    2013 mazdaspeed3 temperature thermostat issue

    There may still be air pockets in the system. These engine are a bit difficult to burp and I find I still need to add some coolant daily for about 3 days after working on the cooling system. As long as the car isnt overheating, just take it easy.

    When you plug flanges, the company welds up and fills the holes creating a solid flange and then redrill the stud holes. Where your flanges are weak seem to be where Honda added the additional "speed holes" prolly to lighten up the component. Basically you would be undoing what Honda screwed...

    You can plug axle flanges. It has been done to convert cars from 4 lug to 5 lug. Perhaps that would add strength? However track is very different to street, unfortunately cars are designed for the street.

    Shot in the dark, but this is always rattling around not paying rent in my brain for some reason...

    VTCS delete relay install

    The system will operate as normal, all you have to do is detach the arm from the shaft for the flappers. (So, if you dont have any flappers, leave all the rest of the kit in place and the computer is non the wiser.)

    Other 1 owner speeds?

    Having everyone knowing what you got is epic...everyone having experienced it, loses its value.

    [SOLVED] Mazdaspeed 6 Not passing 1500psi at WOT

    If you google P0012 Mazdaspeed, a lot comes up with some very detailed posts. <Here> is one from here. <Here> is one from another place. Some of the things I saw would be a good basis for a horror story...hope yours is an easy fix.

    Mazdaspeeding's 2012 ~400whp engine rebuild

    I think it does...I also think its the only one that will accept TMIC. Also, from the CS FAQ section... Will this fit with a TMIC set up? Asked by Aleksandar | 09/13/2021, 12:03 PM | 1 answer(s) Yes it will. Answered by Brian Bernier | 09/15/2021, 03:49 PM

    MS6 no longer on CS homepage :-(

    The Speed6 scene really only survives because the Speed3, and its been almost 20 years. I also understand that CS is a niche market product, they dont also make parts for Honda, Subies or Mustangs. They need to run lean to be profitable for the future. We were only made for 2...

    Its too bad, the Civic was coming along and I thought this summer would be interesting to watch. Sad to see it go...and what are you going to do? Perhaps a Miata next?

    Car stutters/hesitates like it’s two stepping when WOT

    First, dont do things that cause "popping and backfires" Next, based on your info, look into a boost leak test. If you arent hitting targets, and hear pressurized air releasing you have a considerable boost leak. Dont forget to also check the tightness of the turbo to manifold bolts.

    I hope the numbers transmit to the track too. You might be in for some more driver mod ;), lol
