Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce to you the very first (I believe) boosted skyactiv-g using the Phantom Supercharger! (Note: I have a 2012 iTouring 2.0L) @Robftss @Wild Weasel
I just got finished installing about an hour ago. Not the prettiest of installs but I could have done worse. After a few snags that slowed me down I had everything I needed. First of fitting the filter with the turbine in the small space of the skyactiv was retarded. This engine bay needs more space!
I just sent my first log to OV who is tuning me so he can work on the base map. I did 2k rpm for about 3 seconds, then 3k rpms for about 5 seconds. I'm going to keep my initial thoughts to myself until my base map is created and I can really open her up while being safe, but I can tell you it sounds awesome when it gets spun up.
Here are some pics. Please ignore my dirty ass car.
*Edit*
So I'm getting a lot of "why tune an economy car" "why didn't you get a faster car" "why waste your money on this"
Here is the bottom line. I bought this car with my own money, I did not have the means to finance a "faster" car. Before I got this one, I did a lot of research and a few test drives. In all honesty I bought this one mainly because if the mpg and after test driving because of the combo of that and how it drive compared to others. I also realized that this engine is the future of mazda, and it was looking bright. It wasn't until I contacted Mat about tuning that we both realized that the stock tune on these cars left a lot of power out. There is much more hidden in the ECU than one would think. After a lot of testing we worked it all out. Then I contacted him about this supercharger. I did the research, talked to people, and decided to go for it. To be the first boosted skyactiv. While the idea of being first is awesome, and the fact that my 2900lb daily driver could be over 200hp thrilled me; I realized it's not just that. Everyone says, oh you can't boost that engine, it can't be done.
Well now it is done, it's being driven daily, and it works. The future is open now. If you still want to be close minded, then you should just move on and ignore this while the rest enjoy success.
