Mazda MazdaSpeed3 accelerates from 59-133 MPH with TS BOV

[rayraychowder]

yeah. i use shell 93 (the only good quality gas here) and i still dont pull past 5500. lol

[sk8at1224]

probably shouldnt bring your car to redline like that. you loose all your power after ~5500rpms

[wisniaPl628]

but he gains on top edn which is good when you racing with someone

[SSbnoonSS]

0-60, 0-100, 0-120 my MS3 is far quicker shifting at about 57-5800 RPM vs. pushing it to redline. On a stock turbo/cams and even with bolt ons, nothing is gained by revving it higher.

[wisniaPl628]

so why im shifting at 5,5k car bug a bit and evoe or other shit is passing me I rather go to 6.5-7k

[theguy1224]

Cause the stock turbo runs out of efficiency past 6k rpms. Why bring it higher than you're losing power??

[Atheismrulez]

What are you talking about? He was shifting at 6000 RPM, and the redline is at 6200 RPM.

[rayraychowder]

okay, but still. he shouldn't shift that late. due to the small size of the k04 the MS3 looses a lot of power after ~5500 RPMs so he should shift around there, not where he is shifting.

@rayraychowder ...tuned

[chabbalato]

The MS3s in Europe seem to pull more consistently at high RPM when stock compared to american ones... i'm sure it has to do with the quality of fuel

[rayraychowder]

but still. this is an american mazdaspeed3...

[chabbalato]

yes, so it seems to be american by the dual rated speedo with mph as primary. but I was jus saying that the difference appears to be the fuel quality used, which doesnt cause the ecu to pull boost as much...just an observation. I know 94 octane makes a big difference over 91 here

[eclipse3248]

@chabbalato euro has 250 hp version, american has more which is 265 hp.

[Morthelion]

@eclipse3248 Germany = 260 hp
