Hey guys/gals. My name is Everette and I am in the process of parting out my 2009 Mazdaspeed3 with ambitions to trade it in and get a 2011-2012 white SHO. I know a little about direct injection turbo setups but I am sure there is much different across platforms. In short I am here to learn as much as I can and contribute to the community as my knowledge increases.
I have had my mazda for 3.5 years (bought it new) and I am very much going to miss rowing through the gears, torque steer, and that dark cloud of smoke that came out of it when I went WOT after not having done so for a while
. I put a lot of work into it over the years. It was fully bolted (every mod under the sun, but stock turbo) and tuned by one of the platforms gurus on meth and e85. I just recently did a coilover setup for it but I am growing out of he car for sure. I want something more comfortable and mature. Im applying for jobs here and there and I dont think Im being taken super seriously showing up with my red hatch with gold wheels... Lol.
Other vehicles have been an 07 civic si, 09 focus se, 03 hayabusa, 05 civic dx, 79 volvo 244dl, and 92 nissan 240sx.
If it lets you know the type of person I am, I am already trying to figure out the best way to install my current meth kit into a sho and where is best to have the controller set to come on, without even having the damn car. Lol.
Once I get it I plan on getting the package from livernois with the tuner, downpipes, thermostat and intake. Later after that ill look into the exhaust and meth setups and figuring out how to get an oil catch can on it.
Anyways I have a lot of reading to do here. Look forward to chatting with all of you!
