GT3071R Bolt On Turbo Kit for Mazdaspeed 3

My ms3 loves race gas

 

[palerider]

Screw race gas. Im lucky to put 93 in my car half the time. Ive been using 87 to help me save for that turbo I have ordered. Once the turbo goes on.... I'll only have 2-3 more months of using the cheap stuff. Then it will be like I got the turbo 1/2 price.

 

[redrocketz]

are you seriously running 87 in your car? that is not wise and you save what maybe $3 a tank...

 

[Dream]

Hey guys, Dream says dont run racegas so dont do it. Ill just keep on doing it and going faster than the rest of ya! LOL Race gas is gods gift to those who dont settle for what pump gas has to offer. Ive ran 100s of gallons in the last three cars Ive owned and nothing but good results here. Not to mention the 10s of thousands of evo and srt owners that dump that s*** into their tank everyday and turn the wick up. Those guys must all have bad bearings! (cryhard)

I guess Jorge doesnt know what he's talking about then.(jerkit) Your ghetto ass way of cranking the boost and running race gas with no tune is just that, ghetto. Will you make more power? Yes. Will your motor blow up? Probably not. Is it the RIGHT way to go about upping the boost on a car? NO. Anybody that thinks differently should really sell there cars and buy a civic. Good luck to you guys.

Edit, also. I ran 110 oct. race gas in my STi 90% of its life, but I was TUNED for it. Race gas is the shizzle, I had a 100whp difference from my pump to race gas map. Just do it the smart way people!

come on Zach...lol My sense of humor runs dry. Wasnt anybody posting so I figured Id draw a response with that one... hopefully a chuckle too.

Ill say it publically. He doesnt know what the **** he is talking about. Ive been drag racing longer than you have been driving. Ive NEVER had bearing issues using race gas and that statement just makes me want to punch you in the throat. You CAN crank the boost up on these cars without a tune because they run RICH! This is Direct Injection incase you forgot.

Its ok Dream... your name fits you perfectly.. you can only DREAM of being a true car enthusiast.

Race gas can serve 2 purposes.. Increased timing and boost or used as a safety margin. You import guys kill me sometimes.

I don't understand why can't we understand the higher the octane the better it conbusts therefore making the engine run cooler and less of a chance of detonation. The only reason you would TUNE to use race gas is to get the most power possible, but you can still safely run 110 off the showroom floor without any issues. Unless I'm mistaken, then chime in.

This is why me and you would get along just fine. This Dream guy spits out nothing but what others tell him. Ive been tuning, building, and racing import cars for over 10 years now. If used right race gas is very beneficial. Though my childish ways of looking at things is whats gonna put me ahead of guys like Dream who have no balls and drag race with their tail between their legs to fill the void. LOL.

Ps. I love you guys I just hate, when someone says, he said she said. Try it for yourself Dream and see yourself. Throw some 110 in your car. Turn the boost up to 22psi and see how much faster it pulls. Id be willing to bet my ass that 22psi on 110 is safer than 18psi on pump. In fact Im pretty positive. Now throwing race gas in at 14psi is probably a waste. No need and no benefit. But around 18-24psi you would have less chance of pulling timing and having any chance of detonation. Plus you could run a leaner afr and gain even more power. Thats the point of it. Not to just throw it in there. Im sure 90% of us are smarter than that. When Im on pump I tune for around 11.5ish. When on race gas I tune for 12.5ish. That little bit adds whp trust me.

You are very right. You can throw that s*** in there bone stock and not hurt a thing. Probably wouldnt gain anything, but it might just help a tad. I had it in there with testpipe and bc and ran 108 traps at 22-18psi. So I know it works.

 

[Ziggo]

As long as it isn't leaded you are not doing any harm. The 110 octane I have seen at motorcycle trackdays has all been leaded, but the guys tuned to use it never had cats anyways.

In any case, increasing the octane rating of the gas you are using is pretty much useless if thats the only thing you are doing. The higher the octane rating; the less energy it contains. It burns slower and is harder to ignite, thus making it great for keeping the detonation bogyman away, but if you haven't tuned the car then you shouldn't have to worry about detonation anyway.

So basically what your saying is throw some race gas in and turn the boost up and your safe? Please clarify for me? Punch me in the throat? What do you have some kind of anger problem? Sure they run rich stock, Mazda did that on purpose so idiots like you guys dont blow up, then you map clamp, crank the boost and throw in some leaded race fuel and think your ok. And I think its funny that the cars that have blown up on here, they blame it on Mazda, man. defect. LOL

Now I see why people like Cobb and other vendors refuse to come to this site. Ricers.

stick a map clamp, crank the boost up and throw some leaded race fuel in an evo and a mazda and see which one blows quicker. Not blaming it all on mazda but the parts they put into these motors could be a lot better quality.

Dude, im not disagreeing with you here! Of course if you throw in some 110 and crank the boost its going to be faster, im not disagreeing with you at all about that. I guess I come from the world of tuning Subaru's and I ALWAYS tuned for my mods. I never just threw on a b/c and turned it up, I just didnt feel safe about that. They even ran RICH in stock form. Different strokes for differnt folks I guess.

We would too if we could. Since we can't what Driver has done is the best he/we can do with out scenario. It works.(inout)

[TRSpeed3]

well. i think the only 2 people in the current running for the fastest ms3 is me and palerider ;D

Dont sell yourself short....Dont know what i got going on...lulz(spank)

 

[mazdaspeedjay]

You said everyone that has blown their motors were running boost cut defenders ? Were these the ATP or whom ever spacer that goes in between the MAP sensor and your screwed if you over boost or was anyone running map clamps that are adjustable when they blew their motors?

um and about the whole caliber thing mentioned before. i'd love to see a MS3 vs caliber shoot out day at a 1/4 mile track and not this crap i've been readin in motor trend and motor week where they take two stock cars. i'm talking about forum vs forum guess it would be smart to break everything into a couple classes like stock ( says itself no mods just stock ) , semi stock ( i.e. bolt ons only no turbo ugrades nitrous or meth ) , and a renegade class" couldn't think of a better name " ( this class is anything goes , nitrous , meth inj. , turbo ugrades ,etc. ) i'd drive anywhere to see that and like driver311 i use to own a srt4 prior to my speed 3. I was actually going to buy the caliber srt4 till my dealership got it and i drove it and it was nothing like the speed 3 and not worth the money. i work at a dealership that sells both the mazdaspeed line up and the dodge srt line up and both compared i did like my old neon srt4 but the caliber compared to my speed 3 i've driven both and much happier when i drove the speed 3 but i'm not starting not want to start a whole which is better the caliber or 3 so please don't change topics i'm just giving my opinion and i saw someone mentioned something like this a couple pages ago.

 

[redrocketz]

it's usually called outlaw class for all out cars...

Ricers? I know that comment wasnt meant toward me... On the other hand, since you seem to know dicksquat about these engines, cranking the boost to 18 psi does nothing to cause harm.

I do have an anger problem towards people like you who constantly make asinine statements based off what they hear, not what they know.

Why would i run leaded race gas when i can get 109 unleaded? I have yet to see one MS3 blow up.. they have all been MS6's, so what does that tell you?

Problem is youre a wanna be. You probably drive a corolla for gods sake. Come back when you got a car with some balls, than you can line up with my pickup and see how well you do.

This is truly why this forum sucks major balls.

Subies blow up if they arent tuned. They arent direct inject.. Same goes for Cobras, Lightnings, Z28's, SRT-4s or whatever else out there using traditional fuel injection. DI has a higher lean rate and these cars are pigass rich from the factory. Again, do your homework and research before spouting off.
