6 litres to 2.3

[fillo]

Hi all,
just sold my 6 litre V8 SS for a brand new gen 2 MPS....
wow! what a car! I now drive everwhere with this huge grin on my face, very similar to my new grill. Happy to be part of the club and looking forward to a few mods and advice from everyone. Cheers.

Great to hear you love your new ride.

It's good to see that with 4 less cylinders, it still has the acceleration power that you had in your V8!

What colour? Post up some pix!

G'day fillo and welcome! Glad to see you came round and purchased a superior driving machine!
V8's can be fast, but for 6.0L I would expect so! I always think of a typical commofalcon V8 as "fast" but not "quick" if you know what I mean...

Have you got any mod's already planned for your new ride? And...what colour have you got?

Welcome to the forum mate. SS to MPS hey. That's some swap. Contrats on your purchase. Enjoy!

Welcome and enjoy.. For some reason there is more satisfaction beating a V8 in a 4 pot than beating a 4pot in a V8.



You will leave them wondering how a mazda 3 whooshed past

Great swap. Welcome to the forum!

Cheers all,
yeah not you usual swap but one test drive and I was hooked!
Acceleration pull through.....wow!!
The v8 was fast but that size engine only comes into its own at speeds not fit for our roads - wasted!
There is something very satisfying about the look you get when reality hits that a mazda has just blown their doors off..!
Looking for some mods....advice please.
Colour is velocity RED.

An SRI (short ram intake) is most peoples first mod. Greatly improves throttle response and induction sound. Best bang for buck to get you started. Exhaust would be your next step then a tune perhaps.

First and foremost mod is an SRI like the MZR ones (pm DISIMS3). Makes a whole world of difference to the sound (can hear the turbo spool and even with the stock BPV it goes "whaampssshhh" haha) and gives it a lil kick aswell. After this you could look into a turbo inlet pipe, FMIC, cat back exhaust but all of these are far more expensive that na SRI for very similar gains.

Enjoy the beast though, cause i know i still have a stupid grin every time i drive mine!!
