Coming Soon (hopefully) MX-3 GTR

if our bore is bigger then the means the area to fill is larger if you take that into account then flat top valves would have a smaller affect... if the bore was smaller then the flat top would have lager affect... its like division if you if you have 1/3 and increase the 1 to 1.1 that would have a larger affect tahn if you had 1/4 and increased the 1 to 1.1, make sense? Also our valves do not dish in very much at all...

it is actually a bit darker than in the pic.... not sure why but it looks a little washed out... i might go with red adjustable cam gears... do you guys think those will be a good investment along with everythign else i have and have planned?

Yeah.

And everything looks awesome Tim!

thanks

and does the yeah mean the adjustable cam gears are worth the $208?

[deadly_sleeper]

you're going all out on the motor, you should spend that money to help with tuning and getting all the power you can out of that engine. i would say yes, it's worth it.

[FE3-323]

They are worth it.. If i was you id get the "clear" or "blue pair it would much better offset your motor

Sure does!

Do it up.

the blue probably won't match the valve cover so it would be taky... so its either clear or red.. i was leaning to the red cause aside from the blue valve cover most everything else will be clear or black so i thought it might add a little more splash of color

[therieldeal]

two different shades of blue isnt a bad thing, unless they are close and it looks like a crappy match job.

i've got some blue anodized parts (wastegate, eventually cam gears, etc)... and i'm probably going with a dark/navy blue valvecover. looks good in my mind at least lol

oh yeah, and i dunno how i would feel about red cam gears on your motor... red, silver, and blue is too patriotic looking for me

[projectmx]

i suppose it is a litlte patriotic... not that it's a bad thing personally... but i suppose it could end up looking corny.. and i'm pretty sure the blues is one of those close but not quite things

[therieldeal]

ah, thats too bad about the blue color . yeah i have no problem with patriotism either, but having a mazda with patriotic colors under the hood might look a little funny hehe
