Going Turbo
hi! I'm from the philippines and im new here. I recently ordered a Mazda 3 Hatch with the MZR 1.6 liter engine. (we don't have the 2.0 liter version of the hatch here.) I've been thinking of going turbo with this car...
is it a good idea? i heard i will have problems with the ECU if i go turbo... and how will the engine internals take the boosting? has anyone done this before or is in the process of doing this project? thanks!! |
Are there any turbo kits over there for that engine? I'm new to the Mazda scene, so I don't know how much power the bottom end can take, let alone on foreign engines. If you get a turbo kit, make sure to get one with a reprogrammed ECU with a turbo air-fuel ratio map (or buy one separately). You can usually get about 80% more power out of an engine with boost if it's done properly before you have to worry about engine failure. If you get a good reprogrammed ECU and your engine's compression is 9.0:1 or less, you shouldn't have any worries. Just make sure to get an Air/fuel ratio gague and keep an eye on it to ensure you never run lean. Hope this helps!
