Mazdaspeed 3 Modification Guide (Getting Started)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 янв 2016
- Hello again everyone! I created this video as a guide for anyone looking to do basic bolt-on modifications to their Gen 1 or Gen 2 Mazdaspeed 3. If I could do it all over again, this is definitely the path that I would take, and I HIGHLY recommend it for anyone else!
Just like I mention in the video: reliability first, then power and appearance!
I'm always up for suggestions so if I missed something please feel free to leave it in the comments below!
(I also apologize about the poor audio...a microphone is definitely coming in the very near future!)
Thanks again!

In case you were wondering, people still watch these lol. Super informative man thank you
dude big shout out, this video is awesome!!! the info is great, I was looking for a video like this for a while.
Great video love how you break that down so its easy to take in going start modding my 3 in the new year.
I just bought a stock 2012 ms3 and have been wanting to make sure I know how to properly mod it before I start. This video was so helpful man, thank you so much!!! Appreciate you 👊🏻
Wow this has been a lifesaver, I've compiled a list of what i'll be saving for. Thank you.
I have a 1st Gen, working on suspension this month. Thanks for the heads up the on cambers.
Video was very helpful, exactly what i was looking for. Thank you so much.
Insanely helpful. Best video by far on the speed 3. I have a gen 1 so it seems more difficult to find good videos on it. Great video!
Gen 1 and Gen 2 are fundamentally the same car! 😁 Glad that you found this helpful!
Thanks for a great informative video. Came here from your Big Turbo video which was full of good information. In the process of modding my MPS 6, so far have rear motor mount, rear diff mounts, rear axles, cobb accessport, intake, upgraded top mount and HPFP internals done. Next job is the downpipe, which I'll save for a long weekend... After watching your videos it confirms that I might regret going upgraded TMIC rather than front mount but can always swap it out. Looking forward to getting a bigger turbo in there, but still enjoying good power and good boost :P
Recently bought a MS3, learned some good shit, subscribed.
I like that you not only provide good information on good steps to take when "Getting Started" with modifications and explaining what the mods do but also recommend good brands. Great video, keep it up.
YourGirlsSenpai Thanks! I appreciate it!
Great guide and really well explained. Learned a lot!!
The MazdaSpeed3 has quickly become my favorite car, as I own a 13' Mazda3, I've been planning on getting one this summer and I can't wait.
There aren't many speed3 videos on RUclips and I was excited when I found your channel, this video was super informative and I can't wait for all the great videos that are to come ! I live in Orlando, maybe once I get my speed3 I'll find you in a meet or something 😁
Im in the orlando area you still own it?
this is a good video. saving to watch again
This needs way more views!
Damond Motorsports sells all 3 mounts in street and racing applications in different color combinations for 600 bucks. Solid units.
This video was very helpful
Great video. I would say getting an Access Port before you do the hpfp internals though, it is just going to ease your mind to know what your fuel pressure is before and after. Also will get you in a position to start getting used to the counters you need to monitor early on.
Very informative bro...Great break down provided.
+Robert Smith Thanks!
On my speed 6 I'm running
jbr 3" intake, cpe top mount intercooler, corksport catted downpipe, cpe 3" exhaust, autotech hpfp internals. Tune by stratified. Probably going to to a front mount intercooler next.
my favorite part about this video is the pics of the parts that he is talking about iv seen them on line and it basically puts a face to the name
Jonah Bellis : I'm glad it was helpful!
Awesome! I've owned a 2010 mazdaspeed3 for a little over a year now and haven't done a single thing to it as I'm not sure if I will keep it or trade it in later.. leaning more towards keeping it though
this guy just totally showed us how to turn a MZ3 into a MS3 conversion. :)
I think I'm going rear mount, AP, SRI, thanks for the wisdom
Great video. I own a 2010 MS3 and this simplified things a whole lot. Thanks.
Really hoping to be able to buy my cousin's Speed3 from him (would've rather have just bought a 2013 instead of my 2014 Mazda 3, but I didn't think about it at the time), and will definitely have to come back to this video if that happens.
Haha i am so involved in the video, then i suddenly think: "dude i dont even have a MS3"
But if i ever have one ill know what to deal with, thanks my man!
Very informative video! Thanks eh
Great video 🤟🏼
Great vid thanks
i like this a lot though feel like you could teach me a lot i just picked up my second speed6.. keep the videos going sub and like
My ms3 only has 251 hp and 296 torque. it's plenty for me.
resonator delete
test pipe
ap v2
tmic
bypass valve
short ram intake
great video! the wife likes the whole idea of modified cars but the funnny thing is she doesn't know how to drive standard and she doeant want to learn ( busy with the baby) so I bought an auto mazda 3 07 grand touring. is it worth boosting and modify it or just a standard modify?
First and foremost, make sure your engine and transmission, brakes, are in great working condition. He's right about the engine mounts. If you plan on running a big turbo at some point in the future,WAIT to buy the exhaust, intake, tip, fuel internals and accessport. So you don't buy things twice. I would buy wheels, coilovers or springs, rear sway bar and front strut tower brace and fmic, rear camber arms. Happy Driving!!! BTW- you most certainly need a tune with exhaust. Catback no, but turboback yes then an accessport is required.
does anyone ever get like a click noise from their ms3 upon take off or shifting gears almost immediately after selecting certain gears (2nd and 3rd usually)? i had a motor mount replaced upon purchasing the car so i dont think it could be this. the noise can be heard clearer on the left hand side of the car (right hand drive). i'm going to eventually book it in for an inspection i was just wondering if its a known noise anyone else may have had or does this sound like a master slave cylinder / clutch plate which im dreading. also thanks for informing me of the intake if larger than 2.5 or so is needing a tune to deal with the air. i did think my car was a little bit lacking in power maybe i'll have to get it tuned. i do plan on investing in power later down the track it would be good to do it gradually like you said.
Hi mate, i was wondering what are your front camber setting is, aswell as the rear camber settings?
Can I get a stage 2 power series short ram intake after everything you stated to get before the intake part of this video?. Cheers
just saw this video, for a BoV will you need a tune?
What if I'm already more than satisfied with stock performance and just want a little noise like a mere intake,axle back exhaust or just some muffler and atmospheric BOV? Even if I'm not really interested in racing or anything like that,would these three basic parts alone require a tune or those upgraded fuel pump internals or would the car be safe enough without them just for those three parts alone?
recommendations for suspension brands??
I'm enjoying your channel! Now I'm a noob at all this, I've only have had my Speed3 for two weeks, it's a 2012. I have the all the mounts installed and I absolutely love the NVH! It feels racy... My fuel pump interals are on order, but my GFB BOV came in early, can I install the bov before the fuel pump interals. Does the upgraded fuel pump have any affect on the performance of the bov, and is there a required tune after the bov is installed? I'm like you, I like to hear the swoosh sound! Thank you again for your help Dexter! Travis (DFW, Texas)
I think the bov has not effect by hpfp
+energi2x You should be just fine to install the BOV before the internals! I appreciate the support! Good luck with your ride!
+WhatsN3xt, Thank you Brother! That GFB is crazy good, loving it! I'm a little nervous about doing the fuel internals myself, fuel,fire,yeah... Thank you for the reply.
I have a 08 mazdaspeed 3 i have a injen cold air intake and a hks BPV, Do you recommend a cobb tuner? And which one need help with that been asking around
Should put the list in description
I know I'm a little late. But do fuel pump internals require a tune? I'm stock right now with res delete
Hi, i have searching everywhere and im totally stuck regarding the stock alignment for a 2013 mazda 3 mps? What is the front & rear camber settings ment to be? Please help me.
Great info. Is there some where on the net with a list of all the mods done on you car? Trying to skip the trail and error and go with something proven. Also what are some good forums for info on stock/modded Speed 3?
Check out the description on the Premier video on the channel. Should be titled, "welcome to WhatsN3xt"
Found it. Thank you.
Can u put out a list?
Would I just need a fuel pump to run e85
No exhaust manifold?
You should make a vid on where to start when you wanna go big turbo
+BDthizzin Good idea...!
+WhatsN3xt Hey there! I just made a video about going Big Turbo! Check it out if you haven't already!
So what’s the strain on the engine when doing all these mods is it better worse also mpg I’m guessing gets worse 🤓
Hey I noticed you said Tampa I live in Florida too I've had my speed for a year now . I would love to maybe meet up and talk about our cars I have lots of questions .
Sure! Follow my FB page for updates on events!
is hks ssqv 4 good?
Great info. I just picked up a genjuan last month. Any thoughts on what to do about carbon build up? I noticed a lot in my muffler, and I'm wondering if there's any sort of power loss happening during combustion. it has 100k miles on it, and I thought the previous owner knew to do anything about it.
How much would all of this cost?
do u have more info about suspension getting started???
Lexie Cruz Honestly that's not my strong point...check out "Everything DIY". She drives a Speed 3 and has videos on Suspension.
Where the videos just got a MS3 u still around ??
My dad has owned a gen 1 speed 3 since it was new in 08. It has been left completely stock and the turbo is starting to burn out. I'm thinking about buying the car and starting to modify it but I'm not sure what to do about the burnt turbo. Should I just replace it with another stock speed 3 turbo until I can afford the other parts on your list? Or buy a better aftermarket one. Also what turbos do you recommend for the speed 3?
The MS3 platform has a few options in regards to turbos. I believe that one isn't really "better" than the other, so it's important to have a direction for your setup. I recommend that if you're just looking to be "faster than stock", go with the Corksport Turbo or the BNR S3. Both of these options are direct bolt-ons and with the right tuning, will get you at LEAST 350 whp on 93 octane.
The K04 (stock turbo) is not a bad little unit though...spools quick but also looses gas quick. Plenty of people (including myself) upgrade the turbo much later in the setup. Before you decide to upgrade, you at LEAST need the things on this list PLUS the parts that I discuss in my "Big Turbo" video.
I hope this helps!
That advice is solid. Of course you'll need a tune. I'm running a Cork and it's OK.
@@jamesherrington5606 if for example I go with a bolt on corksport or cobb turbo is it compatible with a v3 access port in terms of a safe tune? im looking for something thats gonna hold up better than stock, proper turbine sizing and a billit turbine wheel etc... not necessarily big turbo
hi Mate, i was just wondering why some people jump to the downpipe and fuel pump upgrade and a tune instead of an intake and a turbo inlet pipe and a tune?
Aki Padre these cars throw rods. Hpfp will guarantee you car won’t have a lot of stress or load on your engine when you modify.
So I’m going to be buying a full straight pipe turbo back exhaust, is it recommended that I get a tune done or should I be fine without it. Car is basically stock other than a bov
Mike need HPFP internal upgrade if you will upgrade the downpipe. Ideally you should have an Accessport as well.
please make more videos
+William Corall Thanks! I hope that you've been enjoying the new content!
when u upgrade to the cobb down pipe and erase the second cat, will that make the check engine light to come on? In my state as long as there are no codes present it will pass inspection.
To answer your question directly: YES. Deleting Cat Converters will trigger a CEL code.
However: if you get an Accessport and a custom tune, your tuner will normally block the code.
Hope that helps!
WhatsN3xt one more question thank you for getting back to me so quickly. are you able to disconnect the accessport from the OBD and still block the code? sorry for the dumb question I am still new to Mazdaspeed3 I have watched most of your videos they're great.
Hahaha! Thanks for following the channel!
And Yes, once you load the tune, it'll have the code blocked as a part of the map so you do not have to leave the Accessport plugged up.

WhatsN3xt omg! tysm u dont even know what this means I want to soak every penny into my car right now thank you so much again. please keep posting videos on how to's, and suggestions!
Is there a way to know if my speed3 already has the fuel pump internals? I bought it from Copart and it has a cold air intake, blow off valve and an exhaust but there’s no way to contact the previous owner to know exactly what was done with the car
The only way of finding out is by taking it out.
How much wheel horsepower are you putting out on the ms3?
HYPHY DIGITAL I'm currently on the stock turbo (K04) so I'm around 325 on 93 octane and about 340 on E85 mix
wtf.. o did everything backwards.. my last upgrade was the rear motor mount..anyway thanks for the info bro.
+Samuel Santana It happens to the best of us! Don't sweat it!
I would want to boost my mpg
My 2007 Mazdaspeed3 starts knocking at about 5k RPM won't go past it...why? lol I suck at cars.
How to care for the car ?
+david ruperto It really all depends, my friend! I most sick to the factory maintenance schedule along with some things that are specific to my setup! Let me know if you have any questions and I can do my best to help!
+WhatsN3xt maybe a detailed video when you have time on what you do and what not to do to keep it in great condition, I have a stock 2012 ms3 and I'd just like to get an idea other than the obvious way to care for it. Maybe tips
Sure! If you follow the factory maintenance schedule, you shouldn't have any issues! Once you start modifying the car, then things change a little! But I can look at putting something together for you!
