As the New Year rolls around, most people are looking for a change for the better in their lives. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At CorkSport we think one of the best changes you can make is more power for your Mazdaspeed. We have all the parts you need to liven up your Mazdaspeed3<\/a> or Mazdaspeed6 <\/a>in the New Year.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Safety First<\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

One of the first things to consider when modifying your Speed is the health of its engine. Performing maintenance is very important but it only gets you so far. When adding power, one of the first modifications on your list should be the <\/strong><\/span>CorkSport Max Flow Fuel Pump Internals<\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These pump internals allow you to maximize your stock fuel system for optimum power capabilities and safer than OE A\/R ratios. This means you can add the power you want<\/strong> and have peace of mind that your engine will get the fuel it needs.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Put the Power Down<\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Like the CS fuel pump internals, the <\/span>CorkSport Stage 2 RMM<\/span><\/a> for Mazdaspeed 3 will not directly increase the power levels of your car; however, it helps you put all that hard-earned power down. By decreasing the amount the engine can rotate, the Rear Motor Mount allows for reduced wheel hop and torque steer<\/strong> while providing faster throttle response and crisper shift feel. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even we are surprised how much this engine mount changes how a Mazdaspeed 3 feels. Don\u2019t worry Mazdaspeed 6 guys and gals, we have an RMM<\/a> for you too.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improving Airflow<\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Engines in an extremely simple sense are air pumps; so the faster you can get air in and out of the system, the better. That being said, some of the simplest and easiest power gains you can get from your Mazdaspeed are from upgrading the intake and exhaust.<\/strong> We have seen peak gains of 25ft-lbs and 33WHP from only the <\/span>CorkSport Stage 2 Intake<\/span><\/a> and a <\/span>CorkSport Racepipe<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Checkout the dyno sheet below.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"Dyno<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Power and torque levels will be further increased if you install a full CorkSport Turbo Back Exhaust<\/a> instead of just the race pipe section. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The catback exhaust section has proven to gain up to 14WHP while the downpipe section alone has proven to gain up to 21WHP. In the dyno graph below, the downpipe car had a CorkSport Intake installed at the same time as the downpipe<\/strong> (hence the 50hp gain).<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If that wasn\u2019t enough flow for you, we also offer 3\u201d and 3.5\u201d intakes for even more airflow into your turbo<\/strong>. Keep in mind though, once you get into those you will need to use a new tune to ensure your car runs optimally. But check out the extra flow you get!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turbo Upgrade<\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The <\/span>CorkSport Drop-In Turbo<\/span><\/a> is a fantastic upgrade to the stock K04 turbo<\/a> that allows your car to make more power on an equivalent boost pressure. It will work with any mods you already had on your OE Mazdaspeed turbo<\/a> as the CS turbo is truly a drop in upgrade.<\/strong> With supplemental tuning, fueling, and supporting parts, you can push your Speed to its limits.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
