Re: I GOT A MX-3 4CYL AND CAN I SWAP IT WITH A KL-ZE OR WITH WAT
Holy Crap,
It sounds like your into drifting. I've had a lot of experience in this area, let me suggest a few simple upgrades.
First off, the 4cyl is plenty of power for drifting, you might consider a nice big scoop on the hood to get just a little more air into there. I've seen some nice ones at Canadian tire. Also cut off your exhaust at the headers and you'll be good to go.
Front wheel drive cars face a few challenges in the drift scene since they can't actually get the back wheels spinning. The easiest way to get around this is to remove the back tires. Thats right, just take them off. Metal doesn't grip concrete very well and will enable to you slide around just like DK from Tokyo Drift.
Seriously though, read the FAQs on the forum, they should answer all your questions. I'll point you in the right direction by saying if you want to do an engine swap on your 4 cylinder, your probably interested in the BP-T.

Re: I GOT A MX-3 4CYL AND CAN I SWAP IT WITH A KL-ZE OR WITH WAT
yes, the KL-ZE should drop right in. It should give you about 250 whp, and if you boost it, you'll get at least 375. That should be plenty of power to get that rear end sliding around

hahahaha- Not sure who that n00b is ^^^ , but he is wrong. KL-ZE is good for 160-170 WHP N/A, not 250.the_anj wrote:yes, the KL-ZE should drop right in. It should give you about 250 whp, and if you boost it, you'll get at least 375. That should be plenty of power to get that rear end sliding around

Re: I GOT A MX-3 4CYL AND CAN I SWAP IT WITH A KL-ZE OR WITH WAT
it was a joke...I figured if he wants a serious answer, there's a search function.
as for drifting, it might be kind of cool to rig up some sort of metal skis that would let the back end slide around without having to wreck a set of rims

Re: I GOT A MX-3 4CYL AND CAN I SWAP IT WITH A KL-ZE OR WITH WAT
if you want to go drifting in your mx-3 you can do a simple mod that lasts for a very short session.
1. Insert piece of wood under each rear tire.
2. Pull e-brake up
3. DRIFT!!!

My friend paul and I used particle board (safer and legal).
Roll your rear tires on the boards, ebrake it... drift when the boards are gone, release your ebrake, roll off the boards.
