I doubt the SUV could run 14.5, Nevermind 13.0

Thanks for visiting the CX-7 site. Come back next year.

Wow, that is probably one of the most intelligent things I have read in a while. The CX-7 being a mini-cayenne? Just like the Mazda p5 is another "insert competitor" wagon. By the way, if you meant losing as in "you are losing this debate" try LOSING an "O". Also, as for a loss of performance by adding a blow-off valve, do you have a dyno graph to prove your point, as most people who make such a definitive statement back it up with fact. I don't believe CPE is staying in business by making in-effective parts that actually lose power. Whether or not a VTA blow-off valve will lose power or cause any problems with idle or CEL on the CX-7 is unknown but the blow-off valve is universal in the fact that it can be a VTA or a recirc. Also, I hardly think the stock Mazda blow-off will match the quality of the HKS, unless of course, they use a HKS.Brian MP5T said:This thread is Pure GOLD...
I read from start to finish and couldn't stop giggling...
Dudes and Dudetts, the entire thing started for me here on this forum for a couple of simple reasons
1. The Stock Recirc Valve is probably more effective at preventing compressor surge.
2. You probably are loosing HP inserting a massive vent into the intake.
3. You have voided any future service claims on your Mini-Cayenne.
Modifications are supposed to improve the performance, not void everything, result in a CEL and possible misfireing cylinders just so the ******* truck will sound like a tuner car..
The whole thing is s***. From Plan to Execution.
The MSP was upgraded with a BOV many times because the car by design had massive compressor surge, Stock. The BPV simply did not work, you could actually hear it clearly, it was called turkey... Search, there are thousands of threads on it. The CX-7 with the DISI was not designed quickly, it shares a platform with several new offerings by Mazda, they went out of their way to kill the compressor surge, fix the bottom end and economy problems from their first attempt. The BPV is designed to keep the turbine spooled during shifts. Venting too much and you have just lost your spool. The BPV will give the engine a more constant flow in it's stock form so I do not need to see a dyno for it.xavier said:Also, as for a loss of performance by adding a blow-off valve, do you have a dyno graph to prove your point, as most people who make such a definitive statement back it up with fact.

Do me a favor and drink the Cool-Aid first...xavier said:Thanks though
and May God Bless you and yours
Mazda3 said:FWIW I think the BOV is a silly thing to put on the CX-7 as well. I will be getting the CAI, but the BOV serves no purpose on this vehicle for me. However there was no mention by P5 dude on his opinion of the BOV, he slammed the CX-7 in general for no reason, really has no reason to even venture into this part of the forum. That is why I joined in the melee. No one here thinks the CX-7 is a racecar. However if CP-E makes some mods that will give me a little more power I will scoop them up. Still won't be "fast" by my terms, but it will make it a more enjoyable daily driver.
At anyrate neither the CX-7 or this dudes 13sec P5 are fast as far as I'm concerned. And I do know an asshole when I see one.
