Mazda3's With Aftermarket Turbos

[Zoomzoom17]

Sorry if this is a duplicate thread. Let me know.

Mazda3's
Not Speeds

I know some of you have turbo in your car. I'm debating whether or not to get it.

Brands I know of currently:
HiBoost
Tri Point Motorsports
F2 Mazda
Reactive Racing

Tripoint says it's only for 2.3's and Manuals. Anyone done it on a 2.0 or an Auto? I have a 2.0, Auto, Sedan.

Any other brands?

If it's not too personal:
How much did you pay?
Any problems with it?
And upgrades to it?
Suggestions?
How much did you pay for a chip tune?
What numbers did you get out of it?
What other mods have you done?

Ok, with aftermarket turbo for a 2.0 automatic, you would need to upgrade the valvetrain... (trans) since stock trans wont hold the boost at all....

otherwise.. there is a lot of ppl that boosted their 2.0's.. plz search

what about a 2.3L auto? 2008

also what about f2?

Lucas. Thank you for the answer.

But I'm simply trying to compile a list of companies and reviews of their turbo's. Many people make threads about their turbo'd cars but those threads don't last long and I know for myself that I've searched a lot to find companies that have turbo for my car. I'm just trying to list all that I can find for those who were in my position. Sorry for the confusion.

Also question about F2. They have a stage 1 and a stage 2 kit. I'm guessing stage 1 must be installed first and then stage 2 or is it something like a second version that is just more developed?

ive been trying to figure out the diff. between stage one and two for a while now.

Yeah I'm thinking about sending them an email to try and figure it out.

I just sent an email to F2 inquiring about the difference between Stage 1 and Stage 2.

Turbo kits available for NA Mazda3

I have a Reactive Racing Turbo kit I installed in my 3. It worked great until I ran it outta oil. Kit will run you in the $4-5k range. Not very hard to install. I know that there are 4 more on the shelf here at work.

I use PCS extended fuel controller hooked up to the wideband (thanks to Mazda for putting that in from the factory). I only push about 8-9 lbs, but that is enough to put ~245hp to the wheels. (dynoed at 265 with 10lbs before I ran outta fuel)

There are a few other things done to the car, but to answer your question, yes this kit will work for an auto, and yes for a 2.0L.

I would highly suggest putting pistons and shorter rods (Wisco, Eagle) in your motor if you run this much boost, but you could easily get away with 6 pounds and leave most everything stock.

PM if you have any more questions.

Scratch that. On the site it says out of stock. Any reason? Thanks.

wow... it only took me 4-5 months to respond! a new record..

We have 3 more here that are ready to go out the door. I also have some Balance shaft removal kits here if anyone is interested. A very easy mod that drops about 25lbs off your car + most of that is rotating mass. Unbolt oil pan, 4 bolts to get the balaance shaft and put it back together. It may make your idle a little rougher, but I didn't notice it on mine.
