    another KLZE V6 project in the works

    yea, from everything ive read, the v6 mx6/pgt guys love to do this swap... the obd1 guys literally just drop it in. i think ill be satisfied with the power gains for now, but a small turbo might be a possibility in the future. :-)

    another KLZE V6 project in the works

    actually, you are correct on the rims... but the rims it comes with are the universal 4 lug pattern. but i completely agree with you, and the plan is to get the engine running in the mx-3 before transplanting it into the protege. this way, if i do screw something up on the install, im not...

    another KLZE V6 project in the works

    hey guys, well i finally blew the motor in my 2003 protege lx, and i've decided that i'm done with the FS-DE. so why not go KLZE, right? i got real lucky and found an mx-3 with a fresh KLZE install (less than 500 miles). It's got a clutch masters kevlar clutch, resurfaced mx-3 FW, stainless...

    any moderators reading this? any of the mods want to weigh in on the subject? fkmp5, you bring up a valid point about the time delay between searches, but i do believe that's a security measure to prevent server overloading (correct me if i'm wrong). it does get annoying tho.

    Couple of Questions- Deadening, Tweeter Location, etc.

    1. i personally just did a one square foot behind each speaker on my front doors and i don't get any distortion out of my fronts... but then again, i run a high pass filter on them, so you might need more if you are going full range. 2. i mounted mine just forward and slightly higher than the...
