Factory turbo pro before mazspd?
Has there ever been a factory turbo protege before the Mazdaspeed? I would find it hard to believe a company that has used turbos on RX-7's wouldn't at least experiment with a short production run.. thanks

Yes they sold 323 gt-x models here with a 1.6l BP engine and factory turbo, like 130-140hp i think
They had the turbo mx-6 2.2l turbo
They had the turbo 626 2.2l turbo
in japan they have lots, they now are thinking of a turbo 2.3l Mazdaspeed 6

Hey thanks for the info! I was thinking about buying one if I could find one for a pretty good price maybe about 800 to 1000 and fixing it up! I might pursue that and make it my project and hopefully have it in some kind of a magazine some day.

I remember a few years ago (and the protegetech website has info on it I believe) Mazda and HKS built a 3rd gen turbocharged protege. It was red, they only built one, and it had around 200bhp from the 1.8L HKS turbocharged FS engine. It had a body kit also, with Racing Hart 17" wheels, but looked very different than a MP3 or Mazdaspeed appearence wise. I will try to find the old Road and Track that had a write up on it in the Ampersand section...
I do realize that you can't buy this one, but was just pointing out that Mazda did experiment with turbo'ing the 3rd gen not long after it was introduced..
