We are developing a performance turbo upgrade from scratch with larger and performance-optimized housings, CHRA, and wheels, all designed to work together.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing this design path takes a lot more time, effort, and money to create a finished product. Despite the increased resource requirements, this is what it takes to develop an efficient and reliable performance drop-in turbo for the Mazda community. Now, let\u2019s apply some context to that statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back in 2018, we wrote a couple of blogs dissecting the OEM turbo found on the <a href=\"https:\/\/corksport.com\/mazda-6\/2018-mazda-6\/\" title=\"\">Mazda 6 2.5T<\/a>.&nbsp; At that time the Mazda 3 did not have a turbo option yet.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read the posts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/corksport.com\/blog\/mazdas-dynamic-pressure-turbo-an-introduction\/\" title=\"Mazda\u2019s Dynamic Pressure Turbo \u2013 An Introduction\">Mazda\u2019s Dynamic Pressure Turbo \u2013 An Introduction<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/corksport.com\/blog\/mazdas-dynamic-pressure-turbo-a-closer-look\/\" title=\"Mazda\u2019s Dynamic Pressure Turbo \u2013 A Closer Look\">Mazda\u2019s Dynamic Pressure Turbo \u2013 A Closer Look<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We inspected the housings, wheels, CHRA, and Mazda&#8217;s &#8220;Dynamic Pressure&#8221; system. We quickly realized that the OEM turbo would be a HUGE limitation on the Mazda Turbo engine&#8217;s performance &#8211; even once tuning was fully available. Fast forward to the announcement of the Mazda 3 Turbo option, and we got to work on an improved turbo design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/Mazda-3-turbo-performance-parts\/2021-newer-mazda-3-turbo-parts-upgrade\/mazda-3-turbo-hybrid-turbo-upgrade-compressor.jpg\" alt=\"Best CorkSport Mazda 3 Turbo Upgrade with Larger Turbine\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Hybrid Compressor Wheel (left) 50.4mm Inducer &amp; 63.3mm Exducer with extended tip vs OEM ~43mm Inducer &amp; ~56mm Exducer<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/Mazda-3-turbo-performance-parts\/2021-newer-mazda-3-turbo-parts-upgrade\/mazda-3-turbo-hybrid-turbo-upgrade-turbine.jpg\" alt=\"OEM Mazda 3 Turbo extruder and inducer\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Hybrid Turbine Wheel (left) 50.2mm Inducer &amp; 45.5mm Exducer vs OEM ~47mm Inducer &amp; ~41mm Exducer<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Issues of a Hybrid Turbo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the first steps we took was building a \u201chybrid\u201d OEM turbo to see how that would perform vs the OEM turbo.&nbsp; A hybrid turbo means an OEM turbo that has been modified to use larger than OEM wheels.&nbsp; Above you can see the larger compressor and turbine wheels next to the OEM wheels.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our testing showed some potential with a \u201chybrid\u201d setup turbo, but there were still limitations to the power potential.&nbsp; We saw a bit slower spool and a bit more mid-range power potential, but top-end power was still struggling to hold.&nbsp; Granted this was very early in the tuning developments for the platform.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A major concern we had was around the hybrid turbo, was the reliability and further cracking of the OEM housing once it was modified for the larger wheels.&nbsp; The OEM turbine housing is very small, specifically the turbine scroll which is the <strong>most critical part<\/strong> of the turbine housing.&nbsp; The OEM housing just didn\u2019t have a lot of extra material to work with (remove) to safely accommodate a larger turbine wheel.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/Mazda-3-turbo-performance-parts\/2021-newer-mazda-3-turbo-parts-upgrade\/mazda-3-turbo-hybrid-turbo-reliability.jpg\" alt=\"Mazda 3 Turbo Inlet Housing reliability \"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out this image of the turbine housing after it was machined to accept the larger turbine wheel.&nbsp; The thin edge marked by the blue arrows is very thin due to removing so much material.&nbsp; This area of the turbine funnels the exhaust gases into the turbine wheel inducer and directly affects the efficiency of the wheel.&nbsp; Had we machined any more material for a larger wheel, we would have started to affect how the exhaust gases enter the turbine wheel.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/Mazda-3-turbo-performance-parts\/2021-newer-mazda-3-turbo-parts-upgrade\/mazda-3-turbo-housing-cracking-inlet.jpg\" alt=\"OEM Mazda 3 Turbo housing crack for inlet pipe\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the image above, the inlet divider inside the turbine housing is cracking.

In my personal opinion, turbines make power and compressors just support the required flow.&nbsp; So what are we doing on the turbine side of things to make more power?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several changes have been applied on the turbine side to increase performance and reliability.&nbsp; Here are the CorkSport (left) and OEM (right) turbine housings next to each other.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/Mazda-3-turbo-performance-parts\/2021-newer-mazda-3-turbo-parts-upgrade\/mazda-3-drop-in-turbo-upgrade-turbine-housing-size.jpg\" alt=\"CorkSprot Masda 3 Turbo Drop-in Turbo Upgrade Design\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Our goal is to develop a turbo that is fun, responsive, and carries power like you would expect.&nbsp;&nbsp;Referencing the blue lines you can see a drastic difference in the size of the turbine housing scroll.&nbsp; While the CS design is a large increase in size over OEM, it is not \u201cbigger\u201d than a typical aftermarket generic fitment turbo &#8211; highlighting just how tiny and limiting the OEM turbine housing really is.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now let\u2019s take a look inside the housing so you can understand what is changing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/Mazda-3-turbo-performance-parts\/2021-newer-mazda-3-turbo-parts-upgrade\/mazda-3-drop-in-turbo-cs-cutaway.jpg\" alt=\"2021 Mazda 3 drop in turbo CorkSport cutaway design \"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An Improved Design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Both turbines (CS &amp; OEM) are single scroll designs, but you will notice two major differences.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly, the spiral section of the CS design is drastically larger than OEM; this is the true \u201cscroll\u201d of the housing and thus the section of the housing that funnels the exhaust gas into the turbine wheel.&nbsp; We changed two aspects of the scroll design:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The \u201cswallowing capacity\u201d of the scroll has been increased so that the peak flow capacity of the turbine is much greater than OEM. This is the cross-sectional area at the beginning of the scroll shown by the blue arrow.&nbsp;<\/li><li>The scroll A\/R (Area\/Radius) has been increased from 0.53 to 0.71.&nbsp; This ratio number affects how \u201cquickly\u201d the exhaust gas is forced into the turbine wheel.&nbsp; The smaller ratio is a faster spool but poor top-end power and a larger is slower spool but more top-end power.&nbsp; The goal here is to find the right balance of spool\/response and top-end power.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, you may have noticed the CS turbo is missing the red blocky section that the OEM turbo has.&nbsp; It&#8217;s missing for good reason.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/Mazda-3-turbo-performance-parts\/2021-newer-mazda-3-turbo-parts-upgrade\/mazda-6-turbo-awd.jpg\" alt=\"Mazda 6 Turbo AWD Example \"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the above image, you can see the OEM turbo with the turbo on the right and the dynamic pressure valve on the left.&nbsp; <a href=\"https:\/\/mazdausa.com\" title=\"\">Mazda<\/a> uses this control valve to help spool the turbo below 2000 RPM and it seems to do the job, but it has cracking issues from what we\u2019ve seen and is going to be a huge flow restriction on higher power setups.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are getting rid of it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/Mazda-3-turbo-performance-parts\/2021-newer-mazda-3-turbo-parts-upgrade\/mazda-3-turbo-upgrade-no-dynamic-valve.jpg\" alt=\"Mazda 3 turbo upgrade without the dynamic valve\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Pursuit of Reliable Performance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the pursuit of performance and reliability, the dynamic valve and its housing had to go.&nbsp; Like the OEM turbine housing, we\u2019ve seen cracks forming in the dynamic valve housings so we know they are a reliability issues and Mazda knows as well.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mazda is also getting rid of the dynamic valve system\u2026the <a href=\"https:\/\/corksport.com\/mazda-cx-50\/\" title=\"\">CX50 Turbo <\/a>has a much simpler twin-scroll turbo design with no dynamic valve and I assume that change will find its way into all 2.5T models sooner, rather than later.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/Mazda-3-turbo-performance-parts\/2021-newer-mazda-3-turbo-parts-upgrade\/mazda-3-turbo-upgrade-dynamic-valve-housing.jpg\" alt=\"Mazda 3 Dynamic Valve Housing Prototype for 2021+ Mazda 3 Turbo\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To keep things as simple as possible for you, the enthusiast, the CorkSport-designed turbine housing mounts directly to the cylinder head and still takes advantage of Mazda\u2019s trick 4-3-1 exhaust port design.&nbsp;
