    SP63 VVT/Timing Kit

    I'm assuming you checked clearance yourself to find that 40 degree number? I'm trying to find more info on the max VVT advance, but there's not much out there. Weird sp63 advertised it as using full range, especially with large cams.

    Climate control screen blank

    The auto HVAC module is connected to the info displays via the CAN network. Modules on the network self-monitor and will take themselves off the CAN network if they determine too many transmitted errors to prevent taking the network down. This resets after an amount of time. This of course...

    2006 mazda 3 GT sedan 2.3 turbo project

    Welcome, document bits of your build if you feel so inclined. I like the turbo base builds. My 04 3s got me into Mazdas, fun little cars. Ended up 2.5 swapping it, got Versatune, wanted to turbo it, so I sourced and bought most of the parts necessary for the Mazdaspeed trans swap, and figured...

    The fundamental flaw of the DISI?

    Yes LSPI is the main issue that arises from this poor mixture. I guess I was referring to the gen2 piston design in my post, I wasn't even aware the pistons were changed in the gen 2, apparently the first gen pistons don't have a fuel bowl at all, interesting. It makes sense the fuel bowl is so...

    The fundamental flaw of the DISI?

    I agree with you, it's necessary and pretty expected for trying out such a new technology. The Skyactiv is amazing. I found a 2013 Sky 3 for my brother, and I'm always shocked by the gas mileage it achieves. I read an interview where a Mazda engineer mentioned that a ton of manufacturers...

    The fundamental flaw of the DISI?

    Saw a comment the other day from someone who claimed they knew a Ford powertrain engineer, and claimed they said that Ford didn't use the DISI (yes the Ecoboost is based on it, but not the same) because it was essentially a parts bin engine thrown together because Mazda really wanted to use...

    2012 MS3 Stuttering Under Load (Logs)

    Yeah they should be good then, but can't ever fully rule out parts issues. Have you checked the part number on the coils themselves to make sure a clueless parts guy didn't order base model coils, or even wrong parts were boxed (have had that happen, as frustrating as it is). Maybe try throwing...

    2012 MS3 Stuttering Under Load (Logs)

    Misfire following a coil is generally pretty conclusive, and rules out wiring/control side problems to a coilpack as well. You mentioned you recently installed new coilpacks, was there a reason for that? Or just maintenance when it was running perfectly? You sure they aren't knockoff OEM coils...

    Are you sitting comfortably? build

    I really appreciate the care and attention to detail you've given to this speed6 over time. Ended up reading through the whole thread, sounds like a dream to take such care of a car over time. I believe measuring actual flow is safer because you ensure you're getting the correct amount of...

    LS RX8 Build - Project Doritno

    How much did you end up paying for your driveshaft? Not sure if I want to go 8.8 off the bat or just get the swap working first with the rx8 diff, mainly due to timeframe. Cost of having to do a custom driveshaft twice will probably determine which route I go. Really appreciate how well you've...

    Mazda CX-7 Project

    I just happened to see this post, so not sure what exactly you're doing this for. But most signals are usually transmitted to the cluster via CANBUS. Making a canbus sniffer with an Arduino or something similar is probably your best option. You can then output your signal however you desire for...

    OG 2012 MS3 Owner

    Welcome. Man I'd be scared to hand my kid the keys to that immediately - I drove like a maniac when I was that age.
