[se7en]

okay, I guess I can add myself to this list.

I have a 1992 mx-3 ; canadian edition.

I did the mtx swap with an exedy clutch.
(works awesome btw)

EDIT: no it doesn't, it's junk.

factory cd stereo(sic)

EDIT: 10"infinity, mtx amp, kenwood hideaway deck now.

oh yeah, the turbo stuff is what you are interested in I guess

t3/t04e ebay turbo
ss autochrome pipes(fit like OJ's glove)
fart can muffler
1st gen DSM BOV
external wastegate 7-8psi(Turbosmart)
K&N air filter
aem UEGO a/f wideband
GReddy boost guage(metric)
Earls AN fittings for oil drainback.
ebay oil feed and drain kit
I think that's it. nothing special, just a rocket car.
(well, it does have the external msd blaster II, and HEI mod too)
Also, I made a custom piggyback fuel control, but I have the MSnS on order.

EDIT: I built and install the Megasquirt. It is awesome.

no more wierd engine problems.

Who said that ebay turbo's are crappy....mine has over 15000kms on it already.

EDIT:20,000 kms

Nice mod list cjthor, any more updates from the other guys?

I have a couple things planned but have been busy lately, hopefully I will do an update soon.

[osargeant]

Where are the updates guys, I am sure there have been some new turbo guys since this post was created.

[se7en]

I update my earlier post instead of making a new one if that helps...

16' Fins i picked up from my homie

I know i'm missing alot for this kit. I'm new to mazda so i really don't know a lot yet but i'm looking around and asking alot of questions. I was about to give up on this car til my mother inlaw said to keep it up. I think she want to drive it....lol so she's trying to help me out as much as possible. So if there's anything i stil need to get can you guy's help me out. Also i think i blow my pis rings would it be better to repair it or get a new motor i wanna stay ture to the 1.6L i'll go as high as a 1.8L. I have pix of my work on my myspace...i know it kinda gay but i as proud of the work i've done myself

[Egfconnor]

how reliable is that setup spidy??

[spidy53red]

I'ts gone well for me so far i just don't boost high numbers yet i'm still boosting at 5. I really don't want the turbo kit i brough it to help my friend out.

[Egfconnor]

ah i see...fair enough, do you like the power it has now??

[Shades]

I can't list everything I've done to my motor, but I've done everything possible to prep it for boost...

For boosting, I have a Garrett GT3071R with a twin scroll housing and a custom manifold.

Check out my thread in my signature for pictures of the build from beginning to near the end.

[spidy53red]

The power gain is great but i really should have done my homework on my engine because i found out it was a really bad motor to begin with and it need to be rebuild so now I'm looking to find a new motor but I wanna stay with the B6de. The funny thing is everywhere i go to find a new motor they tell me i have a B6ZE and that they don't carry this motor. I really don't know what I have. I'm a honda guy that jumped in to Mazda. So I'm a noob to Mazda all together.
