yep. when i ran one, it was like a 40 roll. i put like a car on him from the kick then he started comin back slowly so i quickly let off. haha.

 

omg shut up. i was just talking to that one guy that came off as a dick to me. no one else, no beef with 2.2's from anyone else. Im sure they can be monstors, but that dudes with his mods, and they way he replied to me, is NOT.

ANYway....

yeah tahts basically exaclty what happened with us. fun race though, def not a waste of gas like some cars are.

 

speed3's have top end no denying it...

bump up the timing.. whats your afr?

 

right around 11.3 to 11.5 ish.

 

to the op dont real bad, my brother has a ms3 and they respond to mods so great and it is very easy to get power out of em. They are very fast. With basic bolt ons they can push 300whp easily. My brother went to the track with slicks intake and turboback and ran a 12.7. They are no whor

 

i had a run in with a ms3 a few months back i was actually getting on a highway ramp which is pretty long i cut the ms3 off and he didn't take to kindly to that so as we get on the highway i see him coming up behind me and so i downshift. See, i didn't know it was a ms3 i thought it was just a regular mazda 3 hatch anyways with downshift and all he was still pulling up to me quick and as he got to my right right i looked at him and he flipped me off and was yelling and **** i just laughed and flipped him off. The funny thing is i wasn't trying to **** with him on the ramp i was really trying to antagonize the civic si that was behind him, lol.

 

2.2 Owners are gonna burn your house down.

 

damn. people getting butthurt so easily...


anyways, please tell me you arent using a stage 2 tune with methanol...

if your seeing 11.3 - 11.5 on your wideband you could definitely see a few more hp by leaning it out to 11.7-11.9. bump the timing to 23* - 24*.

and yes, the extra 150lb passenger will cost you about a tenth in a quartermile pull so it very well could have made the difference in the race. NEVER race with passengers. not only does it slow you down, but you put them in danger. you will be in deep **** should something happen to them. Do not want to open that can of worms...

Also, as someone said, the ms3 gets wicked with even minor mods. so dont feel bad.

 

no lie man...

thanks man, good input there. nah im not on a canned tune. its tuned for the meth.

 

Thats funny, MS3's are nothing for me
























IM KIDDING...im a 2.2 and can barely beat base RSX's with my 13k car and 3k turbokit

 

lets not get too happy here..... 230 ish whp / 250 ish wtq stock.

As u were.

 

my mom drives a 2.2 she won't get in the car with me in my ss/sc lol

 

well, realistically thats probably what there at, but if were doing magazine racing, there rated at 263 hp, 280 tq. but we all know how magazine ratings go right?

 

forgot a tune and injectors I bet

thats why Im basing mine off actual dynos from the MS3, none of that crank BS. Crank doesnt mean crap if u have awful PT loss.

whp > crank hp

 

Dude for being an ass in your first post to this epic pwn later...you earned e-points with me.

In a nutshell though:

Oh well.

You lost to a pretty quick car. It happens.

 

ha thanks man. yeah i know it happens. I dont think ive raced anyone decent since ive put most of my perf mods on, and i was sayin on RLF, that last winter i raced someone, and from that race i found out my car was not running right. So thats a reason i posted this too, just to see how those run and where i should be at compared to run to see if the car is still runnin right, ya know.

nice bike btw.

 

nah hes just a slow crappy driver

 

^lol or that...

 

rlf doesn't want to load up for me for some reason... idk

i'll try looking it up in a bit, gtg to work...

but anyway, at the time, i don't know (doubt it) if the ms3 had any mods, but i was stage 2 only with the airbox mod. that's it

 

hehehe. Nah dude, I have faith in ur abilities.

Seriously though, Im thinking it might be a tuning issue. Might want to see how its running on a dyno. Stage 2 is a decent tune to start with

 

I had two ecounters at the track with ms3s. The first one i ran i beat, he said he had a manual boost controller and that was it. I ran 14.4 he ran 14.6. The next ime i went to the track there were two more up there. I run the first one, i hit 14.3 he hits 14.4 but i think he had a bad 60ft. I ask him what he has, he says manual boost controller at 17psi. Then i run the next one, i run 14.2 he runs 13.7. It was quick, i ask him what he has, OH ****, could you guess? Yes, a manual freaking boost controller. So i dont know if these guys where lying to me, but those things where all over the board for just having a boost controller. I guess one guy had his cranked up more or something

 

well..ill stick with it either being a tuning issue, or he has stuff done to it that was installed before he bought it and he doesnt know. its not TOO car saavy, so i dont think he would know if something was on there thats aftermarket. oh well, thanks guys.

 

No he had no tune and they dont even make bigger injectors for this car yet. Its direct injectored, with a cam driven fuel pump

See MS3's dont do well with only boost controllers because they get boost cut and there boost spikes. If there computer read to much boost it cuts boost instantly

 

wow seems like ur takin a lot of **** the wrong waay.. im not goin to say you dont know how to drive but MS3s are slow. end.. no idea why you wouldnt beat him with the mods you have.. sounds like somethins wrong.

 

bro what im i takin offensive. See here it goes again though, half the people on here say its a fair loss, other half says there slow i should have won. first of all, have u ever raced one? there not slow....end.
