Anyway, what im asking is what custom ecu tunes have members here used for their mazda 3 ( i have a 2.3ltr) , and what was there gains? Any issues/problems that i should look out for.

you need a full stand alone which is pretty much around the 2k mark for it and a bit of tunning. as far as gains go they were decent from what i remember it was around 20hp or something like that plus 25 or so ft lbs. after the fuel maps had been adjusted for the mods the people had. i think it was a microtech (??) unit that was used.

Yeah Microtech and Haltech have been used here in Oz.

we have an air/fuel controller available for the 2.0 and 2.3 mazda3 which has shown some very good results.

Almost out of warranty on my 2.0L '06, at about 50K miles. wanted to definitely look into the possibility of tuning the ecu. Would get a complete exhaust, headers on down, and an intake. But i know i'd need injectors and what not... later on down the line!

you would not need injectors for basic bolt ons

Thanks for the input! As for Stage 1, where would I notice a bigger difference? Intake or exhaust? Planning on doing both. 1 at a time tho.
