Ok, first off how about a little introduction about yourself? Next, your punctuation is horrible, you'll get flamed here for that so be warned. Finally, we need to know what model MX-3 you have, GS or RS (V6 or 4 banger). Use our search function or Google your questions a well, there's lots of info out there. We're here to help but not spoon feed so do a little research on your own.
Anyway, welcome to our forums and if you decide to stay consider donating to support this web site. Cheers, Dan.

VR4 what? 3kGT? VW? Galant?

Start doing your research, you're looking at a BPT swap or a KLDE-T build.

What kind of numbers is your friend putting down, and is the car FWD or RWD?

Do you define "faster" as faster off the line, faster on a course, or the forum taboo "on the street"?

No disrespect intended, but if you're looking for #3 and not the others, you're in the wrong place.

i have a 1.8 v6. and my friends 3000gt vr4 is runnin 11.5. we mostly race on the street but just tryin not 2 be the slow guy in the crew. i know a probe v6 will fit but i just want to know what all i need off the probe .

don't f around on the streets and your best off not messing with something in the mid to low 11's

ok so what do u think i can run with a v6 swop with turbo. my friend has 15gs and 9b turbos layin around off his vr4.

lets start off with what is your budget? Anything can be done. Get a DE, boost it with the t3 kit. Get a stand alone EMS and some forged internals and you should be in good shape. Pending on what you can do yourself expect a few thousand $.

ok i get paid about 800 a weak so like 1600 a mouth i can spend freely. my friend that do all the car work 4 the crew will do all the work 4 free so i just need parts so what is the price 4 the kit

No idea, I don't sell it.

Ebay would be a good start, or google. It sounds like you are all about short/easy answers. I think you need to know waaaay more before you start buying anything. If you don't know the difference between good and crap parts, you shouldn't be buying them.

I don't feel like you are even close to being ready. Racing on the street.. seemingly little to no background. Not a great combo.

Can we ask where your from?

im from milwaukee wi. it is just that i dont want the slow car anymore ya know. right now i have a grand am and was goin 2 make that fast but the headers cost almost 1000 i cant do that. i like the way the mx-3 looks and my friends think it could be really fast so im just tryn 2 find out how fast i can make it b4 i start buyin stuff

Reading some of the work logs is a real good source of info. http://www.mx-3.com/phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=46

^ Kick this habit, please. You don't live near me, but any life you endanger beyond your own is worth far too much for this crap. If you accept the risk associated with racing, do it on a track. Nobody else on the road need accept the risk of you racing.

This I can respect, but you won't find much help here if you don't address the first quote somewhat. I'd hope not at least...

And how old are you? Apparently you have no bills so you spend everything on your car vs paying bills/mortgage. mx-3 is not the best car to spend your money on. Save your money and get yourself a house while they're still cheap.
