Hi everyone, I'm new here. Cannot locate any topics on extracting more power and/or torque out of the engine in my 2019 cx5 gtr. Any help that doesn't include 'be happy with what you have'?
Thanks!

 

Until a specialized tuning company such as APR comes up with a flash, it is unlikely you're going to be able to do much for the engine.

 

Thanks I appreciate the info.

 

If you are not already running premium gas, Mazda says it gets better power with higher octane gas. I wonder if it would get even more power with an even higher octane gas or with an octane additive.

 

Unless the ECU is programmed to let boost and timing levels exceed the expected thresholds for 93 AKI fuel (rather unlikely), then Octane Booster will do nothing beneficial for the engine.

 

I I have been running nothing but 93 octane since I took delivery of the car brand new.

 

I hear you and knew you would respond with this type of information. While I bet you are right, if I had a 2.5T engine and wanted more power, this would be the first thing I would try.

 

I guess what I would really like to see are independent track results showing the performance difference between regular unleaded and premium unleaded with this engine. I cannot even find any dyno graphs showing the torque and horsepower curves with each fuel.

 

There will be a difference; while most normally aspirated engines show very little difference between Regular and Premium, turbocharged engines often show in excess of a 10% power bump when running on Premium.
