1996 MX-3 V6 KL-ZE (new timing belt)

[bbunkerc397]

New Update, as many of you know the K8 IM on a ZE runs real rich and burns a ton of gas so I decided to clean up my Eunos 800 IM and install it last night. Well let me tell you what a b**** that was, 12:30AM it was all done. I took it for a boot and what a difference it made to the drivability to the car better throttle response, and it doesn’t have a ruff idle at cold start anymore and it doesn’t run rich either. Now just waiting on a business connection in the US to find me a KL31 ECU.

wow I'm impressed it has never been rained on... that's pretty amazing. I like everything about this car except the red wiper arms. The car looks amazing otherwise!

OK wait a minute. If this is a 96 OBD2 then you can't use the KL31 or 36 ECU as they are OBD1. You just need to swap the JE50 VAF for a KL02 and your gold. VRIS is off on the high end but no biggy. If you go mega squirt to fix that you'll need to use a 92-93 disty as the system needs the cam sensor to work so you'll need to switch the 3 wire disty plug around to run the older disty.

Very nice!
I like the red wiper arms. It looks German.. I'd love to hear a KLZE with all the noise cancelling stuff intact.

Well within the next week or two I have a few new additions to add on my worklog, I managed to snag for 2Gs 12way Porsche 996 front driver seat and 8way power passenger seat heated and black. I will be posting pics of install next week. Also I will be lowering my car with H&R lower springs.

Anyway here is a snap of my new seats.

Those are nice..........

[bbunkerc397]

thanks

[solo_ryder]

How much did u pay fot those again?

[bbunkerc397]

1900 + taxes

[bbunkerc397]

You can get Porsche 911 seats for 1200 to 1400. But they are only 4way and 6way and the bolsters are not as deep.

[solo_ryder]

Wow... Wish I had 2 grand laying around for 2 seats... Most ppls cars here arent even worth 2 grand..

[bbunkerc397]

Ya, I've got a bit of money and I like nice things. My car is probally worth 15000 as it stands.

[bbunkerc397]

So my tank is leaking so decided to buy a new one 350 bucks and I got my hands on a Supercharger pully for 300. Also got new OEM strut mounts front and rear and new H&R lowering springs to go on my KYB's. Here are some pics of the parts haven't had time to install them yet maybe this weekend.

Haven't decided on what supercharger to go with probally a eaton M90, any help would be appreciated...

[solo_ryder]

You won't be able to fit a m90, u have to use a m45, m62 (most popular choice) or a sc14. The m45 is from the non amg slk mercedes and a cooper mini s, and m62 are from the mercedes clk amg version. Sc14 is from a toyota of some sort iirc. M90 won't fit because its too large and they are all snouted so they are way too long. The m62 flow characteristics work well for the ZE's displacment and cca intake

[bbunkerc397]

Alright, so what year of AMG's? I need a year so I can do a database Canada wide search.
