- Officially been a year since supercharging!
Still totally reliable and shockingly fuel efficient.
11k miles, and 9 racing events, since install, so much fun having the power that this car always deserved IMO - Auta a dopravní prostředky
ATTENTION MAZDA OWNERS !!!
In case you are not aware ( because it was not advertised) there was a call back on Gen 3 and Gen 4 2.5 for premature failure of the vacume pump / brake booster. The problem was that they used a rubber seal that would fail due to contact with the engine oil / fuel . My 2015 is a used Mazda 6 Gt and I was lucky I chose to remove my intake manifold ( to check on carbon buildup) and found almost 8 ounces of motor oil.
I believe Mazda swapped out the rubber for silicone seals but the wiper blade ends wear down as well so you eventually will get oil going through the vent hose into the intake.
If you do have it run through an oil / air separator you will notice a lot of oil that before took 1000’s of km/ miles before the same amount.
A failed brake booster can lengthen your stopping distance.
As far as I have discovered the vacume pump itself is a dealership part and is covered by the call back .
You can find the PDF online about the callback .
Been following you from the mazda forum since you supercharged it. Glad to hear she's treating you well so far. Definitely looking forward to whatever mods you have coming for the 6!
Appreciate it!!
I'm so excited about this! I have been following since the install video. I cannot wait to do this install on my 16' 6. Thank you for taking the jump in installing this kit and sharing your success with it. You have inspired many to improve an already great car. Thanks again.
So stoked that everything has been fantastic after the year. So looking forward to jump in and get me one. Soooo ready
great info! thanks for sharing, nice to see these options for NA skyactiv engines!
Bro! This is awesome! Thank you for sharing!!!
Dude I just found your channel off of the forum, I’m SO stoked to mod mine this summer!!!
Awesome job and great video
I have a 2017 mazda 6 and I was looking for a supercharger kit...so happy I came across your video 💪🏾
Glad I could help
Thanks for sharing, keep it up! Hoping to use this kit on my AWD 19' Mazda 3 soon!
I have awd mazda 3 as well and I wonder if awd can handle more power or will it explode to pieces if I floor it in 1st gear
Been following along and I'm glad it's still alive. Now I'm considering doing the same for my 2018 mazda3 hatch. The fact that it still gets roughly the same mileage definitely helps.
to be fair it's the same on the freeway, but if your driving in-town with a heavy foot it'll drop more noticeably, but overall my normal daily driving, mostly in town, I'm down 1-2mpg, if I'm feeling spicy on the drive I may be down another 2-4mpg
Still going strong 💪. I can tell when you talk about your Mazda your speaking with emotion. That's awesome man. I'd like to do the same with mine.
Thanks for the support, it's been a great experience, and the community support helps a lot
I supercharged my mazda6 v6 4 years ago and had zero issues for years until I found shaving in the oil pan so now I have a different motor and I am rebuilding the v6 with lower compression pistons so it can handle more psi
been thinking about supercharging my gen 4 2.5L NA mazda3 hatch. it's ultimate goal after exhuast, intake, tunes.
Great video!
Thanks!
Since the car market will be hot for longer than id like, i feel like upgrading what i have will be better than hunting for a deal.
Thanks for wonderful video ... definitely helps us outside of China to consider buying and installing this unit....love from Malaysia..
Yo bro..from msia too..any plan to try this? 😅
@@mohdpazli yup...considering
@@poovaneswaransupramaniam6706 cool..interested as well..do u have wasap?
@@mohdpazli yes I do...
@@poovaneswaransupramaniam6706 i just got in touch with them..16k for the total kit kinda high 😅
This really awesome to hear and gives some peace of mind knowing this doesn't mess with the economy of the car at all.
How much longer are you are extending your oil life? Have it had it analyzed to find more optimized oil change intervals? Apologies if you've spoke about this in pervious videos. Looking forward to more videos about your mazda 6.
I'm just running 5k mile oil changes, haven't had any issues, at 2.5 years and 30k miles with the supercharger now.
A few others with the supercharger have had their oil analyzed and nobody has detected issues.
Ok. So I've followed you since the beginning. My state doesn't have the strict emissions standards. So, as an engineer... What would you do without those constraints? Just curious, because I may be another to add to the ten that have done this. I have a 2017.
Hi bro. Can you share the list (part and brand) of your upgrades? Thank you
Hey Great video! I'm thinking of doing this to my 2018 Mazda 3. But was there a clearence problem with the air intake because I'm thinking of buying the AFE air intake with the coolingbox. WOuld that fit with the supercharger?
ya, the supercharger just takes the place of the intake manifold, can use existing intakes just fine
Great you are sharing your experience even after some time. What I can read from your sum up for me is still a more trustful product than before. I was thinking I should put it to my 3 BM but from the family requirements to get more space I switched to 6 and this post resurrected my old idea. Glad to hear you are still satisfied. Btw: Is there any extra care for supercharger required? How to do a maintenance for supercharger and when? Fingers crossed! Peace to all.
no extra maintenance, except I'm planning to replace the belt probably twice as often as OE. Theoretically the supercharger is no maintenance sealed bearings/gears for at least 100k miles
@@M6Ninja thanks for a sharing. PS: maybe I overlooked it but do you have a list of all modifications and parts used in your M6 somewhere? Fingers crossed for your project!
Hi mate, im from AUS I have a 2013 maz6 in the sports 6speed tip,auto such a great car already as it is but would love a turbo or supercharge solution? my question is what transport. are you running and how has it been?..
The standard 2.5 engine has about 194 horses with the installation of a supercharger, how much power increases and that a new map is needed, and some modifications to the exhaust or gearbox?
🔥❤️
Installing mine tommorrow morning. Wanted to ask what tune your using now? I have mazda edit and a tuner...also have my own versa tuner.
After going through 4 tuners, finally have a good one, email Justin at MazdaSauceTuning@gmail.com he is the master Mazda tuner (he also tunes NA or the 2.5T)
So just a quick question for all the mechanics out there. The naturally aspirated 2.0l fourbanger has a very high compression by stock. How do you change that with the supercharger kit? I know you cant run the same compression with a compressionkit. Im thinking about turboing my 2014 skyactiv g165 MZ3 for easy power
Actually the mechanical CR is a non-issue, because it leaves the intake valves open at the beginning of the compression stroke to control the effective compression ratio.
Just replace the intake manifold with the compressor, and boom 50-60% more air flow!
the kit for the 2.0L uses a 0.75L compressor whereas the kit for the 2.5L uses a 0.9L compressor
Even when going to a smaller pulley there is no need to open/change any internals of the motor.
With more than 50 of us running these kits, in various states of tune, there are still zero incidents of failed engines, these Skyactiv engines are really strong
@@M6Ninja okay thank you so much
Hello, does the supercharger have a separate oil circuit? Or is just bearings, I know in other cars you have to change the oil in the supercharger too
oil in the supercharger is supposed to be replaced every 100k miles, it's a sealed unit.
Hi buddy thanks for the year update. Can you please tell me the spark plugs you upgraded to after the super charger install. Thanks
They are the NGK Laser iridiums (the OE plug for 2016 Nissan GT-R)
I'm thinking of a Procharger
I put a catch can on a gen 4 2.5T but have seen not a drop in 10,000 miles.
I'm wondering if that's normal or not.
Just stumbled upon this. Do you still have contact with company you got the supercharger from?
Yep their name is VT-Racing, from China

Do you know if the mazda6 manual is overbuilt enough to handle the added torque and hp? I was searching for the Facebook group but can't find it. Would love to talk to someone with a manual that has done this mod. Thanks for sharing your journey!
Yes, the manual is fine with the extra power, though some people are having some clutch slippage and have upgraded it.
It's true that the manual is not as strong as the automatic, but neither of them are near their limit yet with this kit, it's very linear boost, gentler than a turbo!

@@M6Ninja Many thanks!!!
Hey, that mazda 6 have the 3.7 V6? im looking for a supercharguer for that engine and i cant found it.
Would this work with a 2021 hatch 3? I know theres some differences, non turbo premium.
Yes, it definitely will, there are people running it on 4th gens
How many miles your got on your car I have a 2016 with 80000 you think it would be worth it around 100,000 miles to get it supercharged?
50k miles, at 100k miles it's still got at least 100k to go with the supercharger, wouldn't worry about it, just take good care of fluids...
How much to get your Mazda supercharged ?
for a mazda 3 skyactiv 165hp it is difficult to set up , i dont have tools and i live in thailand , it seems they dont know to install this kit :(
Where can I purchase the supercharger I’ve been looking everywhere for it and every website is out of date
unfortunately there's still no official store front, a few of us early adopters made a guide that includes discussion about the process and contact info:

MAD PROPS U DIDN'T SUCCUMB & BUILD A HONDA or ACURA! as a Mazda CX-5 onwer myself, MAZDA shoulda made all their 2.5L I4 transmissions with 7 gears #1.
#2. b/c it's supercharged do u feel any difference when the auto goes from 2nd to 3rd?? I noticed in the CX5 when in auto mode it lags off the power & torque band when not in auto/man mode, what do u think?? Before the SC install
Two things, 1) I dropped the transmission pan, replaced the filter, and most of the fluid, which definitely helped with smoothness & quickness of shifts (ignore the claims of "lifetime fluid")
2) My tuner actually found ways to improve the tightness/quickness of the automatic transmission shifting, so it never feels like it lags any more, plus having the supercharger means I basically always have torque, it's a lovely package, so many smiles per gallon :)
is it VT supercharger? would it be a good fit for 2012 mazda 3?

What’s the cost of a project like this I have the same car but mine is 2017 and I would love to do this
The kit itself is ~4000usd, with the gauges and oil cooler and everything it's more like 5000usd
But in the end you've got an engine that makes the 2.5T feel slow :)

@@M6Ninja how much do think labor would cost because I’m not that good at car work
And thanks for the response I think Mazda should offer a fast version of the 6 it’s an awesome car

what supporting mods for the supercharger? catless DPs?
Just replaced the heavy giant muffler with a Thrush turbo muffler, replaced the spark plugs with 1 step colder plugs made for Nissan GT-R, also added an oil cooler (not necessary unless you take it racing like I do).
Note: the stock headers on these engines are so good that it's not worth changing, as most aftermarket headers will lose torque across a lot of the rpm range.
Doesn't really need any supporting mods, just switch to the colder plugs and get it tuned (highly recommend Justin form MazdaSauceTuning@gmail.com)
hi 0-100 what time?
Where did you uy it and how much did it cost in all?
It cost about $4k usd in all, with doing the install myself, then spent another $500 or more in extras (colder spark plugs, boost gauge, oil pressure gauge, oil cooler) this is their official site www.jiasu-auto.com/vt-racing-products.html

Is there a Supercharger Kit for Mazda3 2.5 Automatic?
Yes, it's the same as the kit I am running on my Mazda 6, Automatic with 2.5L
whats ur 0 to 60 on this
Where can I get the supercharher? I have older gen GH Mazda 6, I am from Europe.

Hi, could you please tell me how much you paid for the kit ? thank you
around 4,000usd after shipping
@@M6Ninjathank you 👍🏻
Wonder if thisll work on an ND2
There is a proper kit made for the ND1 that should be able to work for the ND2 (it uses the exact same compressor my kit is using, but different manifold)
Mine is a mazda 6 2012 2,2 gh with 294000 km on the clock is it safe to put a compressor on it?
unfortunately no, it is only for the 2.0 or 2.5
Just really need an LSD with that much HP/front drive.
Ya, I've made a lot of progress with tuning the suspension to mitigate the lack of proper LSD (like running without a front sway bar), but there's only so much I can do.
I've talked to a few companies, but it would be so expensive to add an LSD to this car that I doubt I ever will.
Does it fot to a mazda 6 gh 2,2 diesel ?
unfortunately no, it is only for the 2.0 or 2.5
What is the torque number ?
from 160wtq to 240wtq
time to put LSD
ya I keep thinking about that, too bad it's so expensive :(
Has anyone installed this on a manual model?
yes, works fine with either transmission
Thats my plan, jump on in and give it a shot. Can't wait. should have the funds soon to start the process. Stoked.
@@aquawhitereef keep us updated bro, start some videos on your channel. thinking about installing one on mines
0-100 ?
5sec
assuming you mean KMH, less than 6s, I can do 0-60mph in 5.6s
I'd go for meth injection and a pro tune next, 300hp safely
Do you recommend vt superchargers are they real whats their website or ig account
It's been fantastic, over 2.5 years, 30k miles, and dozens of racing events, totally reliable and SO much fun!
