How do I know which one is which? We're looking for the one that doesn't have the T-fitting, I think.

Forgot to post this. Our car made it onto the bbc.com website

Car is being pushed because of dirt in the gas tank.

We have a KLDE swapped into our lemons mx3. The lower radiator hose is needing to be replaced. We went to the store to look for one, but the 1.8L V6 lower radiator hoses don't match what's on the car (ours has a lot more bends). The one on the car has the numbers "U234 49602" on it, but a ...

Since the MX-3 has a horrible weight distribution of 65 / 35. What would you guys think i could maybe do to get it close to 50/50.I was thinking carbon hood and battery to the trunk :shrug: I know it will never be on the spot but it can be close. Or for a FWD do you think 50/50 distribution is bad?...

do you have anymore clean/different angles of your brake cooling setup?? I don't have much. Here's another one from the top: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7131/7825101972_de7ca2772e.jpg Most teams just use a "ram air" type system to cool their brakes. We did the same thing, but it didn't ...

Even though our car is reasonably fast, the judges put us in class B, since we've been plagued with ignition troubles and engine failures ever since the car was first put on the track. And the judges were right; we blew up the motor even before the start of the race. Apparently the oil got pretty h...

For this past race, we decided to go with a "Simon in the Land of Chalk Drawings" theme: http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8297/7819949202_0a3f5cca64_n.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8296/7819964486_54d762c3e6_n.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7257/7819973730_87f2a0fb9d_n.jpg http://farm9...

That's exactly the problem, usually happenens in #6. These motors do not deal with low oil pressure well at all. Are you guys constantly running a low pressure for some reason? One fix is to shim the oil pump for more pressure, another is to use a Corvette ZR1 oil filter; bigger and increases the p...

So we raced again back in March with our KLDE-powered mx3. We blew the motor on the track day, before the race even started, and ended up doing a motor swap Friday night before the race. Team Turbo Schnitzel came up to us in the middle of the afternoon on Saturday and said, "hey, we heard you h...

I have a chippable ecu for which I purchased a probinator chip a few years ago. However, I never installed it. Now probinator's hotmail address seems to no longer work. I see a few performance chips on ebay, but they all raise the rev limit (I'm not too keen on doing that for an endurance race). Whe...

Think about it this way. If we didn't rescue those motors from the junkyard, they would get crushed and scrapped. It's sorta like giving a patient chemo; poison the patient, but maybe he'll live a little bit longer.

The cap works, but the engine still breaks up when I make quick changes to the throttle.

What could cause this?

Nice pics! I think I have a slightly different cap than you. I walked away for a while to cool off and when I got back I checked continuity. There's still continuity between both of the original connectors. So I drilled a smaller hole next to the larger one and screwed the bolt in there. A 9/64"...

Our little mx3 now has 5 races under its belt and we're doing number 6 in September. We're on our third motor now. The DE failed in the same way the ZE did (bearings), before the last race even started. As a result, we were worn out from spending all night swapping the motor before we got to the fin...
