2007 Mazdaspeed 3
I heard from the dealership that there will be a $1500 upgrade for the MS3, does anyone know any information on this UPGRADE?
 
Yeah I think I heard around $2000 and it takes the HP up to 300HP. I just really can't find info on it. Here is the one link I found.

"Accessorizing
For those who aren't satisfied with a stock MAZDASPEED3, there are plenty of parts available from Mazda that can enhance style, handling or power.

"Our objective with the Mazda Accessories program is to provide products that actually enhance the driving experience for Mazda customers," said Jack Stavana, director of accessory operations for Mazda North America. "Mazda drivers are young and passionate, and Mazda accessories provide them with the means of expressing their enthusiasm on their vehicle."

To illustrate some of the customizing that can be done to a MAZDASPEED3, Stavana had a special MAZDASPEED3 at the track, outfitted with suspension upgrades, new wheels and a cold air intake. Stavana said the cold air intake adds about 30 horsepower, with virtually no increase in emissions. And, as with all other genuine Mazda accessories, the alterations are all covered by the factory warranty.

We drove this customized car on the track and were extremely impressed. With the additional power and firmer suspension, we were going into turns as much as 20 mph faster than with the unaltered MAZDASPEED3. The suspension would probably provide a rough ride on the street, but on track it felt superb.

Stavana said that prices had not been finalized yet for these parts, but he estimated that the changes made to his car were valued around $2,500. The cold air intake alone is under $1,000, which means you could have a MAZDASPEED3 with almost 300 horsepower for under $25,000! Which brings us to the best part. "

I really dont think that a cold air intake would add 30 ponies. Maybe cai and intercooler upgrade. If anyone sees info on this please post.
 
I had a supercharged SVT Cobra and it picked up 20hp with nothing but a K and N. If the intake is restricted on a forced induction vehicle, I can see a CAI making 30hp. Keep in mind the same motor makes 273 in the 6 and the reason is supposed to be the plumbing.
 
Wow an extra 30hp with a CAI...hmm

The new top mount that came out for the MS3 added 20 to the wheels...I wonder if that is what they are refering to.

Yea, FI takes in mods very well, especially intake/exhaust modifications.
 
So i am almost believing that the intercooler upgrade and maybe some sort of cai is involved in the upgrade. So the intercooler=$560,cai=(maybe) $300. Might get you 30 horse. intercooler+cai=290-300 ponies!!!
 
thats makes more sense to me, the plumbing really doesnt look all that restrictive on the ms3.

remember that they're not talking whp, they're talking crank HP too.
 
yeah so the increase will be well less than that 20 pony gain!!!! Maybe 15 pony increase at most.
 
When will this be available? Will it be a dealer upgrade with intact warranty and everything?
 
From what i am told, it will be a dealer installed option and will not void any warranty. Availability is yet to be determined.
 
Total extra hp will be devided between a CAI and a Cat Back exauxt system. It will equal 35 extra ..How its split, i don't know but the dealer in canada will install for $1200.

My Mazdaspeed MX-5 gained 16 WHP with just a SRI. Dyno proven. The intake was installed while the car was strapped to the dyno.
