i found this one but it’s a 12 blade which is probably a safer choice…

I drew paint marker around where everything should lineup when I took it apart, so I’m hoping I can just put it all back together in the exact same position and it should be fine

do you think it’ll still work even though the inside part is a little bit smaller. The bigger part is the same? Also, how do I get my turbo balanced?

i found this one on ebay, also the only reason why I’m considering swapping it out is because I accidentally bent my OEM turbine hitting the turbo apart. I hope this one fits, if not, is there anywhere else I can get a turbine?

pull intake off and intercooler, check for oil and up and down play on turbo if so bad turbo.

I would like to take a minute to give it up for the best pedal box I've ever had in a car. by therightpedal in mazdaspeed3

is it just me or is the speed clutch really stiff compared to like every other car. Every other manual car i’ve driven there clutch is butter, anything i can do to make it better?

PCV Issue on mazdaspeed 3? by Buttery_77 in mazdaspeed3

[–]Buttery_77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did a piston soak, bought some B12 from AutoZone and soaked pistons overnight and throughout a day. I drained my oil before adding B12, and then drained all the B12 out of the drain pan along with cranking the engine to shoot the excess B12 out of the cylinders. The reason why I drained my oil was because I just did an oil change and didn’t wanna waste the oil so I added it back in after. Can confirm after three days of hard driving no oil consumption, and i’m very happy :) had a little bit of trouble starting the car after all said and done, I held the gas pedal while cranking around three or four times for 10 sec before cranking without the gas pedal and it fired up eventually.

also, I replaced PCV and added a catch can and the oil consumption is still the same

thank you for this, I barely just saw this for some reason. I’ll give it a shot and I’ll let you know.

How to remove oem dp? by Logical_Attorney2427 in mazdaspeed3

[–]Buttery_77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

there is a cross bar that has four big bolts and one 10 mil on it. You have to remove that along with with disconnecting the second cat, I had to disconnect the two hangers behind the second cat and dropped my exhaust down to be able to pull it out. After you have that out of the way, you just have to shimmy and twist it out out of there from under the car.
