Soo happy I found your channel man this is SICK, can you make a video on what problems you ran into when tuning and potential fixes? I don’t know how to tune at all and I’m guessing a project like this for a beginner like me is gonna be a really big task
Remote tuning is included with the kit, though it's a very conservative base tune, and this is such steady mild boost that the engine runs fine on stock tune with the supercharger (as long as you switch the spark plugs and run premium gas), but it won't have as much power until it is tuned. I'm actually working on a custom remote tune through DRTuned, to extract more power from this setup!
I'm not sure it's quite at 300hp wheel, yet, probably 300hp at the crank right now. Working on extracting more power from custom remote tuning with DRTuned. AND just found out I can go from 64mm to 61mm pulley and gain +1.5psi... so I think I can get it to 300WHP or more Also because the power band is so wide and instant, it feels way faster than that peak HP number properly describes. Even though my Mazda 6 is pretty big with long wheelbase, it still only weighs 3200lbs, so I'll be getting close to a 10:1 ratio of power to weight!!! Never thought I could go this far with this car!
It's been great, it's pretty easy to install yourself, I have a link to a guide that we made for buying/installing it in my channel page, our check out the Facebook group I created 'Skyactiv-G Super/Turbo Community'
That's very nice, Now I want to install one of those in my Mazda 3, I would like to see more videos from you, Have thought about installing superchargers for more cars? May be only Mazdas, that would have a lot of viewers
all in about 4000usd, I installed it myself, there are guides and even videos walking through installation, so it's really not too bad. If you have to pay for installation it will cost quite a bit, probably 1500-3000usd depending on the shop you take it to.
I’ve got a manual mazda6 and was looking to increase power. Yours seems to be automatic. Any one have word if the manual can handle the additional power?
Hello guys, I am contacting Chinese engineers. I want to sort out the simplest and reasonable purchase plan for everyone. If you have any questions, you can ask me. I will ask them questions and reply to you on your behalf.
here is a guide to getting and installing the Supercharger kit (about 10 of us have purchased in the US since I worked out this path): drive.google.com/file/d/1GEK-WxE4gTWX80ol2p-XiuyelRE3rS0M/view?fbclid=IwAR1W8iTVBpIfJUG9lGGslCkU11Rkd8JHzu62V3tV3ftMrBJuFTTfJYo5MOo
I replaced the muffler with Thrush Hush Turbo 2.5" muffler, with simple center exit turn-down (was being very cheap when I did it, right after buying the car 4 years ago). Also, replaced the 2nd Cat with a high flow 200 cell FlowMaster 2.5" catalytic converter (in both cases just had a local shop cut out the old and weld in the new). Very happy with the result, though I always intended to get a prettier exhaust, I've come to love the sound and lightweight and the look of confusion from people when my car sounds like it does, but effectively has a hidden exhaust LOL
VT-Racing is still making superchargers! AFAIK they've now sold 50 kits thanks to my pioneering :) Unfortunately there's still not a good official store front for the company, here is the guide some of us early adopters put together: drive.google.com/file/d/1q38vb7a0kd-VjG-7LXMi2kpJDl7e-T3y/view
Love the balance of the whine and the intake sounds in the cabin 👏
That sounded amazing
Ever since I owned my R53 mini I just love the sound of S/C 4 cylinders just so cool especially because you really don’t see a whole of them
Dude, sounds awesome!

Awesome dude! Mad goals, How much hp you putting up?
It's pushing around 300 atw

@@M6Ninja wait, theres really only 380lbs difference between mazda3 2.0 vs 6 2.5?! wtf i wish i went big and gone the 6 route:(
@@M6Ninja is the 61mm pulley for the supercharger?
i live in Thailand but i cant find anybody to install the VT rcing kit you have, have you some trouble with or any ? thanks
Company either shut down or is in development.

We getting a part 2?
yes, always planned to, but I'll get on that
looks really fun, thanks for sharing. Do you mind to tell how much it cost for the supercharger and installation? i'm thinking to do it.

manual transmission seems to handle it fine, there are dozens of Mazdas with manual transmission running the supercharger now without issue
@@M6Ninja Okay...then I can start getting the dollars together!

I wonder if I could do this for the N/A 2.5L in the 2nd gen CX5
Exact same engine!
IF it's a 2.5L Skyactiv then yes
Nice sounds Ninja! I meant to ask you before... what exhaust system do you have?

Nice. Good info. It sounds really good. Not to ricey... 👏👏👍👍
Sad thing is that the company is either in limbo or quit . Just when I thought I could get a supercharger 🤬
What happened?
Me and like 4 other people just ordered ours idk what you are talking about lol
