Very nice update !!

Love the pictures

Hey all...I know it has been awhile...but started doing some more work on the mx3

Finally got my turbo situation sorted out...another vf10/vj20 hybrid is in, and this time no more smoke show / oil pouring out the center cartridge.

Still have some other things to address...got a set of manual seat belts to swap in place of the automatic ones...etc...
but should be road ready soon FINALLY ( fingers crossed )

Quick video of the car idling and revving it up posted to youtube (hopefully the link works)

Will update more when I can, thanks
(PS...if anyone is interested, I am putting my 88 mazda 626 turbo up for sale...I have it on Craigslist under lehigh valley PA)

Great news. As always a big fan of your build.

Hey Aaron...going to Carlisle this year?

Small update, fixed the oil pan leak on mx-3...wired up some hella supertones... and rolled all the fenders...



Also ran it on the dyno for a bit, to get drivability sorted and a safe conservative set-up for breaking in the engine.
Still made 194.28 HP and 174.94 torque, at 8psi and only running it up to 6000rpm.
( after break-in, will be doing more tuning, redline up to 7000rpm, and around 15psi or so...
Still have a bunch of little things to button up, and then alignment and inspections.









More to come soon, also some video's from the dyno

Small update...mx-3 now has almost 1000 miles on the engine...I have been driving it daily for the past month.
It's weird driving it again, after 8 years of being off the road...
Manual seatbelt's are swapped in, and got some different wheels ...still needs an alignment and tune for more psi now that its broken-in.
Some pics of the new wheels:









Also sold the 626 turbo...and got a jeep pickup truck ....and traded an FC shell for an 04 audi a4 ...
pic of the mx-3 with my next project, 4wd protege..and the jeep comanche

Yay for updates! Your car has come a long way over the years!

Love the wheels Chris. 16's?

yeah...16 x 8 size with a +15 offset all around. the tire size is a little big, but i got the wheels & brand new tires for cheap on craigslist.

Nice real nice. Good luck with the tune.
