Mazda and Ford shared the same 2.3 litre engine in that time. I recently sold my MPS after having owned it for 15 years with no reliability issues. They are actually quite reliable. Honestly, it's an underrated car that is almost 20 years old, so it's no more of a time bomb than any other turbo 4 getting to that age. Thanks for the review.
@mituc Жыл бұрын
This is a 100% Mazda engine and was never fitted in this form to any Ford (or any other brand) vehicle. The newest Ecoboost engines are based on this because somehow ford managed to get all the patents on this engine when they divorced back in 2010-2012, based on the fact that it was built on the Duratec block template. However, the only parts that fit from the Ecoboost to 2.3DISI-T are the crankshaft (without the balance shaft though) and the oil pump (and with some clever mix of parts also some timing parts).
@gavinr9107 Жыл бұрын
I have seen a substantial amount of both the Mazda 3 and 6 MPS for sale that either require a rebuild or have had an engine rebuild. Perhaps standard they may be ok however they don't take kindly to modification, and certainly not as robust as the 90's JDM era engines.
@mituc Жыл бұрын
@@gavinr9107 That is because of the factory recommended oil which was chosen to get the best emissions possible. They recommended the same oil in the RX8s, as well as 1.3-2.5 NA engines. At least the 2.3DISI-Ts held better than the rotaries with that joke of an oil...

I run Motul Xcess 5w-40 since I'm catless. Heard its a good choice and stopped my p0012 timing over retarded issues so far. that code was plaguing me after i had this new engine installed but now it seems good.

The i30 N (hatch, sedan, fastback) and Sonata N Line are the modern day FWD torque steer monsters. Honda Civic Type R has been around for a millenia so everyone knows what that is. Mazda advertised the heck out of this when they first dropped, 2.3L turbo with 190kW and 380Nm doing 0-100 in 6.1 secs.
@blann65 Жыл бұрын
6.1 with 190kw wasn't bad back in the day. That was considered insanely fast when it first came out but my current car with 153kw does 0-100 in 6.3 seconds and that is very very fast considering it only has 153kw and 280nm. Can't deny the Hyundai hot hatches are fast and have a lot of torque steer but these days torque steers is managed a lot better by all the diffs and suspension kits these cars come out of the factory with.

These are imo a proper drivers car, you have to physically drive the thing and not just sunday drive it lol.

There are a fair few around. I think you probably just dont see them because they sorta hide as a hatch. I remember when i was a mechanic, a customer had one and i took it for a road test. First generation, had it tuned and so on, on stock wheels and tyres. Thirds gear when the boost came on, it almost pulled me over two lanes of traffic. They were a pretty potent car stock.
@Jo_Wardy Ай бұрын
I love these Mazdas and i wanna get one but have to be careful on the second hand market with JDM cars because they will need alot of work and they have high ks and been thrashed. But i prefer the Sedan in mazda MPS because of the rear look but hatches are very practical. aswell

This Was when Ford Owned Mazda and Volvo. The Engine Is Volvo Engine, it's The 4 Cylinder 16v 2.3 Block which was in the Volvo. Its Known as The Red Block Came in 8v and 16v versions. it was the last Volvo Engine to be 4 Cylinder with 16v Head. The head casting design was done by cosworth for the touring car BTCC Season before the 5cylinder 2.3 & 2.5 that was in later Volvo's and Fords when Ford Sold there shares in Mazda, Mazda stopped making performance hot hatches. 👍👍

I have the same feeling in my ST on E30 - stock turbo so the torque is just ridiculous. Baby turbo though it's roughly 300fwhp and 570nm. I used to have an upgraded turbo 6MPS with 328awhp, that was good fun, and a good sleeper to boot
