KLZE In a 4cyl?

Post by MX3Project2006 »

Went out and bought a 92 MX3 with a 4cyl. My question is that can a klze fit into it? There is not alot of info on this topic if so please help. Looking for the best engine swap and all the info you have on it. Or is this car a waste of time and money?

Your answer is yes it will fit.. however.. you claim there is not a lot of information on this.. you are incorrect. This topic has been covered more times than I have hair on my head so maybe you should try searching a bit harder. The engine bay is the same size for ALL versions of the MX3. But there are a lot of reasons why you shouldnt put a V6 into a 4 cyl car. Searching will reveal more details. A more appropriate powerplant for a 4 cyl MX-3 would be a Turbocharged BP engine. Good luck and happy researching :D

your best bet is a n/a bp out of a 94 protege. you will need the ecu with this. and then turboing it seperate. the bpt heads that come stock with turbo flow very very poorly. so no bpt is not the best motor. a bp is and then doing your own bigger than stock turbo for less price.

Which ends up being a Turbocharged BP engine as I stated above.. I didnt NOT say a bpt or BPT engine. :roll:
