Ok so I recently acquired a used MX-3 GS that needs an engine replaced and I have a KLDE from a 95 MX-6 that will be replacing the blown K8 that is currently in the car.
This car will be given to my parents for them to drive so the mods that get done will be simple stuff/bolt-ons for the engine. Suspension, brakes and body will be left stock.
I have been digging around other forums for what to do with this thing and I have a few things am curious about
1: Ryan told me about doing the MAF conversion which I am considering, but if I don't go that route should I just keep the K8 ECU and VAF or get the 2.5 stuff and chip it?
2: I found some used KLZE pistons, which I may consider installing but am unsure yet.
3:HEI mod is on my list for reliability reasons
4: It appears to me that the K8 manifold has some small runners compared to the KLDE. I need to get an MX6 brake booster to be able to run the KLDE, so is it worth the trouble?
5: Will the ZX2 exhaust piping kit fit an MX3?
6: How about using the K8 heads to just bump the compression on the KL? Anyone tried this before? I have seen this done in the Nissan world before with their V8's
Any other suggestion/comments or things I am missing please let me know.
