I am in Los Angeles California and I am curious about finding out the following: 1) Is there any places in Los Angeles that sell Used Rebuilt Mazda 3 Sport Turbo engines? 2) Is it possible to switch out my factory SkyActive engine for a Mazda 3 Sport Turbo engine? 3) What if any changes would...

The rated MPG for the FWD Sedan/Hatch is close to 35/27. What are you getting?

As I learned from the instruction book, the Skyactive engine must use octane number 95 or higher. E20 is much cheaper(in my country, Thailand). E20 has about 97-98 octane number and higher than gasohol 95 (E10). I wonder that E20 which has higher octane number and cheaper should be the...

My transmission slips from 4->3/2 or 6->5 so I am replacing my clutch. I have done some research and checked different sites, I have been primarily interested in the Exedy kits, but there are two listed the MZK1012 and MZK1003. I dont know the different between the two. I read a forum post here...

Hi There, way I did see an article on this but cannot seem to find it. Anyway , sorry for a bit of repeat but this morning I was changing the rear pads, easy job I thought...!! Well, I have a problem, initially I thought this was like any other piston and I was using a G-clamp to push it...

Hello Everyone first time poster although i peep the forums often. For a week or two now when I drive and lets say I am accelerating over 3K RPMS and im in 4th, the gear screen will go form 4th to 3rd or even 2nd and the RPMs will increase, it happens in 6th and will drop to 5th. Ive done a...

Folks thanks for having me in the community Im struggling to get a microcode upgrade done to the CMU in my wifes 2014 3 I've downloaded the code printed out the directions, created the usb stick with the updates. heres what happens: I get as far as selecting the code from the USB stick and...

Hey guys so recently as of yesterday my CEL came on in my 2016 3 at 31,000. I checked the code and it was P0171 running too lean. I checked to see what the possible causes were and from what I've read there's a lot, MAF, MAP, PCV, fuel injectors, ect. So just to narrow down my search. What...

It's like there's a million threads but no links or anything substantial. I have the 2010 Service Manual, need the 12/13 SkyActiv specifically for ordering parts since it's my only car and I don't want to be doing double the work by taking parts off to get numbers and then putting them back...

so my mazda is now 2 months old , 2018 model , 2.0L giving out 120BHP. Dealership gives me 5 years warranty for this new car Its clear to me that the engine is undertuned from 165bhp - i can feel that this engine can give so much more- i can tell from the 210NM torque- same as the bmw i used to...

From what I've read around, it looks like Mazda plans to first implement the new Skyactiv 2 engines in the 3. I haven't found a consensus on when this might happen, though. We were planning to pull the trigger on a new 3 when VW bought back our Dieselgate Jetta, but right before that happened...

Hello all, I am new to this forum. I have a 2012 Mazda 3 skyactive Hatchback, bought it brand new from the dealer. Currently it has about 58,000 miles on it. I took my car to the dealer today due to hearing a weird noise when crusing at low speeds (5-20 mph) with out acceleration. It is...

I don't know if there is a specific forum for selling our cars, but I am selling a 2016 Mazda 3 isport with 11300 miles on the clock. Its soul red, 6 speed manual, and is completely stock apart from the mazda brand roof racks and legal window tint(35% front,20% rear). The car has been extremely...

As my Mazda 3 Skyactive turns 5 years old in a month, I can't believe I just discovered this forum today. (I know, "Where have I been all your life, eh?) This is my second Mazda-- after driving a three year old '96 Millennium into the ground for 13 years, I had to get another Mazda. As I'm now...

Great news. We will have another tuning solution available for NA skyactive from Versatuner. Currently, Versatuner is available for 2.2L skyactive-D. I spoke in person to co-owner of Versatune, Steve, last month and he confirmed they are working on the NA skyactive. My friend is also beta...

I didn't think it was coming this quickly. http://www.autonews.com/article/20160718/OEM05/160719872/mazda-faces-fight-to-maintain-mpg-lead Moro said the second generation of Skyactiv, which should be unveiled in 2017, will be the main driver toward meeting 2021 standards. Skyactiv 2 will use...

Hey all I don't own a Mazda 3(yet) but my girlfriend does. I'm wanting to surprise her for her birthday by installing a sub into her car. Now I'm not new at this nor am I very experienced with installs but I have a hard time asking people from visions for advice because I'm just a dollar sign to...

Hi I Will appreciate if someone could post this manual. Many thank's

Anything but tape holding this guy on? I'm planning on pulling it, just want to make sure it's not riveted on or anything crazy?
