How to build a RELIABLE MAZDASPEED 6/3 MPS

[@LifeOfTuners]

Thanks to Caesar Cortez for this! 1:54 🤦‍♂️ forgot to put the word, rpm in. * Please note that stock power levels will be the most reliable, hell, tune it for less power for max reliability *

[@princesssolace4337]

I tune it for more power at stock rpm so that the stock whp will be in the lower rpm with the same peak boost level for reliability if it makes any sense😅

[@LifeOfTuners]

Yeah I think I understand

[@martinyzfr]

I'll tune it for less power to get better mileage and to get used to the car better since it's my second car, first car being a škoda favorit (0-60 in 15 seconds at best lmao)

[@LifeOfTuners]

Found a stock 2005 Mazda6 MPS which is sleeper as fuck

[@paulofelicianosaningo7369]

Champion! I bought a new engine for my mazdaspeed 3, and it's running strong due to watching your videos. You videos encouraged me in trusting mazdaspeed platform.

[@jbaguam80]

08 Speed 3. 117k miles. still running strong. Stock turbo. But changed Stock intercooler, Cold air intake, straight piped, changed fuel rail and injectors, Turbosmart BPV, Cork sport injector seals (I highly recommend). Just oil changes and fluid flushes. I don't driver it hard either.

[@LifeOfTuners]

Yes! If you know what you're doing and treat it well, it will treat you well

I run a balance shaft delete did Hastings king bearings rotella oil deleted the oil filter housing and did spin on oil filter and 50/50 bypass valve. And timing chain from a 2.5 cx7 with full timing kit

[@tonykarata9398]

Hastings rings

[@LifeOfTuners]

Sounds like a beast 🙏 yes good idea, some people don't realise, but the 2.5 timing set does fit and is much stronger

[@tonykarata9398]

All Performance Cars i don’t understand what they run suck crappy timing set up its a ticking time bomb ..... and plus the oil that people tun have lots to do woth it u run rotela and its beel flawless !!

[@LifeOfTuners]

Yeah me neither, I've heard a lot about this Rotella oil, though one that someone said was for diesel

[@tonykarata9398]

All Performance Cars it is a disel oil but durect injection its almost loke diselt theirs alot of stress in the combustion chambed ..... my frinds run it and its great

[@peterjrcoolidge]

Mine is stock at 104k miles. No issues besides some spark plug misfires. I don’t plan on getting mods for it. I don’t race with it it’s my work/school car and that’s really about it. I hope this thing can run to 200k with little to no issues

[@LifeOfTuners]

if you treat it well

[@mazdasp33d33]

2013 BL - 50k miles on it everything stock except : Airtec tmic and catback exhaust. No mods bolt on etc I had to replace the turbo as it was dying on me other then that, 4k oil change visit track days all the time, drive the car very hard. Set of tires every 10k miles tops. Reliable car no issues

[@LifeOfTuners]

Ay nice, might want new hpfp with the tmic?

Still trying to buy a speed dude. Meanwhile I’m rewatching all your videos on Mazdaspeeds🥰 Greetings from USA 🇺🇸

Good luck! You'll find one, just make sure it is the one you really want! Thanks for watching!

[@yamahatownmate8476]

Same here😂 i want so bad an speed6 i find some of them but they have like 80-120k miles i dont know man i think im gonna buy it and rebuild some day with forced parts and keep it like 300-400hp

[@j7sportvideo24]

@@yamahatownmate8476 Never found one bro. I gave up the search. They're rare in my area. I was looking for a 2010+ but they're too expensive for the millage. It's understandable with inflation and all that. You cant even get a 6th gen civic for under 3k anymore. Maybe in the future. Good luck

[@MrBrunchbreaker]

Sick helpful Video. I got a BK one week ago and I love it. EGR delete and catch can + new motor mount are my first upgrades. One question though, what are doing about the water in the catch can freezing to ice during winter and blocking it?

[@LifeOfTuners]

Ay nice car bro! Thoughts are some good mods to do! I can't say I know what to do with freezing in the catch can, as I live in a country that doesn't snow :( Maybe could you like take it out and rest it in a bowl of (comparitivly) warm water to make it melt?

[@MrBrunchbreaker]

@@LifeOfTuners We get like -15 or even -20°C here in South Germany near the Alps (5°Fahrenheit). It will stay frozen, that's my concern 😂

[@LifeOfTuners]

Damnnn! Here in New Zealand under like 16°C is considered really damn cold 😂 24°c is like a normal temperature

[@zoormagoodness]

You could make an oil or coolant line out of ss that spirals around the catch can to melt the ice

[@MrBrunchbreaker]

@@LifeOfTuners Ahh a Kiwi! I've been Road tripping in NZ for 4 months, saw the whole country. The coldest I experienced there was near Queenstown -6°C. U guys have crazy roads, I was constantly pushing my Campervan Mitsubishi chariot grandis 😂👍🏻 I've never seen so many rubber marks on the road as well, Whangarei Area is wild.

[@Kaandacan]

sold my 2nd gen I miss it but my close friend has it! Tuned by Justin on 93 20 psi my homie just hit 140k miles and no issues :) He and I both did and do 3k oil changes 5w-40 and constantly checking up on maintenance

[@LifeOfTuners]

Damn! What a unit, that's how it's done! Its old owner must've been a good one 😏

[@MetroidGamerFan]

About the low down torque. Is that another reason why the EJ207 is more reliable than the EJ257?

[@LifeOfTuners]

I'd assume so yes, torque is what kills an engine, and you always make the most torque down low

[@Rayvisin]

People for get about one of the most things about turbo engines.... fuel quality. Constantly used regular unleaded will cause the engine parts run hotter. Over time weakening the metal.

Can the stock injectors handle E85? On the gen1

[@LifeOfTuners]

usually people run about e30, due to the fact e85 requires more fuel, on these cars e30 is more efficient so you don’t run out of capacity

Hello, I am running my 07 mazdaspeed 3 on 93, but the stock turbo burn oil every hard pull., I have I lot mods in my speed but not tunned yet.,

you should definitely tune it soon, especially if you give it gas a lot lol

Does anyone know which Ford oil pump is similar with the 3 MPS (speed3) oilpump?

[@LifeOfTuners]

Isn't it the ecoboost 2.3? I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it's right?

[@popomomo12]

If anyone has a spare ms3 oil pump I can compare to ford 2.3 and 2.0 ecoboost

[@extz_dreamzzyt352]

Could you make a vid about custom a mazdaspeed 6

[@LifeOfTuners]

I have no idea how to do that sorry :( And honestly I wouldn't recommend it, these engines are quite finicky, and require a tuner that knows exactly how to tune these and how they react

[@walshgaming4421]

Whats a good BOV for the mazda 6 mps

Anything that's a recirculation valve if you're not wanting to have it tuned, a lot of people run GFB, CorkSport, hks, etc

If you don't have E85 could you also use 100 RON or 102 RON which is offered here in Germany by Shell (V-Power 100 RON) and Aral (Ultimate 102 RON)?

[@MrBrunchbreaker]

It's actually recommend by MAZDA to get Super Plus high octane fuel.

[@LifeOfTuners]

Yeah for sure! The stronger the fuel the better

[@MetroidGamerFan]

Ofc but Super plus is 98 RON and that's the least they say.

[@LifeOfTuners]

Yeah Germany's pump fuel is wayyyyy to good. Must be influenced by the Autobarn and Nurburgring I'd say

[@MetroidGamerFan]

@@LifeOfTuners Haha, but you're right at least we got those 2 companies to offer higher octane fuel

Please no one remove the balance shaft in the name of reliability, because it definitely wont help in that area.

[@LifeOfTuners]

Ive heard that it's good as it puts less weight and stress for the engine to turn over, making it easier to run and I can't say I've ever heard of anyone having problems because of a balance Shaft delete

[@zoormagoodness]

@@LifeOfTuners Yes that is true, but the purpose of the BS is to counteract dynamic forces and an unbalanced engine is less reliable than one that is balanced but carries more mass

[@LifeOfTuners]

Hmmmm true yeah, idk do they make like a lightweight balance Shaft 😂 I might have to delete those parts from the video?

[@zoormagoodness]

@@LifeOfTuners Not that I'm aware of. Up to you man, just thought I'd let you know

If you want a reliable Mazdaspeed3 then dont tune it. If you want a fast fwd car you already got a stock Mazdaspeed3 which is a fast fwd car :D If you want a really fast car, then you need RWD or AWD No point in modding ms3

If you do it right, keep it under 300whp, you don't sacrifice too much reliability, plus a tune will be nessisary if you want to switch out the bad stock turbo
