An MX-6 For Racing?

MX6 -
2800lbs .....


Are you kidding me? That is really light! How is the MX-6 so much lighter than a Probe?

The Probe Extra Glass because of the hatchback. This is what I have been told. I think also it was designed by Ford where the MX-6 was the Jap designed version?

ok to all of you who have a 93 mx6, i own the LS 2.5 v6. i was told by the maufactuer themselves that our engines are not able to be modified any more than look......aka ......intake, maifolds, better plugs and wires, diffrent exaust diffrent fuel injectors......all the small stuff. our engine blocks are very strong, but are unable to be bored out. they are already bored as much as possible from the factory, you can get factory turbo or superchargers. but nothing can be done to the block its self. small shots of nitrous can be used but with caution. i love my car to death, but you really can't do much with it for racing. if you plan on keeping it long. but be sure to check which of the three engines you might have in your car. and at the very most out of the factory our cars only have 200 hp. if i am wrong please let me know. i have gathered info for three years from coast to coast and have tried all different set ups on five diffrent engines, and none of which have worked. except all the small enhancments like i listed above.

I am almost certain that from what I have gathered you can do a better piston setup and that is the only weak link. I believe you could call Wiseco. The bottom end is very strong. You can always do a DIY port job on them. I have done it but sold them before trying them. There is allot of room for opening them up. Since our cars make allot of their power up high and can go 7000 stock opening up the ports should produce some serious increases. It is said that it will live at 400hp without mods. Turbo is the best bet. They are said to put out 320hp with low boost. A car weighing as little as ours that is strong. 12's in the quarter?

Have you looked on the Probe side. More of them and seems to be more enthusiast. Same stuff though.

with the right engine mangement system and injectors and turboed yout could reliably run 300-350 on stock internals on the 2.5l v6 dotn get the klze its pointless, due to the compression you can put as much boost to it as you could a regular stock motor

theres a performance shop in WI that has a 95 probe which is basically the same car that makes 504 WHP
