Limegreen MX-3 - 92 MX-3 RS

Limegreen mx-3 · Post by **Limegreen mx-3** » October 3rd, 2006, 11:17 pm

For this project i am trying to do a all-motor setup with a 92 mazda mx-3 RS with the 1.8 dohc bp with a 2000 kia trans with a mazda bell houseing.

The propose of this is to make a simple track car only and seeing what kind on times or how much power the BP can make it its OEM state. when i can no longer make it go any faster them comes biulding it up to compete with the honda All motor. This is a project that will take time am thinking 3years to be where i want to be. the goal for right nowis to have a low 14 sec BP MX-3 but the long term goal is to be around 250-300whp and al least a high 9 low 10 sec all motor BP MX-3.

Car Black 1992 Mazda MX-3 RS

Engine Bay Specs=

Bone Stock 1.8 DOHC BP Stock Internals
Eletromotive TEC II
330 cc injecters
Walbro 190
Unorthdox UDP
Custom header made by Pro AM
ACT pressure plate stock disc
F-series trans for now

Strip interior no AC/PS nothing under the dash only a seat and where ever i can loose weight for a all motor project.

working on the 2000 Kia sohpie trans changeinmg out the bell houseing since it will not bolt up to the BP. So i am using a mazda LX trans bell housing so tha i can use the 2000 kia trans.

Here are some pic

This is my all motor BP project I am still working on my turbocharged SOHC project which i will post another worklog on the TURBO SOHC PROJECT

The White MX-3 is the Turbo SOHC Project & the Black MX-3 is the All Motor BP Project

Well this is the 92 Mazda MX-3 i saved from a family that abuse it and well just didn't care about the MX-3 in anyway I got her for $300 bucks. I knew she need some work to be street legal again but things change and i decide to turn her into a track car for my own personal fun race use.

It needs some work I need a front bumper and driver side mirror but it will get done in time. here are some pic on the exterior interior and engine bay.

Black 1992 Mazda MX-3 RS that i am doing my all-motor BP project she needs some work but it will be a TRACK MX-3 ONLY

Pic of my 1bar map sensor

This is my old BP from my white MX-3 its bolted up to the f-series trans for now untill the kia/mazda trans is done

When the TEC II is installed the dissy and coil pack will be removed as well as the nasty VAF hahaha

another pis of the engine bay

Talk about gutted strip interior wonder how much she'll weight when its up and running

So is the back

what ever i didn't need under tha dash i took out i got a lot of junk in the MX-3 which will come to use in time.

Well Boris i have two MX-3 bodys and since i had to swap out my BP from my white MX-3 and put back the 1.6 sohc i decide to put the bp in my black MX-3. slap a standalone strip it and have fun at the track if i break it its not my daily and am not stuck without a ride.

why not go all motor with a lighten MX-3 with a BP i have yet to hear a BP MX-3 running low 14 all motor without any Turbo or Bottle i ran a 15.6 with a full interior on my white MX-3. iam broke 24/7 because of the 2 projects iam doing.

But i can get my all motor project up and running a lot faster than the turbo sohc project am still waiting on the GT32 turbo and a trigger kit for the tec II for my timing.

I have heard of one. There is one up here in WA. It is a Covey Junk Yard MX-3. They put a BP in it, Shaved the head, Stripped it, and did some other stuff. I think it ran low 14's or something crazy. I don't remember. But it was cool... I remember seeing a pic somewhere but I don't remember where. They did all lexan windows and a lot of stripping...

Sorry I haven't been on here in a while but good find man. Keep me updated. This Kia Transmission stuff must be spreading like wildfire in this forum lol. If I don't go AWD I might do a kia swap too

. But I think I rather do AWD. Nice phone on the wiper cowl lmao.
