ehh yes and no. If you were to go with a stock frame style turbo then I would definitely stay with that. around $2000 is great for what you get with vargas but for the $3500-$5000 kits and over? that's a bold move cotton. I'm wrapping up parts and all the custom work now and came in at under...

Well ill give this until the end of the month to make a final verdict on weather to go through making more of these or not for people. First turbo manifold available to buy separately so kinda surprised no one want to build their own turbo setup.

haha about 3 months. had a rough draft made out of the oem and t3 flange to figure out spacing and dimensions then a cad file made to get the taper right, model 3d printed then finally a billet piece made after all of the tooling was figured out.

Hopefully try and get them for the $500-$700 range.

So i have some news that may interest some people on here... Me and my friend that runs a shop designed a t3 single scroll adapter manifold out of billet steel for my big turbo build. It took a while to design the taper to make it as smooth as possible but its one hell of a piece! The turbo i...

catch cans are like birth control. Sure you can run no catch can, its how oem cars are made and is natural but do you trust your pullout game that much? catch cans are the pill. not perfect but damn near when you know what you're doing. Then venting to atmosphere is like getting snipped, might...

I have been running a vented system for 10k miles with no smell/spray. gutted stock pcv, removed valvecover hose, ran hoses from valve cover and pcv to input of a catchcan, capped the vacuum ports and put a universal K&N breather on the output of the catchcan then had the code cleared for pcv...

I was really hoping my huoney badger idea was gonna take off in the old thread :( but i would buy that red turbo emblem

in this platform the intercooler is below the radiator. a thicker/wider intercooler would be parallel with the bottom of the radiator. a if anything shouldnt a taller one obstuct flow? Not sure if there was a confusion on the platform but to me doesnt make sense since all of the thicker stock...

honestly, Unless your hitting crazy temps or curcuit racing i wouldnt do an oil cooler. In my opinion, 210-220 is prime. heck, i believe even chevy is now stating 240deg to be their prime oil temp. either way, cold oil (under 200F) is bad oil performance wise. Its extra load on every moving part...

http://www.racerpartswholesale.com/product/13462/Sandwich_Plates#reviews good place to start. Not sure the exact threads for the engine but they have a good selection of plates, that the hardest part of building a custom oil cooler. grab one with or without a tstat, find a heat exchanger you...

Stock intercooler is fine for stock engine and cruising with the every now and then pulls but would definately upgrade if you drive hard or plan on tuning. A catless downpipe would lower underhood temps slightly, gain a little power as well as raise boost a little. The Cpe unit is very nice and...

By "slight" I meant natural changes through the lifecycle of an engine platform. Do your research and you'll see that Mazda L-series (1.8-2.5) all start in life as the same exact block just different bore machined out or crank to get the displacement. This block has been adopted by the mzr...

Let me direct you to a quote straight from Wikipedia. "An award-winning turbocharged version of the 2.3 with direct injection spark ignition, or "DISI" is also produced. It develops 263 hp (196 kW) @5,500 rpms and 280 lb·ft (380 N·m) @3,000 rpms and is capable of propelling the Mazdaspeed3...

Turbo blankets will help keep engine bay temps down but KEEP the turbine housing heat soaked (not a bad thing, keeps the gasses hot so they will flow faster). on the other hand ceramic coating the turbine housing inside and outside will have better results and wouldn't cost as much as having a...

Would be a lot of money for a small increase. Way better off with a kit for our car unless someone starts selling an adapter flange and you got a good deal on a turbo.

I have some pictures but i dont know how to post. Ive tried with my custom 3" single exit exhaust with no luck. Basically yes itll need an adapter obviously but thats the only hard part to this and any turbo swap on this platform. I posted a little while back about the iat sensor bung because im...

Damn someone found out my plans!!! I have an hx35 8 blade ready to mock up to see if itll even fit. From the looks it and from other car its a great turbo for people like me that enjoy big turbos. It is not for the majority on here that want quick spooling instant power. The foxbody 2.3 guys...

Thank you! Unfortunately it looks like the link was for pre 2015 focus which use bolt in style sensor like the MAP. Good site though so thank you.
