(fyi, SRI install before dyno wouldn't make a diff)Quote:

Great idea, count me in. Btw, did he unhook the battery terminal to reset the ecu after mounting the intake? If not I have heard it takes at least 100km's of driving for the ECU to figure the new air fuel ratios. Was the tuner monitering the A/F ratios during the runs?
The Intake will take a bit to fully re-learn, as its a very adaptive ECU, and even with the tires, I cant seem to figure out why there would be a 40WHP difference between James and this car. Only way to REALLY tell is to throw them both on the dyno at the same day etc ;)

no, he didn't unhook the battery terminal after the intake install. he was monitoring the A/F ratios though and didn't point out anything unusual.Quote:

and that i would be down for! our cars are virtually the same. i'm sure he'll agree to it after we install our AP's this spring.Quote:

To bad your car wasnt out now James, for $30 it would be a fun test for sure.
oh i know for $30 i'd bring it anyways just for fun... and you could help me remove those interior pieces i can't get off so that i could get them in and started so they would be done in a few weeks :chuckleQuote:

I'll pay half your dyno, and cut you a deal on your CF stuff ;)
-John
Oh man how i'd love to take it out but it is off insurance on a signed will not be driven until April deal... will still meet up tomorrow and if you are heading back to the 401 you can follow me back and help me pop them off lol. i can give you a $dp for the cf tooQuote:

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 :)
-John
sweet, thanks. PM me if you don't mind so i can swing by for a p/u, John.Quote:

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..
http://www.mazda3forums.com/index.php?topic=61115.0
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 game:) make 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.Quote:

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)Quote:

whitespeed3 just posted his pull from that place in KW FYI if you wanted to see a bit of the shopQuote:

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 ;)
-John
i wouldn't count on it lol... i plan on going back later this spring once ap and any other power toys are on to compareQuote:
