Mazda 6 2.3L Turbo

Mazda 6 2.3L Turbo


For massive amount of torque, you need a skillful driver, a heavy foot and a Garrett TD-04 Turbo with Greddy emanage computer. For your passengers, they will need a new set of testicles preferably made of steel.

So, we spent hell lotsa time fixing up this madza. Especially on the ECU side where we got a few puzzles to figure out and of course, we finally figured out and yes, finally all smiles and good to go!

Ok, heres my take, you get a huge amount of torque produced, a nice 'g' force feeling at the 2500 rpm area, a factory idle quality, 'smooth' acceleration, no engine stallings, no rough cold starts. In short, an approxiamte increase of 50~60% more horses.

After 1 week of working on this ride, the results is extremely satisfying.


Overall verdict:
Highly recommended. Massive amount of torque. Puts a smile on everyone's face. Mazda'a VVT wasnt an issue at all and blended in with the new setup.



Once I'm done with my chores, I'll write on a Subaru TS 2L Turbo soon.

Honda Civic ESi Turbo Charged Boost Up

Honda Civic ESi Turbo Charged Boost up today. Did some fine tuning on the low end side and boost this hot rod to 0.6 bars for low boost and a 0.75 bars on high boost.

This Boost level is not to the very limits of the engine but we're putting the cap on the amount of boost we're making for this ride and very careful to select the right time to boost this ride up to 0.75 bars of boost. Turbo spool is very much better now as the actuator is now tuner controlled and the low end response is also more torque.

When the Vtec kicks in wih the turbo effect, it can cause the car to wheel spin for a second and then sprint forward. Its not those power sucking wheel spin I'm talking about here, but the skill of the driver to switch gears smoothly and quickly such that the boost drop is almost negligible.

While tuning, I tried to simulate what the owner did when he test drove the car but wasnt able to switch gears and control the car fast enough to achieve the same effect. Anyway, skill aside, this ride pulls a very strong 0.75 bars of boost and when the turbo spools, the 'g' force can be felt. haha, that placed a smile on everyone's face of course.

This ride benifits from the racing clutch that was installed and no lost of power when the turbo spools violently.

Once again, a very nice ride to own, nice idling, no stalling and best of all, a fuel consumption of 480 km per tankful.

Verdict :
Very torquey car to drive, excellent high end power from the TD04 Turbo, good fuel consumption. Strong 0.75 bars of boost.

I think this should make the owner proud as I know that he want to prove this car's worth before selling it off. Yes, another crazy about cars guy.... thats right!
