hmm i'll vouch for the not being able to run above 10psi...well on higher mileage fs03 engines anyways...out of the 4 people and I that turboed our cars around the same time all of them popped within 2K miles when uping the boost to 10+psi...now at 8psi mine ran forever, never had blowby never had hesitation, never had any problems period...well except overheating but that was a totally unrelated issue...now please keep in mind this statement only applies to fs03 series engines with 90+k in the 93-96mx6/probe cars. Also the turbos were for the most part t3/t4 which is significantly larger and flows tons more air @10psi than wussy t25s and 14bs, which seem to be the most prevalent turbo for custom projects...moving on..yeah Id def do an mx3 project...half the weight and the same hp engine....turboed KLZE in an mx3...drool watch out sti....I know my friend with a klze swap and turbo at 6psi put little over 250whp and ran the quarter in 13.4ish..its been awhile so I cant remember the exact time, but I remember my jaw dropping and my car drooling....

My friend swapped the j-spec 2.5 in his old protoge along with a cold air intake and was doing mid to high 13's, and thats with a different brand of tire on every wheel. KLZE is nice
Well said... Damn all that is so true.... when they made the prototype RM kit on my '95 FS engine, of course it was all about the T3/T4 hybrid pushing a shitload of air. I have popped a motor past 8psi and blown a head gasket the second time around on the Probe. But that was a couple years back, those 2.0 Probetalk guys are starting to get the Apexi working with bigger injectors which is keeping them safer, along with a high flow Walbro pump and other electronics. I was tired of taking the car apart and didnt want to fork out 3k a couple of years ago for a TEC III like Ric at Racingmazda wanted to do. SO thats when I got my Speed!(headbang)DSMConvert said:
But anyways back to the original question for Autox MSP on his first post. The tranny of a V6 Probe will not bolt up, its a different bell housing pattern. I beleive you said your friend said the trannies look the same, well they may look the same, but it wont bolt up. And a KL series engine swap on a Protege.....way too much work, not worth it IMHO

ahh the good ole days of probetalk and mx6.com....i miss my 6......hmm on the injectors note I just used stock dsm injectors and tuned it down with the SAFC...worked great for me...everyone was scared back in the day to experiment....

mx3 try using spaces i cant figure out what you're trying to say here....
Lol- if anyone wants one, I have a 2.5 from a 96 PGT with around 90k on it for sale 
. It ran when I pulled it and has been sitting in my storage unit for 2 years now. I have had it on probetalk several times and keep pulling it because people say they are coming for it, but then never show up
