2.5 Throttle body Install and review on 2.0 Skyactiv Engine

In this episode we'll be installing a 2.5 throttle body out of a 2014 Mazda 6 Skyactiv on my 2012 Mazda 3 with the 2.0 Skyactiv engine! Disclaimer this is only for the Skyactiv engines and not the MZR line. For MZR engines I'm not sure if the Throttle Bodies are interchangeable through out the difrent displacements (2.0, 2.3, 2.5).

After reading tons of forum posts about this and watching videos, I finally decided to do this. Been watching junkyards for a year waiting for the perfect victim but none ever showed. I said screw it and ordered a Chazda 2.5L throttle body off Amazon. It made a small but large difference on my 2.0L. Feels like more torque down low, more power across the band, better gas mileage, revvs out faster, feels smoother, basically an all around improvement. In terms of power added, I would say don't expect any meaningful gain, the key word here is FEELS. Everything FEELS better. It's a great drivability mod.

I love how your doing an N/A build. I have a 2.0 and will be doing all your mods and the tune

The gentleman that ported the TB for my LS3 Vette explained that it’s not just diameter but how you machine the surfaces that can help the airflow. There was a lot of research and precision machining involved. His name was Pete from Vmaxx in FL I believe. I also ported by TB on my SRT4 and definitely helped. Nice vid!

when changing the throttle body to a 2.5 definitely get a tune and a fitting intake, which you might wanna do too since a 2.0 intake is just as restrictive as the throttle body itself.

I did the swap and it works wonders, my exhaust muffler sounds a little louder with more air coming in also. The response is noticeable also. I have an air intake with it, NGK iridium plugs and used premium fuel.

i’ve been looking for videos exactly like this! i’m definitely gonna try this on my 2012 3 thank you!!

[artemis]

The install looks super easy! I will definitely be doing this to my car! What is the part number for the throttle body?

hey man! i installed the 2.5L throttle body for a while and seemed to notice a little bit more oomph on the high end. however, I recently went back to the 2.0L throttle body to see what the effect would be (side note, uninstalling a mod is a tip I like, it's another way to try and see if a subtle mod did something) and I definitely seem to have better down low responsiveness, torque, and throttle blipping, but the top end does feel a little constricted now compared with the 2.5L throttle body. thought i'd share! thanks for the great vids

Just wondering if you can help me out I have a 2013 mazda 3 2litter and I put a cold air intake on and the car won't run

[adibz]

Its like drinking with bigger straw. Yes you get more volume of water, but slower rate and you need to suck harder. Small throttle body help to suck air much faster to the engine, which can give "induction" effect and also help fuel-air mixture to mix much better

[thrashythomas]

Did swapping the throttle body cause any check engine lights?

[Dyl__Cam]

Wow this is awesome, I was trying to find something I could do for performance besides a DR Tune. Thanks!!

Did you notice much of a difference with low end torque? I just got a 2016 Mazda 3 hatchback last week and it's got the 2.0. I had also test driven one with a 2.5 and it had a lot more low end torque than the 2.0 does. If the car with the 2.5 had a clean Carfax and had been a littlow lower priced I'd have gotten that one, but the one with the 2.0 was in pristine condition and had such great service history, I went with that car instead. I love how it shifts and handles, I'd just love a little more pull at the low end, especially between first and second. Torque is more fun to me than flat out speed, especially for city driving.

I have never worked on a car i have worked with tools to install audio visual lol i dont know if id be able to oull this off doesnt look to difficult

[adenthomas]

i have a 2010 2.5l s mazda 3 is there any other throttle body that'll bolt up thats larger than the 2.5 oem throttle body that i can just go to the salvage yard and pick up?

[DraLatinoOne]

Is that 2014 Mazda 6 throttle for a 2014 Mazda 3 Isport 2.0 or just the 2013 Mazda 3

[tun]

I have thought about doing this, just wasnt sure if it would throw a code or not.

[dylangauci]

Can you please share what cold air intake you have and where you got it?? I’m trying to change mine but some websites are expensive?

[jennysaad]

So nice ! I love all your videos keep it up 👍

[robertneedham]

Very interesting. I was gonna fit an MST Performance Induction Kit for Mazda 3 Skyactive-G 2.0L, but is this worth doing instead, please? My mazda3 is a 2014 model (UK)
