MX-3.com

Out of interest, has anyone heard if its possible to drop in a supercharged KJ miller cycle into an mx3 or equivalent???

ya it is possible, no one has done it yet from what ive heard.

Alot of people inquire but never do, most opt for the ze/de/bpt

just seems unusual no-one has done it considering stock standard it has more k/watts and its about the same price as a KLZE

it's been talked about plenty, it seems that it won't physically fit (too high), someone is bound to do it one day though

Or that that are pure unobtainium

Adelaide Japanese Dismantlers have a complete package w/ gearbox and ecu last time i talked to them. i disregarded it cus i didn't think you could do it. hmm...

i have heard the kj would fit apparently the firewall has to be moved back, and it has clearance issues with the bonnet....and also only automatic transmission bolts up...
im going to check the local wreckers and measure the kj against the ze
and will post up the results...

An after-market hood could probably solve that issue, you think?

Ha! i DID think, alot......! got a good deal on a donor car for my transmission, so i let it be..., heard that one had been put in a Eunos 500, that would be tasty


Hey Dusty, there was a good thread about 6mths ago with heaps of info, look it up....

There is four problems.

The height

the width since both the left and right I/C are bolted to the valve covers and the necessary ducting to the right I/C requires a large amount of space for the volume of air needed to pass through the I/C.

This a Miller Cycle and not a Otto Cycle S/C set up which mean increasing boost is a no-no.

There is a waiting list for these engines. There are so many people with cars with the KJ-S looking for theses engines either because they tried to play with the pulley ratios and blew the engine or just because the S/C setup is a maintanence nigthmare on the engines. Talking to several in the industry and JDM engine importers there is a high number of S/C needs need to be rebuilt some where between 100000 & 180000 km

hey, i have decided to go with the flow and take the easy road. ZE it is
