HAHA, I snuck into a local shop where there is a NICE klze mx3 that is getting a turbo and FMIC etc. fitted, noone knows about the car but I took some spy pics... Might be interesting considering where the turbo is mounted...its different. He also has a full FX designs kit and a INSANE stereo...Enjoy.

Any questions? post and I will try to answer.

Looks like a pretty small turbo.. it dosent look much bigger than a stock gtx turbo it should still give good power though...
I was looking at his pipes thinking how he got all that mounted on there then I realized that he has his bumper support taken off.. It works for the time being but get in a little fender bender and all that aluminum will be crushed like a tin can.. I never even gave it any thought until I got in a small accident with mine because I remember thinking about taking mine out. If that wasent there the car would be written off no doubt..
Looks cool though.. Im intrested in how much power it will make.
Its no one on this forum? Strange... He must be one of those guys that comes on as a guest and takes info without giving anything back.

How do people find out about swaps but never visited Mx-3.com?

Yea..weird eh...well he went into the shop and asked them what was available. and the company he got his motor from (me 2 here right quick) installed if for him i think with the proper VAF and ECU combo etc. He doesnt know mechanics lol this setup is done by the shop...for really cheap i must add (2K CAD) lol, I dont think it will last.

I knew about the swap when I bought my car in 2000. That was before I even knew about this site. I did some researching at some jdm engine places while buying an engine for a friends civic

A T25 is even too small for the K8 V6...

Am I the only one who noticed that it looked like a K8 IM and not one of the ZE IM's?
