How to install an engine on a Mazda 3?
1. Tighten the No. 3 engine mount stud bolts. 2. Secure the engine and transaxle using an engine jack. 3. Temporarily tighten the No.3 engine mount installation bolts and nuts. Do not tighten the bolts during this step. 4.
How did Mazda build a better Miata engine?
It created a dual-mass flywheel that has the same low inertia as the old single-mass flywheel, bringing newfound levels of refinement without any sacrifice to responsiveness. You can read more about the results of all these detail changes in our first-drive review of the 2019 Miata, but in short, Mazda has created a true gem.
How is fuel injected in a Mazda engine?
At low RPMs, fuel is injected during the heat and pressure strokes, and just before the power stroke to create a richer mixture around the spark plug, creating more stable combustion. This was critical to give this engine a boost in low-RPM torque, but not at the expense of refinement and fuel economy.
Why does the Mazda Miata have dual mass flywheels?
Dual-mass flywheels are great for dampening gear noise, but they’re heavy, making an engine slow to rev. Ordinarily, this would never fly in an ultra-responsive car like the Miata—Coleman fought hard for the single-mass flywheel in the original ND Miata—but Mazda has been clever here, again.
