Roddimus Prime

We alraedy got our brand new Mazda3 to start the new project.

We will have a complete turbo kit available by February 2005. It will be a very good quality kit with a one year warranty and lifetime in all castings like piping, manifold, downpipe and intercooler.

The kit will have all parts and components to bolt it on and writen instructions as well as digital video of the install process.

We are also expanding to have an install shop in Miami and distributors in California, Texas and Florida to cover most of the US market form those three locations.

We have our own car to do all tests, taking it to the limit as we did with the P5, and offer a proven product not a customer's car in which you are limited to a few days.

The kit will have:

Cast iron Manifold
Ball Bearing turbo
Cast iron downpipe
Front mounted intercooler
Powder coated piping
Stainless steel braided oil lines
Silicone hoses
Stainless steel hardware
Haltech ECU Pre mapped and pre wired
Digital video install process
Intake system with 3 inch open end air filter

If anyone is interested, we already have a long list of people waiting, you can e mail us at info@hiboost.com

The first dyno is already made. The car made 235 WHP at 7 psi of boost. We will try diffrent turbos to see which is the best for the application.

I will keep updated the progress.

thanks for restarting this thread properly! I forgot to do it....

So is this for the 2.0 or the 2.3L 3?
EDIT- and if it's for the 2.3, will it work with the hatch?

macdaddyslomo

2.3L is a 2.3L...why would it matter whether it has a hatch or a trunk ??

FC3s Boy

group buy anyone..???

Bluehatch32

Only because mazda made a different frame for the two cars. Just to check to make sure that it would be compatible. The hatch and sedan don't share a single part on the outside except I think the mirrors.

macdaddyslomo

are you joking ?? there arent 2 different frames for the 3,

thats a good one though

Roddimus Prime

he was just asking just in case...it's not uncommon though for maufacturers to do something similar to this. Sometimes it's easier to modify the frame/chasis than it is to work within the confines of one set space.

macdaddyslomo

That doesnt sound like he is asking....sounds like he is telling me Mazda made a different chassis for the Hatch,and that all the sheet metal is different also..that simply isnt true...I know this for a fact. The 3 Hatch is exactly like the P5 as far as differences between the hatch and sedan...they simply made the sedan into a 5 door hatch..the only differences are the sheet metal from the rear door back. Making different sheet metal and chassis with the same model is WAY too expensive

Bluehatch32

Let me clarify, http://www.automobiles.com/review_desc.asp?c=551&t=best if you scroll down to the walkaround you will find out what Im talknig about. Because they don't share any body panels I did not know if they shared their frame either, which then lead me to make sure that the turbo would work for both.

Roddimus Prime

long story short the engine compartments are the same and that's all that matters.

Bluehatch32

That's all I wanted to know. Thanks.

back to the original question will this turbo work with the 2.0 or not??

Roddimus Prime

it's not known 100% yet. The motors are very similar but that's not the only factor. With time and testing we'll know.

corey G

are there any other turbos out there for the 2.0 3 yet?
