What 1/4mile times with ZE?
What 1/4mile times with ZE?
New to the board. Sorry for a played out question. What are some current times for a ZE swap in an MX-3? I've been thinking of ditching my Probe latley and getting one. For the lighter weight body ya know. I mean I'll hit probably mid 14's with my ZE once it gets in.<P>------------------<BR>Mazda Powered 93SonicProbeGT<BR>AIM:Benkrys

Low 14's. 14.3 at 5,000ft above sea level is what I'm running.<BR>DriversClub<BR>

14 flat at sealevel with the regular bolt ons and a good driver is reasonable...<P>------------------<BR>David Coleman- <B><I>Moderator</B></I><BR><A HREF="http://www.PinkMX-3.com" TARGET=_blank>1993 Mazda MX-3 GS Special Edition</A><BR><B><I>Why get clear tail lights when only Geo Metros are gonna see them?</I></B>

YO! Its ben!<BR> <BR>Sup man. Yeah, basically everyone who swaps in a ZE, whether theyre a good driver or not, runs mid to low 14's. I dont know of anyone to run headers in a ZE powered Mx-3 yet, so that could take it down into the 13's since the K8 manifolds are tiny. <P>------------------<BR>David Coleman- <B><I>Moderator</B></I><BR><A HREF="http://www.PinkMX-3.com" TARGET=_blank>1993 Mazda MX-3 GS Special Edition</A><BR><B><I>Why get clear tail lights when only Geo Metros are gonna see them?</I></B>

And the more I talk about the dang thing at work the more I am conviencing myself to get one. Just today. Telling some one about the 1.6L B6T engine. Saying what it could do. Who much power you could have. Really made me think.

Re: What 1/4mile times with ZE?
pardon my ignorence but i am also new, what is a ZE?
Re: What 1/4mile times with ZE?
A KL_ZE is the Japanese version to the KL_03. The KL_03 beeing the engine found in the 93- Probe/MX-6/626/Millenia. The ZE (J-spec) has 200hp over the 164hp US motor. Either engine will fit in an MX-3. Does wonders for an MX-3! A 200hp engine made for a 2,900lb car! I've driven and MX-3 with the 200hp engine. It screems. Definatly worth every bit for your cars. Probably the most cost effective upgrade for an MX-3.<P>------------------<BR>Mazda Powered 93SonicProbeGT<BR>AIM:Benkrys

Re: What 1/4mile times with ZE?
Cool... I'd imagine the price though, around 5000 or more? would it also work with the 4cyl mx3?
