MX-3.com

i currently working on converting my 4 cylinder mx-3 into a racer and have heard that the sho is an awesome motor with 400+ horsepower on supercharged models anyone know anything about engine swaps or sho's

i do know there isn't a supercharged sho engine. There is a 3.0 V6 that was a decent motor, and a V8... But neither are worth it. When you can just but a BP-T in and be alot faster.

what is a BP-T and, where can i find them? what kind of power do they have. i don't know to much about engines but have friends who do but most of them are into trucks so they only help with the swapping and mechanical crap

well the bp-t i think has like 210-220hp and the gtr version has 250hp if u want to build a race car the bp-t is a nice engine they have lots of potential. personally by the time u spend all that money swappin in that 3 litre u could have used all that money and put it into a bp-t+performance parts and be really fast.

where can i find a BP-T or BP-T gtr and the upgrades for one

use the search function located at the top of the page. Type in BPT, sit back and get ready to read

Stock BPT is 180 HP from the GTX and the GTR has 190 I believe.

I thought BPT engines make 200hp and 160ft torque? Anyway, they cost pretty cheap and yes, they do have alot of potential
Depends on the money and time you want to spend though
They only cost $1200-$1400 but they do come with a turbo

You CAN make your MX3 AWD aswell. It has been done and you dont need to retube chassis onto your car. You just have to modify the tranny or make some type of adapter so it can bolt onto the engine.

If it was up to me, I would of gotten a V6 MX3. Then I would buy a cheap used KLDE engine for $250, do a complete engine rebuild with all forged internals, bore and stroke, custom high compression pistons/rods and port and polish then I would go for a turbo and turn the BOOST UP.
That thing would go like crazy. 400hp to the crank would be possible with this.

ok i found corksport.com and there actually only an hour away from me so i have some easy help as far as tech support goes but what about all wheel drive conversions with a BP-T GTR and tranny's for that engine

GTX = 180hp GTR = 210hp
and the GTR is a rare find.

grab a kl and bore the $hit our of it oh and stroke it

really? i heard from a couple mx-3ers that it was the way i said thats y i said that. maybe i shouldnt say nothin no more everythin lately that i say turns out to be wrong

I am with baby on this one stock kl has 200hp and you are turboed and you just hit 210 turbo a kl you got some 380hp beast like babies.

V6's rule.......

you wouldnt want high compression pistons if you were running a turbo.
