Quad-turbo Mazda 323 hits the dyno

A few weeks ago, the mad scientists at Life OD created a monster, the world’s first quad-turbocharged Mazda 323.

Using possibly the dodgiest set-up ever, boost is fed to the engine through rubber piping with each cylinder responsible for spooling a single turbo.

Without the turbochargers, the four banger produced a whopping 48kW (64hp), but with forced induction it pushed out more, right?

Yes... A whole 3kW more.

Obviously not satisfied with the results, a shot of NOS was added, so surely the power would jump to 100, 150, maybe even 200kW?

While it made a difference, the figure was still a miserable 68kW (90hp), which is less than a 1.6-litre BJ 323 made when it was new in the late ‘90s.

Do you think this 323 is capable of more? Let us know in the comments.
