Alright guys, so here's a quick back story. I was coming back home on the freeway right after work going roughly around 80mph when my 03 protege lx (FS) MT non-turbo overheated and turned off on me. Since this happened while the car was still in motion, I attempted to start it again while I...

Hi, I am getting a intermittent noise on my wifes '06 Mazda 5 Sport, the car develops a noise whilst driving. It sounds like a motor has started running and after a couple of seconds you hear a click as it stops. I am assuming the click is from a relay? the noise seems to be coming from under...

I was going to turbo charge by P5 but never did so I am selling my forged internals. these were never installed and are still in their original packaging as pictured. If you are looking to make power and don't want to worry about your engine, this is the way to go. Crower Rods: the strongest...

I just grenaded my 2002 P5 engine and am looking for a direct replacement. Original engine had 162,000 miles on it. Been driving this since new and def don't want this to be the end of it! If anyone has a long block, let me know what you want for it. Thanks so much! -Justin

I'm currently having a bit of an issue with things breaking on my car. I've had to pull the engine because of a spun rod bearing and every step along the way leads to yet another part I have to fix or replace (the under body is rusted pretty fierce in some spots). To the point, the factory roll...

Greetings fellow Mazdaites. Mazdans? (Mazda owners sounds too generic). I also hope this thread is in the correct place. To the point...I am currently ready to pull the engine from my 03 Protege LX w/auto tranny and would like some advice, hints, tricks, or whatever that could assist with the...

We need help because nobody knows whats cause it or even how to fix it. Last week, out of nowhere, around 5 indicator lights (BSM OFF, TCM OFF, battery, oil, seatbelt) on the dashboard turned on. I took it to the dealer service, they think it was because of the "after market" trailer hitch...

Recently bought a Injen CAI for my 2015 Mazda 6 but I havent installed it yet because this mechanic was talking to me and told me that the filter on the end of it is too close to the ground and if i went in water as shallow as 2 inches that it could suck up water and ruin my engine, resulting in...

Hey guys, just a quick question about the rotary engines. I was thinking about buying an '83 RX7 off someone, but they said it dies whenever it goes under 2,000 RPMS. Apparently the carb was rebuilt, and they don't think it's the vacuum or timing. They suggested that it is a "blown" rotor in the...

What is the best shortblock to get quality (forged) parts in? I am skeptical of Cp-e shortblocks because they have K1 rods in them, and I have heard nothing but bad news from those. My rods are currently bent, and I figured this is the time to rebuild BIG. I want this engine to last me, and also...

Hello everyone. Just replaced alternator in 2006 Mazda5. Since the online info world sucks for Mazda5 How-to's I figured I would post here for anyone wanting to do this. Very easy and straight forward. Minimal tools needed and should not take long for anyone that likes to work on things...

Hi all. I just purchased a new-to-me 2010 CX-9 GT AWD with 25k miles. After scouring the forums, I'm starting to freak myself out that there might be a transfer case issue, but the symptoms don't really match up with what I'm reading on here. Anyway, when accelerating from a stop, and only in...

My mazda has ran fine no real issues to speak of, then one evening when getting in to drive home from work the car would turn over, fire off begin to idle then die but after about 3 times ran perfectly fine. Got home turned it off and it fired up no issue, next morning it was doing the same so i...

I just had the head rebuilt, and as soon as I got it back together and running it threw a rod. Any suggestions on a new short block to get and where to find one? I figured I'd go big and get forged parts so this never happens again too.
