Motor mount KLZE swap

Post by Buddha »

I plan on doing a KLZE swap on my GS standard mx-3. Proving hard to find a true curved neck KLZE engine with the correct head codes so might just get the straight neck and just get a curved neck seperately (anyone have one that has all the pieces I need on it?) I plan on getting some upgraded motor mounts and from what people are saying if I wanna go with AWR the front ones need to be from a probe. Do the rear ones need to be from a probe as well, if not which one do I need for the rear. Also what is benefits of putting a softer durometer in. They offer a choice of 88 or 95 why go with the softer one? Thanks for the input guys.

Front probe, rear mx3. The rear probe mount is different. You can also use the mx3 front, but you will need some washers to compensate for the gap they create between the mounting point on the tranny. Go with the probe front/mx rear combo

I'm not sure why you would want a softer durometer - I have 88 in my ZE and it's fine... I actually would want the tighter response in all my mx-3's going forward

AWR seems real popular but it depends on how hard you want your mounts to be. I have the mazdaspeed mounts because they are stiff but not as stiff as AWR which means alot less vibration. I personaly love my Mazdaspeed mounts, they work great and I dont have any transfer of vibration to my car.
