Hey I live in Australia, there is a Mazda 6 for sale which is missing the top end of the motor, they’re looking for $3500, is that worth? I dont mind doing the repairs, but where can I source an engine top, or whole engine? If I can find any in SA?
Is that a Speed 6? If so I'd say it's defo worth it, to give an idea a speed 6 with a fully blown engine and no reg cost about $3500nzd here in New Zealand. Also how many Kms are on the short block? I don't know where to buy Mazda engine parts over in Australia, hopefully one of our other Aussie veiwers can help you out with that, though ik here in New Zealand you'll see them for sale in Mazdaspeed buy and sell groups on Facebook
@@LifeOfTuners yeah it’s a speed 6, I’m unsure of how many kms are on the short block, I might make it a project to swap the engine, what should I be looking for? Also I’ll check out some buy swap groups for the speed 6!
Oh yeah, I'd find out how many Kms are on it, because if its not too high, then just buy a head for it, that way you'll really feel the full value of it. Because engines for these things arent the cheapest. In terms of engines, just know that they will tend to want to blow up once they reach 200,000kms, though could go earlier or later. Other then that, check the compression of it, maintenance records and see if the timing belt is due for a change or if it has already
I bought my 2007 Speed 3 six years ago with 82,000 miles, bone stock. Now it’s 173,400 miles full bolt on, bigger turbo, tuned (obviously) and still on the stock motor. If installing aftermarket parts all it comes down to is doing your research, going with quality, trusted brands, regular maintenance and a proper tune.
For higher mileage, and especially modified speeds, having aftermarket injector seals and having had the injectors serviced and flow tested would be good too. Great vid!
@@BabyCharlotteschannel Pcv valve and plate is another good one, the original plate enables oil to be pushed through the valve, which is something you really don't want. There are aftermarket plates which stop most of it, and it's even better when combined with an oil catch can.
Some common problems: × High fuel consumption than some rivals; × Sparkplugs wear out fast; × High Oil Consumption × Weak standard mounts (rmm,tmm &pmm); × Worn VVT actuator cause timming chain to streach fast, you can notice by cold start rattle; × Turbo seals may go out soon if there exhaust modifications × Front tyres go out faster Apart from this they're very solid cars, Superb Handling, fun to drive and fast (can be seriously fast if modded)
Nah man, it should be allgood, the only thing that worsens it exhaust wise is a cat delete or going to a wider diameter exhaust system. Technically those actually don't make it worse, they just show the smoke a lot easier, for example if your turbo was already smoking a little bit and then you did a cat delete, the smoke would now be thicker
@@LifeOfTuners good to know cheers. Im planning to get a bov, intake and some bolt ons in the future, not really planning to do too much power mods, do you think id still require an hpfp( i know its not as bad as gen 2)
I know some viral car related RUclips channels but they don't explain as good as you did. I learned a lot about Speed 6. Now I own a Mazda 6 with 2.3 NA engine. I'm gonna buy a Speed 6 i think next year.
For the 2006-2008 Mazda 6 3.0 NA's, I learned how to tune mine. Citrix open port v2 to plugin, and Mazdaedit to adjust the software. Hopefully this helps someone
I have a mazspeed 6 with that rare ebony colour you're talking about. I was wondering if it would be more value to keep the same colour for respray or change it ??
The MPS 6 I just bought has 208.000 km on it and cost me 7750 euros, with the black RX8 wheels and some really nice Goodyear winter tires and Goodyear summer tires on the original wheels thrown in there. Good deal if you ask me.
hope you notice this, im looking at a gen 2 speed 3 2012, and it doesnt have a log book mechanic said it got rear ended but needed to replace bumper and tail lights only, Currently sitting at 116k for 15k$ is it worth it?
Great video! I plan on getting one this year (which ever has the lower mileage). I plan on getting a muffler delete as soon as I buy it as my first mod. Any advice?
Probably your cheapest and most quality bet, would be to go to an exhaust shop, they'll cut the old resonator out and weld in a new pipe, I believe that's usually around 40-90usd? Personally I'd go resonator delete first, because with an intake, it would be advisable (but not all the nessisary) to get a tune.
God knows if you’ll see this but I’m looking at this speed 3, for 15k aud , 139xxx ks , full service history, is that good? Anything I should be worried about anything with the mileage
Hey. it depends on how much they go for in your country, if the timing chain hasn’t been done then that usually goes between 150-170km turbo failure usually happens in the same mileage as well Good service history is what really matters with these cars, they should be serviced/oil change every 5k kms
Damn, sounds really clean, late model, low as miles, now I don't know the American market, but 20k sounds like a lot, definately sounds like one of the cleanest examples, but no example is 20k imo
that sounds way better than most any i can find in the far north east, best one I’ve seen is a 110,000k mile (probably boutta go in the near future) unmolested but missing stock wheels (on steelies) in red at a dealer going for $10,000 still

Mmm I mean you could recondition the engine, but you might as well wait till the engine blows to do that. Usually it's the piston rings that go, either that or the rods bend due to running too much power
That's great, though I saw the comment before it's edited, 11.5K NZ is way too much for 248k, unless it's got a new engine. If it hasn't, I'd be paying 7k Max, I still wouldn't buy it at that price, as it has a high chance of blowing up soon
Ah right, I mean that's not too high, 200+ is when they typically blow up. But make sure it's had its timing chain replaced, they usually tend to start going bad around 150k
There's currently a mazdaspeed 6 on sale a lil ways out from where I live thats selling for $12,499 Completely stock, body is mint and it only has 39k miles on it. Man if I had the money 😞
so im looking for a 2nd gen speed 3, there's one that has 73k kms, hasnt been winter driven since 2015, no rust and the engine mods he has done are: Aire intake Cobb Accesport v3 After market exhaust no HPFP mentioned, its 2013 and the guy is asking $17k CAD, should i be weary about purchasing this, or just not even consider it?
Noo that sounds like a very good car, low KMs, never winter driven, no rust, now I don't know about how much is a good price in Canada, but 17k sounds a little bit steep, though maybe that's what they cost In Canada for a good one
@@LifeOfTuners 17k is pretty high, seen a bunch come and go for a lot cheaper with around the same kms, but yeah, thanks for your opinion, will keep this car as an option only if the guy can come way down in price
It's excellent in the snow. I daily drove one during a really bad winter back in 2010 (Ireland) didn't fit winter tyres, but nothing stopped it. They seem very balanced and agile too, compared to an Audi with quattro with similar weight.
Speeds are slowly creeping from 12k under 100k miles, to around 15k under 100k miles. I gotta hurry up! I literally have wanted one since I was 12, screw any other car!
I got a 2009 Mazdaspeed3 with 145k miles on it, came with a cold air intake, now it’s at 147k and I haven’t been babying it but not beating on it either but I am kinda scared now 😅... noticed white smoke comes out when you heavily accelerate, do I need to get a new turbo or sum??? Help me out pls
Nah bro, that should be fine, the turbos smoking is most noticable at idle. And even when it does start to smoke, if you don't mind the embarrament (and oil consumption) theirs nothing wrong with just leaving it
So my 2010 ms3 is going through a lot of oil, a couple quarts every couple of weeks but I check for leaks in all places where leaks should be checked, there’s little to no smoke at all in idle or during revs(that I can notice) I change the oil every 3k miles any ideas on what it can be? Do you think it’s the k04?
Honestly, 12,000kms is too long for these, it's well known in the community, espically amoungst those that have had many of these cars, that you should be doing it every 5k-8k kms (3-5k miles) They're temprimental engines that are very fussy, but treat them right and they'll treat you right
@@LifeOfTuners unless you buy one new, you will never find one with 8k km services from new. New cars need to follow brand service intervals to maintain warranty. And I doubt that the 1st owner would bring the car for expensive dealer service before time😂
I mean if it's been done correctly for the majority of its life it should be alright I guess, the most important years, being the latest years before you've bought it. And remeber in 2013 when the last one was made, the mazdaspeed engine had been out for 8 ish years, some select people knew about maintaining them, though only the real fans would've known
Yes I know that, but trust the people who have spent their money on it and have spent years on years around them. If you go by that logic, you'd probaly assume that since it runs a timing chain (not belt) that they don't need to be replaced (since chains aren't meant to stretch) but they do and you do need to replace them
Oh yeah, the trolls must suck :( seems like a fair price, considering over there blown up MazdaSpeeds sell for more, but running ones are cheaper then here in New Zealand.

Telling you that because I'm looking to buy one and the service manual always shows 10/12k km service intervals from new on Mazda dealers🤷🏼♂️
Yes I know that, but trust the people who have spent their money on it and have spent years on years around them.
If you go by that logic, you'd probaly assume that since it runs a timing chain (not belt) that they don't need to be replaced (since chains aren't meant to stretch) but they do and you do need to replace them

Ayyy helping with the algorithm I see! I'm also from NZ 🇳🇿
Ima try to sell my blown speed 6 for 3k see all the messages of people trolling me lol
Oh yeah, the trolls must suck :( seems like a fair price, considering over there blown up MazdaSpeeds sell for more, but running ones are cheaper then here in New Zealand.
@@LifeOfTuners I’m sure everyone will say the car isn’t worth more then 1-2k blown
Oh right really, I don't really know prices over there, but yeah after seeing Stevens videos on it, that was my understanding of prices over there
@@LifeOfTuners atleast in texas I’m sure I could sell it for 3k in another state
