Mazda Chip Tuning
Up to 30% more power for your Mazda
The Mazda catalogue lists 203 engines (models: 29, generations: 45). For 19% of the engines, there are the GAN GT (up to 30% more power) and GAN GTL (up to 25%) tuning modules; for the rest, the GAN GA and GAN GA+ (up to 12%). Each engine’s figures are on its own page.
Mazda chip tuning without an ECU remap
The tuning module sits between the sensors and the engine control unit (ECU) and adjusts their signals. Your manufacturer’s warranty is preserved: the ECU software is never changed, and the module can be removed at any time.

What Mazda owners say about GAN
Five minute fitting. Immediately obvious performance change (improvement). Improve the documentation/description about how to use the custom/adjustment mode(s).
instant improvement turned car into a bit of a beast even better after recommended mileage very easy to fit and will recommend to all them sceptics try for yourself
Very fast post, very easy to install. Like everyone trying out a product like this I was a bit unsure what to expect, as there is a lot of debate online on the effectiveness of the application, or is ecu tuning better. Regards ECU tuning I don't know what the answer is, but regards the GAN unit, I can't say I was very…
Mazda chip tuning: questions
How much more power does a Mazda 2.2 SKYACTIV-D 150 get with chiptuning?
The 2.2 SKYACTIV-D 150 has 150 hp and 380 Nm, and with the GAN GT it reaches 193 hp and 481 Nm. These are the stated gains for this engine type, not a dyno reading of your car. The 175 hp version of the same diesel, with 420 Nm, reaches 205 hp and 528 Nm with the GAN GT, so go by output.
What can a tuning box do for a naturally aspirated SKYACTIV-G 2.0 with 120 or 165 hp?
Both are naturally aspirated 2.0-litre engines. Both work with the GAN GA+, rated at up to 12% for naturally aspirated engines, so expect less than on the diesel above. The 2.0 SKYACTIV-G 165 with 165 hp and 210 Nm reaches 185 hp and 235 Nm, and the 120 hp version 134 hp and 235 Nm.
Can you tune a Mazda with an e-SKYACTIV G mild hybrid engine?
On the Mazda3 and the CX-30, e-SKYACTIV G and X are 24-volt mild hybrids with a belt-driven starter-generator, not full hybrids. The Mazda3 page goes by engine and output: if your engine appears there, a figure is stated for it; if not, there is none.
Tuning box or ECU remap for a Mazda diesel?
An ECU remap replaces the factory software in the engine control unit, which is a different method from a tuning box. The GAN module sits between the engine sensors and the ECU and adjusts their signals, so the factory software, checksums and flash counter stay untouched. Your manufacturer's warranty is preserved: the ECU software is never changed, and the module can be removed at any time.
Does the GAN module affect my Mazda warranty?
No. The module does not change the ECU software and can be removed at any time, so your manufacturer’s warranty is preserved. We also give an engine warranty: 2 years with the GAN GT, 1 year with the GAN GTL.
Tuning box or ECU remap: which should I choose?
An ECU remap permanently changes the maps in the ECU and leaves a trace in the flash counter. The GAN tuning module adjusts the sensor signals instead: the ECU stays in factory condition, and you can return the car to stock in about a minute.
Mazda chip tuning: what to know about the engines
Mazda tuning: a mostly petrol range
Mazda tuning with a tuning box starts with one market fact: most Mazdas in Germany run on petrol, and the diesel share has fallen steadily. Diesels made up 65–66% of CX-5 registrations in 2013 and 2014, but only 28% in 2018. The Mazda6 went from 57–60% in 2014–2016 to 26% in 2018, and the Mazda3 diesel share stood at 3% in 2020.
From 2020 to 2025 the mild-hybrid petrol version made up 97–100% of Mazda3 registrations. The Mazda2 is almost entirely petrol, with diesel at 0–7% of its registrations. The Mazda3 and Mazda6 have led German registrations since launch, ahead of the Mazda2 and the CX-5, sold since 2012.
Engine names: the number after SKYACTIV
Mazda swapped its engine families between 2012 and 2013: the MZR petrol and MZR-CD diesel engines gave way to SKYACTIV-G and SKYACTIV-D. The Mazda6 GJ and the CX-5 changed in 2012, and the Mazda3 BM followed in October 2013. In the European names, the number after SKYACTIV-G or SKYACTIV-D is the output in hp, not the engine size. A SKYACTIV-G 100 is a 1.5-litre engine, the SKYACTIV-G 120 and 165 are 2.0-litre engines, and a SKYACTIV-D 150 is a 2.2.
Among the older names, MZR-CD stands for Mazda's own 2.0 and 2.2 common-rail diesels, and MZ-CD for the 1.6 built by Ford and PSA. On the Mazda3 and the CX-30, the e-SKYACTIV G and X names mean a 24-volt mild hybrid with a belt-driven starter-generator, not a full hybrid. The Mazda3 diesel, the 1.8 SKYACTIV-D, was dropped in March 2021, and the Mazda6 was built for Europe until December 2024.

Mazda engine tuning: which GAN module fits which Mazda
All European SKYACTIV-G engines are naturally aspirated. The names you will come across include SKYACTIV-D 105, 150 and 175 and SKYACTIV-G 100, 120 and 165. Each engine in the catalogue has its module: most diesels get the GAN GT, rated at up to 30% more power, and the naturally aspirated petrol engines the GAN GA+, rated at up to 12%.
For Mazda chip tuning the engine is the first question. Take Mazda CX-5 tuning: the 2.2 SKYACTIV-D with 150 hp (CX-5, Mazda6, Mazda3) and with 175 hp (CX-5, Mazda6) work with the GAN GT. The sports version is called MPS in Europe and uses the 2.3 DISI Turbo engine, so look it up by model and generation. SKYACTIV-X combines spark-controlled compression ignition with a Roots supercharger, so check the model page rather than assume a figure.
Which Mazda models are in the catalogue
The catalogue lists 29 models from Mazda. The most engines are listed for the 3 (39), 6 (30) and 2 (17). The biggest gain among the models is on the 3: up to +52 hp.
Naturally aspirated Mazda engines
For 153 naturally aspirated engines from Mazda, there is the GAN GA+: up to 12% more power and up to 15% lower fuel consumption in ECO mode. You can fit it yourself, in most cases in under 15 minutes.
How to find your Mazda engine
Choose your model in the list above, then the generation by model year and chassis code, and the engine by the power output in your registration document. The engine page shows the exact gain and the tuning module price.
