^^ Thanks, learn something new everyday!

 

well it's FWD... got torque steer, and weigh over 3000 lbs....




















j/k dude, nice car and I'd love to have one as DD.

 

what other mods do you have to make it up to 255 whp? not just intake .. lol

 

These things give STi's/Evo's trouble stock for stock and simple mod's like this make a huge difference. No idea how S2000 owners think they can pull on these from a roll. I got slaughtered by one when my Evo was near stock.

 

yah my buddy's ms3 got a CAI and before after dyno without any tune etc. and picked up 30whp and 24wtq, sounds great too

 

I'm afraid so... The stock intake on the ms3 is so restrictive... they usually pick up 25whp with an SRI.

 

yup just intake.

 

my WRX is the same way, gotta shift a little early to stay within the powerband

 

test drove a MS3 once...I really wanted to like it, but the early power dive killed it for me. They should have designed it to be able to pull hard to at least 7 grand, even if that meant a bit less torque/HP in the midrange. It's a sport compact, not a diesel U-Haul truck

 

if MS3 owners didn't care about low/midrange torque they would have bought a Honda. Not everyone wants an 8000+RPM screamer as their daily driver. So they could have made the head breathe better and put a bigger turbo on it, kill the drivability of the car and made it produce that kind of torque to 6500RPM then it would be even more expensive, not a lot of usable torque in the lower rev range and we would have a 350 horsepower FWD hatch.
