The name 2013 MazdaSpeed3 is a bit of a misnomer, instead of a vehicle focused only on speed, this is a well balanced car equally concerned with safety features and touring comforts. With 4-wheel ABS, front, rear and side-mounted airbags, child seat anchors and rear door child safety locks, this is clearly a family friendly ride. However, with stability and traction control, electronic brakeforce distribution, and a 2.3L 4-cylinder turbocharged engine delivering 263 ponies and 280 lb-ft of torque, this intercooled sport compact provides a healthy dose of pure adult quality adrenaline.
Adrenaline fanatics take heed, performance gains are as simple as an AEM Dryflow air filter upgrade. Without question one of the easiest automotive maintenance procedures is replacing the air filter and now when you substitute the factory paper air filter with an AEM 28-20293 reusable air filter, your engine can breathe easier and provide better performance.
AEM achieves this by combining the most successful elements of air filter technology, into an exclusive Dryflow air filter concept that never requires oil. Easy to clean and reuse, the 28-20293 performance air filter will be the last filter you’ll ever buy because it is backed by a lifetime limited warranty. This air filter add less restriction than typical paper air filters while it provides outstanding filtration. Depending on your driving conditions, AEM 28-20293 can go up to 50,000 miles before cleaning is needed. When it’s time to clean your air filter, AEM’s synthetic air filter cleaner is available to quickly dissolve dirt and allow it to be rinsed away with water. It’s that easy.

Kia and Hyundai have done it again. The 2011, 2012 and 2013 Optima and Sonata have created such a buzz in the car world that they are flying off the shelves. Sharing the same power-plant, the Kia and Optima boast a powerful 2.0 liter motor force fed by a twin scroll turbocharger cranking out an impressive 274 horsepower. This is Subaru WRX territory. Both 2013 models were named by the IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) as top safety picks for the 2012 year. The rise to global recognition results in more aftermarket options for the Sonata and Optima. This is where K&N comes into the picture. A globally recognized company as well, K&N wasn’t satisfied with a measly 274 horsepower from these mid-sized sports sedans.
In comes the 69-5309TS air intake system for 2011, 2012 and 2013 Kia Optima and Hyundai Sonata models with the 2.0 liter turbo charged motor. Replacing the restrictive stock air intake system with this free flowing, mandrel bent, aluminum intake system, Optima and Sonata owners can see an estimated 7.6 horsepower increase to the wheels at 4,861 RPM. More horsepower and more torque gives the discerning owner more to play with on the highway. Air intake 69-5309TS provides fittings for the existing blow off valve, EVAP and vent hoses. It comes with a heat shield to block hot engine air and pull in cooler outside air. Owners of Kia Optima and Hyundai Sonata models below are guaranteed to increase horsepower by installing this performance air intake system.
K&N air intake 69-5309TS comes with a high flowing air filter (RF-1048) that protects your motor from harmful dust and contaminants. Performance air filter RF-1048 is washable, reusable and it can perform up to 100,000 miles between cleaning, depending on driving conditions.
Installing a K&N air intake system is pretty easy and only requires a few common hand tools. K&N 69-5309TS comes with detailed installation instructions that take you through each step of the process with photo illustrations from an actual install. Performance air intake system 69-5309TS is also backed by K&N’s legendary Million Mile Limited Warranty.

All APR Performance GT Series wings feature an all-new, low-drag, aerodynamic 2D designed airfoil shape. The “2D” design allows the wing to maintain a consistent level of downforce across its entire span. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis was performed on this wing to support validation of its aerodynamic design. Click here to see the CFD data.
Each GT Series airfoil is composed of lightweight and durable carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite materials. These airfoils contain pre-pregnated woven carbon fiber sheets for superior strength and low weight. All CFRP airfoils are made using pre-pregnated composite manufacturing processes (i.e. high-temperature autoclave and vacuum bagging) in high-quality aluminum billet molds.
Supporting the airfoils are 10mm “aircraft grade” 6061 billet aluminum pedestals that come in a flat black powder coat finish.
Gurney Flaps
Gurney flaps are included and pre-installed with every GT-250 wing. These are super lightweight, made using pre-pregnated carbon fiber processes.
The Gurney flap (a.k.a. wickerbill) is an aerodynamic device that was originally pioneered and developed in the 1970s by a racing driver named Dan Gurney. Unbeknownst to his competition, this device was used to increase downforce while minimizing increase in drag. He found that not only did this device increase the lift/drag (L/D) ratios, it also increased the stalling angles (so he could operate the airfoils at greater pitch angles). It took a few years for everyone else to catch on to its purpose, and now, the Gurney flap (or similar device) can be seen in race cars and even airplanes all over the world.

KraftWerks is proud to announce the much anticipated and long awaited B-Series Race Kit.
Like all KraftWerks supercharger kits, the B-Series Race Kit is based off of the impressive Rotrex supercharger. Rotrex’s patented traction drive technology works unlike any other supercharger, and means that usable power is always available, all the way to redline.
The KraftWerks B-Series Race Kit provides instant throttle response and a progressive power curve that increases all the way to redline without the typical spiking or surging turbochargers are known for. This unique, more useable power curve results in reduced cylinder pressures, less strain on engine components, and increased reliability. Rotrex superchargers also operate much cooler when compared to turbochargers and other supercharger systems, which reduces the engine’s intake air temperature as well as its risk of detonation.
The B-Series Race kit fits all B-Series engine blocks and is designed to work on stock engines. The Race kit includes brackets, a C30-94 Rotrex supercharger, oil cooler, pulley, and fastening hardware. This kit does NOT include piping, intercooler, or fuel management.
Rotrex superchargers are renowned for their compact size, high adiabatic efficiency, low vibration, and quiet operation. Their unique traction drive technology is what makes all of this possible, which, unlike other superchargers, transmits power through frictional forces between its rolling elements. Each Rotrex unit features its own self-contained oiling system that remains independent of the engine. Its dual-action oil pump supplies traction fluid to the supercharger while the supplied cooler ensures proper fluid temperatures at all times.
Included Items:
- Kit REQUIRES Custom Fabrication for Intercooler + Piping and Engine Tuning
- Kit REQUIRES removal of A/C Compressor and Power Steering
- Kit REQUIRES header that has narrow pairing (MegaPower or Alpha Series Header)
- Kit is NOT CARB Approved, and is never to be used on Pollution Controlled Vehicles or Public Highways
*Total Horsepower will be determined by the engine type and build. The total horsepower depends on engine modifications, tuning, weather, altitude, etc. (Typically 250+ hp and 80+ tq)
Recommended Modifications:
- Upgraded Clutch
- Grams Fuel Injectors
- Grams Fuel Pump
