I’ll give it a check when I get off work, though I didn’t remove any ground wires only connectors for the main engine harness on the driver side. I did go through a number of ground wires and cleaned some up, including one near the HPFP, but the one I cleaned up was in a slightly different...

SOLVED… see whole thread for more info… So my pretty much stock Speed6 needed to undergo exhaust surgery after a number of holes were starting to get annoying and some boost issues that I had a feeling might be catalyst or exhaust leak at a turbo gasket. Got deep in there to replace the the...

Thanks! I should be able to get it sorted out with what you supplied. It looks like both the Sienna and CX-9 of that year have only the one brake package regardless of trim (don’t even get me started on BMW when I helped a friend do his brakes and he ordered a kit that didn’t fit because his was...

@Reece Andreychek Any more info on part specifics for this? Your original post after rereading does seem to explain most of it, but the flexible brake line compatibility is the one piece that is missing. If you are able to clear that up I would be happy to give it a shot and do a thorough...

That would be great, I was gonna do all 4 corners since my rear rotor is toast, but I’ll do the rears now and hold off a bit to the fronts until I can gather the pieces. I’ll try to do a video on it too once you send the parts required.

Gotta do my brakes soon after something got embedded in my rear passenger pad and scored the shit out of the rotor. Would be excellent if you could provide a little more detail about this modification like part numbers, what caliper bracket was used (sounds like the Toyota piece but want to be...

I really appreciate the great info from members who seem like veterans of the site and platform. I come from the RX8 and 240Z, and Diesel and 2-stroke boat engines world so my knowledge on turbos and DI are good, but not excellent starting.

Thanks for the great info! I think I found the post discussing PtV clearance maxing around 40deg advanced timing from a discussion a while back after some searching. Interesting that the PtV isn’t an issue on the 2.5 Duratec. I guess the Miata subforum did seem to be a discussion surrounding...

@dinnerplate Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience. With my goals ~400AWHP by staying medium turbo (CST4/BNR S3), CS Cams, and stock fueling (maybe WMI for charge cooling, not as extra fuel) I was hoping that additional timing might bring the gains reported on 2.5 Miata swaps in the...

Double posting to share some more info I found. From some researching it seems like the Ford 2.5 Duratec VVT timing parts can be used on the 2.3 MZR due to its similarities, which is why I’ve heard of people using the Ford OEM parts to replace the weaker Mazda parts when it’s time for timing...

What’s up Mazdaspeed Crew! I have some questions about some performance oriented parts that are around that I can’t really find a review/info on pertaining to the Speed platform particularly. Hoping some people might be able to chime in with knowledge and experience. I know some people have...

Did the HPFP this past weekend. Got together all the OEM gaskets and seals, and PCV valve, for doing valve and injector cleaning this weekend after work Saturday. And of course I go to purchase Versatuner for the car now that it can keep up fuel for a a bit more boost and the prices increased...

Wanted to run a few ideas by the members here on some thoughts I had regarding minor mods and updates for the MS6 platform. These are things I’ve either found mention of on this forum or others through searching. But I know the old MazdaSpeedForums website is defunct and a few of you on here...

Thanks, I’ll reach out to him. It looks like some of the SPC suspension parts come with poly bushings built and I was planning on using there parts to replace a few of the factory control arms and rods. The rest I may stick to factory rubber.

Thanks, that reminds of another thing I forgot to mention. After I bought it I took it to my local Mazda dealer for a multi-point inspection while getting the safety and emissions done. They mentioned some bushing were starting to show wear, especially on the rear half which is why I intend to...

Hello fellow Mazdaspeed contributors. I joined the forums as a new owner of a completely stock 2006 Mazdaspeed6 with 142k miles. I purchased in July of 2024 and got it registered here in STL about a month ago. I had been faulting a high mileage 2006 Altima for a few years, and had been on the...
