Ill make sure to take a bunch of pictures and Post them Asap. So I decided to get rid of the Honda and pick up a fresh as 2010 Mazdaspeed 3. it is sick and rips. coming from a civic Lx this car is scary fast and took some getting used too.
Its crazy how packed in everything is in the engine bay of this car. there is no extra room for everything. after removing the battery box, intake, turbo inlet pipe and the ecu you can finally see the turbo at the rear of the Motor between the motor and the firewall.
I couldnt stand to leave the car stock so i decided to install some performance mods. I installed a Turbosmart dual port blow off valve, Cobb Turbo Inlet Pipe, a Cobb SRI Intake, a MSD Dashhawk to monitor all the stuff going on in the car. I also have a greddy turbo timer that i Still need to install.
With the Mods the car sounds like a jet engine. you can hear the turbo spool up very well and hear the difference between the Dual port BOV recurculating at low boost pressures and venting to the atmosphere at high boost pressures. This things pulls like a freight train all the way to redline.
