MazdaSpeed 3 on Dyno Dynamics - VIDEO!

Well, finally got on the dyno, it was a lot of fun. Final results were 230WHP and 270TQ. I knew before hand the nose dive after 5600 rpms and that this thing runs pig rich. Seeing the graphs first hand makes it very apparent that with a good tune this thing will make a lots more power just by leaning it out. Check out the heat soak issue after my initial first run (top lines are HP, lower lines are TQ), definitely need a larger TMIC or FMIT setup in the future. The guys at Hot Rod Imports really spent time explaining everything they were doing and I learned a lot. I hope to be back soon.

This was done on a Dyno Dynamics machine. The Dyno Dynamics dyno reads lower than the Mustang dyno, it reads WAY lower than a Dyno Jet. It also reads WAY lower than a Dynapack. The important factor is that this dyno is very accurate. Going with the other dyno's would have printed much higher readings but I would rather have accuracy than bragging rights.

I pieced this video together of a few runs, graphs and a test drive at the end. I will record a few more videos once I receive the Turboxs CBE and downpipe, probably take another hit at the dyno as well (lol2)


Here is the video

Do you have the before runs by any chance? Also, did they hook up the A/F ratio sensors? Finally, did they have fans blowing in the front of the car and was the hood open or closed?

That was the majority of the runs (3 solid pulls). They did hook up the sensors and I was horribly rich (like that is any suprise). They had a fan in front of the car. We did pulls with the hood down and up, after the heatsoak set in, it didn't matter what you did with the fan. I will post my boost graph up in just a few minutes so you can check it out. Without a doubt, this car will perform much better with a good tune, lots of areas for improvement.
