    Anyone Here Get Their 2.5T Tuned Yet?

    Interested in boosted 2.5T. I currently own a cx5 diesel with self made tune, doing the rounds okay, but I would prefer not to go through the process of writing my own tune again..

    2015 Mazda CX5 diesel engine start trouble, Transmission thump while stop

    G'day, I'm experiencing a few strange issues recently and somehow I don't trust my local Mazda dealer's service... so I would like to do a few research before walking into the dealer's service center. My vehicle is 2015 CX5 2.2 Diesel, 110,000km on the odo. Last month the weather became...

    That's, an interesting question. Yes, stock 19" wheel and tyre. I haven't thought to decrease diameter to improve the acceleration, but then the speedo wouldn't be accurate anymore. The first launch is a better one, but during that run I shifted too early from 2nd into 3rd.. and I'm not sure...

    I don't think I should make it go any faster without adding some decent hardware... Flashed in a new map to improve on torque delivery and fitted a pod filter, that's it, and the performance is pretty damn good. There are companies such as Diesel Tune, Chip Tune that adds a piggy back module...

    Custom made 2.2D intake (Diesel)

    LOL, Trust me, I'm very very not used to how things work in Asia too. Standards are simply different. If it's me, I would have put on every single piece of safety gear. I have asked him about his welding, apparently he has been doing welding for 20 years. Somehow he actually uses his thumb...

    Custom made 2.2D intake (Diesel)

    After the pipe has been made, I went out for a spin. It sounds great! But the engine wasn't happy. The idle was rough and soon check engine light came on. The car limped back to the shop and a few adjustments was made to the vent tube position - after which it now idles smoothly and "normal"...

    Custom made 2.2D intake (Diesel)

    Ever since purchasing the 2.2D, I've really missed the induction noise from my previous turbo cars, such as the late Opel Astra and Captiva 5 turbo diesel. Hell even my supercharged Mini Cooper S sounds pretty amazin! JUST want to hear that turbo sucking air!!!!! There are a couple of kits...

    HKS Intake (2.2D)

    Sorry for Hijacking the tread RedPanda, I'll move my post to a new thread. My goal has always been adding move induction noise instead of adding power/performance. So if it adds power then it's a bonus =)
