I think that if I have enough cash and availability to the parts I´d rather go for a blend of all those parts and build a really fast engine!!</STRONG><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>The ZE cams will outperform the DE cams. The ZEs arent NEARLY *that* wild. They still idle fine, and dont have crazy amounts of overlap. ZE cams for ALL KLs should be mandatory

Also, the curved neck KLZE manifold from a Millenia will be the best OEM intake manifold for a turbo KLZE MX-3. Also, removing or disabling the VRIS has been known to help under boost for 2.5L V6's, to the tune of 15whp+.

ProtegeSTS:<BR>Any idea where we can get custom I.M´s, or who may fabricate them?<BR>I like the idea of getting custom I.M´s, but dont know where to start looking.

why the hell would u want 300+ hp in a FWD car is beyond me. can u say torque steer? why don't u just sell the mx-3 and save the $5000.00 for the TT and buy an rx-7 or mr-2 or a miata? FWD tranny are not made to handle this and before u know it u will be spending way more in making it work right.<P>just my canadian 2 cents <P>PS. not to take anything away from the mx-3, it is a great car but it was made to be a quick car not fast.

AND you can't have a quick car without torque. Turbo's are an excellent way to get more torque, and with 300+HP then he'd have a similar torque figure. Fast is top end, quick is low end.

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by lazzyie:<BR><STRONG>well you could run as much hp as you want, but the tranny cant hold over ~300 so you will have to get a custom built lsd transmission, go read the forced induction section on probetalk but please dont ask any questions because they will kill you</STRONG><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>wait if he got the Tranny that comes with the ZE then he would be ok, u wouldnt have to get a custom build Tranny

Only very few of the tranny's that came with the ZE are LSD, the one I got is just a stock type MX6. 5-6 psi on a ze is most definitely NOT out of the question. I'm working on supercharging mine right now with a mercedes Eaton M62 SC with clutch. <P>Don't buy from TKT turbo's, I had his turbo kit before...was quick, but inconsistent and looked to have been welded by 2 blind monkeys.<P>I'll be taking a stock ecu and having Jay B (BoostedMX6 on PT) make me a custom chip to run some millennia 280cc injectors. That should keep me just fine with fueling for that psi. <P>BTW- I'm My_Probe_is_faster on probetalk.<P>Nick
