Scoobs Build Thread
- Thread starter scoobs
- Start date
Mounting points are the same, almost too easy
Some lil issues but nothing too hard to resolve.Look, this is a Rally car FWD with a 2.0l under the hood
Oh god the temptation maybe next summer I look forward to your updates
Next summer you will see wheels, dampers, skid plate, Hella Black Magic 500 driving lamps and CBE + race pipe.
Summer 2015 is when I can start thinking of swapping the 1.5l for a 2.0l....
1st year
-Will be to get a used Mazda3 and remove all I need from the car
-Get the parts and rebuild the engine
2nd year
-Finding a solution for the transmission, LSD + Rebuilding the Mazda3 unit or
-Finding a Mazdaspeed3 transmission
-Getting it in the Mazda2...
Or, I save money and get a mazdaspeed 3 3rd gen
This is why I sold my Speed3, I found the 2 more fun and a lil more power would make it perfect. Speed3 big problem is the fact it's FWD, an AWD Speed3 with a rear diff set up like the EVO X would make it the best sport compact on the market.

So stoked to see what this build is going to come to, keep it up! i cant touch my 2 until fall 2015, so im living vicariously through everyone else on the forums... great work sir!!
I got a friend who really want to tackle a turbo solution to my MZR1.5l. We will look into this soon but I still think the NA 2.0l MZR is a better option for the 2.
Also I'm thinking of getting a bike soon, this may affect my build a bit. To be smart and save my money I should build the 2 and forget the bike lol but I want it all.
I may buy a Honda Grom 125 or the new 2014 CBR300R in 2015 to play around a bit

Tried to get a Cosworth cross flow for my MGB back 20 years ago and they were still $3,000. and that was for the tractor designed Kent motor. I think you are still better off going the turbo route. Think about the grip level available for XXX Hp for your build...Even if you can get 220hp out of a swap, how much usable HP will get to the pavement and NOT go up in smoke? Unless you can get/design a great TCS module or put an LSD in the car, anything over 150wHP is going to be wasted.
Small turbo, add 50hp , put in the LSD and get it as light as you can stand to drive it. Hell of a lot less work then trying to mate and configure 2 different PCM and harnesses, and rework the front subframe to fit the monster in there.

I just saw this and it made me dream a bit lol
But a small turbo would be cool also, I need to find rods, pistons (9:1 compression would be perfect for low boost), injectors and a tune...
LSD is a must for the 2

If you're going to buy a turbo kit and run low boost 10:1 is perfect. I wouldn't lower the compression for low boost with a small turbo.
Ok, I'm going to build a 2.0l MZR for the 2. The swap will give the power the 2 needs, about 200hp. I got a pm from At Power about their intake and tuning solution and I found almost all the parts for the build.

This is going to be epic! I love the MZR's especially with ITB set ups.
So, are you using the Mazda 2 tranny still?

If it bolts on I will, the torque wont be too high and I found a LSD for the 2's transmission. I found a stronger clutch/pressure plate also.
This build will take a while, I will focus on the 1.5l and swap over my girlfriend's car when I'll have the engine ready to put in. The beauty of having 2 Mazda2's is that parts don't get wasted, they get swapped to the next car lol
I'm wondering about the CS b-spec race car, what they are using for suspension parts/ set-up?

If its a "legal" car, which I think it is...They can only run the approved Mazda Speed kit available only from Mazda (or Tripoint). Although there are 2 versions, but I believe they use the same struts, just different spring rates and sizes.
