very nice mate ... looking pretty!

ive got no idea how they poilished it up so well, i was going to get it powder coated in silver but glad i didnt now.
I just sent the parts into a local metal finishers, cost was either £330 to have every part polished ( inlet manifold and bottom rock. cover ) or £200 just to do the bits you could see. I went with option 2 because i was way over budget towards the end of the swap :lol:

Very nice Garfy, Which way are you going NA with the beast or you boosting her all the way????

Id be interested to see a ZE knocking out 350-400Bhp, have heard it can be done.

All the best mate

you bet it can

No its going to stay NA, it can be boasted to about 275bhp on standard engine. But anymore than 6psi and it wont like it.
Get the engine strenghtened and it will take 20psi no problem as long as you can keep the temp down.
That twin turbo klze pictured runs something like 800bhp :shock:

Yeah ive got loads of pics and vids on my pc of ze mx-3s from the states.

mine on a dyno

its a standard exhaust so all the noise is inductance

it made me grin alot when watching and hearing it.

it's a nice engine, hmmmmm i think my 1.5 turbo is going to sound a bit pidly compared to that, Im still trying to convince peter put the ZE in

by **garfy1981** » Wed May 17, 2006 5:10 pm

with a mx-3 its near impossible/hell of alot of work to go from a 4cyl to a 6cyl engine so all 6 cyl guys upgrade to the KLZE and the 4 cyl guys go for the BPT engine.

Its ok Gingerboy has a 323F - Pedro has the Mx-3 1.8V6 .. Gingerboy is Turboing - and wants Pedro to dump the KLZE in his MX-3 ... I think lol

by **Gingerboywonder** » Thu May 18, 2006 11:45 am

hehe, Right just to clear things up, I have the 1.5 323f which im throwing a turbo on, peter Aka pedro_Mx3 aka my brother has the mx-3 v6

I think i have been in ireland too long im not making sense

by **garfy1981** » Thu May 18, 2006 5:03 pm
