as you all know, theres no xD turbo kit on the market. that may change in the near future as my fabricator ( JRX Performance) has had a lot of fun tinkering with my scions. he is thinking about building a turbo kit for the xD in the near future IF there is enough of a market demand for it. dont expect to break the sound barrier with your xD, the kit will be something that functions well, and is reliable. if you want to go balls to the wall, u can always swap like my xD did.

what do u think? hehe

I think I would be the first in line to get a manifold/downpipe...

I am so close to completing my kit...

I dont understand why companies cant just make the parts and see how it goes... make like 3 kits and if they sell, great, make 5 more... if they dont, part em out for other cars and only take a hit on 3 of them total...

I guess the fear of losing money on the R&D side of things is what keeps companies from doing it.

if its not worth it to the companey they are not gonna make product to have them sit on a shelf.... i for one would buy a kit mike as i already have talked to you : )

M2-Motoring · 08-13-2009, 12:44 PM

lol thanks martin.

as for just making a one or two piece kit, yes that is possible but that would be billed as a "one off" kit. much more expensive. if theres enough demand to do at least 5-10 kits to start off with, we'd definitely look into it =)

misformartin · 08-13-2009, 02:41 PM

so when can i get mine made mike : ) maybe beginning of next year... : )

TheLittleDeviant · 08-13-2009, 03:00 PM

If the price is decent I might do a whole kit from you, then I can sell off my current parts/old project car and have plenty left over for upgrades too

misformartin · 08-13-2009, 03:47 PM

yo the guy that woudl be making the kit is crazy legit jrx engineering kills the mazda game and have done good work for me in the past... im going to get with mike and see about getting the ball rolling on this : )

TheLittleDeviant · 08-14-2009, 07:56 AM

Please, some one talk them into doing it... I dont think I can handle another tease...
We already have had at least 3 companies who said they would do it and have fallen through...

M2-Motoring · 08-14-2009, 12:56 PM

JRX can do it for sure. im going to go over details and see how much it would cost. need a actual legit deposit from every buyer to ensure that they will sell at least 5 kits and they'll put the kit into production =)

Glad to see another company stepping up...

TheLittleDeviant · 08-21-2009, 09:14 AM

M2-Motoring · 08-21-2009, 12:25 PM

gotDAMD · 08-23-2009, 10:07 PM

Just seen your xD in a mag at the grocery store. Nice feature and write up. Wish they would have done a few more pics.

M2-Motoring · 09-04-2009, 12:38 PM

the kits im looking to build for the xD from my company are going to be selling minus fuel management aiming at 2k a set lol.

no diss to ptuning tho they do great work im friends with the peeps over there

TheLittleDeviant · 09-04-2009, 02:10 PM

That was my initial reaction too...

2 thousand on a deposit... usually means 6,000+ for total price... and they have not given an estimate on actual price for it either...

what type of deposit did you require mike?
