OEM Supercharged 323Fs/P5s from Switzerland

[Kansei]

someone heer on the forum has a supercharged P5... man, i cant remember hoo. but there`s a protege supercharger out there, that one wont work?

SuperMattyP or something like that was his name before he was banned on here. He got about 160whp nonintercooled. It forces a removal of the A/C... well his did because it wasn't a roots intercooler.

I rahter get the roots type one and keep the a/c like the one from Taiwan it bolts to the intake side of the head!

 

[Lord_Zath]

The s/c that matty was developing (The WOMP) required the AC to be removed.

There are others that don't.

To put the Mazda in Switzerland "rumours" to rest. Email from info@mazda.ch, Monday, 5/7/2007, on my inquiry per the same:


Dear Dimitrios,

Yes, the US Protg was the 323F in Europe and Familia in Asia.

Concerning supercharger for this model, it is true that a supercharger version was developed by an independent Swiss tuner for the 2.0 engine and that a few cars were converted by customers. To our knowledge, this was no kit, but a modification done by the tuner. This was no official version sold by Mazda (Suisse). Still to our knowledge, the tuner is no longer converting 323's.

With best regards

that's the same guy that was developing the WOMP kit, no idea what the status of that is now, I stopped watching a while back

 

[aMaff]

Unfortunately, that project's been dead for a while. That's MattyPs ride.

 

[Lord_Zath]

yup it's dead.

They're the OEM; it's not like they're going to keep track of every modifier/tuner out there, much less support it, even further less provide hard tech data.

I agree on which Swiss Tuner; I'll shoot them another email.

That'd be like saying Chevy would have fully supported Yanko modifieds with a warranty and performance numbers.

So, I get a random email today in reply to my 4 week old reply where they stated it was a turbocharger in lieu of a supercharger.

That said:

Dear Mr. Saranteas,

You are indeed correct, it was a supercharger. We did ask some dealers who had cars transformed for their customers at the time. It appears that, according to their testimony 12 cars were transformed, of which, still according to the dealers, more than half experienced technical problems.

The firm offering the kit and transformation was Wittwer Motorsport in Arbon (Switzerland).

Since it's a long time ago, we don't know if it still is available.

We hope this answers your question

Now, doing a quick Google yield mostly two relevant links:

Further down the Google results:

Wittwer Motorsport in Arbon entwickelte und vertreibt einen Kompressorkitsatz fr den Mazda 323F und den Mazda 6, unter Verwendung des Z-Engineering Kompressor ZR2. Wittwer vertreibt ebenfalls unseren Kitsatz fr den Mazda MX5

(Translation from German [edited for grammar/paraphrasing]:

Wittwer Motorsport in Arbon have developed and a compressor kit set out for the Mazda 323F and the Mazda 6, using Z-Engineering compressor ZR2.
Wittwer is developing a kit for the Mazda MX5 using our product.

Therefore, this assumes that Z Engineering provided Wittwer with the compressor and/or other technology to develop the kit [for the 323/323F].

Going to Z Engineering's page (in German) would then prompt the user for the English speaking brethren amongst us:

http://www.z-engineering.com/engl/Index_en.htm:

Dear customer,

Thank you for your interest in our products!

From now on, MC Racing is the responsible distributor of our supercharger products into all "english speaking countries".

Please visit the Homepage of MC Racing for further informations"

The MC Racing URL yields this page, which is all VW it would seem:
http://www.supercharger.ch

Trying to get more information the Ruf Kompressor in Google (and Mazda):
http://www.google.com/search?q=Ruf+Kompressor+mazda&btnG=Search&hl

So I sent an email to MC Racing (forwarded my Mazda Switzerland email to them along with a link to this thread). Their reply:

hello dimitrios

mc racing did never suppy superchargers for the mazda 323/protege model.
we had kits for the mx-5 model (nb-model) several years ago.

we will shortly bring back the superchargerkit for the mazda mx-5 (nb model) as a summer revival.

i want to state clear that we do not have anything to do with the mentioned tuner stated in the e-mail of mazda switzerland.
we do not have any relationship with wittwer motorsport.

our supercharger systems have to successfuly prove a test of quality on different cars before we do release them.

kind regards,

That's all kids!!!

WOMP luv fo'evah
