    Default Turbo Kit for Mazda3 available

    We have just finished our turbo Kit for the Mazda 3 and will be released by early May 2005.

    The kit did an amazing 290 WHP at 10 psi of boost and with the stock exhaust.

    It is a very complete kit and comes with every bolt and nut to bolt it on.

    Comes with:

    Cast iron manifold
    IHI VF22 turbocharger (ball bearing)
    Downpipe
    Intercooler piping
    Front mounted intercooler
    Greddy Type RS BOV
    Silicone hoses
    Haltech E6X computer
    Oil lines
    etc

    The kit requires no cutting or welding and can be easily installed in one day.

    for any information please e mail us at info@hiboost.com

    The clutch is actually very good. It is holding the 290 pretty well. The kit will be producing aropund 220 and the clutch should be fine for long time.

    It is a kit loaded with good components. It is not cheap, but it is the best for the money.

    The kit is well worth $5,500.00 USD It comes with a Haltech E6X system, IHI Ball bearing turbo, Huge front mounted Spearco intercooler and Greddy Type RS blow off valve.

    Wow, that is a very nice kit, good quality components too. $5,500USD may seem high, but once you start pricing out ball bearing turbo\'s and FMIC\'s, you see that the costs add upin a hurry.

    $5K isn\'t that bad for a turbo... It can be justified for 290 HP.... but with the smaller boost to 200 HP, I don\'t know if it\'s as appealing anymore.

    Just to give some reference....when I had my civic I purchased a turbo kit (GReddy), had a custom FMIC made, and the entire thing ended up costing me about $3000CAD installed, and it netted me around 170 whp and 136 lbs. ft of torque at the wheels. Not bad for a ten year old SOHC, but not anything like this kit. You always get what you pay for. Personally though, I think this company should offer a slightly less expensive kit as many customers may not require a ball bearing turbo, a Type RS BOV (Type S would suffice), and a smaller FMIC. A little cutting here and there and I\'m sure you could get the cost down by at least $1K USD or so, which would likely make a difference to quite a few potential customers.

    Did you get much heat from the cops for the FMIC?

    And how did you go about with your insurance company after being turbo\'ed?

    When you start cutting corners for cost, the overall performance/quality will drop too. Turbo is not meant for the average enthusiast.

    I seen the the video clip of this kit on the dyno and looks good. Also judging by the many protege owners praise Hi Boost for there setup, reliability and performance. I woud love to have this turbo the price is average compared to most systems out there for other makes. The only think holding me back is my warenty still on my car. I can preaty sure garentee that if I had a problem even unrelated to the turbo that cause tranny probs or engine faliure.. you can gareente you will need to dip in your pocket.
    to pay for it because you cant hid our turbo when you bring it into the dealer.

    So to really think about it in a more easier way.


    Get the turbo ! for get about warenty and hope that if you drive your car now like a 16 year old high school kid and your engine or tranny doesnt fail.

    OR..

    Wait until warenty is finished and risk it after knowning you got the most out of your warenty for the next few years.

    Because in the end you will need to have 5k for this turbo setup plus another 6 k or more for any possible engine or tranny damages you will do to the car.


    Because in the end.. who the hell will put a turbo in the car on not give it reall spin?? I know I would!!


    Still need time.. I do belive this is a great turbo though!

    I wish that newer cars were as easy as turbocharging a ten year old civic. The new ECUs are almost impossible to trick, most people want a ball bearing now and the compression being so high, you need to cool the air as much as possible with a huge intercooler. Also the Type S has been replaced by the RS. The only way to tune the car was by using a Haltech E6X (worth USD$1,400.00).

    Our kit is easily comnpared to USD$6,000.00 kits available for other cars.

    When you start cutting corners for cost, the overall performance/quality will drop too. Turbo is not meant for the average enthusiast.
    I had a fairly small FMIC (from a Starion in Japan), and it was hidden behind a mesh grill. You could still make it out, but it wasn\'t as blatently obvious as some of them I\'ve seen. As for insurance, I did not tell them. I was gonna get screwed one way or the other, either in higher premiums (that\'s if they don\'t cut me off altogether), or screwed when/if I had to make a claim down the road. Dangerous game, I know, which is why I said screw it to the whole modding scene. What I suggested above is not necessarily going to affect the quality of the kit, it was merely suggesting that cheaper components could be used. Ball bearing turbo\'s are great, they spool up super quick, but they are not necessary. And as for turbo\'s not being for the average person, I\'m not so sure. GReddy manages to sell craploads of turbo\'s because they sell a complete kit, mean to work seamlessly with a stock car, including things like retaining the air conditioning, which many other kits do not. I guarentee you that half of all GReddy kit owners have no idea what the difference is between their \"blue box\' and an AEM EMS.

    I\'m not bashing hiboost here, I give them props for coming out with such a great kit at a reasonable (to me) price. I am saying however that there is a larger market that I think they are missing by only offering a \"cream of the crop\" type of kit.

    lol all i have us 12k left for bumper to bumper and 52k left for powertrain so in about a year i will be naked ....if the car handles the power (we will see after ppl start running these) i will probably get a custom kit with the help of a few knowlageable(sp?) friends i believe 230whp max is the most you should run with this car, after that go get an awd car.... i would aim for 210-220whp for a comfortable daily driver with some powa when u need it

    Default Re: Turbo Kit for Mazda3 available

    Are there any additional modifications that are going to be required in order to put this on an automatic? If not then I wouldn't mind picking one up after my deployment. That isn't a bad price for the entire kit. I have done a lot of research for the past year or two and a good turbo by itself runs about 2k - 3k. Unless I'm looking in the wrong places lol.

    On a side note and just out of curiosity, what would be the best to put in with the least amount of honest repairs needing to be done. A Supercharger or Turbo? Just wanted to toss that up in the air and see what comes out of it.

    Don't think about FI as a 'least amount of cash' type of scenario; you need money to buy the kit, peripherals, tune it, repair what blows up, and you need patience. I think you have been looking in the wrong places on the internet; Hiboost is long gone, and a good quality kit will run you in the high $3K - high $4k (for the kit alone). Your absolute best bet for a kit is Tripoint.

    Aside from that, I would suggest researching a built tranny. You very likely will chew through yours in a short timeframe. Auto's on this car do not hold up well to FI.

    There was one attempt at a supercharger kit from a company that went under (F2). As of now, a number of people who paid in advance for their kits have not received the kit, in its entirety, and have not gotten their money back.

    The best scenario, if you are concerned about cost, is to sell your car and buy a used first gen speed 3.

    Very good to know. I'm deployed right now, just trying to do some homework for when I get back. I'm looking into FI but honestly don't know what route to take. I thought about getting a '11 MS3 but a used one would be a lot better I think for the money and play time being it was already broken in. My friend told me about these forums so I figured I would test the waters and see what bites. Good to know though with the tips on FI for an auto. Any good sites to look into?

    Go onto mazda3forums and start reading, there is a modification needed for the auto and i believe it is the intercooler piping that runs under the tranny/engine..

    Also take a look at the "boosted members" thread and note that all of the boosted automatics Are now not boosted.

    If your going to boost the auto and u plan on driving it fast, you better get yourself some serious $!

    Tripoint kit+built lentech tranny+ labor= price of a used manual 3i

    Also if your gonna boost your better off with the 2.0 or get ready for con.rods and bearings for the 2.3
