What are some hp mods for the 2.3 leter engine that are simple like pulleys cold air intake plugs etc real simple. What can I expect to gain in hps with any of these mods if there out there to be gotten.

Can a turbo be put on this car with the Auto trans? I don't think so, so I ask all of you if it can be done with reliability in mind 100.000 miles worth.

Thanks for any help.

 

Mazda 3's with both auto and manual transmissions can be turbo'd.

Two sites that sell turbo's for the 3.

 

im gonna point this out since noone will. why would you turbo an automatic mazda3.

 

Why have a Supercharger on a Ford Lightning, it has an Automatic

 

because its a huge truck. not a little 4 cyl car

 

Thanks for the replies on my questions.

And I would turbo my auto 3-5door because its the car I bought new in 2006. Though I do wonder if the auto can take the extra hps given to it. Does anyone know if they can handle the added power. I think I want to start out doingsmaller mods at first... Does any know what works and what doesn't doesn't work...

pullies, cai, exaust, that kind of stuff... What's a combo that is proven to work...... What are the hp gains too

 

massive tranny mods are needed to make decent power on an atx.....should have bought a manual

 

also the f2 kit comes in stages, you have to buy a stage 2 to get the intercooler and piping, i would just buy the tri-point kit.

 

atx turboed= fail and
tracker's double post= faiiil

 

:P, but seriously there are a couple of ppl with turbo atx mz3's running decent times...wait what am i sayin, o yea poopy atx is poopy
