGHT YO!
MBNTO keeps telling me I have to lacquer it...I keep telling him how I want to effing sticker bomb it to keep it JDM...also I'm gonna come up with some JDM name for it, to make it legit...
what do you guys think? I don't think I have to lacquer the inside of the intake tube...I mean with all the boost I'm running I must be keeping it dry...right? esp if I run a rain shield...
Paper marche intakes FTMFW!!!!!!1!!!! We will revolutionize the tuning world...who's with me?!
I wonder if that HVAC piping thread is mocking me...no matter...just to show you guys, this is what I have prototyped so far.
check out that sweet velocity stack...the possibilities are endless...
Re: Mazdaspeed Hall of Fame....or Shame
The answer to will this cause vibez.....
ok....you've just picked up your new mazdaspeed3, joined TM3 and are looking to mod your car...
You've just finished creating your "Hey guys new speed3 owner here" thread, and right away, you've received these comments:
-
- nice ride!
- welcome!
- holy wheel gap!
- great ride, now lower it!
- tints!
- delete your side moldings!
- get an RMM
what the f**** is an RMM? Ahh it's a rear motor mount but I hear it causes vibes...
You start browsing the classifieds section and you see a thread like "FS: Cp-e RMM 75duro"
right away you start posting stuff like....
- which one would be better for me? 60 duro or 75 duro?
- I hear there's vibes...will it bother me?
- how are the vibes?
- will I notice the vibes?
Put it this way...Mazda did not build these cars overnight. They were designed with a lot of factors in mind. One of those factors was comfort, so the engine mounts were designed to hold the engine in place with as little transfer of vibrations to the cabin as possible. Change that to something aftermarket and of course there will be a difference.
Here's an experiment for you guys:
Go find your girlfriend/wife's vibrator (she has one...you just need to look for it...), and see what batteries are in there...probably 2 AA's cranking out an awesome 3 volts.
Use your Mcguyver skills (all men have these) and connect that shit to a 12V car battery...do your best to conceal the cables...
Will she notice? You bet she'll notice. It'll work that ***** on a whole new level...will she like it? who knows...
Here's an experiment for you girls:
Go find your boyfriend/husband's PS3/Xbox controller and connect that shit to a 12V car battery...do your best to conceal the cables...
The first time after playing MW3 he'll think he was in f****ing Bosnia...will he like it? who knows....
If you're looking to get a RMM or any of the Motor Mounts for your speed3/6 ask yourself the following questions:
1. Am I a whiny bitch?
2. Am I a whiny bitch?
3. Do I NOT want to get all the available power from the wheels to the ground?
4. Will my girlfriend/wife leave me if the car is vibrating?
5. Will my boyfriend/husband leave me if the car is vibrating?
6. Did I buy this car to drive it like a bitch?
7. Did I buy this car purely for comfort because I know I'm a whiny bitch?
8. Am I a whiny bitch?
If you answered YES to any of the above questions, DO NOT BUY ANY MOTOR MOUNTS!!
It is very simple.....

Re: Mazdaspeed Hall of Fame....or Shame
New toy came in today from Garage16, a new Forge BPV v2 for my 2010 Speed 3. Service with Garage16 was great as always, Rick was always very responsive to all messages sent and made sure I knew where things were at as we waited for the product to come from Forge. Once it came in he had it out the door to ship to me the next day and I had it in my hands the business day after that. Can't beat thatAlso, proper paperwork with everything, no cash deals so my warranty is intact which is important to me. Finally, he offered me the best price out of everywhere I checked for done and out the door pricing so really all the bases covered.
As for the BPV itself. Sound is, interesting lol ninja death star like...definitely very noticable compared to stock. Performance though is great, the valve is very quick and responsive and keeps clamped under 19-20psi of boost unlike the stock one. Build quality and finish seems quite good on initial impression. I do like the sleeper look of it, along with most things in my engine bay as I'm not a big fan of flashy gear. I will reserve long term judgement for once I've lived with it for a while but so far so good!
And now, a couple pictures:
BUT HOLD ON ONE DAMN MINUTE!!!!

I understand why its important to be skeptical, but I do it "in hopes of"...in hopes that we can end bullshit like this, in hopes that we can show others on the wanted list that we dont accept this, and in hopes that one day the world can be a better place.
The thing I see is that they arent pushing for donations, but more for support, if they were all like "gimme your money and stfu" then I would be more skeptical, but they are saying, let the world know who this man is, and why we need to stop him, and with that the US will do what they can to end this tragedy. It all matters on what the people say!!
if you think about it carefully...all you really HAVE TO DO is go on the website and sign the pledge on the opening page of the website, your name goes down and you've done your part...thats all theyre asking...buying the material goods are simply YOUR CHOICE, that has no effect on the outcome of the movement. thats why I support this, and thats why I dont think is some kind of social media study/conspiracy.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the following is kind of irrelevant (LOL):
Today the FASTEST form of communication is social media. in less than 24 hours that video has 9 million views...thats why social media works. hating on the new form of communication is no good, because ultimately it is inevitable.
we are all using it here right now, for what? to learn about mazda3/mazdaspeed3. We use youtube, google, twitter, facebook, myspace (i dont thin anyone uses this lol) for the world wide information. I know that sooner or later some analyst is going to come up with numbers about how many tweets were made and how many facebook status...but thats their job.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Im not trying to say I'm right and your all wrong, just a good ol'fashon debate.

The day that the 2010+ speed3's became cool....
Do you have a shiny new 2010 MS3?
Do you think it's fast?
Do you want it to be faster?
Do you want the power to come on smoother?
Do you think you need a metric shit-ton of bolt-ons to keep up with an STI? (hehe ok well maybe)
Do you want to be cool like the rest of us?

Re: Informal MS3 Chat
Hey guys. As all know, I'm new to this car, but not cars in general and not even tuning in general. I've read a lot about the car and have a laundry list of mods I'd like to perform. First one being OCCs for both crank case and valve cover. The I'll probably do the suspension. I've already got my mind set on koni sports for now, since I can always throw a set of quality springs and rear camber arms later. My question is, how safe is the generic AP stock map for the ms3? I don't have any intake or exhaust mods. I'd like to see a bit better gas mileage and don't NEED any more power just right now. I'm more concerned with making the car as reliable as possible. More so than it was from the factory even as I know they blow shocks and in some cases, rods through the block. So would the generic stock tune map on the AP be for me, or would I be better just to get a dashhawk for now and just monitor my vitals since I'm leaving the motor stock for a long time anyway? Sorry if this is the total wrong section. I'm not new to forums either, but this seems to be an active thread...
Thanks in advance

ok, here's some non-ricer math to back things upok, here's some non-ricer math to back things up
according to Garrett's site, "What is my mass flow rate? As a very general rule, turbocharged gasoline engines will generate 9.5-10.5 horsepower (as measured at the flywheel) for each lb/min of airflow"
converting 266 g/s into lbs/min is 35.186 lbs/min ....325 / 35.186 = 9.2367 conversion from lbs/min to whp
292 g/s is 38.625 lbs/min .... 38.625 lbs/min * 9.2367 = 356.77 whp ... ~357 whp
