    I got my Mazda tuned by Daniel from DrTuned, with their Stage 1 tune for 91 octane. The process was very painless and straightforward. I got only good things to say. The car runs smoother, revs faster through the rpm range and has more power throughout the RPM range. Specifically, my car with...

    Wanting a decent power increase from my 1rst gen bk sp23, the factory L3ve is the non-turbo variant of the L3vet in the mazdaspeed. With a OEM 9.7.1 compression ratio and port injection I'd probably grenade the stock engine if I tried turboing it. What's involved in an engine swap? Would the...

    Hi all, I'm looking into purchasing a col air intake or making a custom fit, but the question I wanted to ask is if anyone has made their N/A engine make some nice gurgles and pops? I have the Corksport exhaust installed but I'm looking to add some nice growls and gurgles if anyone has done it...

    Hi guys!, I'm fairly new to owning a Mazda ever and I bought a 2020 Mazda 3 hatchback select 2.5L non turbo about a year ago. At the time I didn't even know the turbo model was a thing because I was just looking to get a new car at the time, and the thing that is bugging me is the signature...

    *UPDATE 10/11/2022 - Have been running the supercharger for 20k miles and it's great, more than 50 Skyactiv supercharged engines running around now. To date there has been one known defect that happened, where the supercharger was replaced under warranty, and may be a second case that is being...

    I've been pondering this for a bit and am wondering if the MX5 skyactive is similar enough to the 2.0 in our 3 that parts can swap? If anyone's got any info lemme know could be a cheaper way to get more power?

    I have a 2015 Mazda 3 without any Homelink mirror, rain-sensing wipers, smart city, etc. I want to add a dashcam to my car but I want to try connecting the wires into the place where these factory sensors would get power from if they were installed. Will this be possible with both always-on...

    Hello everyone, I have been trying to search the internet for a wiring diagram for the EPS circuit and where all the main grounds are located on the Mazda 3. I have a loose or broken ground somewhere that effects the power steering, dash, radio, hvac and sometimes shuts the car off.

    I've notice that about 10% of the time that I restart the car the cruise control is deactivated; as in, I need to turn in ON again before I can set a speed. Is there something I'm doing that is causing this?

    Today I rolled down three of the windows in my 2012 Mazda 3. The driver's side window, the rear driver's side window, and the passenger's side window. The passenger raised their window just fine, I (the driver) put up my window just fine. However, when I went to raise the rear driver's side...

    Hi all, I have a 2012 Mazda 3 I Touring. Next weekend I will be replacing my power brake booster. It is mostly a straight forward job as far as I can see. My question is this. Has anyone performed this repair? I am looking, mostly just by feel at the pin on the brake peddle that connects the...

    Hey everybody, I could use some advice. I bought my 2015 Mz3 GT about 2 months ago. About a month ago, all power died from my center console (12v plug, 2 USB ports, SD card slot). I have tried replacing fuses 5, 9, and 11 in the driver seat fuse box, but no help. I have also tried reseated the...

    The May 6 print version of Autoweek Magazine has a short first drive review of the 2019 Mazda3 (loaded sedan). It's not up on their website yet so I can't link to it but I thought this extract from their thoughts about the engine might generate some comments: " . . . we're confident more power...

    I have a 2018 Mazda 3 GT (USA). My sideview mirrors have blindspot monitoring. Is it possible to add power folding mirrors to this? I see kits online to add it to normal mirrors but nothing for mirrors that have blindspot monitoring built-in.

    I tried to start my car this morning and absolutely nothing happened. No lights, no sound. Like there is no power at all. I checked the battery with a multimeter and it's sitting nicely at 12.58 volts. I also tried jumping it and nothing happened. Any ideas what it could be?
