i noticed this is in the mazda3 thread...so does this work on the 6 as well??

 

Don't know, but I don't see why it wouldn't. The activation method may be different though.

 

lol i trust you, im just lookin out for a fellow mazda 3 owner.

 

... And thinking about the trouble 2.0 has gotten himself into already.

But really Mike, I did the Monzsta Advanced Timing mod several years ago now, and haven't had any problems with it. I can still run 87 w/o any problems except very minor and acceptable pinging when REALLY on it hard, like hard acceleration and going up a steep hill @ the same time, though I do often mix in a little 93.
My crank sensor was about half way down, so I'destimate a timing increase of maybe 4-5*, no more.
Heck, I ran my Civic 10-12*BTDC (OE was 0*TDC) and ran higher octane in that for nearly 100k miles!! It still ran great when I sold it.

 

See me coming from modding a wrx a couple years back.
I can't really see spending 500-700 for Exhaust and CAI for a 6-8hp gain.
In the wrx because of the turbo you would get like 15-25.
A little car like the 3 non turbo there isn't a whole lot you can do for really HP gains.

But I will admit the exhaust would make it sound pretty cool.....

 

I keep looking at the one on Ebay for 221 + shipping, SS catback and when I Googled it and listened to some of the videos it didn't sound to Fart Canish LOL

 

Thats the hardest part when buying off the net is not knowing what it will sound like.

Maybe they should set up a section just for people to post what there mufflers sound like that way people would know what they sound like before they bought....Just an idea....

 

Yeah virgin1, I looked and saw that you listed that as something you did to your car...I checked out advancing the timing in the general sense and everything I was reading said you should put higher octane gas in the car (higher octane for me = $3.30-$3.50 a gallon lol) Thats cool that the Monzsta Timing mod lets you run regular though...something to consider

 

So what kind of bump do you get in doing the advaced timing mod?

 

...yea...im having way too much fun with this car...i am chilling now though...gas prices too expensive to mess around and i have bills to pay, so i'll be spending money on wax at the most for the car.
