Best turbo for a KLZE or KLDE?

[Juans_93_MX3]

Did some research and didnt come up with anything except a T3 turbo. Dosent sound right to me, anyway, in your guys opinion, whats the best turbo for a KLZE or KLDE?

[babyblueMX3]

depends how much boost you want to run..
un my case I found that the t3/t04e 57 trim was the best for overall power and got lots of place for imporvements..spool fast and doesn't stop till all hell

I've got a t3/t04B S trim. Its what came stock on buick grand nationals and powers those huge heavy cars into the 11's all the time.


I've looked at some compressor maps and it is the most efficient on our engine right around 15 psi. Thats what I plan to push. Waiting on my heavily acid ported intake mani so I can mock up my top feed injectors with rails then I can get the standalone in and running! 12's here I come.

10 psi feels awesome right now and has held up great so obviously I am wanting more...

Yes I do plan to run 12's on stock internals. PGT guys do it all the time. Unfortunately I am at altitude but I think I can pull it off

Mazdamiester off mx6.com is a good friend of mine. He did me an acid ported and de vrised intake mani. Said he went a little overboard with it, because I had asked him to.. heheh
I'm going to port/polish it even more when it gets here.

I am very happy to have a modded car hold up for once. I really learned a lot when I modded my 1st gen mx6, blew 3 motors along the way and so I have been taking things slow and easy.

I got rid of the stock exhaust finally and now I have a 2.5" turbo-back, no cat, back to a plain oval turbo chamber muffler stealthy look and wow. Huge power increase.
I drove it home from the muffler shop, hit boost and it was climbing to like 14 psi, when I had set it to 10 for the longest time! I had to turn down my boost controller!
Check out my cardomain, I got a lot of info on there...

I was gonna say "holly ****e! 12PSI on a stock internals ZE!?!?" But than i realised you have a DE

Props for turbo-ing a 2.5 MX-3!
