supercharger for mazda3

[DE31]

Unless the officer who pulls you over is a ASE certified D.O.T officer, he can not ticket you for engine mods because he has no idea what is and what is not stock, let alone, CARB exemption. If they ask you to pop the hood, refuse if they cant provide proof of ASE and DOT. We do this here in CA. Only with CHP with blue jumpsuits can inspect your engine for mods and even they dont know what the hell is legal.

i wasnt paying attention much from what he was saying but he did mention the officer called in an "expert"

The super charger in that pic is in a strange spot. Why wouldn't they just move the s/c closer to the real engine?

It seems like they went out of their way to move it over when they could have made the lines go straight up. I must be missing something...like how it fits in the engine bay?

o thats cuz that motor is off the 2.3 ford focus motor, their the opposite of ours where our intake mani. is on the front and headers on the back, theirs is the other way around

The ms3 engine is NOT from a focus. The Ford's Duratec 23 is based on Mazda designed MZR.

im not talking bout the ms3 just 3's in general. actually the its the other way around the duratec isnt based on the mzr, the mzr is based from the duratec. the duratec 2.3 came out on the focus st which only came 4dr, before mazda3 came out

All I can say about what happened to this poor thread is WOW.

Sorry dark, but you are wrong. Ford dropped their zetec engine for the Mazda designed MZR and called it Duratec.

And Focus ST had a modified Zetec-E engine, not a Duratec23.

wow... just wow... at least the thread didn't evolve into a name calling mess... if you can't say anything relevant to a SC on a mazda 3 then just leave the thread alone, if you want to discuss the origins of a mzr engine do a search there are probably 50 threads on it... if you want to discuss the sc vs turbo thing there are probably 100's of threads about that so do a search and jump into the discussion...


thank you come again
