DeeAOne's BF KLDE Swap.

[Damkid]

the spiders look like it would be a straight swap, however, as posted previously, you still have the half shaft. I would be leary of putting the v6 through the oem drivelines for the 323, unless y'all think they could handle it. The CV joint swap may be a better bet, unless the length is all wrong. How is that coming Dee?

Spider gears are not a direct swap, i tried that one, but today i swapped the ring gears and was succesful, by next week i will have a re-assembled 26 spline V6 tranny, and making a bracket for the intermediate shaft to mount to should be fairly easy

I believe that is what I meant, you'll have to pardon my miss use of the nomenclature, the spindle holding the spiders looked like it could swap from one ring to the other via 8 (?) bolts, according to the pic anyway. You are breaking some ground, looks like we will have to break a transmission! I would still be interested however to see if the cv joint swap would work on the end joints. If I wasn't going to school during the week and working on the weekends, I would be at my favorite pull-a-part with tools and a tape measure to make some observations, and buy some cv axles. Dee, what engine/tranny mounts are you using? Are you fabbing up your own or are you getting the stock ones to work?

Man this is good stuff seeing im considering doing this swap my self. Keep up the good work guys! Hey Dee, where did you get you motor and trans? So clean!

[Damkid]

Once i'm done my tranny i'll start a new thread showing my work so i stop cluttering up DeeAOne's thread (sorry Dee) probably in the BF worklog forum

thanks man. i got it from a local guy who was about to junk it. the trans i got from Mazda Powered on here.

and damkid its cool man. you gave me ideas so no worries. you guys need to both make worklogs so i wont be the only one attempting this. lol

[Damkid]

I will be attempting a V6 swap into my festiva right shortly as well, and once my tranny is re-assembled i'll be pulling the B6T/tranny from my festiva to start test fitting the V6 tranny (which is when i'll start a worklog), i probably won't do much after that over the winter (garage isn't heated) so basically within a couple weeks i'll have at least the axle problem solved

a little update..finally ordered the clutch. heres what i decided on:

nothing special, but it will get the job done. im going to run this with an oem brand new mx-3 flywheel.

[mx-3_4evr]

good choice!

[Chad]

so what combo are you using for VAF and ECU... my best combo on my mx3 was mx6 ecu and VAF... also you interested in my ZE pistons.?

[DeeAOne]

KL01 ECU from a 93 626 along with the VAF from the same car.

im focusing on getting it running right now..later down the road i may switch to the better combo, and maybe even get those pistons from you.

[Chad]

sounds good., although im not a big fan of your swap... ( not into the v6 as im sure i have made quite clear by now) .. its deff nice to see a new swap done... and your car is sexy as phuck

[DeeAOne]

appreciate that sir. i hope i get it running, and dont give up as i am prone to doing. lol

[Chad]

lol i will say they do have a decent amount of power though, and teh sound.... =sex ... haha .... i just hope the selling of my mx3 goes through like its supposed to... i want back in the BG game

[DeeAOne]
