Exactly, moving the steering wheel a small amount will transfer more turning to the wheels on a GS as opposed to an RS. Faster turning.

i found topics with swaping the KL-ZE but I didn`t find any of swapping BPT ?

I am gonna buy an RS mx and so I must search for BPT, and it will be very helpfull if I look at few examples of swapping BPT.

Righto, here's the BPT swap info

but if you intend on doing this i seriously suggest reading through ALL the 4cyl FAQ first...., people can get kinda grumpy round here



actually, what happened to David Coleman? anyone???

I have an RS and GS. There is an AMAZING difference between the two! not just "A little better" but a large differentiating gap.



Also, I've been talking to a friend at work who owns a MX-6 and a Ford Probe, so he's heavily into the KL series engines and knows quite a lot about them. (PROOOOOOBE!)

There are some new kits surfacing that uses the RX-7's sequential turbo setup (smaller turbo combined with a bigger turbo = less turbo lag) for the KL series that are supposedly fantastic. I was talking about it today with him, forgive me if I'm wrong, but I do believe it was SS Autochrome who's going to be designing them.

Of course, the biggest issue I would see is getting them to fit in the ever-so-spacious MX-3 engine bay. But still, the KL has POTENTIAL, however, since it's so amazingly amazing out of the box, many people don't venture on after the swap.

Go with a boosted BP. Just look in the J/Y for a 90-94 protege LX or a 91-96 escort gt. There is a difference between the BPT and Boosted BP.

Boosted BP has 9 to 1 compression pistons and better flowing heads. Need any info I dont mind to help. Biggest issue is wire harness.

here is what you need to start. at least for the turbo stuff.
