I've been looking into ways to mod/improve performance for my 2010 mazda 3 gx sedan. On ebay is found some performance chips that say they dont void factory warranty and are plug n play.

Here is the advertisement.


NEW IN 2009

We are proud to introduce a new 2 in 1 fuel saving performance module to the marketplace. You no longer need to choose between performance or fuel economy when selecting a module for your vehicle. Ask any other dealer and they will tell you that installing both a performance chip and a fuel saving chip on the same vehicle simultaneously is impossible. But with our brand new 2 in 1 module you no longer need to make a compromise!

Get maximum performance and fuel saving in ONE easy to install module. After extended research and development we have developed a new updated module that will improve performance and fuel economy simultaneously at a rate that cannot be matched by our competitors. With our new and updated 2009 module we have achieved a new level of programmable technology that cannot be matched by our competitors.

**Do not be fooled by competitors claiming 60, 100, or even 300 HP. These numbers are complete fabrications! It is physically impossible to attain such extensive horsepower or fuel saving gains using this same technology. When you purchase from us you get the same performance AND fuel savings with legitimate gains for a much lower price!

Each module is developed and tested for compatibility with all available engines available for the vehicle specified.

Included in our Fuel Saving Performance Kit

1 Circuit Protected RTM 2 in 1 Performance Module

1 Complete Installation Manual - step by step, detailed instructions with diagrams

24/7 technical support -

RTMmotorsports@gmail.com

100% money back guarantee - if you are not completely satisfied with your purchase we will refund you the full cost of the item INCLUDING shipping costs.

Extended List of Benefits

Improved Engine Life

Reduces stress on the engine increasing the life of your engine and all related components.

Increases the life of engine oil extending the time between costly oil changes.

Reduces build up on spark plugs and engine heads.

Improved Engine Performance

45+ horsepower at the wheels! Unmatched improved engine performance!

50+ ft/lb of torque. Even more torque is possible when installed on trucks and SUVs!

Improved Engine Fuel Economy

10 to 12 more miles per gallon when driving in stop and go city traffic.

12 to 15 more miles per gallon when driving primarily on highways.

The Science of our Modules

Here is how our modules work. In 1990 the Subaru Justy came off the automobile assembly line as the last carbureted motor vehicle sold in the United States. From this point on, emissions and fuel efficiency laws forced all automobile manufacturers to manufacture and sell only fuel injected vehicles. Thankfully, fuel injection technology is reasonably simplistic and can easily be studied and improved. With performance in mind, our engineers noticed a common problem among all fuel injected vehicles. Many were running an unnecessary rich mixture of fuel and oxygen out of the factory, wasting fuel while making engines sluggish compared to their performance tuned counterparts.

Our performance modules tune your vehicle's engine to run at stoichiometric levels. Stoichiometric or theoretical combustion is the ideal combustion process during which a fuel is burned completely. Fuel is not wasted (rich mixture) and your engine isn’t starving for fuel either (lean mixture). The tuning is done through the vehicle’s on-board computer or ECU. Our module tunes your vehicle’s ECU to allow the engine to run at stoichiometric levels which maximizes performance and improves fuel economy simultaneously.

Installation and Warranty

We wanted to make our modules easy to install, allowing anyone to purchase our modules and install them on their own vehicles, WITHOUT paying a mechanic $100s of dollars for labor. That is why we take care to include detailed step by step installation instructions with each module. If you can plug your TV into a wall outlet you can plug and play our module.

Another priority for us was price point. We wanted to make our performance modules affordable. eBay allows us to sell our modules with no middleman and little overhead costs allowing us to pass the savings on to our customers.

After installing our module we guarantee you'll feel a difference in performance or your money back! Each one of our modules is backed by our UNMATCHED money back guarantee. If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase you may return your module for a full refund including the original cost of the item AND original shipping costs.

You will not find this guarantee anywhere else on eBay. We stand behind our product and we are confident that you will be completely satisfied with your purchase. Do not be fooled by competitors who emulate our auction page and try to sell you a substandard knock-off of our product.



About Us

Our company was founded in 2001 when company founder and president, Jeff Silverman, was looking for a performance chip for his 1998 Ford Mustang GT. After carefully looking through the performance chip marketplace he purchased a performance chip for his GT – the cost, well over $200. After installing the chip he noticed the promised gains but just wasn’t satisfied with the price to power ratio. With a background in engineering and as a part owner of a local performance shop, Mr. Graves resolved to form his own separate business to create a performance chip that would give the same type of improved performance as higher priced options at a much more reasonable price. RTM Motorsports was founded two and a half years later. After several years of research and development we finalized creation of our performance modules. We have been selling performance chips locally since 2003 and are now making our products available to the eBay community in 2009. With no middleman and little overhead costs we are able to offer our performance modules to our online customers for rock-bottom factory direct prices.

Troof roof!

Honestly if you want an ECU tune contact PSI tuning and see if Michael can hook you up. I don't know if he's prototyped a 2010 reflash, but he has production flashes for 2004-2009 models.

Damn serious? These chips have no merit at all? anyone try one? I mean even if it works a quarter as good as it says, its worth the price. :bang

At best, all these chips do is alter the values from a sensor that are fed to the engine computer. Which promptly sets about recalibrating itself.

Chips are not worthless in all cases. But I think Mazda3's can't be chipped like some cars. Makes me sad.

agreed only 1 known good chip for the mazda 3 and its like 1000+ and totally not worth it

I'm surprised that there aren't other ECU programs out for the Mazda3's
I mean, based on the popularity alone...especially compared to other "tuner" cars - Mazda3 had a better platform to start tuning.

There are other options, but they aren't widely advertised. For example, on M3F in the Puerto Rico forum Predator is about to release an ECU tune for $250, but is anticipated to only be available in PR.

Some time back I also recall reading about a reflash that was available in the US, but it was like $650 US.

If you have a speed 3, Pisani (sp?) has a reflash.

You will likely be hearing from PSI again.

I agree with you though; products seem be coming to market slowly for our cars. How about some effin cams already?!!

The only chips I know of that work for sure are Dinan chips for BMW and the JET chips, not sure about others on the market

APR, REVO Tuning, Upsolute are all reputable ones. They do alot of R&D and APR even has a racing team in place.

I don't know, I'm skeptical when it comes to increasing power by doing absolutely nothing to the engine physically. I think there's very minor gains to be had here. Maybe 5 or 10hp. Definitely not 50 at the wheels, unless it's a 8 litre V-10.

My last car responded VERY well to a chip. A lot of cars are tune conservative for reliability, mileage and longevity.

Not true, there are tunes out there for v8 trucks and diesel trucks that add an extra 75hp and over 100 ft/lbs of torque and all you do is plus a little computer into the truck.

NICE gains on a stock A4 2.0T
crazy super rediculous on a TDI

While you're at it you might as well get the turbo simulator as well. Nothing says power like the psshhh ound.

Not to be a dink, but you might eat those words! The ECU reflash from PSI for the speed3 is supposedly putting out some impressive power increase.

thoes are all garbage... ( at least for the mazda 3 / mazdaspeed 3 )

some cars are VERY good with a chip in it... some like the mazda 3 are just nonsense

and the tornados been known to make u waste more gas on some cars.... :\

Yes, I agree. I have one on my Duramax that I can adjust on the fly, up to 130hp extra. I'm just reading all these posts to find out what I can do to my wifes 2010 mazda 3 GX.

Thanks for your advice Malcom. With the truck it wasn't a waste at all, but I did have to upgrade other things on the truck so it can handle the extra 100hp. With the diesel, the truck has to be up at operating temp before the benefits from the chip start to work.

I notice the few times I have driven the Mazda 3 GX it seems like it has more punch in the morning when it is cold, and I would like to find a solution to make this happen all the time. Maybe cold air intake? I have to search the web as it seems the 2010 has very minimal options so far.
