Alot of you undoubtibly will not appreciate this. (Unless youre a mazda nut) Its a nice slice of mazda "jdm-ness" Free cookie to who can guess what kind of car and what engine is in it.

Basiclly 14psi, Forged bov, and 2.5 mandrel bent all the way back.
Just got the car a few months ago and recently finished the engine swap. Next up suspension is getting revamped.

323turbo wagon ?

12/28/2005 5:56:44 PM

hahah a forged bov!!!

12/28/2005 6:18:25 PM

Yup, got it for free. Got a problem?

12/28/2005 6:20:47 PM

IMO it sounds far better than any HKS, RFL, Blizts, Apexi i have ever heard. On top of that it, YES it does stay closed at idle etc. Im struggling to make sense of that comment but i simply cant. Might not be the best BOV in the world but it was good enough for Dans EVO up at Mach V motorsports near DC.

ihi vj-20, bout the size of my left nut. full boost at 3 grand

12/28/2005 9:36:40 PM

is that a 323gtr/gtx? I wanted one for so long but they're impossible to find. that or an impluse rs awd. also that motor is probably a BP18.

12/29/2005 1:57:40 AM

yup GTX. Motor is BP-T otherwise a normal BP with a turbo straped on.

12/30/2005 2:38:58 AM

ill laugh when i see you in the street. real nice sunroof you got there.

12/30/2005 2:57:52 AM

i can't wait to see this on the street

[Edited on December 30, 2005 at 9:16 AM. Reason : mexico called - they want their car back]

12/30/2005 9:16:27 AM

Nice find, looks like its in great shape too. Bet its a blast to drive.

12/30/2005 11:49:59 AM

yeah im sure its just a blast

12/30/2005 12:17:21 PM

with just a boost controller (a $12 ball valve from home depot) that car would hand your transam it's ass. a 2650lbs turbo awd snatch damn sure is a blast to drive

[Edited on December 30, 2005 at 12:29 PM. Reason : .]

12/30/2005 12:23:52 PM

The car looks nice. I don't know why anybody is talking shit about it.

Btw ouiji, did you mean a forged bov or a forge bov?

[Edited on December 30, 2005 at 12:35 PM. Reason : ]

12/30/2005 12:34:23 PM

^^ so your saying for $12 that car would be running mid 12's?

12/30/2005 1:18:13 PM

Well, first of all, who gives a shit?

12/30/2005 2:30:45 PM

well smoothcrim stated all this car needed is $12 mod and it would hand my trans am its ass. i was just wondering if it would put this car in the mid 12's (which would be at least what is required to "hand my car its ass")

[Edited on December 30, 2005 at 2:45 PM. Reason : .]

12/30/2005 2:44:55 PM

I mean, it probably wont run mid 12s, and I'm not debating that. But it will probably still be quick and fun to drive.

I don't know why you ever talked shit about this car. It seems to me you're just trying to brag about running 12s.

Quote :

"^ yeah im sure its just a blast"

Why wouldn't it be? It's awd, lighter than your tank, and probably pretty quick. It's also somewhat rare, something your shit isn't.

12/30/2005 2:48:29 PM

kinda makes me think of that new five cylinder focus turbo in europe

1. i dont ever see me bragging about running 12's...i was just asking if this car would be in the 12's with the mod mentioned.
2. im sure it's a neat car to drive around i wouldnt put it in the "sounds like a blast to drive" category.
3. and with the tank comment i take it you have never driven a fbody before

12/30/2005 4:46:32 PM

mod it further and leave it as ugly as possible on the outside. in fact, better yet get some resonators for the exhaust. should be a nice econobox sleeper.

12/30/2005 5:00:28 PM

the exhaust is already very quite, so i have a good time sneaking up on people.
As far as getting a boost controller, i dont need one. The car ran 8psi stock but just from the exhaust and intake runs 14. Any higher and i wouldnt have fuel maps and im not trying to mess with piggy backs and shit right now. My goal for the car was just to have a fun, spirited daily driver. Which it is in every way. As far as racing, dont underestimate the the power to weight ratio on her. I have handed major pain to people you normally wouldnt think i would beat. V8 mustangs are walks, cameros, bmws, wrxs, even an early 90s ferrari the other day. Ofcourse none of these were heavily moded. But for anyone that doesnt believe me, if you see me on the street dont hesitate to line up.

12/30/2005 6:12:41 PM

One more thing, ofcourse some of you smack talkers might be able to beat me in a straight line, on a track or curvy road i would be pissing my paints in laughter. Those tanks can go as fast around a hard apex as maybe my cousins razor scooter.

12/30/2005 6:20:14 PM

Saabturbo yea it is the Brand name Forge. My fault

12/30/2005 6:22:56 PM

its like a small colt or something, but with awd. pretty interesting. make it into a ralley car

[Edited on December 30, 2005 at 6:25 PM. Reason : ]

12/30/2005 6:25:01 PM

just checking here: didnt we all see the mtv show when we were in high school that protrayed the turbo awd 323 as some tiny little super sleeper than time forgot?

12/30/2005 8:04:16 PM

i saw you on capital tonight. not that i knew who you were. you car just happened to be talked about. you took off from the light at new hope ch. rd. heading north on capital when we heard your bov. my wife laughed and asked if it came from "that white piece of shit". i said, "yeah, i guess the idiot wasted money on a jdm engine swap". she does like the way a bov sounds, though. she says the car sneezes everytime it changes gears.

Quote :

"it sounds far better than any HKS, RFL, Blizts, Apexi i have ever heard."

i didn't know you are supposed to purchase a bov based on sound.

Haha thats great!! I dunno what time it was but im sure i wasnt on it too hard, i rarely do unless its dead out.

12/31/2005 1:43:41 AM

I will give you $100 for it since you got it for free






I think this is any real mazda (read not miata) driver's dream car

12/31/2005 2:11:07 AM

how the fuck did you get that car for free? I'll give you $1000 for it

12/31/2005 2:37:51 AM

actually I think I misread, he got the BOV for free

12/31/2005 11:54:12 AM

^^^ no that would be the 20B FD swap

12/31/2005 12:33:00 PM

nah, this is quite a bit more realistic


20Bs are damn near impossible to find and cost way too much

12/31/2005 1:40:43 PM

dreams aren't supposed to be realistic

I was being realistic, too... I could've said homebrew 26B ;-p

12/31/2005 1:46:23 PM

^^ It's not too difficult to build your own 20B. The main thing you need is a two piece eccentric shaft... Brian at Rotorsports Racing in Kannapolis has a 500whp 20B FD and he built it out of some 13B housings.

Obviously you can get a JDM 20B, but you need to rebuild it before you put it in. They were only in luxury cars with automatic transmissions and thus tend to have major carbon build up.

12/31/2005 5:26:31 PM

trans ams are for faggots

12/31/2005 7:49:21 PM

i dont know why people are talking shit about this car

12/31/2005 8:18:46 PM

^^ i concur, i don't think trans-ams are in the 'blast to drive' category

12/31/2005 8:24:18 PM

stop bragging about ur auto transam and i dont care if u plan on putting a stall converter on it either.

12/31/2005 9:00:29 PM

bahaha. atleast some of yall know whats up. Do any of you go to the track much?

1/1/2006 4:40:53 AM

^^^I unconcur, I think Trans Am's are in the blast to drive category. Any car that can get up over 150 mph is in the Blast to Drive category for me, but I care more for speed than auto-Xing shit.

[Edited on January 1, 2006 at 10:08 AM. Reason : ]

1/1/2006 10:08:32 AM

hahaha if you say trans-ams arent a blast to drive you obviously havent driven in one (and im talking one with an ls1 or at the least an lt1)

and if you have driven one and still feel the same then you must have driven it like a pussy

1/1/2006 1:34:57 PM

hahaha if you say turbo 323 gtx's aren't a blast to drive you obviously haven't driven in one.
