Had the excellent opportunity to go down to So Cal for a MazdaSpeed Dyno Day at Church’s dyno facilities! The guys and gals there are a great group of enthusiasts and hosts and we all had a blast. Below are some pictures and sheets from the event.
First up was a Big Turbo MazdaSpeed6. This car was running a Precision 6031 turbo at 24-25psi, external wastegate, and a host of supporting mods including pre and post turbo water/methanol injection. He was getting tuned by Dustin Jones at PERM tuning and they were wrapping up VVT advance tweaks when Derek did his initial dyno pull. He put down a very healthy 405 whp. With just a couple of tweaks to timing and VVT advance Derek walked away with 431whp on the stock block which is very impressive. This was the highest horsepower car at the event – great job on building this beast Derek! It’s a mean street machine, sounds and looks the part.
Notice the Stratified Guardian Angel below watching over any overboost conditions and keeping the engine safe.
A few Gen2 MazdaSpeed3’s dynoed as well. The car below is John’s bolted Speed3 and this is the first iteration of a Stratified Custom Tune on his car. No E85 used here and he hit an even 300 whp and 370 ft lbs of torque on California 91 octane fuel.
A mild 25% mix of E85 does wonders on the MazdaSpeed cars. The following car is another bolted second generation MS3 with a Stratified E85 Custom Tune. This customer was able to hit 400 ft lbs of torque and 338whp! This is still on the stock turbo and engine.
All in all, a great time was had by all, and I thank the Nator group of enthusiasts of So Cal for the gracious hosting and excellent times! Hope to be back there soon. A couple of more images below!
