what kind of performance mods is there out there for the 2006-up 2.3L?

 

besidces teh obvious K&N, i have no idea haha

 

alot of help you are alan

 

hey, i had a suggestion didnt i?

 

your not gonna find pulleys, so dont even try lol

apprently they dont like us 2.3 guys

 

i guess not, seems like all they have is junk for the 4.0L guys


i have a drop in filter, i was thinking the K&N FIPK, my friend wont go for it with what they charge

 

im getting one soon i hope

 

xcal tuner, 2.5" catback exhaust with a flow thru muffler would probably help most

 

would any of the common mods to the Mazda 3's 2.3 work on it? theres always a turbo

 

besides selling it? not much for you duratech guys. Stick with the 2.5/2.3 found in the 2001.5 and earlier. Then turbo it. about all you can do that is worth doing.

 

actually after driving it for a few days, its pretty damn quick for a 4 banger... i think its that DOHC

 

K&N doesn't make an intake for the '04+ engines.

Most of the mods that work on a Mazda3 and a Focus are FWD platform specific, so no, we just get screwed.

But yeah, a DOHC Duratech stock runs almost as strong as a stock TURBO 2.3 Lima. Heck it'll even beat some 4.0s!

But really, do the airbox mod, drop in filter, cat back 2.5" pipe with high flow mufler, and Xcal3. if you get the Xcal from BamaChips, adjust the global timing +2 degrees, and the rpm adjustable timing +4 0-2000, +4 2000-4000, +2 4000-6000, and the WOT fuel +2%. This will make a huge difference.

 

sounds like after i get my intake and drop done, a tuner is on my list

 

My tips won't work with yours, you have the slow motor.

 

i mean in general i want a tuner. and about the slow motor

 

you think the 2.3 is bad try the 3.0L... they even discontinued our S/C...

 

you has teh Lima... ewwww 98HP...

Robbie has the 23NS

 

yes but teh lima goes zoom zoom with the 225 tires at 3.73 gears haha

just need a turbo for mad hawzzzpowaaaa

 

It goes zoom zoom, but you're still close enough for me to hear it on the side lines. When I hit it, I'm outa earshot before the second zoom.

 

and my 3.0L, well it gets teh job done.

 

yea i cant only get to like 15-20 in first

 

62 in second.........

 

if I get a STi I own both of you :-D

 

i can barely push 55 in third.... but whats your limiter set at, i can hit 108 mofugga

 

No speed limiter.


My speedometer stops at 120 though, so who knows.
