Mazda does it! 274HP 2.3L

[SlowMazda]

274hp and how much does the car weigh?

 

[Da 6]

3500!

lil more than 6s(3.0 V6) and ahell of alot more than 6i(2.3 I4) Beleve the handeling is way better on GT4 than those reviews

damn, it's a whale!


... so am I the only person on this forum without a copy of GT4??

yes for the cars weight the 7inch wide rim is too narrow even with summer only tires(non michelins!). My ATX 6i is 3095 and if I had the hatch it would be lil heavier but not like the mps6! Once people here can actualy get #s to deny our claims i'd be a happeir person...
Sad thing is most people wouldn't by a stripped out 6 so all those packages are there to make the MSRP "worth wild". theyd didn't comare it directy to the Evo and STi But...they compared features to it. Even against the Legacy(actual competiton) the AWD setup is still too inferior to compare.

Ok so tell me why the cosworth cold air intake and throttle body wont fit on the cosworth intake manifold.......
i dont think a car company would change the bolt patterns for an engine unless there is a really good reason(or they want to mak money off of it), and since the mazda3 is built on the focus platform i really doubt there was that big of a reason, and the sooner i buy the kit and attempt to put it on the sooner i will be in here letting everyone know if i was right or wrong.

it's a Duratec block and from there on up it's all Mazda baby!
Oh, and the platform engineering was lead by Mazda, and ended up so bloody good Volvo and Ford are using it for THEIR next gen vehicles!

read, learn, absorb!

great links airman & da6....I wish more people would do that.....I'm still pretty confused, but less than I was......

Vis=Vilm and disregard VAD thats a 6 only thing. vad is a sensor that sends codes when unplugged All cai except CP-e) but won't send cels. It's something dealers look for on our cars when a cel for the fuel trim code pops up. It's there for sound purposes under vvt. When vad is closed the box is less than 40% efficient. Reason our hp increase over the 3 is difrent. we had more restrictions on intake air
