A turbo charged GM ecotec engine? Are you crazy? Like the one from the cobalt maybe? That would cost some serious money. I would not like to be the one to wire that up to our cars

On a serious note, that engine does not impress me at all. A mildly turbo or supercharged KLZE would be more feasible.

Here you go. Maybe you'll have better luck than me. Don't ask too many questions though. http://www.mx-3.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=43590

aleros are not really fast + the ze bolts right in the ecotec would take forever
to put in.

Ya thats a good way to waste a lot of time and money. Plus you wouldn't impress anyone on here.

Ill sell you my k8 for cheap I just bought me a klde. HAs new timing belt and full service done to it.

i dont want another k8. my goal for this car is to make power. im not into looks that much i like cars that can perform. i like speed and a hell of alot of power. i want a kl-ze or kl-03 and put a turbo on it and do everythin possible to the engine and squeeze every last bit of horesepower out of it. my main motive for this is because i wanna keep up to my brother with his fiero when he gets a 3.8litre supercharged engine.

Your stock engine is screwed or you just dont like it?
My suggestion would be to look into places where you live that sell KLDE engines. You might be able to find one with just only 20k miles for very cheap. Or you can get one with alot of miles for a price of atleast $300 and you can end up building it up to for a turbo.

Or you can go for a KLZE...

By the way, your idea about putting a Ecotec engine in a MX3... I am just going to forget I heard that

This might just have to go into the running for the 'Worst Idea Ever Concived' award

The whole thing needs to be deleted.

Noone's bought an engine off of Corksport here. They're a ripoff. Try using the search button.
