I don't really like the intercooler position, but I certainly understand why it's there. Too bad mazda made it so there wasn't any airflow in the upper portion of the stock front nose.

The car's nice and clean though....let's see the engine bay!

It looks 10000x better with a Mazdaspeed front.

Scott,

I'm currently based in Singapore and would like to import a T1 or T4 kit. Been following the Mazsports threads avidly and must say that I am more than impressed.

How do I go about placing an order? Also would maps be included as well? Lastly if I am able to get a group buy together....could we work something out to fly you out here for the installs / tuning?

Much appreciated for taking the time.

Merv

Remember that the OEM front bumper is solid in that mouth area. The intercooler is much taller than you can tell in the picture. Take a look at Slavearm's Type 1 pics for a better view of the intercooler.

The Dyno number......


338RWHP and 246 torque at 9psi

We had some overheating at this point which just required a few fixes. Also, we ran into that same issue that the Type 1 kit had. The car was "blowing the spark" once it hit 338RWHP so the owner and Scott decided to stop and not push for more.

The customer will be adding the HKS ignition box, last I heard, and come back out for another dyno run. This ignition box is essential to getting to those higher numbers. We have it on the Type 1 now and on the Type 2.

Yup, that's why I said I understand that you had to put the intercooler there.

Good numbers - you think the Type 2 will do any better with the heat problems since it's an air to water intercooler?

Are you planning on including the HKS ignition box in the kit then since you seem to need it over 338 hp and 9 psi. Which BTW is awsome at 9 PSI!

My car already has the box... and you guys have my permission to play on the dyno. TAKE PICTURES WHEN IT ARRIVES!!!! I have pics of it leaving.

Nope! Everyone has different mods and it is a great addition to the kit which is capable of reaching 400RWHP.

The 400RWHP is not so hard to obtain...it really matters though, what mods you have...the health of your Renesis, and the time you commit.

These kits have reached RWHP that is desired by the customers. We think it is just as important to document each kit through a customer's experience so we can share the hows and whys.

Fair enough . However, being pedantic here , saying "capable of 400" kind of implies that it has been done .
