Mx6 Camshafts into Mx3

Post by Zas)-( »

Yeah bois here we are gain so heres my query, i live i naust rite n now way would i be able to get my hands on a Klze engine to strip down n use the parts so im enquirying whether i can use the camshafts, valves, springs etc from a mx6 to fit into my V6 1.8l Mx3 ?
would it work? like all im tryin to do is get parts from wreckers a mx6 engine use its camshafts put it into my mx3 hopefully which are more agressive n produce more torque n hp. what else out of mx-5s and da mx-6s could i strip to add in my mx3 to add more performance?

hopefully ppl dun get pissed at my question???

If you don't want to swap the whole engine, then just get the cams out of the KLZE and throw them in your engine. It will allow your engine to breathe alot better. It's completely unnecesary to swap the springs over, and it'd be impossible to get the valves from the KL into the K8 head. There's simply not enough room in the 1.8L's combustion chamber.

Ditto Lkrsfan1, that is about all you can use engine wise. (cams)
Not going to be much of a gain though.

I wonder if kfze cams work on k8.. they are the most aggressive so i hear.

Just swap the cams over, your best bet would be to swap the whole engine over though.

From what my Aussie roommate in college told me, not many J-spec Mazda's made it to Australia, but did go to New Zealand.
