    Highest MAF g/s on a k04

    Just finished a protune with Freek and hit 268g/s on 93 octane while on a pull in 50 degree F temps a few weeks ago. Original k04, original owner, most bolt ons (intake, TMIC, etc) but stock exhaust with just a high flow secondary cat. What's the highest g/s for a k04 car that anyone's aware of...

    [SOLVED] Possible boost creep issue (20psi at 5k rpm)

    What's up fellow Mazdaspeed monks - I've got a '12 MS3, owned by me since new, 119k now, the usual bolt ons with the exception of a DP. Stratified tuned by Nolan about four years ago. I've left the car alone since that tune with the exception of adding a Turbosmart Kompact BPV to replace the...

    Boost leak diagnosis via datalog?

    Car feels like it's running fine, yet I swear I hear what sounds like the "woooshhh" that's characteristic of a boost leak. The attached datalog appears to show that things are in order as well (MAF G/S feels a little low for a car given tune and mods, but I'm hitting 21psi - it's been humid, so...

    Clutch/flwheel slip went away?

    Guys, Last year, I was seeing some clutch slip at full throttle on the highway (just fifth gear, never fourth) that I attributed to a failing DMF or dying OEM clutch, as I'm at 112k. I went out and bought a LUK/Fidanza setup in preparation for a clutch job. After trying Enki's clutch deglazing...

    Koni FSD/Special Active on lowering springs?

    Anyone have this combo? I've been on Oranges for the last 70k and the ride is starting to feel harsher. Or, maybe I'm just getting old and soft. I emailed Koni directly about using the Special Actives (reds, formerly known as FSDs) with my Eibach Pro-Kits and they advised against it, claiming...

    5th gear clutch slip/deglazing?

    Looks like my clutch is finally on its way out after 111,000 miles. It's had a long life at 280whp, so it has done its duty and then some. Right now, it's only slipping at WOT in 5th gear, which isn't something I need frequently, and is still holding at all other times. Two questions - Would it...

    Website activity and improvements incoming and how to find new posts

    Looks like the last new front page post here was back in 2019? The Reddit Mazdaspeed sub sucks, is full of kids with broken 180k mile cars, and because it's Reddit, long term knowledge retention for the community is impossible. I don't do FB groups. If this place goes, there will be literally no...

    Seicane Android Auto install

    Yes, it's a little wonky (my upper dash display reads "Raise Tech" for no discernable reason and I haven't been able to get SWC to work yet), yes the stock launcher and menus are full of Engrish and are terribly laid out, but I scored this head unit for $100 new from Seicane on closeout. This...

    ECU Learning & driver habits

    Hey guys, Question for those of you who are savvy on the inner workings of the MS3 ECU. I've had my Speed (mostly bolted, Stratified tuned) for almost 10 years and have been doing a lot of boring driving as of late - kid daycare dropoffs, grocery runs, etc. I have stretches of multiple days...

    Stutter at low throttle openings

    This is a weird one. For the last month or so, I'm noticing this odd stutter at very low throttle openings - essentially, when at cruise or barely accelerating. It feels like a momentary buck or stutter and always happens at between 2 and 3,000rpm. I've checked for vacuum leaks and everything...

    MS3 as a weekend car?

    I've just crossed 100k miles on my mostly bolted '12 and knock on wood, it seems pretty healthy. But these are quirky cars, and I'm getting to a point where I need a dead reliable vehicle to get around during the week - something that isn't running 60whp more than factory and doesn't have k04...

    Stratified Stage 3 93 Tune - Log Review

    Was previously tuned by Dizzy and was very happy with it, but after going in for a tune touch up and finding out that he has abandoned AP V2 support, I went over to Stratified for an OTS+ Stage 3 93 tune. How does this log look? This is after one tune revision - they had to pull a little bit of...
