The mazda 3 MPS is a front wheel drive!

and i comes stock with 18x7" wheels!

They go pretty hard hey! :)

Go hard alright - we've got the mazda 3 pilot car(press car) from Mazda Australia. They've given it to us for 2 months to see what we can do with it. In standard trim it made 160.8 Front wheel kilowatts on about 12psi of boost. We are hoping to make another 30kw on top of that with another 4-6psi of boost.

The Mazda 6 MPS (4WD) he had made about 155awkw and went to 190awkw on about 19psi of boost after we tuned it. Both have the same engine.

Personally the Mazda3 MPS has made me consider selling my skyline as they are just such a good little car and handle so well. It will be interesting to see if DSC will handle the extra 30kw being a front wheel drive.

I think the first thing you should do is put a BIGGER turbo on it!! :P

Personally i couldn't ever go back to a front wheel drive after owning a skyline. :)

That's, what, like 210hp at the wheels from a factory hatchback! That is seriously nuts! About 30hp more than my R32 GTS-T (on standard boost)! Shit, I need either some boost or a new car, and quickly!!!

The 3MPS are unreal - a mate owns one

My fiancee and i also own a SP23 - great daily cars, nice and comfortable, good on fuel and well built with a 2.3L n/a motor.

Its pretty fun to drive - even my mate with the MPS was impressed at how well it goes and corners for n/a!!

      Rb26 iron block limit

      By Curlyfred · Posted

      Aye, everything is being touched and all the parts that are responsible for the oiling issues are also fixed. (Crank collar, billet prp oil pump, head return to sump, yada yada yada)  Everything used is of reputable brands like greddy, prp etc. My tuner did mention we’d keep the torque on the “lower” side.   glad to read that my engine won’t blow up on me lmao

      What's this Foreign Object?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      It's a fuel pump. EFI, high pressure, but specs otherwise unknown. A bodge job.

      Rb26 iron block limit

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      800 engine horsies is fine. Will need all the obvious upgrades. Rods, pistons, oil pump, big sump, sump breathing mods. Build for revs because revs are power with less stress on the bottom end compared to boost. Keep the torque down in the midrange, either by limiting boost or timing.

      Rb26 iron block limit

      By Curlyfred · Posted

      Hiya guys,    i’m currently in the process of getting my rb26 built. everything is being replaced with better/upgraded parts or oem when that’s good enough (which isn’t alot lol). someone earlier mentioned to me that i’ll be screwed cause the iron block can’t take 800hp (to the engine, not wheels) which is what it’s being built for.  what do you guys think about this, am I cooked or na? The guy building the engine will also do the mapping as he is “the guru of old nissan engines” here in Belgium. I know the mapping makes a huge deal so i’m not concerned about that.    I honestly he’s talking shit cause he’s that kinda guy but a second opinion never hurt anyone! cheers in advance! 🫶🏻

      R-chassis INNER tie rod torque spec?

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      I'm seeing torque specs all over the place for the OUTER tie rod, but none for the INNER tie rod, where it connects to the steering rack. Even in videos, people are just tightening em up as much as they can with a wrench and that's it. Anything tightened down without torque makes me nervous. Anyone know what the spec is for it?
