Thanks for sharing. You just gave me some motivation. My son is having the same issue with his mazdaspeed 3 & the cylinder block will have to be bored. Questions: 1. What's the compression and bore on the piston you used 2. What type of head gasket did you use 3. Did you use the stock ECU or did you have to purchase some aftermarket piggyback now that standard piston aren't been used This will be the 1st time for us taking an engine apart & trying to rebuild it, so we are seeking as much help as possible. Thank you
Thank you so much for watching! Love all your videos! Super excited to see you get your car back out there. I personally just went big turbo and am finishing stiff up so I can start the tuning process! So excited!
Nice work man. I live down in central America mechanics down here are not too familiar with the speed6 engine so I will do the rebuilding myself. My concern are the clearances. Do I just tell the machine shop to bore the cylinders to 88mm? Might as well tell them to gap the rings I guess. Do the shaft has to be service as well? Thabks.
Hey man! If you get the 88mm pistons they usually come with a spec sheet for both bore and balance which should both be something the machine shop is familiar with. My crank was in good condition and just needed a polish. Do note that you might have to use stock main bearings and have them coated. I tried to use king bearings but the machine shop said it wasn't working so I brought them the old ones to get cleaned up and coated to go back in.
ARP 2000 head Studs are known in this platform to cause head lifting. Use oem bolts unless you need more power. Use ca625+ if you need head Studs that won't ruin your build and high hp
Nah I didn't, it's not needed / recommended until 700+ Barret Strecker @corksport and I were talking and his nuts build isn't keyed. My goals are 450-500 so I should be just fine with everything I've done
Sorry for the late response. No you can take the crash bar and core support off. I wasn't aware that you could do this without having to recharge the ac so I didn't wanna do it that way thinking I'd have to pay extra for that
Was timing on the speed engine easy or hard i’ve only done timing belt jobs and i have a mazda 3 2.0l gt 2006 and probably need to do timing job in few thousand kilometres
Very nice!! I’m pulling the motor out of my speed to check if the head is level but while it’s out I would like to get my block to look as clean as yours. Have any tips on how to clean the engine block?
I took the block to a machine shop, they steam clean them when they do machine work. Otherwise it's gonna be a lot of degreaser if you can't steam clean it...
Well there was a fiasco with main and rod bearings when it was at the machine shop. But about 2 weeks minus the time the block was at the shop from the day I parked it to the day I started it up again
Definitely isn't for someone that isn't mechanically inclined. Of you take your time you should be ok. Pm me on Instagram of you want tips and help! @zjsproductions
Great summary video. Thanks for sharing.

Hey man awesome video! Keep up the great work 👍

@@ZJSProMedia Hell yeah man!
@@WannabeTuners when's the next part coming out!!!
@@ZJSProMedia Hopefully soon, life gets busy sometimes lol
First start up sounded good

I'm only shooting for 450 -500. They shouldnt be a problem
What video did you watch for the timing??
I referred to my buddies video over at wannabe tuners
This was an awesome watch from start to finish! Who do you recommend for tuning? 👀
Dramatune
I know this is extremely late, but did you get your crank keyed?
Nah I didn't, it's not needed / recommended until 700+

@@ZJSProMedia thank you so much! How many miles are on it so far
Do you still happen to have the car? How has the engine been? Did they have to balance the rotating assembly after adding the pistons and rods?
I do, but it's for sale. It's been pretty dang solid!
I believe they did balance it but it's been a bit I can't remember for sure.
Well done! I've never pulled the motor on the speed3 before but do you have to go from the bottom? Curious why you chose to do it that way.

Wish I had the money to build mine.😢. Top job though buddy. Good vid. 👊

It's not too bad. I referred to my buddies video over at wannabe tuners. Eric is great and explained the process very well!
Awesome job bro! I'm going through a full quart of oil every 200/300 miles i guess it time for a build. 🥲

I noticed you rest your head on the the wrong side. Should be storing that up side down or on its side.
Yeah. I always tried to lay it on a soft surface and such but I know that now 😂
How long did the rebuild take you to finish?
Well there was a fiasco with main and rod bearings when it was at the machine shop. But about 2 weeks minus the time the block was at the shop from the day I parked it to the day I started it up again
damn man..... just knowing i have to do this here soon is getting me nervous.
Pm me on Instagram @zjsproductions and I'll help you through!
Hell of a job. How much knowledge did you have about cars before embarking on this project on your own?
I want to do this so bad but this seems so intimidating.
Definitely isn't for someone that isn't mechanically inclined. Of you take your time you should be ok. Pm me on Instagram of you want tips and help! @zjsproductions
@@ZJSProMedia I will man! I work on airplanes for a living but I have zero engine build experience. I'll give you a follow now just for the future
@@Tmoneygarage yeah shoot me a text!
Fuckin sweet
