My turbo has arrived!!!!!!!!

[KING13]

Maybe paint the left and right sides of the hood, along the ridges, but leave the center stripped with bare carbon fiber with clearcoat? Dunno. I'm not much into asthetic things as much as I am into engine work. =)

Yeah that was my plan to paint the outsides.

What is this thread about again? Did we get on a tangent here? (boom01)

 

[tsunami]

most deffinatly on a carbon fiber tangent... not a turbo... so king how you like it so far? how was the install? and when you going to open it up? (i.e. how long before the break in is done?)

 

[fam]

paint the whole hood plz!

 

[KING13]

Good luck with the install, can't wait to see pics... give me another year or so and i will have an NA beast to give your turbo a run for its $$... hehe... (poke)

In a year i will be putting 450whp down if i want so go race a mustang or something lol.

 

[MrTea]

Agreed, no matter what NA ideas you have the turbo will ALWAYS be on top. good luck trying though, it's always fun to see the builds happening...like this one!

Also King, does Juan recommend ANY sort of breakin? or is it more of a break in for the driver to relearn how the car drives now?

 

[rbmazda3]

Very nice 6 by the way Mr. Tea!

 

[MidnightSpeeder]

KING - Can you get some vids of your car? I want to hear this beast!

 

[MrTea]

Kinda redundant, but i think we all would. any time frame on when you think it will all be cleaned up and ready to go? Just as anxious here as we were when juan was posting #'s!


...and thanx rb!

 

[DE31]

it does look nice. did you get to keep those pieces that were on your bumper? it looked sick with them on.

Yeah, all the prototyped stuff i got to keep, or get when they are done with final prodution...some stuff has taken 10 months to get back.

I've been looking for this Turbo kit for quite some time now, hoping Juan will hit up his CA shop to finally look at it soon. That's why i'm so anxious to see how everything has turned out. Juan is still waiting on the manifold for the 6, but i'd like to see some pics and vids in the mean time to tide me over as i wait!

 

[DE31]

you dont live that far away from me. although far enough that there would be a very small chance i ever see your car.

[MAZDA 3 SXM]

hello,
KING 13 i would love to see more of your car, any video?
By the we were born the same day...!!!
how many horse power did you get with the turbo?

 

[pluto316]

Funny how it seems like every mazda out there takes boost better than the MSP.

Man, forget these NEW GUYS. We are the veterans. We were blowing motors before they even HAD motors.
