The mazda 3 MPS is a front wheel drive!

and i comes stock with 18x7" wheels!

They go pretty hard hey! :)

Go hard alright - we've got the mazda 3 pilot car(press car) from Mazda Australia. They've given it to us for 2 months to see what we can do with it. In standard trim it made 160.8 Front wheel kilowatts on about 12psi of boost. We are hoping to make another 30kw on top of that with another 4-6psi of boost.

The Mazda 6 MPS (4WD) he had made about 155awkw and went to 190awkw on about 19psi of boost after we tuned it. Both have the same engine.

Personally the Mazda3 MPS has made me consider selling my skyline as they are just such a good little car and handle so well. It will be interesting to see if DSC will handle the extra 30kw being a front wheel drive.

I think the first thing you should do is put a BIGGER turbo on it!! :P

Personally i couldn't ever go back to a front wheel drive after owning a skyline. :)

That's, what, like 210hp at the wheels from a factory hatchback! That is seriously nuts! About 30hp more than my R32 GTS-T (on standard boost)! Shit, I need either some boost or a new car, and quickly!!!

The 3MPS are unreal - a mate owns one

My fiancee and i also own a SP23 - great daily cars, nice and comfortable, good on fuel and well built with a 2.3L n/a motor.

Its pretty fun to drive - even my mate with the MPS was impressed at how well it goes and corners for n/a!!

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By R3N3 · Posted

      Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..

      Does 98ron contain ethanol?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.

      Will I Need A Retune After Cahanging My Catalytic Converter ?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By silviaz · Posted

      Ah yep. I asked a auto electrician about getting a cheap rebuilt alternator vs a new one. He also said he used to it back in the day but it ended up costing similar to what a new one would and recommended getting a new one,.
