Turbo 6i - Mazda 6 Forums : Mazda 6 Forum / Mazda Atenza Forum

Yes I have read all the threads, buying a kit is to costly ad I like a challenge. So building my own turbo kit. What would I need for a stock 6i? I miss my bov and etc from my sti. So far I've thought of the things I need: turbo, inter cooler, exhuast manifold, intake manifold maybe? Not sure, wastegate? I'm good with cars but never done something like this, can the stock block handle a turbo? What about my tranny (automatic) and my fuel injectors etc, what all would I need to do and upgrade? Looking forward to your guys responses

You'll need new injectors. What year do you have? You'll need a tuner. You can handle about 8 psi on stock block and autotragic tranny. Stock intake manifold will be fine. Most speed 6 parts bolt up fine like the exhaust manifold.

tapatalking.. err wait.

8 psi? My brothers gsx on a 2.0 can run 14. Oh well, better than none. Would I need to switch to 93 octane?
And an 04 6i

Im sure switching to minimum 91 octane would be benificial.

You will need to run a standalone iirc then.

Higher fuel pressures would likely also be needed.

iirc = if i recall correctly

He is referring to standalone tuning. There is also piggyback tuning which us v6's need if we wish to go forced induction.

This seems to easy lol.... What else am i missing?

Mr.Smoke · 11-25-2012, 07:07 PM

Found this on a quick google search. Check it out. Some good insight.

Its not overly difficult to physically add a turbo. Its getting it fitted & performing properly that is expensive, time consuming and an overall daunting task.
