hello guys...can sum1 tell me what I can do to start tuning my stock 2.3 L mazda3 engine by staying in a low budget?? what i want to sya is that I dont wanna spend a thousand bucks into a turbo and things like that!
@BigHeroes666 get thicker ground wires through out the car starting the the battery bigger wire equals more spark that makes it to the plugs and like the other kid wrote the intake when you have maxed out the power of the engine turn to making the car light weight things like rims that weigh less then the stock and some times even the spare tire in the back can make a big difference
@430nate personally, I think the sport-tuned exhaust it comes with, (assuming it did,) sounds awesome, now if you're looking for something louder, I'd run hks. But if i were you, I'd keep the stock exhaust and invest in something else for the car.
hey, I just installed the HKS BOV on my car.. and tho the car seems to be driving fine, it doesn't seem like the BOV is operating. I'm running it recirc, but from the videos I've seen, i should still somewhat hear and be able to see the BOV operate, correct?
Wow. dude, that looks good man, i just installed my Hks SSQV BOV as well. and man it sounds a little dry with out a intake. Does your Check Engine Light comes on after you installed the bov and the Cobb?
Yes, You have to have either a turbo or a centrifugal supercharger to have a BOV, a BOV relieves the engine of boost pressure when it's not needed, so in order to have one you need boost.
i can see your new to this whole car thing. yeah you need a bov with a turbo to release the pressure.....but odly enough I see some cars with out turbos having these sounds just so they look kool. and trust me its not when as most they got 150hp
Chances are, those cars that you think don't have turbos are the true sleepers. There is a greater chance those cars are turbo than the owners putting on the turbo whistle. No one did that when turbo whistles were around, now they are well and truly gone. In Australia at least.
thats what i plan on doing, stock look, maybe some wheels, maybe lowered an inch or 2 but after that, you wont tell the difference until you pop the hood.
it seems as though if you recirc, it eliminates the whistle sound that the HKS is famous for. So with the triple fin makes the famous whistle that everyone is nuts about.. and recirc just sounds like a regular "whoosh" like most stock bovs because the triple fin is taken out?
the only problem i find with the hks bov is that its a universal build with a mounting kit, whereas the turbosmart or forge are made specifically for the disi23t
That wouldn't do anything on your car. A Blow off valve is specifically made to relieve pressure when you let off the gas in a turbocharged car. That's what that funny noise is. So unless you have some sort of an amazing custom turbo kit on you Sonata and for some reason don't have a BOV, it will just sit in you engine and look pretty.
please know your cars before u comment. those muffler turbo whistle are for cars that don't have turbo and want to mimic the sound of a blow off. The mazdaspeed 3 are turbo cars.
it holds boost longer than a stock bov....all stock ms6 lose boost and power around 5 to 5.5k rpms...having a after market bov with a cai makes the car hold boost longer......however if you dont look into buying a bov and buy one that runs rich between gear changing ur gonna mess up ur car....
so how is the full recirculation treating you, it doesn't hurt the turbo does it? and why would people want to vent to atmosphere more if it doesn't damage the turbo?
Yeah the car has a stock bypass valve (recirc). Also just FYI dont pull into the dealer with a BOV. Takes like 2 seconds to remove so just avoid any risk.
if you recirculate the air its easier for the car to deliver the correct fuel load. if you vent to atmosphere then youll run rich when you change gear (or whenever it blows off) depending on how hard you tuned your engine this can cause problems...
You can't put a MAF after a BOV, because then it'd be after the turbo. A MAF measures air flow, not air pressure. If you have one, and vent to atmosphere, the car will run transitionally rich in throttle-off conditions.
If you have a MAP sensor instead of a MAF, it becomes irrelevant, because the ECU is fueling from air pressure reaching the manifold, so it never sees the vented air.
@fat10head fail to the both of you.... heres some education for u. the speed 3 is meant to be ran BPV NOT VTA. u will pull CEL all day with VTA and run rich as hell for the computer trying to compensate for the recirc its not getting. (these cars allrdy run hella rich). and for u to sell for for a wrx u didnt deserve her anyway. she will rape the wrx all day.BOV result in backfire = ricer cool but bad for engine.
@treyclash you would need modifications just to beat a 2010 wrx with a speed 3 let alone rape it. In recent comparisons by several independent auto review magazines measured the acceleration of both cars, and the wrx is faster in every acceleration test stock vs stock. Looks like you need some education too.
I know this is old, but I'll reply anyway. The comp is looking for that extra air. So the MAF says hey we are getting this much air, and expect the waste so add that up and heres your fuel. When you take that out the comp doesn't understand and you run rich between shift and any lift point. Just a was of fuel. Venting to the air has ZERO, nadda, not one single positive too it, unless you need rice in your life and want to hear it. So yes Recirc for a hundred good reasons.
@06sterling You are 100% correct. I drive a DSM and that is a big topic among new owners. You can still hear it well recirculated anyway. Unless you have it tuned to not compensate for the air loss the MAF usually senses, you do harm, make your shifting rough, and at least in DSM's bogg down and die at idle. Also the recirculated air in a DSM is routed almost directly into the turbo inlet via the shirt intake, keeping turbo lag down in between shifts.
I dont know what crack ya are smokein but .. you dont need to tune a BOV and an aftermarket isnt needed unless you are turning up the boost and even then sometimes its not needed untill a turbo up grade .. Depends on the stock BOV i guess
looks like the engine is reving after it dumps the air.
i think the air that is recirculated goes back into the throtle and revs it again. idk take off the recirculation fitting and see if it does the same thing, then u can tell if its doing wat i said
yes the stock BOV leaks at higher boost, which is one main reason for a new BOV, another is sound... and yes you do need to tune your BOV if you are going to Run VTA... otherwise you will run rich after you shift.
wow and its still that loud? holy shit... i was gonna get the turbosmart so i could have it vta and recirculateing at the sam time but now ill just get the HKS and have it recirculate
there is a bit of cutting needed to make it recirr. on the stock tubing to make it perfect. when you are setting it up make sure that you remove the airbox and everything and put the bov on first then add the sri
