there is no turbo kit made for our car but if you have the 94/95 dohc 1.6 you can take the turbo and manifold off the 88/89 323 gtr and the early 90's capri but piping and intercooler will be custom.. i'm currently waiting for responses in forced induction section on what all i can salvage from the other cars. if you have the 92/93 sohc i'm not sure what you need for turbo

There was a company that was developing a Turbo kit for the SOHC.
I cant remember the name-- but use the SEARCH function and it should come up.

I am telling you man-- not even 1 year ago-- they were developing this thing.
And for xXx-- just PM Jarid and Ask him-- is it that difficult??

to clear up something the turbo manifold and turbo from the b6t is called a gtx not a gtr as there was never a gtr anything in america. just a gtx. the gtr is the off the 1.8 bpt and was never sent here.

hey, i live in san antonio tx ( close to racing mazda) and i actually know the guy that owns it. his name is rick. he has like the fastest miata or something. he was gonna turbocharge my car but it was just way too much. i have a sohc. anyways, i've actully driven the turbo sohc that he has and man that thing is quick. it's just too expensive. i would rather drop in a b6t or something. anyways, here's the number for racing mazda: (210) 655-8080 if you call, ask for rick and say that luis told you to call

if you put the 1.8gtx turbo and exhaust manifold on the 1.6dohc, will it work like a bolt on??? forget the custom piping,what I want to know is about timing and fuel, and will the pistons take the pressure on a modest boost?? because mine is driven every day.
