engine swap question/confussion
Hello, I got a k8 in my car right now. 130hp@6500. I heard the ze has 200@6500. I recently found out that the 96-98 Millenia 2.3-kjs engine hase 210HP @5300 and same and torque at 3500. Would this engine fit in an mx-3? would it been a direct bolt in as the ze...or is there more too it?

The 2.3 could be done but is a lot more work. Unless you want an automatic you will have to use a stand alone aftermarket ecu to run it. The 2.3 only came in automatic and the millenia ecu needs to see the auto tranny there to work properly.<p>The other thing is intercooler plumbing. You'd have to rig up a front mount and do all the plumbing.
