Re: Clutch kit for KLZE swap

As far as clutches go for the KLZE swap you want to get a mx-6 clutch, its a little larger in diameter compaired to the mx-3. You will want to get a heavy duty kit as well. Like a stage one or two. Clutchmasters, ACT Bully are all good brands. I just finished my KLZE swap back in december. I bought ...

Re: ecu help

There are 4 bolts all together. 2 in the front and two right behind the ECU. Here is the diagram i used to remove my ECU when i was checking to see if it could be chipped http://mx-3.com/manuals/photo.php?file=/1992%20Workshop%20Manual/F2/92_F2-143.gif&download=1" onclick="window.open(...

Re: KLZE swap DONE!

Yes i installed the pluming for the EGR. I plugged the EGR port on the intake manifold and used the EGR port on the rear header.

Re: KLZE swap DONE!

I put 150 miles on the car today with out any hitch. I finished hooking up the rest of the exhaust this morning and decided it was time to put it through an endurance test. I drove up to my grand parents house which is about 65 miles away. I was doing 70-75 mph the whole way with no issues. The car ...

KLZE swap DONE!

I just wanted to update my progress on my KLZE swap. I posted a few weeks ago a thread with KLZE questions and got a lot of support from fellow members. I just finished the swap in my 1992 MX-3 K8 with 266k miles on it with a super clean and fresh KLZE. I have to say i am very happy with the end res...

WTB Chip-able K8 ECU

I have a 92 mx-3 and turns out i forgot about checking my ECU before doing the swap. I have a perfectly good and working K8 ECU that is not chip-able.

I am looking for someone that has a spare chip-able K8 ecu. The ECU needs to come from a 93-94 OBD-I mx-3

PM me if you have one

Thanks

Re: What engine did i just buy/KLZE build thread

So are you saying for the EGR that i bolt it to the engine block, hook up the electrical wires, but the all the other lines like the vacuum and such i should plug on the EGR and just route the lines past the EGR instead of through the EGR, does that make since?

You can call for prices but the KLZE's are 899$ plus shipping and any tax, being in oregon you wont have tax, just the motor and shipping costs.
