Ok.

I talked with the fabricator and he just emailed me.

The chips are ready for the MX-3. Increase in performance : claimed 15HP .

Price: U$100.00 plus Shipping (Which I will do for 3
bucks or so inside the US).

For this price, if I had a MX-3, I would try.If interested email at:

Well, I've seen a lot of these on eBay but don't really know much about them. Do they actually do what they claim? Can one of these be put on a LX 1.8 DOHC?

Marcio

This is actually a chip and you will have to put in place of the OE chip inside the ECU. 15HP is too much in my opinion, unless you have headers, exhaust, intake, ignition where the programed chip could act better.
A reasonably number (IMO) would be ~ 10% increase in performance.

I will check to see if it is available for 1.8.


peace,

I own a protege 1.5

Engine specification will be given (just ask the fabricator). By the way, I wont hide how much I would make from each chip I sell. That would be U$12, which barely cover shipping from Brazil (where the company is) to USA. Once a year I go to brazil for vacation and this company is selling chips for several cars (ford, volkswagen, renault, mazda, gm, fiat, etc). So I though I could bring it for y'a. If you don't want to discuss about this possibility, fine. I am not gonna loose anything, I am going for vacation!!!!!!!!!!!

It could be, the company is huge though and the dynos are there (whether they draw it on power point or not)....
I only wish they have one for my pro though....

later,

... Just to take the "liar" heavy word out of my soul.

even if there's no removable chip in the computer does mean you cannot change. When they chip a computer like the one of the mx-3 they have to physically remove the original chip that his soldered to the board. In other word it's not a do it yourself if your not use in playing in computer.

Marcio

Very well said! Thanks for your knowledge !!!!! Sometimes is hard to explain it to some people...
Hey, it should be easy for anyone who knos a little bit of electronics, no???

Marcio

Ok. I got an email from the company that makes the chip. They garanteed increase in performance, indeed several mx-3 were upgraded by them.

Engine specification: mazda MX-3 1.6L 16V.

Up to you now.

Marcio
