Hello all I’m fairly new to the nyspeed forum.
I tried the search and a few relevant posts came up. But they were quite dated, beginning of the year.
I just got a new car. It is a mazda speed6 and it has AWD. I’m lookng for a place that I can have the car dyno’ed to get a baseline dyno, along with the a/f ratio. Because I think the car is running QUITE rich.
Also what prices can I expect to have to pay for a baseline dyno run? I’m used to the places and the prices for dyno’ing motorcycles. But I’ve never tried to get a car dynoed. 🙂
Thanks,
Randy

last i heard, innovative didnt get their dyno in yet, but im not 100% certain.
the only one i know of at the moment is at Kennedys…whom ive heard great things and bad things about. [http://www.kennedysdynotune.com/AWD%20Dyno.htm](http://www.kennedysdynotune.com/AWD%20Dyno.htm)

No it’s white.
I haven’t seen another one around yet…plenty of regular 6’s but not another speed6.

How does the AWD system on the 6 work?
I’ve heard that it runs like the VW Haldex system, FWD most of the time until they start losing grip.

Yes it is a similar setup. It is normally 100% fwd biased and when it detects front/rear wheel speed mismatch, it will transfer from 10-50% of the power to the rear wheels.
The system works very well as I found out during that huge storm we had, seamless transition and if you turn off the dsc/tcs it will oversteer very predictably. Donuts are fun in a snowy parking lot…
I’m pretty happy with it even though it gulps fuel when you get into the boost, which is addicting…and that’s 93 octane fuel…ouch.

Thanks Rob. I was looking at the sti too but it was too much $$ for me, and the subie guys wouldn’t budge. Plus the tires had to go they looked like motorcycle tires with no tread 🙂
This car has what they call “summer tires” too but they do ok in snow.
They were giving like $4k off on the ms6 and $2k off the sticker.
Anyways I’d like to get a baseline dyno and then I’ like to get a cai and mabey an exhaust. It’s pretty quick but it’s no wrx or sti. It’s heavy.

What you lose in performance, you gain in creature comforts, which for a daily driver I would not underestimate.
That and you fly really low under the radar with cops…
