Rillo's Speed3 Bolt-on E85 build

[Austenrillo]

Hey guys, this is my first build thread! To give some background, my 2012 mazdaspeed 3 is my first 4cylinder boosted car ive ever owned. In highschool, i was blessed enough to have a dad that bought me a 2008 Mustang Procharged GT, 2007 Shelby GT500, and a 2014 Mustang 5.0. Most of you will ask "Why would you ever go from v8 supercharged cars to a 4 cylinder car?". The answer is very simple, No more daddy's money. Im now about to be 23 and currently pay my own bills and had to trade in my cars for an affordable but enjoyable car. Anyways, ive had my Speed 3 since last February (had 40k miles on it and got it for 12.5k out the door!) and when i bought it, it was bone stock. I purchased a Corksport stage 2 intake with TiP and had an exhaust shop make me a custom racepipe. I also read all of the horror stories of ZZB and bought Autotech Internals and also bought myself an Accessport v3. Im currently running a stage 1+ OTS map and its ehh to say the best. Its been about 9 months since ive done any performance work to my car and woke up one morning and snapped. I bought an ebay catless downpipe (m2), New front rotors, CXRacing FMIC, NGK 6510 step colder plugs gapped at .026 and a JBR 80duro RMM. The downpipe, rotors, and RMM all arrived today in the mail and now im just waiting on the FMIC and Spark Plugs to come in so i can order my custom tune from Purple Drank and get this show on the road. I will be running a E33 tune (e-85/93) Tune on my k04 until it dies. The future plan is to go CorkSport turbo once my k04 starts smoking (Im at 55k miles right now), upgrade the FMIC to a Treadstone TR8, and add a 3.5inch Intake). Im extremely excited to get these parts installed and get my custom tune and see what numbers i put down! I cant wait to share everything with you guys and i would love feedback and hear what everyone has to say/ tips people give! Thanks!

Welcome. Got any pics? I'm at the end of my E33 tuning. All I have to say is Jesus Christ why haven't I done this earlier. Really wakes the car up especially where it used to fall on its face. I ran a charger last night. Didn't know we were going to run so he got the jump. By the end of fifth gear it was like he was sitting still. Love the E. happy tuning
