The Best Power Mod For A Mazda

In the ongoing quest to make your Mazda more powerful, and fun to drive, we have developed many great aftermarket options.

The stock airbox and air intake on most Mazdas were designed for economy instead of power. The problem with using the stock filter and airbox is that it functions similar to breathing through a rag. The rag does a great job of keeping contaminants and dirt out, but it also requires extra effort to pull air in.

When you upgrade the intake to a CorkSport Short Ram Intake you remove the air stifling setup and finally breath freely. Suddenly, your car goes from an underpowered, oxygen lacking zombie, to the free breathing, throaty roar of increased horsepower and freedom.

Take a look at a section from our book “The Ultimate Mazda Performance Guide” about how a Short Ram intake system should be your first modification for power.

If you are looking to start the year off right, and are ready to upgrade your intake system we can answer any questions on which option is best for your ride.

Want to start 2014 off with some extra power? How about just letting your Mazda breathe easy? Thankfully you can do both with one simple modification, the Short Ram Intake.

Mazda Axela Sport and the 6 Wagon Turbodiesel (Next Mazdaspeed?)

2014 Axela Sport Concept (New Mazdaspeed?)

Mazda recently released some concepts with Mazdaspeed exteriors. Could these be the next Mazdaspeed 3’s? The new Axela Sport with Mazdaspeed Exterior certainly has a sporty look, but there is no official word on if this is just a design concept, or if it’s confirmation of the next Mazdaspeed 3.

The hatchback will feature a strengthened chassis, some Brembo stopping power and a set of black alloy wheels. The end result is a stunning example of another great design from Mazda, a company that truly understands blending high performance and sporty style.

Whether this is the new Mazdaspeed or not, we look forward to more ideas and designs from Mazda, such as the Mazda 6 Wagon concept below!

Mazda 6 Wagon Mazda Design Concept

Also joining the 6 sedan lineup is a stylish wagon variation. Featuring subtle aero changes, new wheels and a leather wrapped dash. It will house a Mazda’s SKYACTIV-D 2.2-liter turbo-diesel engine power-plant. Rumor has it that we should be seeing this engine in the USA, so we have our fingers crossed. Turbo + Diesel + Wagon = the best of all worlds, at least we think so!

We’re Listening… Big Turbo Products !!

 Got Boost ?

We’ve heard through the grapevine that some people think of CorkSport as a “Bolt-On” company. NO WAY! It’s often said that you need to go to XYZ or ABC or some other micro-tuner for big turbo (BT) products.

It’s true that we don’t yet offer a big MAF intake or upgraded manifolds and the like for the BT crowd. This is a matter of economics not passion or engineering capability. Fortunately for all of us, more and more Mazdaspeed3 owners are pushing towards 400 WHP and beyond. We believe there are enough of you out there to support some big time products. Before we get into those, let’s revisit a collection of our products that we’ve released in the last year that no other Mazda performance company can touch. Most can’t even check one of these parts off their list.

No-one in this market innovates at the pace we do at CorkSport. No-one in this market comes close to releasing the quantity of products we do at CorkSport. Check out what’s in the pipeline* for our BT friends.

We are also working on CorkSport 3.5” Big-MAF intake and CorkSport Fuel Injectors for MZR-DISI among many other projects.

We are a dedicated Mazda performance company. You’ll find no Ford, Subaru, BMW or other platforms on our website. Our profits go back into making more Mazda parts. That’s it.

You told us you want to go BT with CorkSport. We’re listening.

As always, we appreciate your business and feedback. Reach out!

President

* Keep in mind that not all products in development make it to retail. Sometimes we develop a part and find there is no real value and abandon it –  TMIC cold-pipe. Other times, the cost to launch a new part is such that we can’t hit a price point that you will accept.
