Thanks, justdiy sir. Here's a link to the RB:

Before embarking on exhausts, please wait for the Geo_S mod.

I think I read that mod already. Posted by you on another forums. ;) I'll wait for the results from Sir Geo.

I could be mistaken but Speedlab did the dyno but did not mention what fuel they used, much less a comparo between budget fuel vs higher priced ones.

SpeedLab did some runs & experimented w/ a few combinations of intakes, unichip, even custom header on both Sky engine variants. Fuel type logging is always part of their recording.
I remember among the many posts having Mazda's top honcho, Steven Tan, chiming in. It is officially proclaimed that going beyond regular Shell fuel save will just be a waste of money....no gains. It's not about our engines performing better or failing w/ higher octane.
Why Shell? It has the Mazda nod & Shell assurance for fuel quality & consistency. With known smuggling & shady industry practices of filling up station tanks with generic, from-no1-knows-where, who-knows-what fuels, I'd go w/ what Mazda approves. Shell has color coded products. They strictly monitor retailers. These are just among their system checks, & are 1st hand accounts from buddies inside Shell.
I understand the doubts & cynicism but remember, SkyActiv has thrown combustion engine conventional thinking off.
It's your call, Yatta sir. By all means, carry on w/ those experiments. Knowledge has always been a product of curiosity. Please share whatever significant conclusions you may discover that SkyActiv engineers have yet to. This is all healthy exercise.

Can you point us to the writeup/forum posts? Sorry I'm cynical, but its just the scientist in me that will always ask for published/written and verifiable results.

Are you from the states?

Mazda considered american proclivity for regular gas and the best compression they can do for that type of fuel is 13:1

While those for premium gas is 14:1 which is meant for non american market

Premium gas burns more efficiently in with high compression engine

Let's all await GrandMast3r Geo's reviews on the Geo_S mod. I believe it's a SkyActiv world premiere. As you might have read, even those out west are awaiting what he has to say. Right, justdiy sir?.....

No apologies needed, Yatta sir. I can totally relate. That cynic in you is the same cynic in me.
Check w/ Sid & Steven Tan over in FB or let Geo_S connect you. I don't think those discussions w/ Sid & Steven were ever on here.
OVT can now actually provide you octane specific tunes for optimized performance....if you're headed that way, sir.
Sid can do you unichip.

Naku every mid-month ang dating ng units and most are reserved. Better head on to the dealers and reserve for your chosen color.

The car is technically not mine, its my parents + to preserve teh warranty so any mods will likely be cosmetic (stickers so they'll know its our car in the lot, tints, seatcovers). I only drive and take care of it when they are away. Plus I also have a Sorento Speedlab Project I'm saving up for. Siguro when the warranty is up, I'll have a supercharger put in.

A SkyActiv refresher here, Yatta sir:
The SKYs the Limit: Looking into Mazda's SKYACTIV Engine Technology - Engine Builder Magazine

[travajante]

Mazda seems to have figured a forced induction 2.5 Sky for the new CX9 & the highly anticipated AWD MS3. I'm curious how they added the turbo to an already hi-comp engine. That said, a supercharger isn't remote by any means.

The 1st 2 statements are facts.....the last 1 still holds true..... except on the SkyActiv, not totally anymore, sir.

Actually, isa sa nagustuhan ko sa M3 ay walang shift shock. Kasama sa skyactive design ang improved powertrain.

Try shifting at a full stop.
