@@kingofpilgrims368 honestly I love the platform of the 3 really cool body style the only problem is the 2.5 motor itself.. it's just not good to boost. Part availability for the engine components is pretty minimalistic compared to something like a Honda motor... I'm going to be custom fabricating a Mazda 3 inspired tubular chassis and I'm not 100% sure on what kind of motor I want to put in it but it won't be the 2.5... my buddy spent $4,000 to get his motor built by Ford performance and only ended up making 60 more horsepower...

@@afx31_ awesome! I went through a remote tuner to tune the ECU via mazdaedit. You're correct about the DISI ECU, it would not work without transferring pretty much everything out of a speed which is not worth the trouble imo(the stock 2.5 ECU works just fine for lower boost and for high boost you could use a standalone if it was necessary(a standalone would be much cheaper and easier than a full DISI swap)).

[@ericbeltrami2718]

Project Chimera; 1992 Mazda MX3 gs, Mazdaspeed 6 transmission, custom Drive shaft, rear diff with rear subframe and components from 1988 Mazda 323 gtx, the V8 out of the 1999 Ford Taurus SHO 3.4 l quad cam 32 valve V8. At the bare minimal I could make it front wheel drive with either the five-speed or 6-speed since from what I understand it will bolt up to those Transmissions along with the mtx75 out of the Contour. You can also do something crazy and use the mtx75 Contours differential which is a 4.06 to one final drive instead of the 3.6. Due to the drivetrain using shift cables I might be able to fit the drive shaft between the Center tunnel of the car. The electronic limited slip uses a 5 volt signal which I think could be regulated with a adjustable 5 volt signal hooked up to a map sensor on the engine. Madness I tell you! Madness! By the way the car I want to fix up looks like the one in my profile pic but has orange racing stripes. Like Speed Racer. Was supposed to be 24 lemons racer but I rescued it before they could put a roll cage in it. Lol.

[@Noelsterrr]

Honestly you don't even need a 2.3 mzr for the 2.5 swap. As a whole, the 2.5 duratec is capable of handling a turbo and as much as 500hp; unless you're running an automatic transmission, I wouldn't push too far past 350hp. - You'll need to tap into the oil pan (as high up and to the left of the drain plug as possible, clearance issues in oil pan right side) for the oil drain, install an oil cooler sandwich plate for turbo oil feed. - Install an aftermarket pcv plate along with a good quality baffled catch can (no eBay cheapies or you'll be leaking oil everywhere) in most cases you don't need a vented can unless you're pushing 350hp or more. - Purchase a Mazdaspeed 6/3 turbo exhaust manifold/downpipe. If you don't have the hood clearance like with the speeds, you can run the turbo intercooler feed underneath the motor like Ford does with newer vehicles. The top mount still looks sick if you can get it to fit but running underneath will increase thermal efficiency. - Whichever route you go, I recommend wrapping all of the intake/intercooler piping with gold reflective tape because it reflects up to 75% of ambient heat, keeping your intake/engine temps down. - You will need an mzr cylinder head to run direct injection, this may require an mzr 2.3 oil pan, valve cover and intake manifold. - I recommend port injection because it's more efficient, reliable and cheaper if you don't already have the 2.3 donor parts. - Most importantly, check out car-part.com before going to whatever scrap yard to buy your 2.5, I had a yard quote me $500 bucks for a full 2.5 assembly but I found mine for $175 on the website listed above. Good luck y'all and have fun with it! Any questions? Leave a reply, I'm currently in the middle of swapping my 1st Gen Speed 6 so I'm always here to help.

I know this is a 3 year old post, but what I'm curious mostly about is the tuning. I tune a lot of GM stuff using HP Tuners. I have an 06 Mazda 6 with a 2.3L and 5 speed trans. I'm very capable of building a turbo setup for the engine and i was thinking of running 5 or 6psi of boost, but my biggest obstacle is tuning. HP tuners does not support the 06 naturally aspirated ECM. I'm sure there are other tuning platforms that can, or maybe it's even possible for me to switch the ECM out to an 07 or 08 year. Not sure yet. So how did you go about getting it tuned? There's no way in hell i would even consider running it without a tune lol

How did he save some cash? The mazdaspeed3 in the background cost the other guy $5k, and puts down 260whp factory stock. The one he built with $10k canadian puts down about the same, 260-270whp. Get a mazdaspeed cold air intake from the dealer, and the mazdaspeed3 makes another 20whp, totaly of 280whp. I have both a mazdaspeed3 and a cold air intake, which is what the guy basically built for $10k, twice the money. Do it for the fun of it, not for the money.

[@ColtonRichter]

Incorrect, let me rephrase this: My MazdaSpeed 3 in the background cost me $5,000, 158,000km. Stupid deal, haven't seen a cheap one like this forever. This entire build that Arseny did cost $5-6k and he's got a motor with 40,000km on it a brand new turbo kit. By the way, throw some HPFP in your Speed 3 or it's going to ZZB with your intake 🙃

[@copperkeyracing6167]

​@@ColtonRichter Stock block and stock turbo mazdaspeed3 can do 400whp with bolt-ons and tune, I've proven it time and time again by tuning my mazdaspeed3 customers. A cold air intake is only 8% more power than the factory, which the factory knows, and designed the cold air intake and the fuel pump [and fuel pump internals] to handle that little bit more of power. The stock mazdaspeed3 fuel pump is maxxed out at 280whp, nothing less and nothing more. If you want a mazdaspeed3 completely stock, never modded, with 120k miles or less, I'll sell you one for $7k USD, as I buy and sell them. I have 3 to sell currently. As I said, turbo your 1st gen standard Mazda 3 "for the fun of it, not for the money" or as you said, 19:21, "either do this for $6, $5 grand canadian or you do what i did and buy that for $5 grand canadian." Hit me up when you need a tune, but that ebay turbo will never do 400whp, nor will most of that setup (factory clutch, factory injectors, factory fuel pump, factory stock block standard mazda3 engine, factory standard mazda3 transmission 5:58, factory brakes, ebay turbo) in the video. An engine+transmission swap and a turbo kit will never be the same as an actually mazdaspeed3, but dare to dream, and enjoy that you did it yourself. Built, not bought.

I have a 2010 Mazda 3 Hatch 2.5L stock with a K&N intake. What could I do to boost power besides a tune?

[@ColtonRichter]

Not much, would be more value into putting a turbo into it then spending money into things that wouldn't give you much from the start

Get a manual, that's your first step for more torque. Other than that, get something faster.

This is pretty cool and unique I must say! I have a Mazda 6 GH wagon 2011 which I was thinking of boosting as well for the fun of it, already a 2.5L... And now I've seen this vid. I just had 2 queries, is the log manifold for a speed3 BK or BL ? And what happened in regards to the ECU all I heard was stock, hows he controlling the boost etc. Cheers!

Stock fuel injectors on a turbo?

[@project2ndgenspeed672]

You need to upgrade them.

[@jungeezy]

Depending on the psi you’re pushing you’ll need to upgrade them a good amount. I read some members are using 2000cc injectors to push 16+psi

[@project2ndgenspeed672]

@@jungeezy for the 2.5 550cc injectors are more than enough for the stock block. 1000-2000cc would be for much more power, like more power than the stock 2.5 sleeves can handle. I know of maybe 1 or 2 people with that much power.

I’ve got a 2014 Mazda 3 sp with a stock 2.5l 5 cylinder producing 185. The car’s bone stock but was thinking of paying someone to slap a turbo on her. What do you recommend doing first so she’ll be able to handle the power?

It`ll handle it, if it`s a manual. Check up on some forums, it's a heavily supported topic.

@@reinelcampa7871 what do you mean with turbocharged ready? I own a 2018 2.5 GT and it's not turboed from factory. Do you mean that it comes ready for turbo from factory?

[@SailingFrolic]

@@ColtonRichter Yes! In fact, I inquired the dealership what would the process be to get a quote for installation of those parts. They haven't a clue themselves. Yes, Mazda makes them, but with a variable pressure turbo that has a relief valve in the turbo inlet at low RPM to stifle airflow (and thus reduce overboost and lag at low speeds). Unless I source one of those from a wrecked Mazda as well as necessary wiring and electronics, it will be damn near impossible to replicate a 2.5T setup in my 3. It's kinda complex, but I'd love to be the first to get it done.
