Damn, it's been a while since I posted something in this thread :) So guys, more than a year has passed. What kind of mods do you think I've done to my MX-3? :)

FINALLY I repainted it, did some minor fixing and of course, the great finale, TURBO.
Yes, I did turbo my 1.6 SOHC engine. How strange is that? :)

A few photos of all these events. Yes, Intercooler is still to come to my turbo project.

It runs, it accelerates 0-60mp/h in about 7 seconds (good for a SOHC, eh? :) ). Still have some bugs, but they will be fixed.

Paint looks good! Gonna be keeping that SOHC? Or is there a plan of putting another engine into it to make some more power? :welder:

BP will drop in realllly easily...just saying...

those are BORBET replicas i think, it's printed MGN on the wheel :) Oh, and I forgot to post the newest photo with repainted wheels :)

My main plan was to boost this particular engine. Becaues everyone is saying that the SOHC is pure garbage. Well, now i'm putting around 160-170bhp with 0.7 bar boost :) good enough for me. Not planing a BP swap :)

Thanks for the support guys ;) but i still need to get rid of detonation, because sometimes it overboosts to 0.8-0.9 bar and the fuel detonates

You need an intercooler! I used a MX6/ford probe side mount in the engine bay for a couple of years. it worked great and was cheep. also what are you running for management?
