Probe GT engine?

[UrBaNsTyLe55]

i have the 2.0l, as for power differences the 2.5 has more torque (165ft) and 160hp, yet the 2.0l has more hp at 170hp and 145ft of torque, really it all depends on what you want to do in the long run either turbo or n/a, as for the swapping of the brakes, if you really wanted bigger brakes man you just swap the rotors over from the mx3 and you'll be fine its not worth swapping over the whole front suspension and brake system off the probe more money that doesn't need to be spent, if anything jus use cross drilled rotors or slotted, yuh your right gro it is wider, but you know what i'm fine the way i am IMO, car handles great, and stops fine

because the v6 mx3 is a 3plug wiring harness, the 4cyl is a 2plug

the control arms and motion ratios are slightly different.

ill ask tha man who did the swap first hand.... i want the 2.5L V6 Motor.....if my understandings are right thats the Probe gt motor.....if yes what years??.....next....what wiring harnes/ECU/Axles/Crossmember do i want? and what years will i find it in?....THANX TO ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE ANSWERED ALL OF OUR QUESTIONS!

[redfox]

to be honest i couldnt care less about a little loss in handeling.....i dont race in curvs only straight lines....

[UrBaNsTyLe55]

alright redfox, here we go, i'm telling you how i did my swap, the probe gt engine or mxg engine you want between the years 93-95, since the 96-97 used a different ecu and are obd2, doesn't matter wheather its from a prbe or mx6 its the same thing just along the years i listed, you want the wiring harness out of a mx3gs(vg model) year doesn't matter on that one, now the driveshafts you want it from a 93-95 mx3 v6, i tried the other years but had trouble with fitment and for some reason the 93-95 fit perfect, now the crossmember you want it also from any mx3gs model doesn't matter the year, after that your set, tranny wise i used the probe since i heard the mx3 tranny had shorter gears, now for the comeputer and stuff which ever car you take the 2.5l engine from, also take the ecu and air flow meter, and after that your set to go, if you need any other info or got any other questions email me at dezznuts59@aol.com

mx3 & probe tranny are completely identical including ratios and bellhousings

[UrBaNsTyLe55]

well i dunno i was told differently thats why, ah who cares which ever one you can get your hands on get it, get the whole engine with tranny together saves time

[redfox]

thanx for ALL your help guys!

[UrBaNsTyLe55]

no problem

What if i have a 97 Peobe Motor what do i do then?

then swap in the BP and put a turbo on it. You'll get far more power before having to build up the motor. And when you DO build it, you've got less to buy.....only 4 pistons, rods, etc.

So urbanstyle where did you get your KF from for 500 bucks. Was shipping included or did you pay more?

[UrBaNsTyLe55]

from a shop by my house, but to be honest like i said before it all depends on what type of power your looking for the mx6 engine has more torque

[Tweeaks]

Well you can get the KL-ZE for 850+Shipping this is the best deal i've found on the KL-ZE as of yet....Th deal is going on until about the end of march
