That is a stock car with the stage 1 only. Maurice reported that a test car with Borla had more power, but there is no dyno plot from that yet. I am sure there will be tos more posted in the next couple of days as things get a little calmer for him.

Just like everyone had said... over 5k the thing is quicker. Now the plot proves it.
That is a significant bump... and one worth getting, IMHO! Ok, I need the car first, but that mod is mighty tempting.
It'll be cool to hear the reviews when people start getting them installed. :D

That's sweet. It looks like the car should really take off after 5k RPMs.
It is also nice to see that the dyno plot is much smoother after 7k RPMs. Nice job Maurice!

Maurice and stage 1 elfs great work .wowwwwwww.
I am going to be a happy little vegemite if the Australian cars show same levels of performance gains .( BONZA )
Maurice i have set up all the testing crew and equipment needed to test the stage 1 kit for the Australian cars .
All i need is the actual STAGE 1 KIT.
Cheers

Looks like a great gain, but I'm a little dissapointed that the stock car dyno'd so low. With the 238hp advertised crank hp, we should be up in the 190 range (or at least close to it) with a stock car. I was hoping to be around 205rwhp after the stage1 mod so we could finally have the power we originally expected.
Nevertheless, the improvement looks great and I'll definitely be purchasing the kit. PLEASE someone send me the orderform or price list or something. I sent canzoomer an email over a week ago and haven't received a response.

It's a third-gear pull, which gives 1000rpm/10mph, near as dammit. Simply multiply the X-axis units by 100 for RPM.

Gordon,
Even though it is a bit disturbing I think that Canzoomer's numbers are correct. If you remember back in August when Mazda announced the revised Hp, a lot of people still felt that 238 was overly optimistic and didn't correspond well with the dyno runs that had been done.
A lot of us took Mazda's word on the Hp and blamed the low numbers on the ECU going into safe mode. Well Maurice has found a way around the safe mode and his numbers are still low.
On the upside, his Stage I fuel controller is making sizable gains and it gets us much closer to the car that we thought we had purchased.

I've also noticed that cars seem to dyno very differently at times. My first time on a dyno with the stock car gave me 189. I'll be getting some more runs in when I get my stage 1 to also see if the greddy exhaust is doing anything.
But I need mah stage 1!

Well, dyno numbers are sketchy at best. Depends on the dyno itself, conditions, dyno operator, etc. The only thing to put stock in is something like Maurice's numbers here... because they're done on the same dyno, the same day by the same operator. Just compare the "before" and "after"... don't try to compare his dyno results to another done somewhere else.
As for the low stock numbers, it's possible altitude played a factor there if uncorrected like Gordon said.
Also, like Speed said, the factory numbers still felt optimistic. Here's my take on that:
Mazda dynos = overestimate
BMW dynos = underestimate

You know after looking at the dyno plot a few more times I am very impressed. Maurice has done a very good job smoothing out the fuel at the transitions as well as making a lot more HP. I sense many, many hours of tuning.
Very nice work!

You can see the intake manifold control valves open too. Kind of neat, I thought. I guess they actually do something after all .
700 orders!!!! Back to assembly!

When the VFAD opens, there is an immediate loss of power on your plot.
WTF?!?
