Post by TedLeeper »

do you know everything you're going to need for the 4cyl-6cyl swap? as for the turbo, he's correct. any turbo will fit. what he didn't tell you is that you have to find a way to install it.(custom manifold). as for the cooling system, you'll need an intercooler, either air or liquid. find the i/c you want, then have a shop run the piping. also, you'll need a bov. there's a lot of work involved in a custom setup. good luck.

The turbo MX-6 isn't the V6 engine, it is the 4cyl. The actual setup on the mx-6 will not swap. I'm sure some of the components will be able to be used, but you will need to buy more also.

Again I will have to say My Bad. I appologize for the misunderstanding. <BR>In that case, will the 2.0L MX-6 turbo engine fit in the 4cyl MX-3? I have no experience on it. If so, wouldn't it just be smarter to swath the entire engine/turbo setup?

I have one here that says $450 per header. Meaning $900. Although on the KLZE since it is a V6 engine, if you want a "turbo header" you would need a TT setup. Otherwise you would just need to route piping from the stock headers to a "Y" pipe, then weld a flange on there to fit the turbo. Make sure the pipes are equal length tho.
