oh and they upgraded the warranty on the tranny to 5 and 60k right? Everything i have learned about anything on this car i have had to research. I think when i get her back she needs a deep sound exhaust, and a radio upgrade...any suggestions on those two?

 

how? obviously Mazda didnt do it... because i asked and they said no... only remanufactured 4-ports because it goes with the 4-speed transmission... she get a whole new tranny with a 6-speed???

 

no they used the old transmission. they told her when she picked up the car she now has the 08 6port motor

 

lol i call bs, ive asked why they dont add a 6-port before and thats because of the transmission... lets ask Brian about this... and as for me info ill post the link to my source...

i dunno im going by what she told me so i might be wrong. and if i am oh well but thats what she told me

 

ahh yeah i know that she got a 4-port because they'd have to change around the fuel trims and fuel injectors and all that ****, adjust the pcm or ecu all that **** so im positive it had to be a 4-port

 

it might just be a 4 port but i dunno i cant split the motor open and find out

 

lol for now ill go with a 4-port until i see the engine...

 

they will not and can not upgrade a 4 port to a 6 port.... you can do it but mazda is not going too..... never..... ever..... you can tell if it is a 4 port by the lack of the two seperate intake runners on the upper intake manifold... only 6 ports have them...

 

Yes, im glad im right about this one lol but was I close to the right reason why they won't upgrade the engine?

 

yes it would require a new harness and pcm as well as all the 6 port specific **** that goes on a motor.

 

ok good , im glad im right on that. all those months of research have paid off some :D

 

I just bought some s-techs and need to install them... Anybody up for an install day or know of a good shop in the Dallas area?

 

^----I'll find myself in the same situation sometime soon and would like to know as well
