I custom ordered a new 2023 mazda3 hatchback turbo premium plus. I also own a first gen mazdaspeed3. I know the speed3/6 models come factory with the k04… but what comes factory in the new models? Did they ever switch and upgrade turbos or do they still run the k04s? I cannot find anything about...

So basically ive been doing a ton of research and read that the structure/architecture between the LF and L3 are pretty much identical and just that the L3 block is a wee bit taller. My idea is to simply install a stock O/E turbo and exhaust header from a speed3 while upgrading to a homemade...
Hey guys,
I own a 2006 mazda 3 2.3 with the manual with 150,000 miles. The plan is to ride her till she dies and then swap the engine for a 2.5 from a ford fusion (aswell as the speed3 6 speed). I was wondering about it's potential for turboing. I've seen videos of 2.5 turbo setups with like...
Dear reader,
Since recently I have been really looking into the Mazdaspeed 3 and to be honest I don't want any other car anymore.
I haven't driven one myself (yet) but by the looks and performance on video's I have been amazed.
Currently I am looking to buy one I just don't know what the points...
Ive been driving my mazdaspeed3 for a couple months over a year now and my AC stopped working a while ago. However nothing was wrong it just was blowing hot air so i didnt use it. Fast forward, i hit a pretty aggressive bump one day and all the sudden i get a terrible belt noise. Theres no power...
2010 Mazdaspeed 3. I put an XS Power K04 turbo in the car recently and also put a front mount intercooler and cobb 3 port boost control solenoid. I have checked for boost leaks and exhaust leaks and have none. Boost solenoid is tuned at 90% and I am only getting about 8lbs of boost. Any...
08 speed3 with lots of aftermarket. Recently my old turbo took a shit and I got a new one installed. Fast forward to today and I got it back. As I’m driving I’m noticing my boost pressure is hitting ab 20psi. Normal I wouldn’t be concerned but it seems it’s not a smooth transition. Normally I...
Hey all,
First post. Apologies if this is covered elsewhere, I've looked for a whole and don't see my question covered elsewhere.
My son is thinking of buying a 2009 Mazdaspeed 3 with a blown 2.3 turbo/manual transmission. As we all know the replacement engine is too expensive so I'm...
So super quick question my best mate recently blew his mazdaspeed up (what a shock lol) but we've been looking into getting him a new block but he neither I are willing to pay 3000$ for an actual engine from a mazdaspeed when he only needs the block. So would a NA mazda 3 block serve a good...
So I have a 2010 speed 3, and from my research, it seems like you want to buy a bypass valve instead of a bov. I would really like one that sounds good. I already got an intake but i think a bypass valve would help complete the sound. there are a lot of bypass valves out there and i would...
Hello I'm just curious if I was able to take all the turbo goodies off a stock ms3 would I be able to fit everything into my 05 Mazda 3 sedan? And would I need a custom ecu or could I somehow use or wire in a stick ecu from a ms3? Also curious how much hp the 2.0 can handle fully stock before I...
Hi all,
So I got a Mazda 3 2.2 from 2015 since october 2019. Im loving every aspect of the car and that's the reason I cannot let go of this problem.
So the thing is.. I think I lack power in the second gear.
In the beginning it was a lot more noticeable because the car was stupid slow. Even...
Hi guys,
Recently a friend of mine gave me his Mazda 3 05 1.6 Turbo Diesel.
The problem is that on low gears when I cross 1.500, 2.000 revs engine stall. I've seen some topics around here that it might be ECU problem, because battery was dead and I recharged it. Then I left the car working...
