NOW SPONSORED BY MAZDA3MODS.COM!! GIVE THEM A CALL FOR ANY MAZDA PART YOU NEED!! IF YOU WANT IT, THEY HAVE IT!!

AND COME ON, YOU CAN AT LEAST GIVE ME FIVE STARS ON PERFORMANCE!!

UPDATE:

The motor has been rebuilt and the car is now running with an entirely different setup because most of the parts that came with the HiBoost kit had already failed. I now have a 54 trim Borg Warner T3/T4 polished turbo, PCS XFC for fuel management, Wiseco Pistons, Eagle Rods, Exedy Stage 1 Racing Clutch Kit, TurboSmart Vee Port BOV and a bunch of other little meaningless stuff.

Here are the pictures of the completed project.

I have this short, super crappy, super low quality video of the car from when we first got it driving (BOV is way fluttery, I know). Enjoy!

VIDEO!!

Here is the new block before it was installed:

I REALLY need to thank Dee at Reactive Racing for all of the help that he gave me on this project. There is no way I could have figured out everything that was wrong with the HiBoost kit without his help. Both he and his buddy Russ (who runs PCS) are great guys that know more than any one probably should about the Mazda 3. Check out their sites for more info:

The car runs astonishingly well with the XFC in there. I couldn't be happier. The only problem is that is still want more. Haha... I have been spoiled to high horse power. The plan is to start with porting the exhaust manifold, get a 3" Trubends exhaust, 3" downpipe (all of this to replace the 2.5" custom setup that I have now) and get the PCS inline fuel pump kit for better fuel delivery. I will be able to put down a solid 380-420 by then. The only problem is that I will be needing some new gears and a limited slip for that kind of power. It'll happen! =)

UPDATE: New fuel pump installed. I'm now pushing 14 pounds of boost and somewhere north of 300 hp. It makes me happy inside
