So instead of hijacking a guys thread I've decided to create my own. My goal is to make my car as best as possible while taking current budgets into consideration. I've owned the car for approx 10 years and can never see myself getting rid of it, so time is not really a factor.
The run down...
Body- 93 Mx-3 GS
I'll post pics later but the body is in great shape rust wise...dent wise, not so much. Body work will be in this cars future but is not on my to do list yet.
Engine- KL-ZE w/kl-01 cams, curved neck manifold etc.
My current setup runs ok but not as smooth as I'd like it to. I just recently installed the rear O2 sensor and the motor has smoothed at idle a little better. It has a stumble(read miss fire) from time to time and it bothers me. I was running Bosch platniums +4 and it was running great, however now the stumble has since developed so I took the advice of our mx-3 community and went with NGK's. The stumble is still there

#3 cylinder sparkplug boot is split in half about midway down the plastic/rubber, the connector looks fine but could this be the culprit? I should clarify it was like this since the swap and was working fine. Another note..I swapped out the k8 ecu to that of one out of a automatic mx-6 or so the seller told me. Says 626 on the box but it's written in marker which leads me to believe it was purchased from a scrap yard or something. I can get the proper code at a later time, I also swapped the vaf out of the same car. It cured my bouncing idle but the vris points appear to be off. Should be a win tho, 2.5L fuel management over the 1.8L map.
What's some good/easy mods for spark production? Is the msd box easy to install? Anyone know about aurora...it's a company in abbotsford,B.C that makes spark plug wires. What about a power pack conversion? I'm open to ideas.
That's it for now as I have to help the wife make dinner. If you can shed light on anything I'm wondering about please do so. I want to get this thing working good before I pull the engine to fix the syncro's in the tranny.
