Love that. The NC makes 8 more hp than stated, yet he takes a pulled-out-of-*** stated number to prove the ND will be slower.

I'm really glad that there are all of these tuning options for the ND already.

Personally, I'm most excited for the TRD supercharger.

Don't be, its $26,000 for the TRD supercharger kit for the FR-S. Its "motorsports" use only though. Oh, and you have to buy two kits minimum.

I know, but that is the price of the TRD supercharger for the FRS

Actually DI is kind of like lowering intake temps. Well intake temps will be the same but since you are not compressing fuel and air in the combustion chamber preignition only occurs if fuel timing is too soon. Or that's the theory anyway.

Tons of potential for tuning with DI. Especially with dual variable cams. Now you don't have to squirt fuel before/during intake valve opening for it to be useful. You could squirt a little near TDC and maybe a little more with the piston on the way down. Or while the exhaust valve is open. Wanna keep your turbo spooled off throttle? Of course just speculating here but most of this thread has been just that.

Gotta control that TRD supercharger kit somehow.

Yep! You are talking about a "stratified" injection. Basically you get to inject right when you want ignition, thus avoiding detonation. The regular type of injection is commonly known as homogenious injection. there are some downsides to stratified injection but most of them are limited to cold start driveability issues. Well, that and you need a very specialized piston design. regardless, it doesn't actually provide any extra cooling like the guy said (and you corrected). But it kinda has the same effect.

Very cool stuff, but very hard to calibrate haha.

Big trucks have been using DI for many decades. They run super high compression.

Which is Mazda's next aim, Dieseling on petrol with full control. 18:1 in CR is just normal.
Even easier to play with as a shade tree mechanic.

But that will be in ND2 or NE
