my mazda 3 on nos!!!!

Just make sure you use copper spark plugs if you are going to use nitrous. That is one of the things that is often overlooked and can lead to big problems. The tips on platinum spark plugs get very hot and stay very hot when used with nitrous, the tip could break off into your cylinder and that would be bad. Also if your using a manual I would get a window switch. This tells the nitrous at what RPMs to turn on and off. This way you can shut off the nitrous right before redline, so if you miss a shift your engine doesn't go boom. (blowup) Just be carefull, make sure your a/f ratio is fine and have fun. (burnout)
 
Schweet...How's traction coming off the line? What gears are you shooting in?

Chas
 
all gears are on n2o... off the line my best was 2.42 in 60ft......
without nitrous i've managed a 2.38.... but those big seventeens don't help very much
 
What you need to do is upgrade your motor mounts..this will help w/ wheel hop..as well as traction.

Not sure if there is aftermarket yet..but Window weld works really well. You fill your motor mounts..let them sit over nite..and install..

Makes a very noticable difference!

Chas
 
I'm not going to spend much on n2o tuning...just having a little fun while a turbo kit or supercharger come out...I'm not a big n2o fan ....I hope the come up with reliable boost fast cause this is a pretty slow car
 
That window weld mod..works great for both nitrous & turbo!

There is already a trubo kit out for the mazda3. Made by highboost.

Chas
 
I thought Hiboost's Mazda3 kit was still in development. When was it released??
 
I wrote to highboost and the kit is in development...they have a a phone number if you're interested ...they will call as soon as it's ready.
 
Hmmm im alittle hesitant in the Highboost application as their website does state "As long as you have a Mazda Protege 5 2002 or beyond with the FS 2.0 liter engine, our kit will work for you.The kit should fit the Mazda MP3 and the New Protege Mazdaspeed turbo (upgrade).
As a consumer I would feel more comfortible in buying an application that is made specificly for the mz3 2.3 engine. I know I might be the only one thats so protective of my 3 I dont trust the word SHOULD. However if it does fit and works ok with the 2.3 that would be awesome. I cant wait to hear the results from some one who gets it installed . (thumb)

From what I understand, Hiboost's turbo for the 3 is still in development. The one listed on the website is only for those applications listed, and not for the 3.

He's developing the new kit on a Mazda3 2.3L, and it will be a modified (and tested) version of the one he has developed for the Mazda6 2.3L.

Anyone, jump in with corrections!

Well with that in mind that might be somthing worth waiting for! (rockon)
 
I think, maybe, you were getting the MP3 (Special model of Protege) and the Mazda 3 confused. The P5, MP3, and MSP all have the 2.0L engine and the same front end as far as I know, so it should fit them all. That's what they were saying.
 
*scratches head* hmm you know what you are probably right. Some times i forget that the mz3 comes in a 2.0 engine. However, thanks to bvmazda3's post we know a kit for the 2.3L is in progress.
