What model do you have? DX/LX or a GT?

2.2Mazda2.2 · 1-11-08, 20:38

i have a dx

**maffatato15** · 1-11-08, 21:10

for a dx there isnt much you can do.

Exhaust and headers
plug wires
intake

possibly a few other items but you arent gonna see huge hp gains

If you have a manual trans and are willing to use premium fuel, you could entertain the thought of nitrous, but that's it short of swapping an F2T or FE3 in.

you could do a full GT swap minus the engine. It would take a little time and money but it would be the best bang for the buck. Also, you might need the tranny because the N/A manual tranny might not last too long. I have had my n/a car turboed for about 6 months now and it handles 7-10 psi fine so far.

what is so diffrent about my motor and the other ones and would it be a good idea to turbo my car

You can turbo your car. Many people have turboed a F2 sucessfully. The problem is they get greedy. They turn up the boost too much, too fast, and the engine blows.

The key is not being *too* greedy

Keep it under 10 psi.
Get a rising rate FMU.
Get a intercooler.
Run Premium (92+ Octane)
Have fun.

Don't buy headers if you are going turbo.

If you aren't going turbo, get headers and an exhaust. Don't change the intake.

Go nitrous, more bang for your buck than a Turbo.
