There is always something else taking priority just replacing 3rd gear (for the 3rd time even par) clutch cracked thunder mani among many other little things lately. I'm still running a mbc too but holds a steady 18-22ish psi lol

Here is mine - don't mind the super-stockness. CARB-certification for the engine change is scheduled for later this month.

Here are some updated Pics of my Engine Bay...

Well it took me 3 years but my new forged motor is installed- once I clean it up I will get more pics:

Just a start as I am more worried about the car driving now than how it looks but you get the idea

lol the man posts an AMAZING OEM LOOKING V6 swap, probably with more power than any engine bay on this page and no one says s***

Not trying to bust your balls, but... Mazdaspeed2003.5 has a lot more power than that. Probably over 300hp more, lol. Pretty sure Joka has him beat by a lot, too.

Also, yes, I agree that kl swap is super clean. Looks like he did a partial wire tuck too. It looks great

On that note, there hasn't been responses to any of these posted engine bays. I just enjoy looking at what people have done with their engine bays, but I don't always feel the need to comment.

300 more??

 

[ucMP3]

300 more??

Stock KL-DE should be sitting around 150whp, right? Pretty sure Miguel has well over 450whp... lol

i'm pretty sure thats a long neck klze. so around 190-200. and the potential to bolt on any power making device and make 500+ safely and reliably

it can not make anywhere near 500 reliably. where are u getting ur info from? (attention)

I said whp, you're quoting power @ the crank. Pretty sure it doesn't even make 200 @ the crank, let alone @ the wheels. But if you say so.

thats not even what got me, he said it could hold 500 hp reliably?(attn) if u think a few seconds is reliable. i dont even know of a mazda motor that can hold that kinda power reliably on stock internals.

Ya, I ignored that part cause you took care of it, lol.

on round 2 car did 474.8whp and 396.6 lbs torque at 25 PSI, this round 3 im hoping to see anything near 600whp or little over, but lets see.. Yet again back on topic..

I like all the engine bays in here - some are really well put together.

The 323 is stock, so 164 bhp, call it 140 whp...definitely not a fast car as fast cars go, and it wasn't built to go fast in straight line. I have the Probe for that.
