lol 0.34 knock retard is nothing....
as far as AFR its perfectly fine for the car..... lol for NA

 

[SPEED3TYPE2]

you do understand that NA AFR's are different then Boosted AFR ??
NA loves to be at 13.0-13.5 makes more power that way..
i decided to go richer... 12.5-12.8 to get some more timing, and get more torque..
lol

btw.. u did realize what u said right ?
and yes.. i am monitoring knock retard... im getting 0.34 lol (aka road noise)

Ahh grasshoppa you me be correct, I know about the speed3 maybe its different for N/A. (thought)

yup
after intake manifold i might go a little leaner to around 13-13.3 on WOT to make some more power out of it

Yeah I agree .34 kr is no biggie. Hey have you ever considerd getting methenol injection since your advancing timing? I have it for my turbo and I love it.

no reason to get it on stock compression... if i went to 11.1 pistons then idk.. idk about methanol on NA cars...
all i want is all motor around 200 whp and ill be happy

Thats cool man! Its a nice 3!

 

[lucaspl88]

thanks man a lot of hard work put into it
sweat and blood too lol

methanol on NA wtf lol........lol actually do'z it!!

 

[Captain KRM P5]

i want to see some nitrous

 

[Strato.Blue.3]

^^^ tell him to buy my nitrous kit then lol

 

[Captain KRM P5]

i've got one here waiting for him. or you.

 

[Strato.Blue.3]

ive already got the best kit son!

 

[TheMAN]

I still like to see someone convert their 2.3 motors to the JDM version that has higher compression, just like the 06-08 mazda6 2.3s

Err what's funny about methanol on NA?

 

[Strato.Blue.3]

pointless really on a 4banger....with no real power....v8's would juice it

 

[Strato.Blue.3]

the cooling factor will help out...but IMO its like trying to run race gas on a na mazda 3

 

[Strato.Blue.3]

Naturally aspirated/stock compression: With naturally aspirated engines with less than 10:1 compression, water/methanol is used typically in warm climates to get the intake temps back to 60f. Benefits include: 10-15 HP increases from air density increases and full timing, Increased gas mileage, and carbon free combustion chambers. Activation is by a throttle switch adjusted for onset engine load. With this application, the nozzle is sized so that no more than 10% of total fuel consumption at peak flywheel HP is injected.

Errrh... what?

4-cylinder Mazda3 + Methanol = $$$ = Brand new V8 car = $$$$$? Does not compute.

 

[Strato.Blue.3]

i can see how ur confused, cause your confusing me.

basicly if you aint running High compression, or a v8, or turbo, its somewhat pointless....although the cooling effect can be beneficial for intake temps....

Increased ignition advance, leaner fuel mixtures. Etc.
