PAC Performance<\/a> gifted this Mazda RX-3 a robust powertrain. It starts with their Street FD 13BT engine package<\/a> capable of 600+ hp (441+ kW) to the wheels. The motor features new rotor housings, Garrett G42 turbocharger, custom exhaust manifold, and Elite intake with drive-by-wire throttle body. Producing that level of power requires three Walbro pumps and 2000 cc injectors controlled by a Motec M130 ECU. PAC Performance backs the two-rotor with a C4 three-speed automatic transmission and Ford 9-inch rear end with billet axles. Behind the Simmons OM1 19-inch wheels are Wilwood four-piston brakes front and rear. PAC Performance upgraded the interior with Recaro Sportster CS front seats and a custom rear bench covered in leather. In front of the driver is a Momo steering wheel with paddle shifters and Motec C127 digital display. PAC Performance made a custom Savannah gauge cluster with digital displays in each pod.<\/p>\n
