When the dealer warranted it, did they have to install it?
Or did you just talk to the service manager??

I'm getting interested in this mod based on all the positive props here...

No I Installed It Myself With The Help Of My Friend Is Who Is Pretty Smart With Cars, Not That Hard Of A Install Just Takes Time, And Double Checking. The Dealership Is Fine With It No Voided Anything. Yeah If You Don't Have The Intake I Would Definately Get It You Can Really Hear The Engine After Putting It On, It Gives You Way More Power , It Just Changes The Car On A Scale To One To 10 Like Almost A 10. Everyone Who Reads This That Has A Mazda 6 Should Definately Save Their Money If They Want To Mod Their Car And Buy This, Best Mod Ever. : ) Definately Satisfied, And Loving Every Minute Driving. The Car Is About 240 Horsepower Maybe A Little More Right Now, Why Would Anyone Not Want To Have That For Their Car By Just Adding The Cpe Intake Combo!!!! Come On Now : )

500$ for a intake? Wow

Its not an intake. Its a ECU chip that happens to have a large pipe that comes with it.

Basically an airfuel controller with a preset map, along with a maf controller to prevent cels, and a large pipe to remove restrictions.

Hahah why don't you post someting about the cp-e intake instead of worrying about the caps it's really not that big of a deal the caps were on because the whole point is to make people with the mazda6 realize GET THE CP-E INTAKE BECAUSE IT MAKES THE CAR INCREDIBLE TO DRIVE, THATS WHY IT'S IN CAPS..

01-11-2005, 08:43 PM

OH AND 500 BUCKS FOR WHAT YOU GET IS NOTHING JUST LIKE WHAT CROSSBOW SAID ABOUT TURBO CAR OWNERS BUYING A BOOST CONTROLLER FOR THEIR CARS AND GETTING 20 HORSEPOWER, YEAH WELL WITH THE CPE SYSTEM ITS 500 BUCKS AND THATS NOT THAT BAD FOR THAT KIND OF A GAIN, TAKE IT FROM SOMEONE WHO HAS IT ON THEIR CAR AND DIDN'T HAVE IT A MONTH AGO MY CAR IS ABOUT 100 PERCENT FUNNIER TO DRIVE NOW.

oh and caps on this post ia m sorry i just noticed it and don't feel like retyping the same thing over again

Its not an intake sigh. Its an airfuel controller and maf controller. It just happens to come with a large pipe that the maf controller is customized for.

The reason it nets 20 whp and 20 ft/lbs of torque is due to the Airfuel ratio moving from 9.7:1 (yes its that rich) to around 13:1.Wow, 13:1 is way too high...

Dexter

01-11-2005, 09:05 PM

not really, for N/A? ive always read you want to be around 14 for N/A and 12 for FI...

i second that...13:1 sounds pretty damn high lol...so this has effects on the mpg rates too huh? (uhm)

89 octane is used in this case ;)

OK Crossbow (and others) You have convinced me! I will save and hopefully have some bonus money left this year to buy the CP-e kit.

Thanks for the testing guys good it's about time, oh and you can run 87 no problems thats what its meant to run on. Now that we have discussed this matter lets go on to more important matters like getting the new mazdaspeed6 hid headlight system yes please!! whos with me?

Da 6

01-14-2005, 02:33 AM

some V6 owners(not stock ;) ) had to run 89...ask crossbow for firther explination on why that was.

jeffmsp

01-28-2005, 01:59 PM

20 na whp for $500 is a steal. btw removing your cat or getting a highflow with make more power difference than a catback exhuast and costs less.

Ha when I told some guys it was 13:1, they immediately responded "why so rich?". Either way, there are just as many issues with running with 9.7:1 (stock AF) as there would be with 13:1. I'd actually say there are LESS issues with 13:1 as the precats are no longer being doused with fuel. There have been a number of precats being destroyed from the 6's extremely rich fuel mixture.

I mean the damn cat's are litearly dripping with gas sometimes. Technically the design is that the fuel is supposed to "cool" the cats with the excess gas...but sometimes the gas ignites and cat temps go off the wall and greatly reduce their longevity.

Stupid EPA2 120k miles cat bs.

Btw Used Oil Analysis's with the CP-E have shown no increase in engine wear from the extra power and/or fuel ratio. In fact it looks like fuel dilution lowered slightly. Either way, this is an engine modification which includes changes to the vehicles stock mapping, so as always there is some level of risk involved. As such no one has had any issues as of yet. I for one am hoping to get rid of my stock exhaust system with the wagner headers to remove all worry about those stupid precats.

As for the 89 octane jaz...thats for owners with intakes NOT running the CP-E. The CP-E mafci corrects the A/F ratio across the entire curve...if you run an injen or AEM intake standardly (throwing a p0171 or p0174 cel) the A/F can lean out to around 16:1 under 3k rpms (under light load) which can cause pinging while cruising on a very hot day, and throws the check engine lights. Running 89 octane circumvents the pinging issue.

The CP-E is really awesome. My friend Tony (AzMz6) has one on his 6s.

Man what a difference in horsepower. He is getting 21 mpg too. We installed it in his driveway and he took it for a test drive. There is a warning about learning how to drive your 6 all over again. Its there for a reason. The car moves a lot faster than before.

Tony also has the MAGNAFLOW exhaust. Wow that car sounds so awesome with all that air pumping through it.

My next Mazda will most likely be the 6.

Nice, looks like a worthy mod.

StuttersC

01-12-2006, 04:04 PM

Is there wire splicing involved with the MAFci part of this?

The intake sounds nice and its good to know that they are trying to get the A/F ratios in a better area than 9.7:1...

Crud, I didn't even that rich on my MP3 turbo'd junker....

rednecks_r_us

01-12-2006, 09:05 PM

WEll you can scotch lock the wires but CPE is suggesting soldering.

Perro del Sol

01-18-2006, 05:19 PM

Yeah, CPE's MAFci is the the best for the 6s, have one on the wagon and the hatch! Just think what it will be like when it is matched up with the headers!?!

Can't wait! My dealership, is the one and only Mazda dealership in the country that carries their products, it is that good! It is by far the best investment that you can make for the V6, no CEL's!!

4 banger results as good?MTX with minimal mods showed. 4 Cyls didn't have the uber rich factory setting but still suffered from cels. Verry few others and myself were the rare ones. last CEL was when I was on the way to park my car for 6 mos. never got it checked cause when I returned the batt died. Either way the few who did get them had them for a lil bit and the sold them. I know of 1 person who still has one and il ask him how it's been. he had it for maybe lil over a year now.

The 6 is a wierd car I guess.

I saw on one of the other 6 boards that a company is trying for a programmer thing. That'll help out with out splicing wires.

I think I will just go with the AEM or the mazdasopeed intake then. :)

don't go for that one seriously
Cp-e or don't do it at all
You will have a check engine light in full effect about 10 wheel horse power less. WAste!
