New mazda 3
I just bought a White mazda 3 S. man i love driving this car! What can i do to it to make it funner/faster? is there a chip for these cars and how much?
|
Con grats, I won't go into detale because I still don't know much about mazdas but Im sure some one here is.
|
Ebay! Look on Ebay under Mazda 3, I found a chip for under $10 and like $3.50 for shipping. Oh and removing you Air Intake Resonator helps boost performance too, and makes it sound like you have an Intake too, Sporty!
|
what is the chip gonna do? more hp? how much?
|
whoa...misinformation.
do NOT buy an ebay "resistor chip" they are scams for people who dont what they are doing with cars. welcome to the forum. "funner" isn't a word but if it was it would be used to describe Mazdas. please use the "search" feature on our forum to find answers to commonly asked questions. |

Welcome to the Mazda family. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. |
Yeah, that chip is bad news. Eventually, we might get a real tuned ECU, but we don't have one yet (expect to pay $5-600 for a real one). But until then, pretty much all we've got for our cars are lowering springs and a cold-air intake.
A company called HI-boost is supposedly coming up with a turbo kit that will make 240 hosepower at the wheels, it's supposed to cost $4000 and come with the reprogrammed ECU for the turbo. If body kits are your style, I know of one I saw in this month's SuperStreet magazine. Can't remember the manufacturer. And Roddimus tells me he's going to work on either a header or a supercharger for the beast. So you've got some things in the works, but you'll have to wait a while. For now, you'll just have to be happy with a 1.5" drop and an intake. |
I also sell postert body kits for the 3 hatch. VERY nice style, probably the best I've ever seen.
I'm hoping to do something big for the 3 (2.0L already has the WOMP) 2.3L. It would be very nice to make an M62-powered 3s if I could find some who does aluminum casting here locally. |
Man, I just took a look at those body kits, and they are TIGHT! I'm not even a big fan of body kits, but they look purposeful. That one with the vented hood would be very functional with a turbo.
Oh, I tried your link to www.womp-racing.com or whatever it was on your profile, but it didn't work. Is your website up? I'd really like to see it. |
ill hold off on the chip for now. im not into body kits and stuff but my car is the 2.3 I model and it came with the really cool side skirts. how does an intercooler work exactly?
|
An intercooler is basically a smaller version of your radiator, except instead of coolant, there's air flowing thorugh the fins. The purpose of them is to cool the air from a turbo (which is very hot) so that your engine is more efficient.
|
just do the basics. IHE, put some progressive springs on and you are good to go.
