Hey Donald, where did you get the stuff for your car? I am really interested in making my 1994 4 cylinder 1.6L engine. THanks, Chris

IM with him...im looking to add a turbo to my car, and doing 0-60 in 7.1 sounds awesome.

Are you serious, it cost 600$ for the turbo and everything related to it?<P>------------------<BR>Brainless<BR>93 Red RS<BR><A HREF="http://www.Geocities.com/j_micho" TARGET=_blank>geocities.com/j_micho</A>

8.5psi is a good boost level for the street. 132mph is about what a Stock GS will run. Sounds like you got a nice mid 15 second car there. <P>------------------<BR>David Coleman- <B><I>Moderator</B></I><BR><A HREF="http://www.PinkMX-3.com" TARGET=_blank>1993 Mazda MX-3 GS Special Edition</A><BR><B><I>Why get clear tail lights when only Geo Metros are gonna see them?</I></B>

This is for David, or any one else. BTW it's not a mx-3 question but a more general one. I want a really fast street car and I don't care about getting the most HP or the fastest drag times, but I want it to be very responsive and have good power throughout the powerband. Would you recomend getting a supercharger ( Roots type ) as opposed to a mid-sized turbo. Keep in mind that it is almost solely for street driving.

Though this is off topic...I'd recommend a small turbo at low boost levels.<P>Roots blowers are grossly ineffecient. <P>Roots blower on a Civic Si=~60hp+ over stock<BR>Centrifugal SC on a Civic SI =~110hp+ over stock.<P>Turbo would be even more with more drivability, as you would have some turbo lag, which is a good free traction control on FWD cars that struggle getting low end torque to the ground anyways. Plus, with a Turbo, you get near stock MPG while cruising/light load, as no boost is being made. Unlike a SC, where boost is a function of RPM.<P>------------------<BR>David Coleman- <B><I>Moderator</B></I><BR><A HREF="http://www.PinkMX-3.com" TARGET=_blank>1993 Mazda MX-3 GS Special Edition</A><BR><B><I>Why get clear tail lights when only Geo Metros are gonna see them?</I></B>

Thanks man. I never thought about the traction issue, that's true. I ordered Maximum Boost on your recommendation, I'm hoping to learn a lot from it.

Did you put the turbo on yourself, cause i just talked to a guy that does that stuff and he said it would be around 2 to 3k to buy one and then have it put on. I wish i could do this myself, anyone know where you can get the resources to guide through installing a turbo??<BR>thankz again

I would be very interested in finding a turbo kit for $600 USDollars. Let me know where you got it from.

Question 0n turbo,I just went to a shop to ask about an engine,and he said,"lets just put 25 pounds of NOS.Isnt that alot and will it blow my engine quick?

There is NO 16V 1.6L GS, thats an RS.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Donald2k:<BR><B><BR>hey guys<P>I just bought my MAZDA MX-3 GS 1.6L 16v 98(Red color)last year and I love this car.

i got a US2k to 3k estimate for turbo too, and it was only supposed to give me like 32 horses... now i got a NOS tank in the hatch and it works wonders against civics, preludes, and eclipses/talons<BR>the whole kit was 525 bucks installed<P>if u get it set up to engage at full throttle, i think its a much better value then a supercharger or a turbo... recommend it to anyone

Hmm.....this is a 4cyl performance post methinks...<P><I>Post moved to 4cyl perf/tech Forum</I><P>------------------<BR>David Coleman- <B><I>Moderator</B></I><BR><A HREF="http://www.PinkMX-3.com" TARGET=_blank>1993 Mazda MX-3 GS Special Edition</A><BR><B><I>Why get clear tail lights when only Geo Metros are gonna see them?</I></B>
