P.P.P.S: Did anyone know that there was a door unlock button near your knee area? It's a very small button, when you press it, all car doors unlock. I did not know of it's existence at all and my SA also never mentioned nor did I see it in the manual book. WHY PUT THERE?? I have been manually opening my car doors via the car door and thought it wasnt very elegant for such a tech rich car. Placement is also weird.

How is your car performance after ECU remap? Any noticeable changes in FC? I'm planning to do a ECU remap for my car as well.

Where did you do the ECU remap? For RON 95 or RON 97? Any advantage in performance?

OH so that's what it is? I sorta had a feeling it was programmed that way to save fuel; sluggish acceleration at first and then sudden increase in acceleration. I always have a sudden burst of power whenever I tekan to overtake a car. Is that why I have to pump petrol every 380km? For me the car is not fuel efficient at all, one full tank definitely cannot reach Penang. My old Vios can go to Penang one tank no problem, coasting at 140-160km. Last pump on the 15th, yesterday 19th had to pump again. Is this unusual? I'm getting 8.8L/100km/h but it doesn't add up. I get about 200km for the first 3 bars, and then the remaining bars goes down really damn quick. By 380km the car range shows I have maybe 49km left, which usually means in real time I can go for another 20km before my pump petrol indicator lights up.

Maybe I need to lay off the kick down. Starting to miss my vios. Only had to pump once every one and a half week.

Do let me know how to ECU remapping turns out.

I asked the mazda service rep whether it was normal when I went to do my 1k service and he said yes. I accelerate a lot and drive anywhere between 110~140kmh now without going any higher because my petrol just goes down like water down the hill. I drive up and down from klang to subang, that's about it. Should I insist to Mazda that this isn't normal? Is anyone else getting a reading close to mine? I don't think even with braking and acceleration as constantly as I do should have such a big difference.. I mean, everyone else is boasting 500~650km/h and I'm here struggling to even get 420km on one tank. Don't tell me everyone who got this car drives on AVG 90kmh! 

I drive 110~140 kmh when road is clear, I drive on highways 80% of the time moving at about 90kmh due to congestion and mild crawl for a short bit near the i-City toll there. 6 times a week. I do accelerate to over take but not very often.

Which FB group? I joined one but hasn't been approved.

Thanks for your info. Please update us when you have more experience with your ECU remap. Are you using RON 95 or RON97? I'm more interested in more oomph at low rpm and removing the lag. FC is secondary as I'm already getting very good FC. I get 650km per tank for 60% highway and 40% city driving and I drive 120 - 140 km/h on the highway.

I've checked out the AE Tuned website and their price looks reasonable. But are you sure the gain in performance is not psychological? Did you do any dyno to compare?

YES. i-Stop also. That's why I turned it off. Mana tau my wallet cannot take it hahaha.

Will remapping via AE tuned void warranty?

I tried to make the process more automated by turning my air conditioning on at 18c so that I never have to turn i-Stop off every time I start driving but that might probably not be very fuel efficient

tried a member's car tuned by AE already, to be honest i cant feel the improvement plus it VOIDS warranty for sure, every single remap done will be recorded in the ECU... original mapping is the best dy, balance... if u wan better power, go change drop in air filter, or modify exhaust.. but also lead to warranty void...

You dont need to brake that much until I stop kick in to stop a car from moving Try to control. 

If not mistaken, mazda 3 pre tuned more toward fuel efficiency. On the other hand, Mx Miata which using the same engine as M3 tuned more toward performance.

And I do read some article before, M3 power boost after 3000 rpm and continue. Before 3000 are set to be low rev but still powerful for your need.

Our M3 is good for overtaking when you are travelling at a decent speed like 80-90 km/h but not so responsive when you are starting off from standstill or going at low speed. In that case we have to rev the engine before the power comes after a slight lag. If the remap can give better response at low speed/low rpm I think it is worth it already. But how to test a remapped M3 before deciding? That is the problem.

guys finding knight sport bodykit around kl/pj any shop got ?
including paint and installation

anyone knw and can help ?

thanks : )

asked d..no luck too : )

yes bro, stock mapping is kinda laggy or i would say its tuned to be more fuel efficient, haha, notice that m3 likes to go to highest gear possible at all times..

i also cannot tahan that, tats why i added a taiwan ultra charger which cost around 1k, and a drop in stainless steel air filter.. believe it or not it does give me more torque in lower end rpm.. not to say a lot, but i feel better response..
yes bro, 3k-4k is really good, i came from persona too... same goes to me, need to rev real high for overtaking.. but i love m3 2nd gear the most, 3k-5k was real fast! 

Are shift paddles useful to control the gears rather than adding hardware or going for ECU remap?

That because of torque.
How much torque increase from your mapping?
Im also interested to do ecu remapping for better acceleration. But i also afraid if it can cause tyre damage bwcause high torque tyre will torn n wear easily

wow.. too bad the local one didnt provide any dyno results for b4 and after tuned.. if local malaysia tuner can get similar result like this, i will go for it for sure! so much of torque gained in low end rpm almost 40nm! tats impressive!

Any idea on Caltex fuel?
I got few friend which in car servicing business, they recommended me to use Caltex.

bro bro bro.. pls share the dyno result.. hehehehe.. cant wait   

bro it seems like low end torque for stock is even better wor.. coz the torque after tuned only increase at rpm 4.5k which is consider high rpm to me.. i drive 2k rpm most of the time.. maybe suitable for drivers who prefer high rpm driving always.. hehe

The dyno graph doesn't make sense for the response you are getting as it shows that low end torque has decreased and high end torque from 4200rpm increased. The increase is quite marginal also. Based on this graph I wouldn't do any tuning with them as it doesn't show that they know how to tune a SkyActiv engine properly. Do you have dybo results for your actual car?

Is that graph is for M3? I also have the dyno graph from AE Tuned but the graph is different.
The air/fuel is decrease after 4.5k rpm.

Here you go.
