just got this v6 03 mazda 6 6 months ago. fixed it up, now i want to speed. did my research and i still cant find a turbo kit for these cars. some places are saying they have kits, just cant find a way to tune the car. any info? please help me out, because i need an adrenaline rush soon in my life Another thing i couldnt find is how much boost is safe to run on a mazda 6 with 118k miles on it... give me the facts people. thank you

There is no turbo "kit". Everything with the exception of the Nautilus SC kit is a one-off job.

As mentioned above, there are a couple of tuners available to handle the boost but neither of them are plug-n-play....you'll be spending some hours on the dyno getting it all mapped out.

Do you want me to be honest with you? Don't do it...I get the sense that you have no idea what you are getting yourself into.

My sentiments exactly.

i understand you fixed the car up, was that under the hood(headers, intake, etc..), inerior inc electronics, or exterior(wheels, bigger brakes, lowered? if you're trying to go faster, i'd start with headers(msds or cp-e) and intake(cp-e) if you haven't already.

 

[mazdamaniac21]

I just bought the car. then coil packs went bad causing both bank 1 and 2 to go bad, so after i replaced those, headlight went out and had to yank the overflows out to get to the bulbs. car has been nothing but headaches. now its running like it should, i figured id turbo it. You dont think i should do it? im mechanically capable, but time is my issue, i could go find all the piping or custom bend it, and hook up the intercooler and all, but with my work and school schedule, i was just hoping that there was a kit so i didnt need to do all the research and spend all the time. obviously id need it dyno'd. i planned that already, common sense, yaa no? so any more info opinions, or tips, let me no.

 

[Egierda]

Oh jesus. In before the fail.

 

[The Great NY]

no turbo kits so it'd have to be custom. i tuned my car without the use of a dyno, but thats just me, i dont rely on dynos ever. just do some looking around on the forum. im pretty sure you havent or else you wouldve posted in the 10 some odd threads about this subject.

 

[oregonducks]

u have no idea what ur getting urself into...be prepared to dump many many many weekends into this car....if u want a turbo so bad then sell ur car, pay the difference and buy a speed6

 

[bmorrisj]

yup... should of got a speed6 or a more turbo friendly platform

please explain a lil more in detail. the following isnt towards you...



for the 30,000 time if you want to boost the V6...the hardest part about boosting a non turbo car are the manifolds. buy a set of MSDS header manifolds for about $500 (or nautilus) and finish the setup or drop it at a performance shop to finish it. done. if you want them to tune it to. then add that into the cost.

you want to know the reason there is not turbo kits for the V6, because no one wants to buy it. look how long the SC kits been available. how many people brought it after years of begging and pleading for an FI app for the V6? one person.

im gonna sound like a dick here. but everyone says they want power, but no one wants to spend money to make it.

OP...boost your car. its yours and its wat you want. whether you pay someone to do it, or take your time mapping it out and doing it yourself. do what pleases you. and by all means if you want to get a speed 6, do it. but dont do it because everyone basically believes its virtually impossible to do anything with the V6 or because people tell you to do it

+1... Though I can understand a lack of satisfaction with the car's power, I can't understand buying it if power was that important. I drove the 6S before the Speed,
and ended up in the Speed. (even with the twitchy clutch)

Adding some bolt-ons to add a little pep is understandable. Even with the Mazdaspeed6 I question people that want 400+ hp out of it. Wrong platform.

I have to agree with Oregonducks on this... you may have got the wrong car! I don't even want to address torque steer, tuning, time invested, and frustration involved with "big gains" modding a fwd 4dsd. Better off buying a car that is already set up to handle the extra power.

Good luck in your endeavors, if anyone can give you good advise for attaining your goals, it is 'The Great NY'. He's taken the 6S further than anyone I've seen in this forum.

That's because you have the knowledge to do so...and do it properly. Straight up, the OP does not.

 

[The Great NY]

honestly no one knows the OP's capability. considering he only asked if there was a kit for the V6, not how to do it.

hell he couldve designed the mazda 6 for all we know, lol.

 

[Egierda]

I'm basing my evaluation on the terms he has used and the way he has gone about describing his potential journey to turbo his 6. He just doesn't come across as an experienced engine builder...


...shame on me if I'm wrong.

 

[mazdamaniac21]

Sorry for being off here so long. All of you make valid points. And I'm not the guy who wants 400hp out of this car. I want to add horsepower to my mazda because its what i like. This is my first true tuner, but im not a newbie when it comes to building motors. My 2001 s10 with hydraulics runs low 12s on the quarter cosistantly. I took a full winter 2 years ago puting a 350 out of a 74 corvette in it, then rebuilding for performance needs after discovering that 2 heads were cracked. I simply wanted to know, for time saving purposes, if a kit for my mazda was available. since it is not, i will start to order parts and start looking for the piping. no big deal. and i picked up the manifolds about 2 months ago. will keep you all posted. once again, sorry for disappearing. pics will be coming soon, as my mini truck will soon be my temporary daily driver. i love summer weather.....

 

[Mcfly013]

Please keep us posted on your project. A lot of 6s owners would surely appreciate you
sharing your progress. Do you have any ideas with what you're lookin' for as an
"end result"?

Good Luck!

 

[mazdamaniac21]

End result is hopefully to rip the motor apart soon, replace the heads n pistons, throw in an upgraded cam, larger fuel injectors, stronger fuel pump, garrett t3t4 in. one thing i wanted to know, will an evo intercooler clear everything in the front end? or is it a bit to big? reguardless im hoping for about 300/315hp. i round low so i dont get dissappointed. then its all cosmetics from there.

no need for a stronger pump. our pump actually flows plenty of fuel. especially for your goals you posted. there are no cams available. dont waist your time on regrinds. if you are going to do cams. you are going to have to one off the cams which will cost more than boosting the car.

so in essence if there arent cams specifically made for boost for the motor. the stock cams offer the gains.

you can make any intercooler fit if you dont mind cutting things. the evo IC intercooler isnt that big thickness wise. but is a good start. you may as well just get a universal core that has less pressure drop than that. the evo stocker is effecient, but the money u'll spend for it would be better spent on a universal better one.
