I gotta say, I've never ridden in a hiboosted 3, but I have ridden in a hass and then my own mashup with the gt28rs and microtech. All I gotta say is that my setup was fucking insane, lots of low end torque. I bet hiboost makes a great setup, I mean look at it this way, hiboosted guys aren't throwing rods through their blocks.

not impressed


but it's going to the shop for a reason, so maybe with a better tune it will be a little more impressive. Also I can now tell you for sure that I don't want to put 19's on a mazda 3.

as he said though guys (as well as in another post) is that car wasn't working well. who knows what's wrong with it. if the guy paid to ship if here from Hawaii to get fixed/tuned/whatever....i would hope it woudl be VERY unimpressive in it's current state.


how long you have it for, i just got word i'll be picking mine up in 2 weeks. so anyone planning on heading to the Redline Time Attack will be able to see it the same time i do.

not this one

As LC and MrTea were nice enough to point out there is a reason it was shipped from hawaii to cali. Other than that it was a neat car to drive, lots of time and money went into it that's for sure. But so far, tune asside I wasn't impressed with the kit. I don't mean to say it sucks, but I've seen the SCI, hass, and hiboost kits now, and I'm happy with the one I've got. I mean, it's a turbo kit.... I've got one too...


Euro if I think the extra time in my roommates 330+ awhp Evo MR9 had more to do with it than not being used to a mazda 3...

lol somebody at sci doesn't like hiboost. if this were a movie, it'd be in the dollar bin.

rofl dollar bin


:rofl: :rofl:

I kick myself daily for not getting the hiboost. Not just because I like the looks of it but because Juan is the kind of vendor I want to support and keep around, he isnt full of shit and has complete knowledge of these cars. That said, I've modded my kit enough to make me happy, a few more things to do and it'll be solid.

1: who are u talking about? whos car?
2: i have seen pix of the SCI kit and i have seen hiboost in person, the SCI looks like some cheap tubing all over the place, i heard ppl shaving them, that it doesnt fit right, or not tight enough.
3: its ur ROOMATES not yours.
4: SCI DOES NOT EXIST ANY MORE, if u work in it or for it ...
5: care to elaborate why every cars that have been runing SCI went pufff? (ed swap to the haltech just on time)

1) don't know if he's forum member, but Jake knows him.
2) that's nice, mine fits, so maybe the person putting it on is just retarded... they all come off the same fixture, how is it one fits and the next doesn't... It's the pilot not the plane.
3) that's nice, what does it matter when I have the keys?
4) yes they do, they're just not a sponsor here anymore.
5) the only car that went [quote author=eurotuner link=topic=74361.msg1325988#msg1325988 date=1176254249]pufff[/quote] was jakes, and that was due to a wg problem, not the kit. then hex's car fell victim to the same wg.... I think I see a pattern.
