Not sure if you guys heard of HPFPupgrade

http://hpfpupgrade.com/Products/Show/Mazda/2.3+DISI/Mazda+DISI+Complete+High+Pressure+Fuel+Pump

Read a few negative comments about some guy John who once was in one of the Mazda forums. But after some research it seemed the performance gains were worth it. Hopefully it works out for me and if none of you tested their pump I may be the first.

interesting.......you might be the first for this pump....

[Fack_Dude]

loki I will book off the day bitch.

[mickey_g]

did you get the stg1 or stg2? you must be brave trying something like a hpfp completely untested

[Snotrocket]

bah hahaha.. reflecting on how horrible my last year has been but I must say, this was a fun night...

[mazda3t]

Well every pump has a % of improved flow, some more then others. I did not say WHP gains I said performance because some may perform better then others. Ok


performance gains from a hpfp?

ok

[tanspeed3]

mazda3t. I'm assuming you are already running a stage 2 ots Map right now as you said you are waiting on a pro tune. Why you have no pump internals bro? And it prob isn't the bpv leaking. The ots maps have a mean reverse boost taper. Hitting peak around 4-5k then tapering back down by redline. If memory serves I think an ots "stage 2" map targets 19psi then tapers to 16 by redline or something gay like that.

[tanspeed3]

I would've also strayed away from an unknown pump company... Autotech is the number one and I wouldn't suggest any other. I've installed many internals in the last few years. All but one set were autotechs. The other was kmd. You get what you pay for, simple as that. When it comes down to a car running for a long time without issue, to a set of internals that "could" fail and make the engine run lean and zzb.... I wouldn't take the chance. It's 400 bucks of insurance. I'll put them in for free FFS.

[loki]

I guess someone has to try something different. This is also an entirely new fuel pump vs. Just replacing the internals. Similar to cp-e

[mazda3t]

No I'm currently running ots stage 1 93 map. I know not to run stage 2 until I get internals but with this company I'm going with, its a whole new pump. Internals are what 3-500$ shipped. Hpfp upgrade sell a whole unit for 549$ and a core charge of 350$. Cant go wrong there, unless of course the pump doesn't hold up but I have good feeling this pump will be great. Besides I haven't heard of anyone local trying it out so I might be the first.

Fair enough. Nothing wrong with trying something new I suppose. Just keep an eye on your fuel pressure for a while lol. Just be careful. A stage 1 map will still pull more fuel than the stock pump can handle. Just because Cobb says it will be ok, doesn't mean it will. I watched a healthy, unmolested Pu dip into the 1600's right as soon as the map was flashed and ran. That was with only an intake and tip. That test pipe will also yield quicker spool, resulting in more fuel needed at low rpm.

[Snotrocket]

I put a full exhaust on my pu when I got it. Fuel pump couldn't keep up.

[Snotrocket]

That's what I'm sayin! Even if Phil puts down higher numbers, I'll still roll him. He gets Dan in the car with him this time. Only fair. ;)

[mazda3t]

I have a gen1, so from what Ive read i'm less likely to run into the problems the gen2 would with stock pump. Its a 2009..


What year is yours mazda3t

[Snotrocket]

You're correct.

[mazda3t]

Even still after reading about stronger fuel pumps in the gen1 I always monitor the pump psi. When im driving the accessport is on, and i'll be on it like a hawk when this pump arrives and is installed.

The pump isn't stronger.. its just a different fuelling logic in the Gen 2's.

[mazda3t]

Did anyone have any significant wearing in their cam followers? I heard with increased fuel demands its likely cam followers wear faster..

[pwdunmore]

I think he is reading too much on HPFPupgrade.com
mazda3t stop reading the BS on internet that people use to market their own products. MSF has been testing the crap out of autotechs and CS internals (not as much testing but still goo results) with a very small percentage of failures.
IMHO, just get some autotechs and have someone who has installed them before do it for you.

[mazda3t]

Some people had this issue but im guessing no one in the mazda forums did which is good. I already bought the pump so its too late now, but ill make sure to keep my stock pump in case of anything. Just have to find a core no one needs to send back.

[MajesticBlueNTO]

The cam follower issue on hpfpupgrade.com is in regards to the VW/Audi FSI engines that needed the upgraded hpfp to run 'stage 2'. Their cam followers were essentially a maintenance/wear item. This does not apply to the Mazda DISI motor.


FWIW, the hpfp that John (hpfpupgrade, PTP, etc) sells was in the "first 700 whp Mazdaspeed3"....he's had a bad history on MSF (early pumps seizing, PTP business going bankrupt to avoid paying out warranty on seized pumps, his mother taking over the assets to keep the business within the family, opening up a new business under HPFPUpgrade.com, etc), which is why he's no longer a vendor on there and, subsequently, why the masses have not purchased nor talked about his products on MSF.

[Snotrocket]

Eek.

[tanspeed3]

And that is why I go with the "known" and proven parts. Not about to be a guinea pig with my motor lol. Can't win races when it's blown up.

[mazda3t]

Yes ofcourse that will be the reason he's frowned upon but we all know with these things take time. Their will be trial and error, and consequences that come along with that. Just like some of these guys that blown there motors. Its going to be a long road to victory but if you have the ambition and passion to achieve it then it will all be worth it in the end. His mistakes was long ago and it took all of this you speak of to get to where they all are now. I appreciate you guys looking out but I made this choice and I'll be the one to say I took the chance. The pump has arrived this morning, ill be installing it this weekend.

This dope here on TM3 commits to buy the tires I am selling... Has me going all weekend that we are good to meet up. The plan was for me to drive down to Ajax to where he lives to deliver him the tires. My car broke down last night so I confirmed with him that we were still good and he confirmed yes. I get the tires out of storage, load them into a borrowed car last night and take them to work with me today so I can drive down a deliver them. Dingus tells me just now that he found other tires and bails on me lol. If whoever is selling maxewell12 these tires reads this PM me, I'll pay you $50 more then he is offering.

I have the premium one....

I was cleaning my air filter over the weekend and decided to waterproof my sender. That's prob what messed it up. However... it's fine now. I jiggled the wire a bit and it's working fine. PROSPORT FTW!!!! Thanks for your generous offer -cj-.

I know it's a long shot but you never know... I found a block to tear down, bore out/hone and rebuild :) I am thinking I will gather parts over the summer/winter (I will purchase most of the rebuild parts on black friday @ edgeautosports) of this year to have it ready for next summer.

While the bracket is bolted down, or do I have to loosen it?

[SomeGuy]

While the bracket is bolted down, or do I have to loosen it?

Leave everything bolted up...just give it a good wiggle around (I mean like really heave on it, just be careful obviously if the car is up on jack stands). Also visually inspect it and throw a wrench on each bolt (brackets and endlinks top/bottom) to see that everything is snug. Every time I've fixed someone's RSB noise it's been very obvious where it was coming from once I got under there.

[SomeGuy]

Oh and if you're under there and have greasable fittings, throw a few pumps in while you're at it. Never hurts :)

Also check your struts while you're at it, make sure they're tight (when suspension is unloaded, wiggle side to side) and no fluid is leaking.

Hngghh!

Makes me wonder how much further you can push the sky active. Seems like a lot of research and development already went to supposedly getting the turbo on it.

[SilentJay]

Damnit... Anyone know where I can find one of those plastic push-clips for the oem sideskirt? Dealer is usually closed by the time I'm out of the office :/

[Mr Wilson]

Dealer closed or parts shop closed?

I've asked the part shop to leave parts with the receptionist in the sales section when I can't make it before 5.

All the development Mazda did on the engine...translating into the Ecoboost. Focus RS...ST...Mazda dropping the drivetrain [for now]...and now we have likely the most "focused" application of the drivetrain...

Then of course...this...

Preach!!!

[DLYDRVN]

I think my k04 is on it's way out. Been tracking some oil residue/weeping that's been located near the turbo housing where the oil return line bolts up. Tightened the bolts which didn't resolve the issue, took it to Mazda a few weeks later and they thought misaligned gasket from the re&re in the fall. Still did not resolve.


Losing about 1/2qu every 2000kms or so. It would seem that there my be a leak from the housing.

UOIs are good except for excessively high copper (on both the new and the old engine), engine holds boost, logs look good and no unusual sounds are present, but this oil has to be coming from somewhere.

I'm looking at BNR s3 and CPE as replacement options... What I'm wondering is if it's a fairly sure thing that if all the lines are tight and I've got a leak that it's a sign of a cracked housing and I should be replacing this preemptively to avoid replacing another engine... Or if there's some other probable cause?

[MajesticBlueNTO]

some might have seen this pic in Kiyomi's ride thread... heat from CP-e exhaust manifold melted another coupler causing another boost leak:

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-WQqjMka9ZTM/U50MVUS8kQI/AAAAAAAAFaw/j0AeZF-J9uc/s800/IMAG0274.jpg

mazda extended the warranty for the K04 to 7 years or 140,000kms

just go to the dealer and get a new one

Yea, i've just been told this. I doubt i'll get warranty with all my mods, but its definitely worth an ask.

Otherwise maybe gtx2867... I just don't want to have to replace entire intake path, and ecu relocate and battery box...

[Fobio]

So i will assume that was the ^ that showed up when i was there. what was the deal did he have low across all 4 or just a couple. was it a stocker or has he done mods. and did he even get a base pull?

I'll start it off here.

I typically do not tune cars that have low compression. For many and various reason, top of which is liability for guys with higher mileage cars. The last thing I need is some dude with a shitty engine and coming for a MSpeed tune, only to turn around and blame us for his shot engine. Our name, "MSpeed Tuning & Diagnostics" really means that...we provide calibrations and diagnostics services, and this was planned in light of the fact that these cars require "informed ownership" but may pass from 1st to 2nd to 3rd owners and beyond. Conversely, this diagnostic service is also provided to mindful owners who just want to make sure their ride is in good shape.

The MS6 has been contacting me for well over a yr. Firstly for minor things like a MAF calibration and then for load caps and boost cuts....then he got a new engine...supposedly a new long block from a dealer replacement engine. As of last night, the new engine supposedly only had 25K on it...this is a 2006 MS6. When it came in yesterday, the engine looked like a well used engine with 100K of dirt and oxidation around it...surely didn't look like a new long block, etc.

Going thru the tests, this also gave him an opportunity to opt out of tuning since his engine has low comp...weirdly enough tho...160-120-170-160...yes, cyl-2 failure. He also came in on a Stg 0 map. If you wanna have a chuckle, keep an eye out on the baseline and dyno plots I'll post later. After discussing the test results, the owner asked me to proceed.

The value that I delivered to him was that his car can't cope with a OTS map for his mods with its rather aggressive targets. So he'd buck, cut and cap... By recalibrating his MAF/AFR, timing and boost, we were about to get it back to appropriate, albeit lowered than full compression, power levels.

At the end, I'm not very happy I pushed a car with low compression. But given the situation, the MS6 now drives regularly and the owner wouldn't really have known any difference if he we didn't do the test, but now we know what's up and what to look out for for his car. This was the only reason why I helped the guy out. We continue to recommend compression test and boost leak test for each and every car we tune.

I'll have more to share when I post it up.

Thanks Steve, for the kind words. I am but one part...the most vocal part of a larger machine. =)

MajesticBlueNTO has been and continues to be my peer review. A mechanical engineer by training, most of our technical findings are reviewed and vetted by him. In fact, we're deep in discussion over yesterday and we may have more to share in the very near future.

-cj- has been playing with cars just as long if not longer than I have. His insight into matters of the MS3 and beyond is invaluable. Right now, eventho he's playing with N54's, he always shares his experience with the MSpeed crew so we're not just tunnel-visioned with the MS3.

BlueStreak has a wealth of hand-on technical knowledge about the drivetrain, built my engine and even has a sense of humour about it afterwards. Dave is also "Gearhead" status on MSF and have pioneered hardware solutions for our platform.

CelestSpeed3 has injected a sense of get 'er done into our team. He's built my racecar when it was a racecar and with his diverse...yet particular skill set, he's provided insight and solutions to challenges we have all experienced with this platform.

Without these guys, MSpeed would just be a dude with a laptop...and a lot of shit to say, and not much to back it up...well, with over 700 logs pulled, I kinda learned a few things. =)

Or MT90. Either or is good.

Mt-90 for regular 3's...ford unicorn jizz for speed 3's.

[tanspeed3]

MT90 will work just fine. Unless you are making mad power, clutch kicking the shit out of your car on a track, Or dumping the clutch with slicks on a drag strip, you aren't going to hurt the tranny or syncros with MT90 lol.

The Ford stuff smooths up the shifts and gear engagement at the expense of a bit of diff noise, regardless of mileage it's worthy.

I'm at 40000 already. I do about 75000 a year and have had it running some form of tune since day 1 85 km. but if you think I'm good then I'm cool with that.

[SomeGuy]

I had it in my car with under 30,000km on it...it's just like synthetic oil, it's never too early to swap.

[tanspeed3]

I'm not sure of the "recommended" service interval. Sometimes I hear 100k. Sometimes I hear 60k.

I found the shifts a bit smoother/easier...but it wasn't a huge huge difference. How long have you had it in? It got better over the first couple weeks.

Edit: ive PMed him, will update with a response

I can answer right here. The distributor for the chemicals we use, which is a version of what some dealers of higher pedigree cars use, is not available to the public. We had to go thru a trial process where we as MSpeed demonstrated to the distributor that we can replicate their prescribed procedures in a shop environment or at Paul's garage so that they would actually sell the chemicals to us. It's not rocket science, but the vetting process is beyond what a DIY'er would've been able to do to convince the distributor to sell you the chemicals directly.

Like most things we do, we make it simple for our clients because we have already done the leg work to make it simple.

with all 3 mounts, your car will vibrate like no tomorrow. shifts become solid as the engine never moves but, if you drive with the windows up, get ready for the inside cabin to be a reverberating box.

Will post a video of the drive to the cottage we are staying at...

Small windy road with 100kph speed limit posted. Canada is so soft when it comes to our set speed limits

I was hauling ass as best I could considering I had a 16 month old in a car seat..I think I was at about 90 to 100kph for alot of it and had cars on my ass the whole time

You guys would love it
