cp-e Sneak Peek- Big Turbo Upgrade

[Adam is so pro]

We are proud to give you guys a “sneak peek” into our new big turbo upgrade for the MazdaSPEED3 chassis. This release shows our new downpipe / dumptube (exit pipe) designed around our 2010 MazdaSPEED3 test vehicle that was recently displayed at PRI (Performance Racing Industry) Trade Show recently held in Orlando, Florida.





This downpipe has some key elements that really add to its design merit, re-circulated wastegate dumptube, 304 Stainless Steel construction, TIG welded (not completed in picture, as this is our prototype), extra available wideband lambda sensor bung, and integrated flex piping for both the main exhaust exit and the dumptube exit.

The re-circulating wastegate dumptube is just an example of how cp-e™ really goes the extra mile with design and engineering. Some other aftermarket manufacturers sell downpipes with separate wastegate dumptubes that just exit to atmosphere; we see this as a lazy method of design. With a re-circulating wastegate dumptube, you do not have the danger of extremely hot exhaust gases exiting within the engine bay, potentially causing engine heat soak and putting any sensitive parts (electrical or otherwise) in danger of overheating or melting. The exhaust from the wastegate will exit out the rear of the car, just like the rest of the engines exhaust output.

With the construction done in 304 Stainless Steel, you will never need to worry about rust or any other type of detrimental corrosive damage. TIG welded junctions mean strong, lasting welds, completed by our talented in house welding staff.

The extra lambda sensor bung at the elbow of the outlet is critical for easy installation of an aftermarket wideband lambda sensor to aid in precision tuning of the fueling requirements of the engine.

The flex joints in both the wastegate dumptube, and the main downpipe are critical for longevity of the entire assembly. If you have stock engine mounts or solid aluminum engine mounts, the engine still has vibrations and movement that the downpipe and exhaust assembly is subject to. The flex joints in our downpipe are a way to relieve the stress caused by normal engine movement to prevent the possibility of a broken weld or cracked downpipe assembly.

Stay tuned for further releases on our MazdaSPEED3 big turbo upgrade!

Very nice. Glad to see a comapny like cp-e making big moves for our platform!

[08.5MS3]

Good stuff. Will be good for those of us who do not want to venture into the whole BT thing ourselves. Having a kit will be perfect, especially from a top notch company such as cp-e. No thank you RR. Keep up the stellar work!

[inseong]

this is stupid question i think since theyre both the same motors..... BUT, will this also bolt on flawlessly to the 1st gen ms3? btw dp looks NIIIIICE

[802MS3]

who the fuck are you???

[Boostaholic]

When and where in Orlando was this pri tradeshow?

[inseong]

<-- my name. yea, i dont come online too much since i work all the time. just started getting into the car modding again. i was just curious is all since i know cp-e is the good stuff and they only mentioned 2010 and not prev. gen.

[R.MS3]

Prices soon or ban.

[Jessman]

Thats a thing of beauty

[Cataphract_40]

This is very nice, but we really need an exhaust manifold to go along with it...

Oh, and a big turbo too

[www.cp-e.com]

This is just part one, but have no fear, there is an exhaust manifold and a turbo (as we designed this DP with the manifold and turbo installed). Stay tuned for releases.

[superskaterxes]

my fav part was when you said VTA WG was for lazy people,

recirced EWG is for PUSSYS!!!!!


and my dump tube exits below the subframe so nothing is getting burnt........

[taf0422]

I guess this will give me an excuse to dump my current downpipe/k04...hmm

I like this very much!! Subbed for more details! I wants it all

I was hoping someone would like it! Haha

[hnda etr]

Sander, any "hints" as to cost for this complete kit?

I'm guessing.... $3400.... How did I do?

We haven't even discussed a final price yet. So I don't know either.

Well no matter what the final price is, I'm guessing I'm pretty close lol...

Please keep in mind though, that this is a budget racer, not a luxury racer, and not a lot of people can afford to fork over $3k (or more knowing cpe prices) for a kit like this, when for $1600-$1800 they could get an ATP turbo that doesn't require a new ex mani and DP...

I'm not saying that $3500 for a drop in turbo kit is bad, shit, my boss' friend just paid something like $12K for a drop in supercharger kit for his Audi S4 (or some Audi like that)... But this is a luxury racer...

Just be sensitive to your market.

Will it be available for the speed6?

[Alpha]

ALAS!!! It's getting close! I want one of the first kits! MS6 ready to go!!!

Will this DP be available catted as well? Looks like that routing would force it to be catless across the board.

[djuosnteisn]

Alpha, so far... this is a speed3 kit. It will require a different down pipe for the speed6.

This platform needs more complete kits. I think this is a big step in the right direction.

[www.cp-e.com]

Trust me, we are definitely aware of this. We spend a lot of meeting time on determining these types of decisions, and we know it's not a GTR, R8, or whatever. It will be priced accordingly.

Good call, and yes... A HUGE step in the right direction!

Yayy! For this being thought out already about the price! I like the sound of that. Cp-e is definitely taking the right steps to bump this platform even more. I'm like 2011..

[taf0422]

hahaha...I can wish can't I.

[madvillain]

ugh recirced wastegates are total bonerkills.

[cageyvet]

I think it will be priced fairly but not cheap. I really hope the kit comes with something along the lines of a gt35r instead of 3076. The downpipe does looks like its coming together nicely.

FIXED

[spnkr21]

A 35r? What's wrong with you cagey.

[Alpha]

I love the prefabbed recirc tube, that's the only way I'd go EWG with a car like this.

[spnkr21]

I have a screamer pipe now but will change to recirc next month. Way too loud. Can't be in boost without everyone within 2mi knowing. Smart choice cp-e. Plus it keeps it legal.

[Mistersix]

Nice to see cp-e steppin up. Now, just make a kit for the speed 6. PLEEEEZZZ!

[super_pablo_]

hmmm... subbed for interest (ill check back in a couple years to see if this kit is out yet)

Agreed, this isn't a SRT-4... some of us would still like to maintain the DD appeal of the car.

[07ms3obrien]

Can't wait to see the final package!

Gunna wait to go bt to see what turbo yins use.
