1. 441hp to 498 hp Mazda 13B Turbo
We were recently faced with an opportunity to test our Martini Racing 110 Unleaded fuel head
to head against industry heavyweight, VP’s leaded C16, in a high powered 13B rotary Mazda
RX3 drag racing vehicle. Testing took place at Autotechnique (03-97631195) where proprietor
Mario Pancione simply ‘drove’ the dyno with the car tuned by a rotary expert.
In a never ending search for power, the owner of the crazy Mazda asked that the engine be
tuned to deliver optimum power when running on C16 (the traditional choice of many drag
racers). The tuner was extremely happy with a best of 441 rwhp and felt that this figure could
not be surpassed. We then drained the C16 out of the fuel cell, and replaced it with 20-litres
of Martini Racing 110 Unleaded. The engine immediately picked up 18 rwhp (459 rwhp) with
no tune or other modifications. Then, taking into account the new AFR readings, the tune was
modified to best take advantage of the much higher density .840 (.733 for C16) and 3.5%
oxygenate (C16 nil), that this new generation of Martini unleaded racing fuel is now able to
offer enthusiasts and professionals alike.
The final run (now needing two men in the boot for added ballast) produced a huge
horsepower increase across the board with an outstanding gain in mid range power (179
rwhp!! gain at 6980 rpm, refer chart) with the little Mazda topping out at 498 rwhp.
The car’s owner will take his revitalised steed to the race track soon, and we will keep you
abreast of the results. Some of the features that this hypo “street car” are as follows:
