Dondo's Turbo Build

Hey all--

Time for a change. Here's a post-build thread for you.

Build includes:
  • BHR built and ported motor with NRS ceramic seals
  • SFR Top Mount Turbo Kit
  • Turbonetics 60-1 Turbo
  • Gizzmo MS-IBC Boost Controller
  • Tial Wastegate
  • Synapse BOV
  • 750cc RC Engineering Injectors in P2 and Secondaries
  • AEM Water/Meth Kit
  • BHR TB Spacer
  • Mazmart REmedy Water Pump
  • Mazmart REmedy Tstat
  • BHR Lightweight Flywheel and Counterweight
  • ACT Street Duty Clutch
  • BHR Midpipe
  • Borla Exhaust
  • Greddy Oil Pan
  • Greddy Oil Filter Relocation
  • GOODbox (Gauges on OEM Display)
I think that's it for parts but I'll try to keep it updated. Tuning is planned to be done with the Accessport by MazdaManiac.

Special thanks to BHR: Ray, thanks for the offsite support and Easy thanks for playing with me every day for the last month. lol

Enjoy the pics.

There was something in the works, but I'm not sure if it's going to go through anymore. We'll see!
If not, then I'll have to look into other options. My car will be boosted...

To keep on topic, it must be nice to have such a reputable RENESIS builder in your neighborhood to do the install. Makes for a very clean engine bay! Well done

Nice!

You want to know something that really smacked in the forehead? Your list is exactly what I have been collecting on my list for my car one day - except for the exhaust, everything but the last item - forgot the GOODbox

simply amazing

K&N, not sure the model number though. It's a pretty tight fit under there.
