Ok Ive just brought an 92 MX3 GS with a KLDE motor in it and its running a straight neck manifold from a used KLZE. Anyway I had a few questions both about the engine and on some body modifications.
1.)I know how the potent KLZE is straight out of the box but before I decide to get one, is there any way I can add more power without the use of nitrous? I know that adding a intake and exhaust is a start but I want to know more, possibly if theres anyway to get my bottom end up? Any types of forced induction i.e turbos or super chargers anyone can recomend?
2.)If I do go with the option of adding the KLZE what would I need to get started, and what kind of ECU and engine mounts would I need? Also are there any modifications I can source?
3.)As for the outside I saw the mazdaspeed front bumper, where would I find one along with a front lip?
4.)Finally I saw the carbon fiber hatch for the MX3. I guessing its pretty new but I had no luck in finding one for mine. Does anybody know where would I find one along with a price?
If anyone of other carbonfiber pieces I can add both inside the car and out can you let me know?
Thanks for the help, any infomation would be appreciated.
p.s:sorry if this post went on too long.

Start by getting the ZE and go from there, but really, without spending a good chunk of cash going with an all-motor setup, you can get maybe 200whp out of it with some minor internal mods like cams, pistons and megasquirt.Drifterx wrote: 1.)I know how the potent KLZE is straight out of the box but before I decide to get one, is there any way I can add more power without the use of nitrous?

His worklog will give you a good idea:

Buddy, you need to search around just a little bit, cause those questions are asked literally a few times a week. Just to say tho, that the K8, DE and ZE are all installed as such, do there's nothing special doing to a ZE.Drifterx wrote: 2.)If I do go with the option of adding the KLZE what would I need to get started, and what kind of ECU and engine mounts would I need?

Well, first you need to let us know where you live (or put it in your profile), we're not going to tell you where to buy a part if it's on the other side of the world compared to you. Secondly, talk to Oscar (EZ_4_FUN), he's the only that organized of the manufacturing of the CF hatch, and he can also get body kit parts, including the MazdaSpeed bumper. FYI, he's based in Toronto, Ontario.Drifterx wrote: 3.)As for the outside I saw the mazdaspeed front bumper, where would I find one along with a front lip?
