Anyone got any track times

I'm about to buy a MX, and swap the motor. Now, I heard that you can run 12's with a probe gt motor. Is this true, and does anyone have proof? Suggestions will me greatly appreiciated. Oh yeah, the one I;m buyin is a 4 cylinder.

Thanks

Ok dude, you've been led wrong somewhere.

First of all, the Probe GT motor is called a KL-DE, it is a 2.5L A-spec motor that is chosen over the J-spec version (KL-ZE) due to its lower compression ratio when the tuner is planning on putting a turbo or supercharger. The KL-DE has ~160hp and will bring you into the high 15s in an MX3 if you do it right.

The KL-ZE (2.5L J-spec) has 197hp and can bring in times around 14.7 seconds stock. Exhaust, intake, pulley kit and some lightweight will get you down to around 14.4-14.5

Both of those motors are V6's and if you plan on swapping a 4 banger to a V6, you better bring your chequebook. A lot of part swapping is involved fot this particular swap, and isnt recomended.

If you're buying a 4 Banger, your best option is a BP or BP-T. I dont know a lot about these motors, but if you read up on http://www.mx-3.com in the FAQ 4-Cylinder section it will help you a lot. A BPT swap usually costs around 3000-4000$ from what I have heard, and will give you 200hp (mid 14's).

IMHO, the only way to get your MX3 into the 12s is lots of boost, or a serious diet (Im talking not even a cigarette lighter serious :lol: ). 12s will cost you a pretty penny. Unless you're retarded (Just kidding Steve) or willing to spend ~8-10K, forget F/I on a V6 MX3.

You'd be better off buying an eclipse gsx or gst.

How much money are you planning to spend....or...I guess the question should be, how much money to you HAVE to spend?

to run 12 with a 2.5L be prepare to invest over 10 000$
as for now I have a mildly modded klze and running 14.5..
My engine is beeing rebuilt right now with forged internals and this cost a lot of money !!!!

hey im just getting done putting mu g-16 turbo in my klze'd probe did all the work myself . car hauls ass without the turbo excited to drive it with it in.
