Hey guys, I’m new here. Question
is there a turbo kit for bolt on for the 2016 mazda3 sedan

 

Not as far as I know; the engines for the 2016 Mazda3 are both very high compression and such engines do not make good candidates for turbocharging.

 

Stay tuned....ya never know what will be available in the future???

 

Unless and until an aftermarket company comes up with either shorter rods and/or lower decked pistons to lower the compression ratio, the SkyActiv-G engines are exceedingly poor candidates for forced induction of any type.

 

Grab the 2.5T from the Mazda 6, CX5 or CX9

 

I know of at least one company that has already been considering the development of a add on kit for the NA's. I think they may be droping hints about it this summer?
I develop and "engineer" Performance Parts for various platforms for over 4 decades my marketer keeps me informed on some projects from other companies he thinks I may be interested in.

 

what do you think a swap would cost?

 

You know I think he was just being funny?
You would need a complete donor car to use its engine, transmission and primary ignition harness with ECU. .

The main reason there are not to many companies contemplating an after market Turbo kit for the Skyactiv engine is that the necessity for the carefully and experienced through first being professional trained and then practical hands on experience calibration changes that would need to be done for the engine upgrade. Building a Turbo kit to fit the NA was never the issue its controlling the combustion detonation through the ECU that is the challenge with an ECU.

 

I wasn't trying to be funny.

With the lack of kits available, the high compression of a skyactiv engine, using an existing skyactiv turbo engine makes more sense.

The biggest issue is tuning a ECU, that will not only run the engine, but integrate seamlessly with all the other modules & CAN network, without any fault codes.

 

I did not discount a EFI/ECU Performance Calibration and never do regarding any OBDII or Canbus ECU when talking abut a upgrade tot engines output over a stock calibrated ECU. have personally seen most all the available "hacked" access cells in a Mazda 3 ECU (na) even if they were still locked from possible adjustment changes.
I understood what you said but you perhaps didn't fully read what I said? To do what you suggested in your other post would require the complete running gear and ECU and now reading your response I forgot about the a few other integrated ECU controls. In other words you can't mount the ECU upside down and run it in a conversion like this ....or can you? hehehehe! There is a program being developed for track use to shut off all but the engine operation of a ECU. I think even Corksport may have a little more insight on that end of it? But they are not offering it as a service or product even in the future at least as of last year?
