lol, no kidding...just an FYI, tranny is OK, harness OK, ECU, well that depends on the ECU/VAF combo your going for and which 2.5l engine your going for (KLZE or KLDE), but for the most part, yes, change it

Just an FYI, here's some threads i highly recommend you read:

Are you serious, or are just screwing around?

fyi = for your information.

MX3 with 160 bhp, I'd be suprised to get better than 16s for the 1/4 . 0-60 high sevens.

You're only adding 30 bhp so don't expect anythin too dramatic. The in gear performance and flexibility should be far, far better though.

Ummm the MX-6 and Probe that engine came out of ran high 15's stock. How do you subtract over 200lbs and go slower?

k, then I'll say it just for ol times sake.. search

My mistake - for some reason I had the Probe down as high 16s rather than 15s. Brain clearly in neutral...

In UK spec the weight of a Probe/MX-6 and an MX-3 is pretty much the same so I wasn't factoring that but I was thinking about the shorter gearing.

since were talking about v6 2.5l, do you guys have any info about like... ?L/100km or stuff like that, engine fuel info... i really wanna nkow, cuz i did the math and its 16$ if you wanna be able to do the same distance with i4 and v6 1.6l engine (mx-3) and i wanted to know if i swaped it for a 2.5l, how much more it would cost, cuz i gotta make a wise decision, fuel efficient = less money spent on gaz, or more power = more fun... lolol anyways

There was a poll on this a while back, i've got a KF and a lead foot, i get excited if i do more than 320km between fills!

haha ****, fuel most empty half your wallet every time...
