93 turbo V6 323 hatch!

[KL motor sports]

Hello, my name is Sean. I'm new to the BG platform but I'm known for my Probe GT over on Probetalk.com. My screen name there is WestPalmGT. A member here known as hppwdn (11 sec mx3 known as GoldMember )decided he was going to start up the meet called flyrtle again and wanted to build a race car for the event. We decided to stuff a kl with a turbo in the already light Mazda 323 hatch. He bought the motor and we used my turbo kit that was on my old probe and a few other left over parts we both had laying around. hppwdn spent a lot of time getting this thing put together in time for the meet. He swapped in the klg4, helped Jordan (shaodome over on probetalk) install the megasquirt , made a crossmember , made all the Intercoller pipping work , and installed everything I had and bought for the car. Also would like to thank Md323 for his vast experience with this platform and helping hppwdn with the dash harness.

Now about the car. It's a 1993 323 hatch that we used and gutted. It's powered by a now KLDE v6 with a 5758 PTE dual ceramic ball bearing turbo. 850cc rx7 inj. On e85 fuel. Unfortunately we were unable to race the car at the event due to 1. Took the car out to test n tune and the klg4 poped. We were able to swap in a Klde before the event but then 2. It rained and it was canceled.

Numbers.... Well the 1st klg4 dynoed 323 on 12lbs but that motor had a blown head gasket. So we went back to the junkyard and pulled another klg4 and that one popped at the track while doing a burn out. So with the now Klde we don't know the actual hp. We will have new dynos and ets soon tho.

Nice ride, must be a 12sec car easy with those specs.

Can't wait to see some action 1/4 mile movies with timeslips.

thanks for sharing the story!! we're lookin forward to hearing more from you and seeing the progress of this KLZE turbo hatch...becareful though. You have a KLZE turbo Festiva in this forum too and he's not qutting!

[KL motor sports]

It's not a Klze it's a Klde. The 1st 2 motors we tried was klg4s. That's funny bc we were looking to do a festiva but couldn't find one. Lol so we went with the 323.

ya 323 is more of a direct swap anyways ahah, Damkid had some fabrication that needed to be done since the alternator wanted to be the headlight, and the front exhaust manifold wanted to be the radiator LOL.

sucks you guys got rained out at the track, its not much better down here this weekend with issac moving through :x

cant wait to see what it will do at the track.

Very nice. I love V6 323s. I see you're in need of the intact A pillar trim mod. If I remember correctly, you had some pretty impressive NA KLZE numbers on PT.

Anyway, what popped with the G4? Rods, or did the cast crank let go?

Yeah man my mx6 with a klze and bolt ons ran 13.7@98 my Turbo probe went 12.2@118 this car has a better set up then my Probe did so I want 11.5 or better. About the klg4 we don't know yet. We are still on the road heading back to Florida.

What's a KLDE? Is that like a super optional motor for these cars?













I kid. Awesome how many KL swaps there truly are out there. Welcome aboard. Sub'n for ET's.

What numbers you made with the klg4 engine before blowing it?

We stopped at 323 LOL. The motor had a blown head gasket. That was on 12 pounds on e85. The other k l G 4 motor was pulled after and we didn't have enough time to dyno it before the meet. We haven't tuned the other motor yet. I'll get new numbers and post them up soon so far 13.1@115 spinning we don't have an ebrake to heat the tires or any suspension work. The car should do 11.5 now that we have more time to get the car right. I will post that vid when I get back I'm still driving home now.
