MX-3 1.6L, KLZE swap

[racinokie13]

I have a 92 mx-3 with a 1.6L SOHC. Now I have been looking around for help with a KLZE swap. All I can find out is that it is now recomended. Can anyone tell me why they would or would not recomend this swap. It would be great since this KLZE would be given to me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, search a bit.

There are MUCH easier swaps for a 4cl.

Start with the 4cl FAQ.

But if I do decide to go with this swap, what modifications will be needed? And would it be worth the trouble? Since I am getting this motor for free!!

I am not the best to give advice, but after reading topics up and down I have come to the understanding that to change a I4 to V6 requires a lot of work.

- The engine mounts are different.
- The wire system is different.
- Tranny is different? (i.e. not bolt-up)

The best advice I can give you is to take the KLZE and sell it. Use the money you get from this sale to buy yourself a BP or even better, a BP-T.

The last advice, and probably the best: search and read, search and read. These questions have been answered 97 times already, so some of the eldest members are irritated that every newbie asks questions without even searching.

Good luck to you, and welcome to the mx-3 family!

Thanks for the information, ill use it. Andy by the way im sorry for bringing up something again. If it bothers you dont read it. You know alot of people don't have the time to comb through all the pages. Isn't it just easier to ask someone to get the info you need. Isn't that what a forum is about?????
