They absolutely love cold air. In Vancouver our winters are mild (without much snow) and we recently tuned a local and very clean 2007 MazdaSpeed 3 with the following set of modifications:<\/p>\n<p><strong>SURE Motorsports Products:<\/strong><br \/>\nTorq 3 &#8211; Rear Engine Mount<br \/>\nCountershift &#8211; shifter weight<br \/>\nAnchors &#8211; shifter brushings<br \/>\nShortcut &#8211; short shifter plate<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cobb Tuning Products:<\/strong><br \/>\nAccess Port vs2<br \/>\nTurbo Inlet Hose<br \/>\nXLE BPV &#8211; bypass valve<br \/>\nShort Ram Intake<br \/>\nDownpipe<br \/>\nCurrent map &#8211; Stage2+\u201dIntake\u201d+TIH 94 v210 &lt;&#8211; (i think its 210 or 220 &#8211; basically the newest)<\/p>\n<p><strong>T1R products:<\/strong><br \/>\nCarbon Fiber Oil Catch Can (used for the Cobb PCV fix to stop oil from burning in exhaust)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Denso Products:<\/strong><br \/>\nITV22 1 Step Colder Spark Plugs (gapped at 0.28)<\/p>\n<p><strong>CP-E Products:<\/strong><br \/>\nMZR DISI 2.3 HPFpump<br \/>\nTriple Gauge Pod (with Boost, Oil -Pressure &amp; Temp)<\/p>\n<p>The car was well setup and on one of the COBB&#8217;s latest off the shelf calibrations. As I mentioned in previous posts, Vancouver fuel quality leaves a lot to be desired, so the tune had to strike a good balance between power and safety for the modifications installed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/stratifiedauto.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/2007-MazdaSpeed-3-Tune-Vancouver.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-223\" title=\"2007 MazdaSpeed 3 Tune Vancouver\" src=\"https:\/\/stratifiedauto.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/2007-MazdaSpeed-3-Tune-Vancouver-300x181.jpg\" alt=\"2007 MazdaSpeed 3 Tune Vancouver\" width=\"300\" height=\"181\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stratifiedauto.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/2007-MazdaSpeed-3-Tune-Vancouver-300x181.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.stratifiedauto.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/2007-MazdaSpeed-3-Tune-Vancouver.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Virtual Dyno graph attached (click to enlarge) shows the progression from the beginning of the day (<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">RED &#8211; COBB OTS Stage 2 map<\/span>) to the final <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">BLUE &#8211; Stratified tune<\/span>. Lots of midrange power was gained (<strong>+35 ft lbs of torque, +10 whp<\/strong>) &#8230; but unfortunately the top end was robbed by poor fuel quality. The stock K04 just won&#8217;t flow up past 5500 RPM so the only way to make power is through timing advances and our fuel just won&#8217;t allow it without knocking. In the name of safety we had to keep timing conservative compared to the OTS map.<\/p>\n<p>Happy New Year,<\/p>\n<p>The Stratified Team<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stratified Automotive Controls Tunes a 2007 Mazdaspeed3 in Vancouver, Canada <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stratifiedauto.com\/blog\/vancouver-mazdaspeed-3-winter-tune\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":223,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-212","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tuning"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stratifiedauto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stratifiedauto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stratifiedauto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stratifiedauto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stratifiedauto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=212"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/www.stratifiedauto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":222,"href":"https:\/\/www.stratifiedauto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212\/revisions\/222"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stratifiedauto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/223"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stratifiedauto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=212"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stratifiedauto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=212"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stratifiedauto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=212"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
