I don't have any problems with my 3 units of 2006 mazda 6 one of my 3 units is a mazdaspees 6 2.3L dsi turbo 4wd. 6 speed up. 😊. I have new cars but I only love ❤️ my 3 old mazdas. I can't put numbers to the fun.😊
German cars are unreliable stock! Japanese are reliable with +100 over stock! but putting 500 hp on a Mazdaspeed is kinda too much! my speed6 has 220k km on it with 350 hp! the only maintaince is needed was VVT at 200k ! runs like a clock!
Let's pay respect to the old Mazda F2T 2.2L single cam Turbo engine that can hold up to 450whp stock before it explodes into the stratosphere . These are severely underrated .
I just found your channel and I subscribed. I got my Mazdaspeed3 a year ago and I'm in love It was my first manual car and I wasn't looking for it, but I drove it and fell in love
Love my CX-7 , lots of power despite the expensive fill ups . Great engine. Just gotta treat them right and keep clean oil in them. I run full synthetic and change every 3000 miles.
I'm surprised you didn't bring up the VVT issues, that the stock tune runs lean and that the injectors are not upgradeable. Also if anyone that reads this has the 2.3 or 2.5 MZR and was thinking of swapping to the DISI, don't. The stock block 2.5 can hold just as much power as a stock 2.3 DISI(without the DISI issues). So if you have the 2.3, swap to the 2.5 and boost it with a fat turbo. It's the same engine family as the DISI so most of the turbo parts that you need bolt right on. The 2.5 is also a cheap option to replace your 2.3 DISI bottom end if it's got a window.
Ah right yeah, idk but In my head I always bundle the vvt and timing chain issues into one since the vvt causing the timing chain to elongate, but yeah your right, should of bought it up!
420 whp evo 9...stock bottomend... including head studs going 3 years strong at that power level.. Not sure if you're 4g63 specs are totally on target Good video otherwise though
My buddy has railed his mzr for 100k miles. 5-6k shifts each time. I purchased mine because of his good experience. The mazdaspeed 6 drive trains is garbage. And I will also note the mzr timing covers are both rattling and have been for some good time. (Note that this is the cover.. at least we think.) And yes the ko3 and ko4 suffer from issues. But I will say that all turbos have a lifespan. Currently my 13 with a ko4 is at 95k and it needs new seals. Slowly sipping my oil. My buddy's is a 07 and had his k03 replaced at 60k and it is still going strong at 140k. The second gen only came with a k04 for the last production year. Nothing to crazy as far as performance difference but you do have a sharper boost kick. I've driven both stock and while the 2nd gen has a tick more pep I honestly prefer the 1st gen. Also if you shifts get a little on the choppy side our cars cable set up stretch over time. Mine currently need replaced. I hope this has been some additional insight.
Damn, ik the axels on the 6s are quite sh*t (que the driver side rear) typical of the turbos to blow there seals, it's inescapable unfortunately, though all 3 and 6s only came with a k04, Sts use k03s. I'd probaly start looking into the timing just so you can assure your valves and pistons don't desire to meet.up 😂
i’d watch out, i knew some guy who had bolt ons and no tune and he blew up his motor 3 times. i think tunes not only make you more power but make you run safer. i’d get a tune if you have some bolt ons

Had my speed six since brand new I remember when I bought it the people at the dealership didn’t even know how to put it in reverse and I figured it out, got 180 on it now, I’ve done the transfer case transmission clutch VVT and a few other things on it, still bone stock
Just a great piece of engine! Just to much people trying to get power that by design and own limmits cannot deliver, even worst... without proper knowlege 😉..Good tunning and a couple of mods. You'll get 300 hp nice and reliable... Beyond that... Like for sure, things get narrowed for mistakes and can be blown like any other engine in same situacion
Yeah that's true, people also don't realize that once you modify any boosted car, reliabilty is going to fall, you can't improve power and expect everything else to increase as well, in most cases youre sacrisfing reliability
Thats why ford use mazda engines.😂i bet in few years from now focus RS will have 2.5 turbo engine.ford will be using mazdas new 2.5 skyactive engine.i bet a million dollars😂
It's facts. And man, that prediction, Is actually mental, thats so true lol, they'll have to wait till it's 13 years old though ,😂💀 Though, do they own the rights to it?
Jip.its strange.mazda have so much potential to build fast cars.but yet they concentrate on family cars and reliability.then companies like ford come and use their builds to power itself and to compare to the performance world
Yeah, it would be good for them to have a halo car to show customers how exciting they can be. And after all the development, they can apply that to their passenger cars for better handling etc for cheaper
@@LifeOfTuners but trust me.companys like corsport and cobb will be in the line to upgrade the new mazda 3 turbo.maybe the mazda 3 turbo have alot of potential.its just restricted.something tells me ones u do software and proper bolt on's its gona be a total diffrent beast.just watch
Yeah, corksports already got a section of their website for it, I reckon a bigger turbo would transform the Mazda 3 turbo, cos stock it really runs out of guts at like 5k rpm
Yeah once those unequal length headers are gone, that classic rumble disappears, though you are right, even the sound from it being a boxer engine alone is still nice as
So lovely my and my friend white mazdaz are in Yourt video :) Btw the two white speeds in this video BK - 150k milage - no issues, except one turbo fix - Tuned stage1 BL - 75k milage - no ussies, except one turbo fix - Full stock The car is reliable, but the TURBO it will fail, no matter the oil changes or how u take care for the car. It will fail. Thats the only issue.
Ay let's go! The videographer sent the film in! They're so clean Damn 150k miles, and no timing chain issues, that's really good, shows what's possible with a good owner!
Hey question for ya, could you tell me who’s speed3 is at 8:34? I’d like to talk to them! The suede covered gauge cluster hood is so good! I haven’t seen that anywhere before!
Bro i been drivinrg mine foe abt 10 months in a chicago wether and i built it but ye a it comes with its problems like evry other car like the tominga componets are really weak to be a turbo engine
i bought my speed over the summer as my first car. i love this car so much. i honestly don’t think i’ll ever sell it. i’m waiting for the day imake my last payment to mod it:)
@@LifeOfTuners yeah that might be it, I was giving it gas and slowly letting out the clutch until I fully let it out quickly and the car jerked hard af, I’ll have to work on where the catch point is at
@@T6travels the clutch feel to me is the best i’ve felt out of all the manual cars my friends have had and even the civic that was given to be before i bought this car. it just takes time to get used to it shouldn’t take more than a weekend worth of driving to get it down
I have a 2009 mazdaspeed 3 every time the power kicks in and puts me in the seat I just wanna punch it so much more. I only had it for about a month and I already got a speeding ticket:P 80 in a 45
Not one mention of injectors in this video shows you don't actually know these engines well. Hpfp don't do shit if you're injectors are 100k miles old...
@@LifeOfTuners the #1 reasons these cars go zzb is injectors failure. 9 times of out 10 it's cyl 3... This video does a disservice to all the noobs out there because it doesn't even mention injectors
Lemme guess your MazdaSpeed blew up due to injectors and you think now that means it's the main reason? I don't know what country you're in, but over in Europe and NZ, the main cause is ignorant owner lmaooo
Wouldn’t say it’s junk more reliable then a Subaru and can make easier power out of my 7 friends tho we have blown 4 motors already and that’s with buying hpfp and ap first
My buddy bought an ms6 when it 1st came out. He loved that car so much. Had an awesome interior and looked great. Within a month the car was in the shop 4 time with motor issues. He forced mazda to lemon law the car. So yeah they are junk. And onetime after a 9 second hit. The track officials tried to give me a red motor mount because they thought it came from my car. Feel out of mazda speed3. Lol. Pure junk.
I mean that's like 1 car, and litterally every car manufacture makes lemons, whenever you buy a new car you either get a good one or a complete lemon, that's the hidden safety of going used to some extent
love ur videoes. they are sooo informational. thanks to u i did not buy a subaru wrx, but a mazda 3 mazdaspeed3/ mps and holy bananas i love this car 😍 greetings from swizerland 🤣
@@LifeOfTuners i will follow ur instructions too. like my first mod will be hpfpi and some bodywork because he is a bit rough around the edges. gen1 mps with 100000 miles no timing cain issiues and was regular inspectet by the mazda dealership. my aim is widebody and 350 hp 😁
Ay that's the way man! Gotta be safe! And yeah that's good that it's been maintained well, thats the different of an engine lasting another 70,000 miles or not! 350 would be sick and with a widebody, to be able to fit in some THICC tyres should be fun as hell!
if people would stop abusing their speed 3 too often maybe the engine would last longer but they dont understand that its not good to rev that shit à 6k rpm on every corner
That's exactly it, they expect to be able to nuetral drop everywhere, redlining it from cold, service it every 10k miles, like ofc it will have problems if you do that
If it runs fine when you let off the gas, then its alright, if it starts stalling out or doing something that enjoys you take it off, or you could switch from vent to atmosphere to recirculation, I'm pretty sure all GFB Boca can do that?
Most reliable engine I've ever known, and I've been a kseries expert for over 20years... owned my original-owner, no accidents, 1st RSX-S sold in Austin TX, for nearly 23years. Been tuning Hondas for 20years... i got a taste of a 2008 Speed3 when I bought one in 2011. Owned 4 since, and it's more reliable than any honda motor EVER, including the kseries. It's an incredible motor and car. Over 200k miles on one, and the only maintenance I've done is regular carbon cleaning every 3k miles using the liquid cleaner method through the induction system, AC compressor clutch changed twice (still the original compressor), sway bar bushings all around twice, belt tensioner, new struts/shocks all around, and a new clutch w/ rear main seal once... oh, and regular oil changes. Obviously, tires and brake pads. That's it. Only mods are the dealer intake, rear motor mount insert, and lighter wheels. You can see the car in action here... th-cam.com/video/aOZwJtH3O0E/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ttBKEpfWPT2DVmhX&t=2m38s Editt: people will hate and doubt, and yes, original turbo, original fuel pumps, original timing components, original fuel injector seals, even the original pcv valve
Usually when an engine isn't good the car manufacturer will discontinue it, and that's the case with the mzr much as I love the motor and am putting an identical "reman" motor in I think it's faulty.
Biggest thing is servicing the injectors, a clogged injector will cause catastrophic failure!! you will also have to clean the carbon build up, being a DI system it will gunk up your valves. Basically the Mazdaspeed is not meant for a novice car owner. Do your research simple as that
So you said 2.3 Disi is a good engine. It can hold a nice power number etc. But if u want it to be reliable no dig races, only roll races. Stock 2.3 can not hold all the torque. I did in my speed 8 or 11 digs and it blew. The motor was in good condition, all stock, no mods at all. After that i did a little research and the truth is If u want a good realiable 2.3 u need forged internals. So a car with AWD (speed6) and you can't use this AWD system. WTF this is kinda lame. Stupid SR20 can take a lot of abuse in drifting and 2.3 can not handle a few starts from a dig...
Not really, it's all down to how the owner treats it/how well the cars been maintained etc. Even stock yes they can blow up if they're not treated well, Espically as higher milage is added to the equation. About the torque talk, they can hold 400wtq if it's been tuned but someone who knows the platform and can tune the torque to come in later and build progressively
@@LifeOfTuners My speed3 was treated like a baby. My father's friend bought one new from a dealer, had it for 11 years then i got it with 89k miles. He did oil changes after 5k miles or less, never more and never launched the car. I started using all the power and a rod went throught the block. One time I thought i did heard a rod knocking like 2 or 3 knocks and it stops. 2 days later 1 more dig launch and it blew. But if i am correct. it can take all the abuse, dig launches etc if the torque is tuned to hit way later ? i love mazdas, now i have 2015 mazda 3 but i'm thinking about getting gen 2 speed 3 for a project car but i am scared to blow another 2.3 disi.
i got my ms3 when i was 16 and i beat the shit out of it and the only thing that ever really broke was the thermostat and an evap leak from the fuel pump ring and both were east fixes
Idk man, but thank you so much 🙏 defo wouldn't say I know anywhere near the most, but I do try my best to help and entertain as many people as I can after being into them for so damn long, Thank you
Yeah the mk7s have finominal tuning ability, however the mk5 and mk6 really don't, but they're owners still think they're as tunable as a mk7 or ms3 (the mk7 is far more tunable then a ms3)
I made 340whp on a 200,000km motor unopened. They aren’t bad engines. I only rolled into power, never abused it and never dumped it or launched it hard.
I have a 2008 'Speed 3 w/ 97K miles. No mods (except for a CP-e short ram intake). The only problem is the occasional exhaust smoke (from the K04 turbo) when at extended idle. Does it need a new turbo to stop that problem? Yes. Is it worth the $2K or so (on a car that's currently worth like $4K) to do so? Nope. Does it still work well and make plenty of power? Yup. Oh, and Koni FSD's in place of the OEM dampers were a great move. That's it. Change the oil and fluids regularly and it runs great!
@@LifeOfTuners Next oil change, I'll use Rotella 5w40. And if I do replace the turbo, it will be the BNR stage 1 turbo. Definitely not going big turbo. If I want more power, I'll get a rear-wheel drive car. No sense in having a front-wheel drive car with 300+ hp. That's just silly. :-)
@@LifeOfTuners thank you, it probably won’t be driven as much because I’m heading off to college soon, but it’ll definitely be a beast cruisin threw campus Breakin necks lol 😂
good video, helps with alot of the bad shit thrown around with these cars, yeah they can be a problem but like you said, get it done cheap and its gonna blow lol!! but I 100% agree on the VTO BOV, I highly recommend not running it like this unless tuned. Bought my Gen2 Speed 3 with one installed and all it was doing was throwing up engine lights and causing my car to run SUPER rich, removed it and chucked the OEM one back on and its been fine ever since. Only advantage would be holding boost a little better higher up the revs but the K04 looses its puff after 5500rpm any way :P
Yeah that's what I hoped it would do, it's weird cos I hear a lot of people say their vto bov didn't hurt that much, other say it does. Though I guess if you wanted to hold more boost and be good for the engine you could just get a new recirc valve
Had a 2010 genpu/gen 2 stage 2 a few years ago with over 100k miles. Best and most reliable car I've ever owned and only lost it because of a deer hit. Hoping to get another one. Love these things so much.
@@LifeOfTuners Okay well when Will Dawson one of the most reputable tuners for the speed platform makes an announcement saying there is no way to accurately tune for a BOV, I’m taking his word over yours. Lol
@@LifeOfTuners Blow off happens off throttle, you can’t tune for something off throttle, and uh no, tuned by nishan agrees as well, have you not watched the educational videos on the mazdaspeed forums. I get it you think you know everything but
Can you drop the links for this? Factory is a recirc valve, meaning when let off, the boost pressure is rerouted to after the throttle body (and ofc the maf sensor) since the maf sensor can't read this, from factory the ecu is programmed to account for this extra air to maintain afrs. However with a VTA, the boost pressure is vented to atmosphere, so the ecu calculates it's afrs to include that boost pressure that it no longer recieves, it can be tuned so that the ecu relies on the air only measured by the maf sensor. I'd love to see links to what you're talking about?
The DZMR engine isn't bad you have to baby the hell out of it and deep clean it every 80k mi. Just did mine for the first time. Mad a hell of a difference. Plus did all the upgraded internals from, Corksport. Next mod is Cobb Stage 3. Will keep you updated.
The only thing that bugs me a bit, is that there are not as many parts available for it here in germany compared to let's say an EJ20/25 or EA888, but it's no wonder how much of a "niche platform" it is.
@@SK-zh8bi Hey 👋, so I wanted to get one. But I couldn't find one with the specs I like (gen 2 without the tech pack [I don't like push to start] built after 2010). And then I found a Nissan Stagea aka Skyline Wagon and I bought that instead.
@@LifeOfTuners im running both stock dis and idx 1050s port injection , people think they haven't enough fuel from the stock dis but in actual fact we have! These engines make more power with timing corrections, so to run more advanced timing we need more octane not fuel , hence 100% meth being used in most builds to bring the octane up , a good in tank mix of e30 or up will yield similar figures to meth kits without the risks!
@@LifeOfTuners all depends were you want to be i suppose, I know people getting good power from just a big turbo and running e85 , I wish I was aware of this before I splashed out on everything 😅 aw well its done just need a bigger snail now 💥

Also if you shifts get a little on the choppy side our cars cable set up stretch over time. Mine currently need replaced. I hope this has been some additional insight.
Damn, ik the axels on the 6s are quite sh*t (que the driver side rear) typical of the turbos to blow there seals, it's inescapable unfortunately, though all 3 and 6s only came with a k04, Sts use k03s.
I'd probaly start looking into the timing just so you can assure your valves and pistons don't desire to meet.up 😂
These cars ONLY come with a K04 stock.
My mistake. Maybe It was my St that had a k03.
Yeah algood
Got a 08 speed3, 230k kms on it. Runs mint, only “issues” were worn out parts and whatnot. No Tune, handful of bolt-ons.
That's awesome, glad to hear it! But yeah listen to the other guys, get a tune
i’d watch out, i knew some guy who had bolt ons and no tune and he blew up his motor 3 times. i think tunes not only make you more power but make you run safer. i’d get a tune if you have some bolt ons
Bolt ons and no tune?!? You're a madman
Definitely get an e-tune from Freektune or PurpleDrank based on your mods or you will regret it every time you have to put a new motor in it.
@@NewDemons666 exactly. i’m fbo and just running a cobb ots map but i’m most likely gonna try to get tuned from freektune
Great motor, so underrated

The 2jzgte vvti gtus is going back to 13b rotary!
www.mazdaforum.com/forum/mazda-rx-7-33/joe-maddox-super-rare-1-100-1989-fc3s-gtus-rx7-2jz-gte-vvti-build-43602/
I have found and saved the rarest Mazda FC RX7 ever made! Now this car is rare. Really rare! Let me break this down really quick...
Ever heard of the rare 100 GTUs rx7s? Only 40 have ever been claimed and only 15 are confirmed at the time of this posting! Here are the rarest rx7 FC3S models:
1500 10AE Turbo models
1400 infini
1000 winning limited
150 final edition convertible
100 GTUs...
out of that 100 they made three color options:
red on black
black on black
white on blue
There was only 100 GTUs models created between 1989 and 1991.
If you own one of these rare models sign your car up to the registry list here on any of the rotary forums!
There are rumors about a restamped GTUs model...
The entire origins GTUs owners thread on the rx7club was modified, icemarks claims deleted, registry list changed to have a confirmed section and the mods agree there are not enough GTUs models to have the restamped.
If you want the full story behind the restamped models:

Had my speed six since brand new I remember when I bought it the people at the dealership didn’t even know how to put it in reverse and I figured it out, got 180 on it now, I’ve done the transfer case transmission clutch VVT and a few other things on it, still bone stock
Damn you bought it brand new, that's sick, must really love it!
Had Mazda 6 mps for 8 years served me well but they are money pits to keep them going well.
Damn that's a long time, what cost a lot for yours
Just a great piece of engine! Just to much people trying to get power that by design and own limmits cannot deliver, even worst... without proper knowlege 😉..Good tunning and a couple of mods. You'll get 300 hp nice and reliable... Beyond that... Like for sure, things get narrowed for mistakes and can be blown like any other engine in same situacion
Yeah that's true, people also don't realize that once you modify any boosted car, reliabilty is going to fall, you can't improve power and expect everything else to increase as well, in most cases youre sacrisfing reliability
@@LifeOfTuners positive indeed Sir! 👍
Thats why ford use mazda engines.😂i bet in few years from now focus RS will have 2.5 turbo engine.ford will be using mazdas new 2.5 skyactive engine.i bet a million dollars😂
It's facts.
And man, that prediction, Is actually mental, thats so true lol, they'll have to wait till it's 13 years old though ,😂💀
Though, do they own the rights to it?
Jip.its strange.mazda have so much potential to build fast cars.but yet they concentrate on family cars and reliability.then companies like ford come and use their builds to power itself and to compare to the performance world
Yeah, it would be good for them to have a halo car to show customers how exciting they can be.
And after all the development, they can apply that to their passenger cars for better handling etc for cheaper
@@LifeOfTuners but trust me.companys like corsport and cobb will be in the line to upgrade the new mazda 3 turbo.maybe the mazda 3 turbo have alot of potential.its just restricted.something tells me ones u do software and proper bolt on's its gona be a total diffrent beast.just watch
Yeah, corksports already got a section of their website for it, I reckon a bigger turbo would transform the Mazda 3 turbo, cos stock it really runs out of guts at like 5k rpm
The engine is not bad you are just incompetent to maintain it
this is correct
What's up with your intro, that **hit is wack
facts 🤣
That nice Subaru rumble is only there with stock exhaust manifold. I lost that when I upgraded. Still sounds bad ass tho !
Yeah once those unequal length headers are gone, that classic rumble disappears, though you are right, even the sound from it being a boxer engine alone is still nice as
A bov with out a tune what a joke u can't tune for that on these cars
Apart from you can, hell even running a vta bov without a tune isn't as bad on these as it is on other cars, though still not ideal
The engine is as good as you treat it. MZR is an amazing engine when you first meet it. :)
That's what everyone seems to be saying 🙏
Straight facts my man! Charisma was the perfect word! Great vid man👊
Thank you! Yeah as dumb as it sounds, it's true
The intro....? 😂
.... It's..... Unique.....
So lovely my and my friend white mazdaz are in Yourt video :)
Btw the two white speeds in this video
BK - 150k milage - no issues, except one turbo fix - Tuned stage1
BL - 75k milage - no ussies, except one turbo fix - Full stock
The car is reliable, but the TURBO it will fail, no matter the oil changes or how u take care for the car. It will fail.
Thats the only issue.
Ay let's go! The videographer sent the film in! They're so clean
Damn 150k miles, and no timing chain issues, that's really good, shows what's possible with a good owner!
Meth injecton boom carbon gone
That's the fun way to do it 😈
Hey question for ya, could you tell me who’s speed3 is at 8:34? I’d like to talk to them! The suede covered gauge cluster hood is so good! I haven’t seen that anywhere before!
I don't understand shit
:(
Mzr for life. Gonna 2.5 swap a mazda 6
That's gotta be cool as, sounds mean!
Bro i been drivinrg mine foe abt 10 months in a chicago wether and i built it but ye a it comes with its problems like evry other car like the tominga componets are really weak to be a turbo engine
i bought my speed over the summer as my first car. i love this car so much. i honestly don’t think i’ll ever sell it. i’m waiting for the day imake my last payment to mod it:)
Such a mad first car, well done, enjoy it
How hard is it to learn on? I’m picking one up this week, test drove it and was good but I’m kinda nervous to take it on the rode
Some say It's a tiny bit hard to get into first, and the clutch feel is quite high, which is good tbh, I don't think it's that hard to drive?
@@LifeOfTuners yeah that might be it, I was giving it gas and slowly letting out the clutch until I fully let it out quickly and the car jerked hard af, I’ll have to work on where the catch point is at
@@T6travels the clutch feel to me is the best i’ve felt out of all the manual cars my friends have had and even the civic that was given to be before i bought this car. it just takes time to get used to it shouldn’t take more than a weekend worth of driving to get it down
400hp on stock internals...Not a bad engine. Nice videos man, keep em coming!!
Yeah exactly that's pretty good, thanks brother
Easy fix upgrage to the dual tooth timing
I have a 2009 mazdaspeed 3 every time the power kicks in and puts me in the seat I just wanna punch it so much more. I only had it for about a month and I already got a speeding ticket:P 80 in a 45
ahaha ofc, they do that to you ahaha
Not one mention of injectors in this video shows you don't actually know these engines well.
Hpfp don't do shit if you're injectors are 100k miles old...
Uhh I mean that is maintenece for them essentially
@@LifeOfTuners the #1 reasons these cars go zzb is injectors failure. 9 times of out 10 it's cyl 3...
This video does a disservice to all the noobs out there because it doesn't even mention injectors
I mean not really, it's usually either crap maintenece or sh*t tune. And like it's usually cylinder 3 also due to the poor intake manifold design
@@LifeOfTuners you are a parrot
Do some actual research and go on the Mazda speed forums
Lemme guess your MazdaSpeed blew up due to injectors and you think now that means it's the main reason? I don't know what country you're in, but over in Europe and NZ, the main cause is ignorant owner lmaooo
Wouldn’t say it’s junk more reliable then a Subaru and can make easier power out of my 7 friends tho we have blown 4 motors already and that’s with buying hpfp and ap first
We all have been stock block tho not built
Yeah true and damn that's pretty rough
@@LifeOfTuners my fbo s4 still going strong tho 💪
That's good to hear bro, it must haul!
@@LifeOfTuners I love driving it everyday just saving up for that built motor now
well as you can see from my pic, i own a speedSEX & have 214K on the original motor, had VVT done twice but other than that still kicking!
That's awesome bro, they are sweet cars
My 07 speed 3 had 143,000 everything is still stock. I just can't decide if I want the gen2 or speed6 also
Ah damn holy nice
My buddy bought an ms6 when it 1st came out. He loved that car so much. Had an awesome interior and looked great. Within a month the car was in the shop 4 time with motor issues. He forced mazda to lemon law the car. So yeah they are junk. And onetime after a 9 second hit. The track officials tried to give me a red motor mount because they thought it came from my car. Feel out of mazda speed3. Lol. Pure junk.
I mean that's like 1 car, and litterally every car manufacture makes lemons, whenever you buy a new car you either get a good one or a complete lemon, that's the hidden safety of going used to some extent
My speed6's turbo is burning oil. Anyone with a big turbo have any recommendations on a kit?
I mean the cst4 is solid and doesnt cost the world, but I'll be interested to hear from people who have experience with heaps of turbos
love ur videoes. they are sooo informational. thanks to u i did not buy a subaru wrx, but a mazda 3 mazdaspeed3/ mps and holy bananas i love this car 😍 greetings from swizerland 🤣
Yo nice! Well done bro, they are such good cars!
It means so much to hear such kind feedback like this, I really appreciate it 💛
@@LifeOfTuners i will follow ur instructions too. like my first mod will be hpfpi and some bodywork because he is a bit rough around the edges. gen1 mps with 100000 miles no timing cain issiues and was regular inspectet by the mazda dealership. my aim is widebody and 350 hp 😁
Ay that's the way man! Gotta be safe! And yeah that's good that it's been maintained well, thats the different of an engine lasting another 70,000 miles or not!
350 would be sick and with a widebody, to be able to fit in some THICC tyres should be fun as hell!
i have an 04 3 s 2.3 and its had major really bad rod knock for the past 15000 miles lmap
That's the big rips
I'm built block speed 👋
Ay nice! Would be fun af
Very fun indeed 380 is max for fuel system till you have to run aux fueling
Yeah for sure, though aux fueling does feel really cool, feeling the extra timing and fuel kick in
Same here got my built motor from Overspeed Motorsports
if people would stop abusing their speed 3 too often maybe the engine would last longer but they dont understand that its not good to rev that shit à 6k rpm on every corner
That's exactly it, they expect to be able to nuetral drop everywhere, redlining it from cold, service it every 10k miles, like ofc it will have problems if you do that
I’m running a gfb respons blow off valve on my gen 1 without a tune but I’m getting a hpfp soon will I be ok or should I take it off?
If it runs fine when you let off the gas, then its alright, if it starts stalling out or doing something that enjoys you take it off, or you could switch from vent to atmosphere to recirculation, I'm pretty sure all GFB Boca can do that?
Most reliable engine I've ever known, and I've been a kseries expert for over 20years... owned my original-owner, no accidents, 1st RSX-S sold in Austin TX, for nearly 23years. Been tuning Hondas for 20years... i got a taste of a 2008 Speed3 when I bought one in 2011. Owned 4 since, and it's more reliable than any honda motor EVER, including the kseries. It's an incredible motor and car. Over 200k miles on one, and the only maintenance I've done is regular carbon cleaning every 3k miles using the liquid cleaner method through the induction system, AC compressor clutch changed twice (still the original compressor), sway bar bushings all around twice, belt tensioner, new struts/shocks all around, and a new clutch w/ rear main seal once... oh, and regular oil changes. Obviously, tires and brake pads. That's it. Only mods are the dealer intake, rear motor mount insert, and lighter wheels. You can see the car in action here...
th-cam.com/video/aOZwJtH3O0E/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ttBKEpfWPT2DVmhX&t=2m38s
Editt: people will hate and doubt, and yes, original turbo, original fuel pumps, original timing components, original fuel injector seals, even the original pcv valve
If you’re on stock turbo. Run rotella t6
I just looked it up, that's a 5w-40, great if the stock turbo desires to take a duke and smoke
Don't use diesel oil in your gas engine...
Hooley sh*t how did I miss that it was deisel oil 💀
Yeah defo don't do that one lol
Rotella T6 heavy duty engine oil. Run it on my STI and Speed 3 for years. The amount of zinc in the oil is good for these motors
@@alexpaniagua9267 oil shear from gas is real.
I beat smoke out of my 6mps for last 4 year's, only hold back was injectors, port injection is the only way forward trust me 😃
Sorry for the late reply, yeah once you get some sort of aux fueling in way, plenty of power is coming your way
I got a 2.3 Mazda 6 2004 with 380000Kms still pulls like crazy, zero engine issues
Gosh damn! She's a trooper!
Every engine has its problems. I agree with everything in this video and I drive one. But if you know what you're doing. Anything is possible
That's all true, espically with higher powered turbo charged engines
Yes it’s junk. Tell me how to k swap my MPS already
No it's not :( just how they're treated
Someone is K swapping their gen 1 tho
Usually when an engine isn't good the car manufacturer will discontinue it, and that's the case with the mzr much as I love the motor and am putting an identical "reman" motor in I think it's faulty.
usually when an engines engine of they discontinue it 💀 it’s not because they’re not good, otherwise every car would be running a 20 year old engine
Honda B series and K series were great engines but Honda went turbo.
One of the best engines I've owned. Only thing gave me issues was turbo seals
That's typical isn't it, but every performance engine has its issues for the most part
@@LifeOfTuners And that isn't even directly part of the engine either. Goes to show how decently reliable they are.

😁😁
If you leave it stock, it will last a long time
Facts, though some people do want more ahaha
Biggest thing is servicing the injectors, a clogged injector will cause catastrophic failure!! you will also have to clean the carbon build up, being a DI system it will gunk up your valves. Basically the Mazdaspeed is not meant for a novice car owner. Do your research simple as that
That's it yes, it's not for beginner car enthusiasts, they require love
@@LifeOfTuners They really do! I've had mine for 6 years and shes done me great!
Great to here mate
So you said 2.3 Disi is a good engine. It can hold a nice power number etc. But if u want it to be reliable no dig races, only roll races. Stock 2.3 can not hold all the torque. I did in my speed 8 or 11 digs and it blew. The motor was in good condition, all stock, no mods at all. After that i did a little research and the truth is If u want a good realiable 2.3 u need forged internals. So a car with AWD (speed6) and you can't use this AWD system. WTF this is kinda lame. Stupid SR20 can take a lot of abuse in drifting and 2.3 can not handle a few starts from a dig...
Not really, it's all down to how the owner treats it/how well the cars been maintained etc. Even stock yes they can blow up if they're not treated well, Espically as higher milage is added to the equation.
About the torque talk, they can hold 400wtq if it's been tuned but someone who knows the platform and can tune the torque to come in later and build progressively
@@LifeOfTuners My speed3 was treated like a baby. My father's friend bought one new from a dealer, had it for 11 years then i got it with 89k miles. He did oil changes after 5k miles or less, never more and never launched the car. I started using all the power and a rod went throught the block. One time I thought i did heard a rod knocking like 2 or 3 knocks and it stops. 2 days later 1 more dig launch and it blew.
But if i am correct. it can take all the abuse, dig launches etc if the torque is tuned to hit way later ? i love mazdas, now i have 2015 mazda 3 but i'm thinking about getting gen 2 speed 3 for a project car but i am scared to blow another 2.3 disi.
Turbo charged engines are never going to be totally reliable!
They do burn oil
Not from factory though? They will once theyve been heavily modified (as happens to most Modified 4 cylinders)
My 3 has 199,000 kms. tuned at 201 kw atw, 400 nm atw at Possum Bourne here in NZ, drive it to work and back every day doesn't skip a beat.
Ay that's awesome, idk why but heaps of people seem to blow them up at 200k stock here in NZ idk y
i got my ms3 when i was 16 and i beat the shit out of it and the only thing that ever really broke was the thermostat and an evap leak from the fuel pump ring and both were east fixes
Oh damn, that's a sick car for that age, that isn't too bad
@@LifeOfTuners 5k worked for it and it was a fun car
It's always feels nicer when you work for it

Idk man, but thank you so much 🙏 defo wouldn't say I know anywhere near the most, but I do try my best to help and entertain as many people as I can after being into them for so damn long, Thank you
Just so you know a stock turbo on a GTI can handle the same 340 whp no worries. Mk7+
Yeah the mk7s have finominal tuning ability, however the mk5 and mk6 really don't, but they're owners still think they're as tunable as a mk7 or ms3 (the mk7 is far more tunable then a ms3)
@@LifeOfTuners oh yeah the adjustable cams on the E888 motors are pretty tuner friendly lol.
They are insane
2010 with 143k miles still running strong, FBO tuned by Justin at 20psi. Haven't had many problems with her Absolutely LOVE my speed!
That Is awesome bro, we need more good owners like you to show how good they are!
I made 340whp on a 200,000km motor unopened. They aren’t bad engines. I only rolled into power, never abused it and never dumped it or launched it hard.
Thats exactly it! You treat it well
Im fbo and i launch mine every time i drive it lol
Ahahaha Harty Guy 😈
I have a 2008 'Speed 3 w/ 97K miles. No mods (except for a CP-e short ram intake). The only problem is the occasional exhaust smoke (from the K04 turbo) when at extended idle. Does it need a new turbo to stop that problem? Yes. Is it worth the $2K or so (on a car that's currently worth like $4K) to do so? Nope. Does it still work well and make plenty of power? Yup. Oh, and Koni FSD's in place of the OEM dampers were a great move. That's it. Change the oil and fluids regularly and it runs great!
Yes! Couldn't agree more, with your turbo, maybe try find a used k04 if you don't wanna go big turbo? Have you switched up to a 5w40 oil?
@@LifeOfTuners Next oil change, I'll use Rotella 5w40. And if I do replace the turbo, it will be the BNR stage 1 turbo. Definitely not going big turbo. If I want more power, I'll get a rear-wheel drive car. No sense in having a front-wheel drive car with 300+ hp. That's just silly. :-)
So what if I want a sub 350 hp daily shredder? Should I?
Yesssssss do it!!!!! Maintain it well and make sure you have a good tuner!
@@LifeOfTuners thank you, it probably won’t be driven as much because I’m heading off to college soon, but it’ll definitely be a beast cruisin threw campus Breakin necks lol 😂
Oh definitely, it'd be so sick!
good video, helps with alot of the bad shit thrown around with these cars, yeah they can be a problem but like you said, get it done cheap and its gonna blow lol!! but I 100% agree on the VTO BOV, I highly recommend not running it like this unless tuned. Bought my Gen2 Speed 3 with one installed and all it was doing was throwing up engine lights and causing my car to run SUPER rich, removed it and chucked the OEM one back on and its been fine ever since. Only advantage would be holding boost a little better higher up the revs but the K04 looses its puff after 5500rpm any way :P
Yeah that's what I hoped it would do, it's weird cos I hear a lot of people say their vto bov didn't hurt that much, other say it does. Though I guess if you wanted to hold more boost and be good for the engine you could just get a new recirc valve
I been full bolts on for like 70k miles and no issues 😄
That is mad, well done
Had a 2010 genpu/gen 2 stage 2 a few years ago with over 100k miles. Best and most reliable car I've ever owned and only lost it because of a deer hit. Hoping to get another one. Love these things so much.
Damn, that's rough, such a sad way to go, I do hope you find another one!
ur so right it is addicting 😹😹 100% right
Ay thank you, just had to state facts 🤷♀️
Very good engine
Facts 💪
You cannot tune for a BOV. You just have to deal with running rich for a split second.
Yes you can, a proper tuner can adjust the ecu to not account for extra air from the bypass valve ricirculating when letting off the gas
@@LifeOfTuners Okay well when Will Dawson one of the most reputable tuners for the speed platform makes an announcement saying there is no way to accurately tune for a BOV, I’m taking his word over yours. Lol
That's one tuner and I'm sure you've misunderstood, there's never been any contention in the scene on this, it's a known fact
@@LifeOfTuners Blow off happens off throttle, you can’t tune for something off throttle, and uh no, tuned by nishan agrees as well, have you not watched the educational videos on the mazdaspeed forums. I get it you think you know everything but
Can you drop the links for this?
Factory is a recirc valve, meaning when let off, the boost pressure is rerouted to after the throttle body (and ofc the maf sensor) since the maf sensor can't read this, from factory the ecu is programmed to account for this extra air to maintain afrs.
However with a VTA, the boost pressure is vented to atmosphere, so the ecu calculates it's afrs to include that boost pressure that it no longer recieves, it can be tuned so that the ecu relies on the air only measured by the maf sensor.
I'd love to see links to what you're talking about?
I love my gen 1. I don't think I'll ever sell it
That's passion my man 💛
Awesome vid man. Hope y'all keep growing!
That's broski, I sure hope so too!
The DZMR engine isn't bad you have to baby the hell out of it and deep clean it every 80k mi. Just did mine for the first time. Mad a hell of a difference. Plus did all the upgraded internals from, Corksport. Next mod is Cobb Stage 3. Will keep you updated.

@@LifeOfTuners im running both stock dis and idx 1050s port injection , people think they haven't enough fuel from the stock dis but in actual fact we have! These engines make more power with timing corrections, so to run more advanced timing we need more octane not fuel , hence 100% meth being used in most builds to bring the octane up , a good in tank mix of e30 or up will yield similar figures to meth kits without the risks!
