    I just bought my dream car! A 2012 Mazdaspeed3 in black ! I have wanted one since the 8th grade, took me until 31 years old to be able to justify one! All stock, 92k miles, i have been watching all your videos! thanks for the content! I especially like when you met that guy with the white rally Mazdaspeed and rebuilt it ! so cool!

    1st power mod...
    COBB ACCESSPORT period...
    then internals
    then intake exhaust ect ect.
    you won't get the full benifit of any power mods until you get an accessport.

      Hey guys, I'm not a MS3 owner but I have a turbo car as well. I was like Cam describe wanting that woosh sound but it doesn't sound like its recommended to go that route.
      Recently shelled out some big money for coilovers and installed them. The shop also does tunes but strangers on the internet seem more helpful than the shop is who claim big horse power from no preventative mods. The guys just said yeah your motor can handle a 50% increase in power from just the tune and CAI. Like I'm completely unaware while they had cars in their shops with blown motors presumably from their tunes.
      Regarding the Cobb device, it isn't available for my car but doesn't an OBDII device with Torque (Android app) do the same thing? It has a lot of monitors in that app.

    You are my freaking hero! I have a 2012 2.5, and will be getting a sp3 sometime soon, as the 2.5 is not so friendly when it comes to modding , specifically slapping a turbo in it, new Ecu with wakey tunes, new injectors, high flow pumps.. Bla blah blah, not passing the Ontario clean drive test... Ugh...it goes on , so i really want a sp3 for a better "modding experience" , I will be watching all your videos! Keep it up! So pumped

    @aldenjohnregimbal 7 лет назад +5

    I agree with almost everything! I wouldn't get a bpv if your on a budget unless your stocker is leaking, but they're usually good up to 21psi. And if I had to buy an intake again, I would just go straight to a 3-3.5" intake. Wish I'd have done that from the start. -_-

On a scale of 1-10, how difficult was the installation process for the hpfp ? I already got my res delete. It was the first thing I did lol.

  • @BabyCharlotteschannel
    @BabyCharlotteschannel Год назад

    Good video, BUT, first thing to do with a new to you car is FULLY SERVICING IT!! going over everything, under hood and under car, grease everything, change fluids etc etc!!
    Mod wise, better intake and exhaust are usually good, and definitely fine tuning at the very least, tightening blow off valve spring if able, and silicone hoses, better intercooler if driving hard, and of course either get it tuned or get an axcessport with whatever tune you need, etc..

  • @zacharycohen3130
    @zacharycohen3130 7 лет назад

    Elaborating more on the vta or recirc topic. The reason to run recirculated is because the MAF meters the air entering the engine. The pressurized air thats still in the charge pipes was still metered. If you let it vent to the atmosphere, the engine reads a lean condition due to letting the air go rather than keeping it in the system. In turn, the ecu dumps in fuel making the car run rich between shifts to compensate for the missing air.

    @namek1925 7 лет назад

    RMM yes. Passanger motor mount yes and no depends on what your goals are with the mount you get transmission whined sounds like another muffler in front of the car to me. trans mount will make it even louder. Just replace your old mount with a new one or if you don't mind having a loud sound from the front of the car then try a aftermarket mount. Lowering/good shocks/good tires helps alot with traction also. Warm the car up before you get on it! Take care of it and it will take care of you no need to WOT everywhere you go. Engines are not cheap.

  • @Immortaliz3d
    @Immortaliz3d 7 лет назад +1

    The stock bypass valve isn't necessary to upgrade until it starts leaking or breaks. With buying the aftermarket one you just add a new part that needs maintenance. Only reason to change it would be for looks or the sound really.

    I have a 2010 MS3 and I got the resonator delete and the JBR 88a RMM, and now I'm saving up for the Accessport (won't run tunes yet, I'm getting it for the launch control), then I'm going to get the HPFP internals, then intake and TIP, then downpipe. The terrible thing though is I live in Canada, so the HPFP internals are almost $600, the Accessport is almost $900, etc. I also just bought Evo X BBS wheels and tires today so I have another 20mm of tire and 1inch width of rim. As long as I don't lower it, 245s don't rub, which is nice.

    I have a Mazdaspeed6, which I believe is pretty much identical to the MS3 mechanically speaking (save for the AWD). Right now I have an Accessport OTS Stage 1+ map with a SRI and turbo inlet pipe and a BPV, with stock HPFP internals. So far I haven't had any trouble, though I do plan on replacing those in the near future. What would you suggest should come next? (I don't want to go EXTRA LOUD, though.)

And I'm also 20 with a 2012 speed3 same color as yours haha it's my first turbo car and this vid helped just out of curiosity what miles does your odometer say mine is at 54k mine is almost stock with the exception of a magnaflow cat back. I can't wait to get mine back, I was driving home from work at 2am and a deer jumped into me, so she's being pampered and patched up in the body shop.

      Make sure oil was changed regularly 5k miles at least per change. Check the timing chain (quick check stick your finger in the oil tank and feel how tight the chain is) if loose it will need to be changed. Check all fluids of course. And try to look for any leaks splatter in the engine bay or leaks under the car (if you can).

    Good videos for people looking to get into speeds, but gotta get the modding order correct for safety sake.
    Before you do anything, first power mod should be a Cobb AP, and the mandatory reliability mod would be fuel pump internals.
    Basically any power mod needs a Cobb AP, for example a common beginner mod would be an intake, and most aftermarket intakes and inlet pipes use a larger diameter than stock, thus you'll have a higher risk of blowing the engine due to running it lean. Additionally, it is also better to go with companies that offer a OTS map with their mods to load on your vehicle if you are not planning to get a custom tune any time soon.

    • @TysonJ-gk6mu
      @TysonJ-gk6mu Год назад

      So do you have to get a better fuel pump to keep the engine reliable while running an intake?

    • @stoneee1234
      @stoneee1234 Год назад

      @@TysonJ-gk6mu Not necessarily, in theory as long as the map and vehicle config is stock or equivalent then you should be safe. But in reality it may be a roll of the dice thing, as there is still the possibility some cars have pressure dips under wot even while stock, especially with growing age, and it would be hard to tell without monitoring/datalogging.
      At this point in time, as a general rule of thumb I would take the HPFP internal upgrade as a prerequisite whether you are planning to mod it or not just to be on the safe side.

    Where were you when I had my True Red '08 Speed 3 from 2008 - 2015? I had no idea what mods were available so I contacted a local speed shop and they wouldn't give me the time of day! I ended up with a dealer-installed cold air intake and, after it was installed, they warned me against driving through any standing water in the street as the intake inlet is only about 7 - 8 inches above the pavement (living in Tampa FL guarantees you will end up in standing water sooner or later). I probably came extremely close to blowing my engine when I was forced through standing water in a busy intersection after a cloud burst. Fortunately I was able to quickly pull over (coasting) and crank the engine to blow out the ingested water. Miraculously it started afterward without engine damage but the turbo's life was compromised and had to be replaced a couple years later. I now have a 2016 Golf R purchased from a dealer with its own tuner shop so the R is now APR Stage 2 with just under 400 HP. I still have many fond memories of my Speed 3 having owned it for 7 1/2 years and nearly 130K mi. Knowing what I know now, I could have modded it much more and gotten even more fun out of it.

    hey Cameron, just a question mate. Do you have any idea why peoples first 3 mods are downpipe, fuel pump upgrade and a custome tune? Because im actually considering following that footpath. Thanks mate👍

    • @CameronAlford
      @CameronAlford  7 лет назад

      Fuel pump internals because the car will run lean without them. Downpipe because the car sounds a heck of a lot better and the flow is much much better and makes more power. Custom tune so your motor runs just right and you get the most reliable power.

      Aki Padre Hey man, Cameron's pretty much spot on with the path you should take. If money is the issue just start out with the access port then high pressure fuel pump. Then whenever you get the downpipe you can just switch the tune. I would highly recommend a rear motor mount be high on the list! Any other questions let me know! Best of luck!
