KL-ZE advise and opinions

[PSE95]

Hello, I am new to MX-3's I don't even have one, but I am very interested in purchasng one. Now, I have a 95 Ford Probe and I love it! I was looking for another car to keep in the garage and work on over the months and I fell in love with MX-3. Anyway, I want to some info first hand (I already searched) about the KL-ZE engine. I was thinkin about buying a crappy mx-3 GS and working from there. I just need to know whether KL-ZE is better than the 4 cylinder turbo. I need opinions, thank you! -JD <P> I know my share about KL-ZE by being a probe owner, I just need to hear from people who have done this! Thanks!

that is tough turbos have more potential with nitrous but the everyday drivability sucks a-- <P> at least with the ze you get lots of torque out of the bigger smoother 2.5L + less turbos to rebuild [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img]

So it sounds like the ZE is a better decision, and easier to install??? Does it drop into a regular model(not GS?) I am interested on all reviews and opinions you all have! Thanks so much!!! I would like to hear from both Ze and Turbo owners!!!

IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU WANT YOUR CAR TO DO<P><BR>THE ZE SWAP IS SO EASY ITS STUPID BUT THE <BR>TURBO HAS THE POTENTIAL OF BEING A 12-10 SEC.<BR>CAR<P>iF i WERE TO DO IT ALL AGAIN I WOULD SOURCE <BR>OUT NISSAN SYVIA WITH THE 300HP 300ZX MOTOR<BR>BECAUSE I HATE THE FRONT WHEEL DRIVE

ON THE ZE YOU CHANGE ONE of the manifolds with the k8<P>air flow meter from 2.5L a or j-spec<BR> keep the k8 flywheel<BR> <BR>Instal 2.5l clutch(minor mod to pressure plate)<P>cut front mount down 1"<P>raise rear mount up 1"<P><BR>install hose extention on intake<P><BR>in a nutshell<P><BR>buy better motor mounts while you have the out
