I have found at least 5 variations of the "standard" KL and 3 on the 'ZE. This does not include the still born KL-T or the KL SOHC which is rated at 158hp but the torque much higher than a DOHC. There is also a KL Diesel and TDI. The SOHC and Diesels were never used in North America or Europe.

This sounds really interesting.

However, the power looks week but the sound of a diesel with a turbo, exhaust cut outs... Oh man that would be sweet in a MX3

Personally i don't like the rattle of a deisel..i would s--- my shelf if I heard a diesel rattle from an mx3. And I bet a kl diesel would be quite torqey.

If I count with gallons, I pay $6.30 for gallon of fuel in my country... And I still drive MX. :)

There isn't a conversion kit, but there is a guy in Europe with a propane powered MX-3.
