Wanted to see 500 WHP Mazdas? HiBoost Mazda 3 makes 496 at 20 psi

Just do it trannies are the same. You can just bolt one up (possibly with custom motor mounts) do a standalone ecu and your home.

no, trannys are not the same
 
I keep posting about the potential of the 2.3 and HiBoost only confirms those claims!

Well done Juan! (thumb) keep us updated!
 
So this was with fuel only,no timing control?? WOW,those motors are the s***. I might have to boost the wife's 3.

Look up the autos. ITs the same auto tranny, FN4A-EL. So at least the autos will bolt with up. Now follow my reasoning here, if both engines use the same auto tranny, and the auto and manual engines are the same. There too for the engines should also be swapable between the manuals.

NOw all it needs is a super charger to bring up the lowend, and youd have a beast. Im really impressed at the potnetial of these motors. Nice one Juan.

they use the same case(but prob not same bolt pattern to bolt up to engine cause totally diff engines). read closer on manuals. one is rod actuated and another is cable. there are other changes inside. I get what you are saying, but I hope you or others wont think this will be a direct swap, either for manual or autos(autos especially cause of ECU).
 
...... that's not 500whp though..
it's like saying.. "wanted to see a mazda run 11's? we ran 12.09!"

still impressive, but it's a stupid topic imo. good job though. hopefully you'll make 500 next time.

Quit hatin' and start congratulating! (gtfo)
 
Just lose the exhaust and you got your 500whp goal. You just had to sneeze and you had it. Keep up the good work.
 
If that was on the stock motor I was literally going to jump out of my seat and start dancing.

Still completely insane though Juan, absolutely great results. Thanks for continuing to run blindly into the dark and pushing the new gen of Mazdas to their limits.

Just out of curiosity, how much hp can the stock 3 internals take? I know they are immesurably better than the FS rods, but has anyone pushed a lot of power on the stockers?
