crazy engine swap

[THStrumpet]

The guy who owns the show the performance shop around my place that has that nice mx-3 is planning on doing another mx-3 for racing. He is gonna swap a supercharged 2.5L (maybe 2.3L) V6 from a '98 or '99 Millenia into an mx3 GS he just bought. I asked if it would fit, he said they are gonna make it fit, hehe. What do you guys think about this???? How fast u think it'll be?? Should he just get the klze instead or rotary? Money is not a prob with this guy.<p>[ October 08, 2002: Message edited by: THStrumpet ]

well if money is no object, get a RB26DETT engine and tranny and make a Nissan Mx-3(my dream). If he is going to go mazda a say twin turbo cosmo rotary rwd or if he wants to go k-series engine, get a kl03 block and stroke it to 2.9, forge the internals(custom), and n02 that bad boy into the 11s/12s with a custom lsd tranny/gearbox, if he was planning on throwing a Millenia S motor in it will only be an auto and what the hell is the fun of that?

does the millenia bolt to the 1.8 trans?<P>I would think you could push big hp out of the 2.3L<P>I would like to see the 20b rotory Rwd
