I’m not sure they built that motor. I think it was with stock internals and dyno’d 300whp. Might be worth reaching out to them for confirmation. I remember reading somewhere that the tranny and torque converter are different part numbers from the na version tranny and torque converter.

Exactly, all the gremlins that attend the pop up. I’ve helped do motor swaps from JDM right hand drive and it was a nightmare. Cost a lot more money than just turbo and building up the motor. Also, I believe cork sport has a turbo kit that fits the 2.3 NA CX -5. In my humble opinion, I’d reach...

If Mazda was smart, they would make a Mazda speed CX six or 70. I would prefer the CX 5/CX 50 with the in-line six with the eight speed. Install the twin turbo in-line, six with the eight speed transition. Or at the very least to a Mazda speed 3/6 with the in-line six twin turbo. Most people do...

I found that if you floored past the click, it does not shift at a higher RPM. You’re better off right before the click. Putting it in sport mode does not shift at 6KRPM. The best way is to use the paddle shifters to get close to 6KRPM for more often not it shifts add a little over 5500 RPMs. I...

I think that it’s a bad idea unless you have mechanical skills to do what you’re asking for. Modern cars require a lot of to do that kind of swap. Older Mazda are much easier due to front clips ship from Japan and even still lot of kinks have to be worked out since they are right hand drive

I have a turbo, CX five. As many have mentioned when I wanna pass or go through an on-ramp with some speed, I hit the sport mode and it helps with control coming around turns or accelerating to pass people. I also have paddle shifters stock and occasionally use it, I always fill with 93...

I’ve had two Mazda, cx/5 and when driving aggressive. In regards if you floor it you won’t get above 4k. Using the paddle shifters and premium fuel. if you floor past the point where the cl icker at the gas pedal it will automatically shift at 4K RPM if you’re running lower grade fuel. Try...

Check out this thread for the diagram. https://mazdas247.com/forum/t/2019-cx-5-gtr-bose-sub-upgrade-to-jbl-stadium-basshub.123877577/#post-6758458

Amp is under passenger seat. I’m looking for diagram for the pre-amp.

The LOC has bare wire in and RCA out. The JBL amp only has RCA in and regular/bare wire out. They threw away the boxes and manuals after they installed the system. Thankfully, the system sounds pretty good the way they currently set it up. Having the ability to adjust the knobs for the amp and...
