About a year and a half ago we launched our first performance part for the highly anticipated turbocharger 2.5L SkyActiv-G; the Short Ram Intake<\/a>. This is the first factory turbocharged engine in a Mazda since the long-missed Mazdaspeed 3<\/a> in 2013. We were eager to start developing new and exciting products for the Turbo SkyActiv\u2026and trust me that passion has not slowed down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today we are going to give you a sneak peek of what\u2019s to come for the Sky Turbo 2.5L through 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2018+ Mazda 6 Turbo 2.5L – Sport Lowering Springs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

First up is not necessarily a new product for your Mazda 6<\/a>, but is an iteration in response to the feedback we\u2019ve received. The current CorkSport Sport Lowering Springs<\/a> for the 2018+ Mazda 6<\/a> (shown above) are sporty, and comfortable, and provide a balanced drop of 1.0\u201d Front and 0.75\u201d Rear. While many have praised the springs in their current iteration, some have asked for a more aggressive feel and stance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve heard you and we are taking action. We are currently developing more aggressive sport springs that will drop the ride height further and bump up the spring rates a bit; we are calling these the \u201cLowLow\u201d springs. Since we are still in development we have not finalized the ride heights and spring rates, but we have a target drop of approximately 1.5\u201d Front and 1.65\u201d Rear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Performance Short Ram Intake<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next up is a new product and one that many of you are asking for. While the Short Ram Intake<\/a> does increase performance and looks great riding solo in the engine bay, we\u2019ve decided to develop a heat shield kit to further compliment the SRI. We are in the final testing and validation stages, seeing great results with cooler intake air temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will be launching the heat shield kit as a solo option so you can upgrade your current SRI system and in a bundle deal if you are looking for a complete kit for your Turbocharged Mazda 6, CX-5<\/a> or CX-9<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Performance Turbo Inlet Pipe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Next up is a completely new option for the SkyActiv turbo platform\u2026high-performance turbo inlet pipe. This is the first turbo inlet pipe option and is designed to install with the OEM battery, but why is this important or exciting? Just like the Short Ram Intake<\/a>, improvements in airflow both in and out of the engine increase efficiency and thus overall power potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turbo inlet pipes<\/a> are a common upgrade for the Mazdaspeed platform as performance requirements increase. While most of those turbo inlet pipes are manufactured from aluminum pipe or silicone, the SkyActiv-G Turbo Inlet Pipe will be manufactured from cast aluminum. This allowed us to maximize space with a unique shape and still maintain OEM like fitment. Stay tuned for more info on this project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you notice that there is a blue and red silicone coupler on the intake system? In the very near future, we will be providing silicone color options for the Short Ram Intake<\/a>: Black, Red, Blue so you can choose a style that fits your car best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mazda Performance Downpipe <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lastly is the other side of the engine. To complement the CorkSport 80mm Cat-Back Exhaust<\/a>, we are developing a High-Performance Downpipe<\/a> in two setups. Race Only Non-Catted and Street Catted setups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
