Ok, so if this is hard, to fit KJ in K8 engine bay because of dimensions what can be done to override this ? If KJ fits to K8 engine mounting bolts then changing profile od the hood should help ? (if the KJ will be to high) So how this tunning group will do this ? They gave me the price of the modif...

Does someone know what are the maximum values which stock MX-3 can held HP,torque? "From experience, news from buddys etc." Like gearbox and others ? For example what maximum "safe" power can I put to my stock K8 ? Stock parameters are 130HP, 157Nm torque, 200HP and 250Nm is reso...

Hello, I received today reply from one of our (Polish) tunning groups. Just in basic translation mail has included info: We can install KJ in MX-3 for 400$, KJ and K8 have the same engine mounting points(bolts). You can leave yours stock MX-3 gearbox. The rest of the elements should be from KJ. Now ...

Hello, well I'm in the bad situation, it seems that:
I cannot purchase KJ (to difficult to swap)
I cannot purchase KL-ZE in Europe (to expensive 1600 euro for engine + ECU)
Turbo/SC installation providing to small boost, max 200HP from 1.8K8

Just a task update, when I started the engine after the night the temp. gauge was in position MIN, after about 60 seconds the pointer has moved smoothly to the MAX (it took 30sec). So probably this is not the short to ground it was in the MIN possition for a while. I will check it for shorts anyway,...

Hello, I probably have problem with termosensor. When I turn the ignition ON temperature meter is going to MAX even when engine is cold. I don't know which one of the 3 "bolts with cables" near the fill cap is the termosensor. I've done some tests, I've removed cables from all three "...

The reason why i mentioned about KJ is simple. I cannot obtain any KL-ZE in my home country (Poland) sometimes there is a single KL-ZE in Germany for 1400 euro without ECU! it's a joke. I don't know nobody in US who can help me with finding KL-ZE in a good condition. KJ is the engine which I can pur...

Hi, will the KJ engine fit the MX-3 like KL-ZE ?

Hello, i want to install a SC on my K8 Mazda MX-3. M90 gains about 60HP but i cannot find any info about how much it takes ? I know that M45 is more suitable for a 1.8 engine but ... 25HP gain is not worth of mention. PS. If i will buy KL-ZE and do the swap and I will leave stock MTX the KL36 ECU wi...

Hello I'm interested in purchasing KL-ZE engine with ECU. Finding one in the internet is not so hard but... I'm living in Poland... so the shipping of the engine from US + tax will make the price twice time bigger. There is also another issue the Poland has joined EU so importing the engine from one...

My MX-3 is from '92, i didn't find this kind of information in shop manual only dashboard electrical diagrams and wiring.

Hello i have little problem.
I wonder how many pulses per meter mazda provided in their counter. Fiat published that in their counters its 16 pulses per meter.
I need this information for establising ratio for pulses per second. The counters have only model number PLH30B made by INC company.

I've readed all swap related web pages (K8->KL-ZE) but there is no such info like: 1)What is weight diffrence between K8 and KL-ZE ? I think KL-ZE is heavier. If so it is 100KG ? 50KG? 2) What about suspention ? if KL-ZE is heavier this may cause problems with future use (Shocks,Suspention malfuncti...
