I've heard recently that that parts for a 4 cyl. Eclipse and MX-3 are pretty much interchangable. is this true? and if so does that mean that you could get Eclipse headers for your MX-3??<BR>thanks in advance<P>------------------<BR>Shady MX-3<BR>92 1.6L SOHC

Not quite dude.<P>The engines are not at all the same. But...<P>If you look at some of the parts, they come from the same supplier.<P>The Injectors are used when you have a turbo. The layout of both 4 cyl engines is such that it would not be hard to retrofit the turbo parts into the 1.6 mx3.<P>Compare that to the Honda engine bays, and you'll see that there are similarities. <P>I have eclipse injectors modified a tiny bit for my mx3 (O-ring sizes and connector adapted), the antenna mount is the same, the piping and intercooler fit with some mods to the bumper and fender wells.<P>There are other details, but I'm just waking up. I'll gather another listing of real stuff.<P>RF

Hey....could the injectors and fuel pump off of a 90 Eclipse Turbo also fit our cars. Still thinking about what to do with the turbo ^_^
