We need to see more FE3's in MX-3's!
We need to see more FE3's in MX-3's!
I've come to the conclusion that we need this motor:
In a lot more of these cars:
I was reading this page:
http://members.aol.com/solomiata/FE3.html
and became instantly fascinated with the motor. Of course, then we have our fellow CrAzY Puerto Rican who did put this motor in the car and built up quite a hype:
http://www.mx-3.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.ph ... hlight=fe3
http://www.mx-3.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.ph ... 3&&start=0
There was a lot of discussion about this engine back around '02-'04 but it seems to have died. There was even a lot of inquiry on our forum board.
Such as the thread where custommx3 was accusing the FE3 of being a bad idea:
http://www.mx-3.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.ph ... hlight=fe3
Definitely, definitely need to see any more MX-3's with this baby in it!
I know Bocheck is putting a F2t in his car, or is at least planning on it
Is there anyone else who's venturing modding their car with something besides the usual BP?
It would be a breath of fresh air to hear of some out-of-the-ordinary swaps going on!
Rafi's shown us what a FE3 can do, I would LOVE to see what a bored-out boosted-to-crap 2.3L FE3 is capable of!

I have never said anything, cuz I know I'll get raped in here when I do, but I have been planning for a long time now a very ambitious project.
I saw a guy in Germany had taken an Audi TT and shoehorned a second engine in the trunk, turbo'd both and is putting 1000BHP through a off road transfer case from Audi's Rally R&D cars.
I plan to cut out the rear floor and build a firewall behind the front seats. I have modeled and there is more than enough room for a second B6 in the cargo area. I am in the process of designing a modular rear subframe which will tie into the firewall. I spent a summer working for a master mechanic while I was finishing my Eng. degree and just through discussion I think I have figured out the major issues.
I will use B6's with a mild turbo boost, say 8 -10 psi. I figure with 2 that gives me in the neighborhood of 400Hp. It will take me several years and a rediculous amount of money, but it'll be the only one of its kind and I think I can probably get a few patents out of it.
Sounds crazy I know.

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

I have done most of the design work already. I work as a technical advisor for an oilfield service rig builder. It's really just a question of money. All the fabrication and manufacturing equipment is at my disposal. Once I knew that I wanted to own my MX-3 for ever...I could easily justify the expense. But honestly it'll take a few years to make it happen.
