MX-3.com

First off, Hello everyone!

Secondly, I'm about 99% sure I'm going to be buying a 93 MX-3 GS with a v6 engine, and a 5 speed transmission, the problem is I don't know what V6 it is and I dont know how i could tell because i don't know Mazda's well at all. People I've talked to said "well its probably the 2.5 thats in the probe" but then when I weant to [url=http://www.kbb.com,]www.kbb.com,[/url] the only v6 it listed for that model was a 1.8 litre v6. So i'm just wondering who's right.

Anyway, if you guys could tell me some way i could see what size engine it is let me know. I havent looked in the engine bay yet because the car is being worked on by the dealership, but I don't know if it says on the valve covers anywhere.

thanks a ton!

99.99% chance its the 1.8L V6 that came in it stock though you can swap in a 2.5 pretty easy

check the code on the heads (under intake manifold)..tell us what's writtem there and we'll tell you what engine you got

Easiest way .. the head numbers, look between the intake runners.

ok cool, i might be able to test drive it today because when I drove by, it looked like they were working on it, so hopefully it will be done today. They said whenever it came to a stop that it sounded like it wanted to die, and sometimes it would. They're putting in a new fuel filter, alternator, battery, but they also think that a vacuum line came unattached or somthing so they're going to try that. This car looks like **** because all the paint is falling off, and theres little rust spots, but it could definately be awesome if it's painted. REALLY hoping I get it!
