How to add 1400hp to your Mazda3

Swap in a custom built Four Rotor engine like this one from TCP Magic…

Done!

All kidding aside, spotted this monster at this year’s Automesse in Osaka, Japan. It’s a Mazda3 built by TCP Magic for Time Attack.

Wow! Wish I could hear it lol

Same here…I heard it’s unbelievably loud. Something tells me you’re not going to get great gas mileage with this set up though..

In the blog they say that it's a custom built twin-turbo 4-rotor in a front engine rear drive configuration, with a "racing gearbox, prop shaft and rear differential." Couldn't really find any more specifics.

Thanks for the additional details, @sm1ke

It was great to see the owner and builder, Kawato at the show…It has been a while since we chatted in person, great to see he’s doing well and busier than ever!
