Question about Stage 2 Cobb Tuning Kit
 

I have a 2011 mazdaspeed 3 that I just got about a month ago. I'm looking into modding some stuff on it and I found a couple packages that I may get. The first one is this:
MAZDASPEED3 Gen2 Stage 2 Power Package with V3
Does anyone know if a 33% hp gain would do that much do the car? I also found a stage 3 kit I was thinking about but it doesn't really say the hp gain on it. Link is below:
MAZDASPEED3 Gen1 Stage 3 Power Package with V3
Does anyone have this or know of anyone that does? How much of a gain is it about?

Any help or tips are appeciated! :)

Get fuel pump internals, an AP, RMM, 3 inch intake, test pipe, and either e85 or WMI along with a tune from Lex, Atvfreek, or Finkle.

not a great start.

read your welcome PM and do some leg work.

internals, RMM, intake, TP/DP, tune...that will net you best bang for your buck.

Op you have two perfectly valid answers. /thread

Dude. It comes with a Cobb vehicle badge!

throwing those parts all on, using an ots map= maybe 30/40hp, e-tune= more
similar parts could be put together cheaper.
they are all good parts though and if you have $ to throw on now, go ahead.
i'd still say hold off a week or two and research more first.

I just recently purchased a ms3 and when initially searching for go fast stuff, the cobb stage 2 looked attractive. Since joining and searching there are many cheaper options out there.

cheaper? how so? all the "go fast" mods that are required for cobb's stage 2 are all really good supporting mods that you would/should/plan on getting in addition to an amazing tune by one of the e-tuners here..so in effect, not really cheaper...

if we're talking strictly go fast parts and what is the best bang for your buck route...

internals + AP, intake, TP/DP, corn+e-tune..(not all inclusive but the staple go fast parts)

I stand corrected, by cheaper meaning bang for bucks.

Ur best mod comes via donating to the forum.

I'm seeing a lot of responses to find different parts so that's probably what I'll end up doing. I'm thinking about starting off piece by piece. I'm thinking getting a CAI and then maybe a turbo back exhaust to start myself off. Anyone have any suggestions on some good manufacturers I could get them from? I saw a nice corksport turbo back but I've never heard of corksport before so I'm not sure if it's a good manufacturer and then I'm thinking just a simple K&N CAI.

Seriously, man? This is your mod path after what we just hand fed you? Do yourself and your car a favor and read your welcome PM again and do some independent research before you blow yourself up. Your complete disregard of the advice and subsequently the wealth of information on this forum is frustrating.

I can't tell at this point if you're trolling all of us or just fucking lazy...think I'm wrong? get an intake and turboback exhaust before internals...hope that works out for you...

I'm not trying to blow myself up but I'm not much of a car guy so I don't know what all the abbreviations mean. I don't know what you guys mean by internals, WMM, TP/DP.. I joined this forum for help and I just started school to learn how to work on cars and such but I still don't know much about car parts. By internals do you mean stuff for the engine? From my understanding, I've always thought that you would be fine just upgrading the exhaust and intake without having to mess with the engine or anything like that. I thought those were very basic upgrades. One of my buds suggested getting a turbo back exhaust instead of a cat back exhaust so that's why I said turbo back as one of the first upgrades. I have also read my welcome message but I didn't see anything about "internals."

Don't listen to one your buds...does one of your buds own a speed3? if the answer is no, stop listening to him. If yes, he too doesn't read much and you should stop listening to him. Just take literally 1 minute to search. You'll find everything you need if you search.

(internals = fuel pump internals). stop being a lazy ass.

I joined few months ago and i did not know anything about DP, TIP, RMM etc…… until i read stickies and noob info :) Anyhow i was thinking i will just get SRI and some other bolt ons and be happy….. That was until i read this entire forum (well most of it) and realized there is a method to the madness. Since then i chose path that makes sense for me, first i started with RMM (rear motor mount) from there I'm looking at Fuel pump internals, SRI + TIP + AP. that is just to start with…...

internals and AP should be purchased together so you can monitor your pressure to make sure everything is installed correctly...

This is very good advice. If you have E85 around you, the above is a good list to go off of and will get you 300+ whp. With the mods in my sig I dynoed at 330whp/380wtq (dynojet). The total cost of the mods and the tune (I bought everything new) was a bit less than what that cobb package is.

@kmatias93; bro all the stuff for the acronyms and literally all this stuff can be found pretty easily. I hope you're not trying to troll because the guys on this thread are actually being pretty darn nice to you compared to what would've happened in the past. I think in an earlier post you said something about not knowing corksport. They are a good brand with real good customer service. Look at James Barone Racing as well.

The first thing you need to do though is just spend a few days reading. This platform has aged and pretty much every question you can ask has been answered.

Your "buds" need to realize that this is a direct injected engine. This means it needs insane amounts of fuel pressure. You can't just add a turbo back exhaust on stock internals and that's pretty much the first thing you'll read on here. You can get away with an intake and test pipe, but that's about it. But definitely monitor the fuel pressure, because there have been a few incidents where the stock pump can't even keep up with stock intake let alone an SRI.

Downpipe+big turbo kit+turboback= Your engine having air flow for dayzzzzz do etttttt

I've bought an intake, test pipe, fuel pump internals, and an accessport. All brand new, spent a grand total of 1200 bucks. You can spend four grand on that cobb stage 3 and we can probably call it a drivers race on who's car is quicker in a straight line. Research is key.
