    nope, thats a millenia. the intake manifold give's it away.

    as clint pointe dout. thats really the best KL you can get here in the states though. has a few of the ZE goodies, and thats the intake mani you need for the swap to your car.

    cant wait to see you get a bit furthur int his project. should turn out to a screamer

        So you're saying I can't use a different intake manifold for my swap??

          just stick with the curved neck intake.Its basically the same as a ZE intake, and should be great for now.Just pick up a probinator chip to adjust the VRIS points, along with the fuel/timing tables.Nice motor, looks pretty damn clean for a USDM motor.

            I'm gonna run stock everything for now but when I get my turbo kit made, I'm gonna maybe run a G4 manifold or something. I heard all the strait necks are better then the curved. I might even go sheet metal manifold.

                I drove 3 hours to Olathe, Kansas to take a look at this mx-3 I had planned to buy and when I got there I waited an hour and a half for the guy to show up. The guy wouldn't even let me test drive the car before I bought it. WTF! Are you serious? The car had a flat tire and there was no way I was gonna drive on a spare home so I told him he was alot "stuff" and ended up almost jumping him and then left. Dude was a huge retard turned out the worst day of my life because I got a ticket for careless and imprudent driving later that day for having some fun in some snow on the way home.

                I'm on the lookout for a new mx3, otherwise I'm just gonna go to the junkyard.

                  too bad your not closer, id sell you my swap parts for pretty cheap.I find it easier to just buy the parts, rather than a donor car that sits in your way when you done with it.I still have the back half of my 92 mx3(plasma cutter broke), and its going to sit there until scrap prices come back up.

                    I pulled the motor in about 4 hours. Pretty simple I'm sure you all know about this. It was my 1st pulling this motor.

                      Painted the bottom half of the engine bay black. Just something to tie it over until I get a paint job.

                        My beautiful tape job as well as my paint job. Hot shot slip on headers. I'll be selling them in about 7 months when I get back from tech school.

                              I got the cross-member that connects the front and rear motor mount. I got the rear cross-member off an mx3 and I was wondering if I was suppose to use this on my car. It would mount from control arm to control arm but theres no holes for it to mount.
