I have a 5 speed auto and I imagine that the improvement would be better with a manual transmission. Now on my first 1/2 tank calculations it should get 400 miles? Seems impossible, but we all did the math when I filled it up after our 170 mile trip! I will report back after I run a full tank through it and give you an exact miles per tan reading. I have NEVER gotten over 27 MPG in my 3 since it was new! I could barely hit 300 miles on a tank if I was lucky. Adding the hypertech just made it crazy! I was not expecting the MPG rise, as I was purchasing it for the driveability benifits. I have won cars that should have smoked me. My 3 has always ran 'exceptionally' well, leading me to believe it runs better/faster than most other 3's I have driven or ran against. You won't gain any power by revving to 7K Overall, I am satisfied with the Hypertech :nice:Īuto or Manual trans? I am sure the Auto's will not get the same results as the Manual cars IMO.ĭon't over rev it unless it is built for it.

One nice feature is that it clears DTC's. Raising the rev limiter was fun but I set it back to stock because I could tell the power really drops off beyond 7,000 RPM. I'm guessing a 10 hp gain just from the feel lof it. Throttle response is noticeably better with a nice increase in low and midrange torque. I have had the Hypertech for over a year on my 2007 Mazda 3 and my results were pretty subtle in comparison. BUY IT! You will wonder why your Mazda did not run this good from the factory. I have a CAI and Cat Back exhaust as far as engine mods go. DO NOT disturb the cable while programming. But either way, MAKE SUREthat the battery holds a full charge. You may either drive the vehicle to charge the battery or use a battery charger. I am saving gas $ even running Premium fuel and it will pay for itself in less than 10K miles!!! Hypertech Power Programmer and you decide to change the tuning, It is recommended that you recharge yourvehicle’s battery. I am runing the Premium fuel tune, and have not tried the regular fuel tune. I ran it at an auto-x event and it was MUCH better out of the turns in 2nd gear with no bogging like it had before. I went from 26.5 MPG to 34.7!!!!!!!! That was my first fuel consumption test at 75 MPH and up and over mountains. The idle is almost 200 RPM lower giving smoother shifts and smoother idle! The power now comes on before I can even get the clutch out! It is smoother and takes MUCH less throttle to hold freeway speeds! Performance was night/day diffference with power and driveability throughout the RPM range! Throttle response is amazing now! Now for the biggest difference. The Max Energy Power Programmer installs Hypertechs custom developed tuning which adds maximum power and performance for any kind of driving The simple LCD screen provides a guided tour through multiple adjustable tuning features, and diagnostic tool functions. I was not expecting the results I got! First off, it cured the hesitation when getting on throttle in low RPM's. I have an 06 Mazda 3 2.3L and I put the Hypertech Max Energy program on it.
