kl03 is klde and it's 160 hp

actually, if you head over to racingmazda.com, they have a stage 1 turbo kit, though I'm kinda sure it's only for the stock 4 cylinder.

KJS Miller Cycle 2.3L - 210 HP
KL-ZE 2.5L 200 HP
KL-DE 2.5L (KL03) - 160 HP
KF-ZE 2.0L 170 HP
K8-ZE 1.8L - 140 HP
K8-DE 1.8L (stock in our MX) - 130 HP

thats all the K series motors and their outputs

if i remember correctly batosi(sp?) is boosting his klde or kl08, the stock 1.8v6 you should get in contact with him. and mazdamaniac boosted his 2.5v6 and put down a good amount of hp, like 320 something. hope thats helpful

[Spydie]

Jeffs (mazdamaniac) was 295hp last I read

[monty73741]

well i was wrong about the HP of the v6 engines....
but there are not actuall kits for the v6

[alibath]

i have some good news for you if you want a turbo kit for your v6 check this web page out the guy makes twin turbo kits and normal kits wont be cheap thou but thought it would help you. Plus i dont think there is ant room in your engine bay for it either

don`t know if they are right though...

Ok I have one thing to add about the TKT turbos, if you head over to probetalk.com in the forced induction section he defends his reputation by saying that most kits that are sold under is name are not made by him. He made the orignal design, but it was taken and copied then resold. Which makes me kinda believe hm know that i see that website someone posted above, because if you head to his company site it cleary says that he no longer sells turbo kits. boosthead.com Actually he said in the thread he has been particpating in on PT that he has not sold turbo kits since 2000. Also a lot of people have actually come out in his defense which is usually contrary to what happens to him most of the time So before anyone goes out to buy a turbo kit from the site above I would give TKT a call first to make sure they arent getting a replica kit that is cheap quality.

Just trying to make sure no body drops three grand on a ripoff kit.

anyway what i have read about his kits is that they are manifold & turbo rest is up to you...in my opinion they are not a turbo "kit"

Looks pretty cool. But then again, I could do an engine swap for less. Not sure what would be best.

I got my car at racing mazda and it has been there for a little while now. Ric is pushing it to 15 PSI on stock internals just by tuning. I have seen his kits and they look really good.
