The idea behind using a more quality plug with a smaller gap is to keep the spark from blowing out when you increase boost pressure. The trusted spark plug in this platform would be the NGK Iridium IX plugs (part # 6510). Spark Plugsĭouble check what your tuner will want you to use, but in general, people will use one step colder plugs gapped down to a. These will increase flow and allow your fuel pressure to stay above 1600psi keeping you in the safe zone. Before a tuner will touch your car, you will have to make sure to have these upgraded. This creates lean situations which have lead to engines grenading themselves. What we have seen is the pump spike pressure up in the 1800’s, and by redline, the fuel pressure has dropped below 1600psi. The stock high-pressure fuel pump internals has proven to randomly lose pressure during a fourth gear wide open throttle pull. When you do apply for a tune, your tuner will tell you which parameters to monitor so they can have the correct information to get you a reliable tune. Not only can you make adjustments to your ECU, but you can also read/clear CEL’s ( check engine lights), and you can also monitor up to six different parameters in real time. You will use your AccessPort to record logs and send those logs to your tuner. This is the gateway to access your ECU and to make adjustments to your tune. The very first step in getting your Mazdaspeed tuned would be to get the Cobb AccessPort tuning device.
This helps streamline getting your Mazdaspeed ready, and it also helps your potential tuner so they don’t have to worry about tuning with a potential mechanical problem.
So how do you get a solid tune on your car? CorkSport wanted to make sure to lay out exactly how to prepare your Mazdaspeed for tuning services. People sometimes seem to forget that quality of your tune is just as important as the quality of your parts. Before you know it, your Mazdaspeed is now fully bolted with an upgraded CorkSport Turbo. It all starts with an AccessPort, and CorkSport Fuel Pump Internals. CorkSport was just hit with snow again today…boy are we ready for winter to be OVER!Īre you ready? What do you have left to get ready before the weather breaks, and racing starts? Winter months exist so us Mazda people can spend all of our hard earned money to make our Mazdaspeed’s faster.
