    boost

    besides, if you swap a ms3 motor, you still have to get fmic. There is no room for it in the sedan... The hood is raised on the ms3. Either get a MS3 or get a reputable kit (ie. tripoint), forged internals, a good shop, and a good tune.... Or don't do it at all. Because of my mishaps... I...

    boost

    Build your motor first. I did not and my car did not make it through tuning, Snapped a rod and went through the block. Another engine, forged pistons and rods, much time and money that I didn't have later... I am now driving my car... :) However, the compression ratio on factory MZ3 vs MS3 is...

    Custom Exhaust

    Don't think the speed3 test pipe will work. The angle upward toward the downpipe on the speed3 where as the MZ3 header comes out level to the flange of the Cat. You will probably have to do a custom job on that one as stated by hat1018. If you look at pics of a test pipe for the speed3 you...

    2006 Mazda 3s 2.3

    Yea I know that's what was happening, see The guy that did my install also tried to tune... Which he should have said "hey take it to the shop for a dyno tune" It was coming along but it took its toll on the engine and snapped a rod and went through the block. So I got the pistons and rods and...

    2006 Mazda 3s 2.3

    Nope, that's not why the motor blew... It was during tuning, That's another story having to do with the guy that did the initial work for me. After that I put in Eagle Rods, Supertech 9:1 pistons (lower CR that is). Yes the stock ecu does step in but it has to do with the long term fuel trim...

    2006 Mazda 3s 2.3

    MS3 is also Direct injection, MZ3 is not. The intake manifold is different... The motor is similar but there are a decent amount of differences. Also you don't need a MS3 ecu... That's what engine management is there for. I don't know but a MS3 ecu may not work correctly on a MZ3. You just...

    ok, $180 plus ship sounds good. I will check on the shipping for you. I work the next 2 days so it will probably be thursday or friday when I get that info for you. Do you have a preference on the carrier? UPS, FedEx? Also, when you get the money we can do paypal. That's probably the...

    wtb mazda 3 cylinder head

    Well, I'd like to sell it as a whole if I could. Also, I'm not really that mechanically inclined so.... Other than brakes, oil changes.. little things like that, I don't really do much work on cars so I'd have to figure that out. How much would you be looking to spend for them anyway?

    wtb mazda 3 cylinder head

    yea, its good. I didn't even clean it before I took the pictures. Well, I'm not sure how much used cams would sell for to subtract. I would like to get $175 plus shipping for it if you would go for that. That takes $75 off for the cams. Used cams shouldn't be any more than that. Let me know...
