I prefer my dyno dynamics dyno numbers over inflated dynojets.
Plus the only numbers that matter are the ones at the track.

no joking.
went to a Dyno Day with some buddies from my Subaru period. mostly Legacies and WRX/STIs running. I tossed up my essentially stock Speed3 about midday and, needless to say, it got a boat load of attention!
![]()
performance mods only ETS 3.25" TMIC and K&N panel filter
stock intake box, stock exhaust
other mods are brakes/suspension related only
I can tell you a bunch of Suby guys are talking about the Speed3 right now.....and probably thinking about going to a Mazda dealership for a test drive!
ZOOM ZOOM!!! (dance)
Funny, nice title for this thread considering YOUR MS3 is not ESSENTIALLY STOCK.
I've been to the track 3 times in about two months. I dare say that I've got more track miles than any other Speed3 in the country! going again in two weeks (naughty)
but if you mean the 1/4-mile strip, that's not my cup of tea. Besides, the Speed3 is a byotch to launch hard. I much prefer "real" tracks where I can open it up for miles on end without fear of cops.
ok... ive been reading... and reading... and doing some more reading... not to say that your not pulling 300whp 300wft/tq(realisticly)...with the stock turbo...
we got just about the same mods, except the turbo xs test pipe... because thats just what it is when you have a restrictive downpipe, and restrictive exhaust behind it....
but i disagree with your "faster i got, more hp" theory you got going... i've owned a s*** load of cars... from just about every hybrid honda motor.. to a turbo 98 M3.. so i'm speaking from experience when i say.....bulls***... you could max out to 155mph everyday till you burn.... well you get my drift..!
oh and yeah...@ what rpms are you launching your car? cause hard is not that way to go... since your at the track every month.... i'm at the track@ englishtown/raceway park n.j EVERY wed. night..

wow.......(piss)
for having read it over & over & over again.....you missed lots of points badly.
let me try to address you way-off-base conclusions one at a time:
1. never said 300/300 at the wheels. its 260/300 (read the thread title again) if you choose not to believe the dyno graph or think that its a fake or forgery then be my guest. I suppose the gov't blew up the towers too. (shady)
2. "faster = more hp" what I'm saying is that by regularly driving my MS3 briskly, the ECU tends to learn and adjust to optimize performance. most modern ECUs work this way. I do not claim the car gets any faster TOP-SPEED by running it fast. Its all about how the ECU adapts the 3-D mapping tables. There must be some truth to this or some other related reason that my absolutely stock ECU is running AFRs much better (higher across the rpm range) than a typical Speed3 or when it was dyno'd in the first month.
3. I spend lots of time at the TRACK. A real track. You know the kind with pits, a starting line, turns, hills, straight-aways etc. That's a TRACK. What you are thinking of is called a DRAG STRIP. I don't go to the strip. I much prefer the prolonged excitement and thrills of 20 to 30 minute sessions of hot lapping on a TRACK. Don't really see the fun in a 13-14 sec. sprint.
4. (see 3 above) I don't launch my car. Period. Not necessary when you go to the TRACK.

How do you like the DP? I'm ordering mine tomorrow from Ken. I think that I'm going to leave the CB all stock.
I love my exhaust so much...it's exactly how I wanted it...The DP kicks ass! The extension they give you to fix the CEL works. I got CELs for the first 3 weeks! Then they told me to take out the extension drill the hole out to 13/32 and it's been fine since! I talked to Derrick, but they are really cool there and will help you with whatever you need. He even ask me to keep following up with him to make sure they fixed the problem. I definitely reccomend them.

IC. Well I don't like the fact that you CEL for 3 weeks. I can't have that on my DD BUT i do believe that they have put in some time and effort in development and it will be a nice addition to the current setup. I've talked with Cork for a while and they seem to be hands on... NO REPLACEMENT FOR quality customer service.
I will be able to use my current midpipe so this should be interesting. (eekdance)
Hey man I'm with you on this....full support. ...Guys it's not right...everyone asks for dyno results, then when you get them, all you do is bash people... Anyways man that's a good thing to look foward to. All the mods I have listed below and my car runs like a champ...I need to get mine on the dyno again...
Well good luck! Oh and the light only came on after like a week of driving...then I reset the battery and it was fine....I just reccomend drilling out the extension first. Talk to derrick at Corksport and tell him you talked to Michael Sprofero about the extension being drilled out and see what his reccomendation is....
Talked to him this am... They all now come with the drilled out extension. (alright) You had one of the first... thanks. Calling Ken now.
Riiiiiight (uhm)(braindead. So your 3150 lbs car, with 222whp from a supposedly low reading dyno trapped 100 mph. My Legacy GT, which weighs 3450 lbs trapped at exactly the same speed at LACR which is a VERY slow track (typically 5000ft DA, and it runs uphill at the end). At that time it made 255whp on the same "generous" dyno that ZooZoom ran on. You are welcome to run the numbers through any of the online quarter mile calculators, but you'll find that your dyno numbers are no where near as "conservative" as you might want to believe, and by the same token the Dynojet at Yimi Sport Tuning is not "inflated"
