Hi, not sure if anyone here has read about it or tried it but I have heard of a few people with mazda V6 engines putting some diesel oil into their car along with normal oil and idling it for 5-10 mins then dropping the oil out. Also heard another similar story about someone who used ATF as it doesn...

Most places do 90 day warranty. Basically warranty is rubbish, they won't usually cover it if you put it in and 2 months down the track it blows up. It's really only good if the engine is screwed right from the get go and won't work.

You guys all over reacting a little here or what? My engine looks worse than ALL of these and it runs fine. Get a grip, it's a used engine you need to rebuild it if you really want a 0 km engine. I know a guy with a ZE probe that looked spotless inside the valve cover. His car had lot's of HLA noise...

Yeah it's an interesting debate isn't it. I actually have three brand new K8 short blocks with pistons and all...

I need to buy another MX-3 and rebuild the heads etc. Would be interesting to test out. Good thing is I have two more blocks if one stuff up

Haha, my mechanic pulled one off an old neon and rocks came out! Big ones, it was VERY strange. like, 1/2" dia rocks... they were definately rocks, not just clumped carbon. Maybe someone hated the person and chucked rocks in there? But then again, it would come out when the exhaust pressures i...

Well:

It has double cubic capacity 5.4L

It has more than double torque @ less revs

It has more than double the power.

I can understand that you'd let it warm up a bit, then start varying the revs, under no load in neutral obviously. Do this for a little bit. Then drive a bit taking it easy. Changing oil fairly often. I think you shouldn't keep it at certain revs for too long. Always vary the revs, it actually says ...

Interesting.... I have the fan problem when the engine is warm. Here's the deal: I have a 1995 MX3, it had only 1 coolant sensor. My KLZE engine had two coolant sensors on it. I used my K8 ECU and the fans did not come on, they worked normally. I found a KL28 MX-6 ECU and got it chipped with a KLZE ...

I might be leaving the intake stock for now but adding a K&N filter at some stage. Dunno if that will even increase power at all but K&N is better than the paper filter in there at the moment lol. I'll set my TPS once the fan problem has been solved. I heard that the TPS can make a fair diff...

Ok I admit I did go to about 5,500 on one short burst but I did not feel any extra surge of power. It felt flat all the way. Still have to make sure a few more things are ok though before I judge it. Are you running a stock exhuast, intake, headers? Just opening up the exhaust may release more of t...

Change spark plugs, and leads first. Do an oil and oil filter change while you're at it. Then change gearbox oil, redline MT-90 is good for our boxes. Adjust idle and maybe TPS. Do some searching here to find out how, there should be a plentiful amount of info on those things. May indeed be a bad ge...

I got a KL28 chipped

ROFL @ the car making fun with STi, GS-T, DOHC, V-TEC, TRD, written on it

Wow we both have similar year MX-3's, which are both red, both have ZEs in them and now you have an MX-6 also, just like me! :love2: :P I got my MX-6 about 3-4 months ago to get me around while doing the ZE swap on the Mx-3. Is yours a KLDE or 4CLY? If it's the 2.5 I'd be interested to know what you...
