i just noticed the mx6 v6 comes with two engines, either KLDE or KLZE, and supposing the KLZE has more HP i think thats the one on all the videos above, then the KLDE is not gonna be that fast

i haven't dynoed it since i got it, but from my butt-dyno, it feels more torquey and doesn't sound like a lawn mower. i've heard people complain that it's a 2.25" but i didn't want to go too big for my exhaust

The MX6 came with the KLDE in the US, and the KLZE in Australia and Japan.
While the KLDE makes 35 less hp, they make the same torque.
Slow? Not hardly. At sea level multiple people have posted very low 15's and even high 14's with no more than bolt ons. FWIW at 4500ft elevation I've run 15.9 @87mph many times, and on my current car ~ 15.5 @87. Now figure that we loose .7-.9 due to elevation, and it's definitely not a slow car.

Well thats a good point! btw the black one vs the mustang gt on the videos i posted is the KLDE and he won, there's a quote i dont undertand, how come the probe gt has the same engine but the probe is pretty slow. what ya recommend for the exhaust for better performance? thx

Whats the stock exhaust size 2''? i think if its a v6 you can go up to 2.5'' the bigger your pipes are the more back-pressure you lose (less torque)
Lets not turn this wonderful thread into a , "OMG it beat a mustang and they are slow cars"
They are what they are. A Mazda 626 with a hot body. A car that in 93 was way ahead of its time and still gets called a 2000 something to date by onlookers that dont know better. Its a car that died out in 97. Sadly it was never really replaced with any other model.
The KLDE and KLZE are silky smooth engines. they are very reliable in many aspects and a truly well built ingenious engine to say the least.
with that said lets not forget about the capabilities of the fsde and the not commonly mentioned fsze, both are the 4 cylinder engines. Like the famous klze the fsze is the japan/Aussie version and yes has more power, due to a better intake manifold and other odds and ends.
as for the "automagic/automatic" If you plan on being liek the majority of the population and not going an extra mile in maintaining you transmission stay away from it. I rebuilt mine without removing it from the car simply dropping it down a bit by undoing some motor mounts and cross members. After the rebuild I have flushed it once a year, and put 40 000km on it since the rebuild. I'm not hard on it and actually have been known to baby it. That does not mean I dont get on it once in a while. My exhaust always begs to be opened up

Probes are around 200lbs heavier than a given MX6 of the same trim level/model year. Not to mention in stock form have a heavier, taller wheel/tire combination, albeit shorter final drive to compensate for the taller tire/wheel combo.
Aside of that, why do you make the generalization that all Probes are slow??
For exhaust, "Ebay" hotshot knock off headers, stock cat (or highflow, whatever) 2.5" free breathing exhaust using a good muffler, and a resonator in the stock location behind the cat so it doesn't sound like ass.

Accident...I know how that feels. What happened?

F2T and the FE3 in my garage is where is at.

Sadly, the last picture I have from here before the accident and the blown tranny/engine. 14's with full stock internals @12.5 psi ftw.
wow seck si
lost control on a wet curve and hit a gutter with the front end, and pretty much ripped the whole thing appart. The chasis took a big hit, and between that and the 3rd engine, second tranny, 4th turbo and 3rd engine head, I called it quits. I raced that sonbitch hard at bithlo (orlando SW)
That car was pure beastiality though, we never got to see its full potential because, everytime we launched it at the track, it would break an axle. And when we reinforced the axles, it blew the tranny:lol: whiplash anybody?

Wow, you broke a LOT of stuff...if only I could have your luck...I've got a '89 PGT I've been trying to blow for some time now...20psi with a VF-30 still hasn't been enough, even running it hard multiple times with BFG DR's I've bested 13.7 @105 with a miserable 2.2 60' multiple times...yet...still no boom...no break...

Thats a good looking time. And some good looking numbers. I wish had the numbers of my car. Last turbo I put in was a Garrett t3/t4, I was pushing 12psi before blow out. I dunno, for some reason it always broke down, no matter what you did to it lol. Hence my nickname, alwaysbroken.
