MS6 Turbo in a 3?

[weasel]

Anybody know if the turbo on the new mazdaspeed 6 will fit on the 2.3L for the 3 (help)

Umm, There is no such thing as a dumb question...

But...

3.0L V6 Turbo on a 2.3L I4 Not Going To Fit.

Serach for HiBoost Mazda 3

I thought the MS6 was a 2.3l?

It is infact a 2.3 (shady)

 

[Micah]

oooh BURN!

 

[weasel]

yeah the mazdaspeed 6 has a turbocharged 2.3L 4cyl I thought it was odd myself that they chose the 4cyl over the v6 but I'm sure they are smarter than I am

 

[RenzoMSP]

I'm sure they are smarter than I am

Im sure they are. Jk

MS6 is 2.3L turbo, chach.

 

[weasel]

k, I already knew it was a 2.3L 4 cyl. and I think that this thread has well established that. But, back to the original? Does anyone know about putting the turbo on a Mazda 3

 

[Dexter]

no, no one knows about it. because on one even has a MS6 to mess with yet.

What do you want to know, anyways?

 

[weasel]

I want to put a turbo on my 3, and I thought that if Mazda already did the ground work I could just buy one and bolt it on. My only concern is the tranny. I have an auto and I would imagine the MS6 is a 5 speed. I also figured an OEM turbo would be safer on the engine than aftermarket. And hopefully cheaper!

 

[wicked]

highboost already has a kit for it.

 

[weasel]

did you read my last post?...

 

[wicked]

OEM turbo's are usually safer,only because they are always low boost.

aftermarket turbo's are a lot more thought out(if you buy quality)

MS6 is 6-speed stick

It would be cheaper and better to go aftermarket. I bet all of the parts needed not including the fuel and timing controller would cost alot more than all of the aftermarket ones.
So Mazda did not do the ground work as you have a Mazda3 and it is a Mazda6. And it will not be cheaper. And it will not be a complete kit.

Go Hi-Boost and just have them set it at a lower boost than it already is. (lol2)

 

[Dexter]

yeah, OEM (if they even LET you buy the parts...) will be an ASSLOAD of money.

 

[MazzyH07480]

the reason that they put the 2.3L in the MS6 is because they wanted to keep the handling of the smaller engine. the V6 is to heavy and bulky for cornering and handling. so they decided to keep the lighter engine in it and turbo it so i can still have amazing handling.

 

[Dexter]

meh, the 6 doesnt have very amazing handling anyways.

 

[Rennoc]

meh, the 6 doesnt have very amazing handling anyways.

Not stock but MS6 will

Anyways, the likeliness that a dealer would go through the trouble of ordering a MS6 turbo for you, seeing as that they dont keeped those stocked in dealers, is slim to none. Ecspecially if he sees you roll up in a 3. Not to menchen that by the time you buy all the OEM parts your going to be looking at a huge price tag. Aftermarket will save you money and its easier to tune so you can set the boost as low as you want to keep it safe, and you can always get an auto tranny cooler to help out with that too.
