Check out boosthead.com The owner Thomas Knight specializes in custom turbos and says he has made several for the 1.6L. If you have the cash, he can make you a full system. Just e-mail him off his web site. Let me know how it goes.<P>

if you have an auto.. might as well not even try unless you plan a tranny swap.<BR><P>------------------<BR>Barry Clark<BR><I><B>Moderator</B></I><BR>1995 Mazda Mx-3 RS<BR>Chaste White<BR><A HREF="http://www.barrykclark.com" TARGET=_blank>barrykclark.com</A> <BR> custommx3@usa.net

That's a good point... I've never seen a "Boosthead Turbo 4-banger" But he told me also that he has done the mod to several RS's. Maybe we can get him to post some pics on his site...<P>

...because if us owners of boosted MX3's slapped a "TURBO" badge or sticker on our cars, we would be constantly hassled by every idiot looking to try you out. At least that is what happened to me. I don't tell anyone about the boost and I put a nice dark grille up front to hide the intercooler.<P>I don't need everyone up my a-- looking to race me.<P>I *really* don't need the cops pulling me over. (Turbo mods are illegal where I am).<P>So, in general, most boost-heads keep a low profile<P>RF

What turbo did you go with? Sorry, if I seemed to come off mean... just interesed in turbocharging...<P>thanks,<P>Jordan<P>

Believe it or not, most Mitubishi Eclipse parts fit in an MX3 1.6. I had a DSM mechanich do my ride with injectors, turbo, IC, piping, HKS wastegate/blowoff, custom manifold, MSD ignition, Fuel pressure reg... In other words, the works.<P>The good thing is that the B6E engine can handle about 80 more horses without internal reinforcement.<P>The limit on boost is about 9-12 psi. I really broke all kinds of s--- in there running the car at 12psi all the time. Stick to no more than 9psi, and everything seems to behave. Including the A/C.<P>BTW: Trade secret - 2nd gen RX7 fuel pump is a bolt-on for MX-3's. Go and get one if you're gonna BOOST!<P>RF<P> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by xeffex:<BR><B>What turbo did you go with?

ok if you want a small turbo that will give you an extra 40 hp , go to a junk yark and find a meckery capri xr-2 or something, they engens are the same size, i put one on mine, i have a 93 1.6 with 88hp stock but i have close to 180 hp now with my mods, you can get it for about 300 dollars. and its worth it. trust me one this one. you will get arround 8-10 lbs of boost. that what the engen will hold. with mods up to 16lbs
