Acceleration
-
cheers Daniel.
Im not unhappy with it, I did expect a drop in power from the MX6, just wanted to make sure I wasnt missing something obvious to check with these cars! Im going to do a bit of a service this August so hopefully it'll feel a touch sprightlier then. I do miss the power of my MX6, god, that car used to accelerate like a bat out of hell from stand still!

Can you feel both vris solenoids kick in?
There is a paper test you can do to find out.

mx6 is a 2.5 mx-3 is a 1.8 becasue the mx6 has a bigger engine the torque is better hence why u can feel it pull better lower down the rev range just do wot everyone else does put a klze in your mx-3 and let the good times roll
-
Yeh, you thought the mx6 was fast get a ze or de in your mx3 then you will experience a good car :D

I well agree with that :wink:
Mine was always a bit slow off the mark on lower rev ranges but a decent induction kit with new plugs and leads sorted that quite well

yeah i found this as well DJ but once you get used to it, it is a fun way to drive a V6. It always put a smile on my face when i went for a drive. I do agree with the above posts though, DE or ZE engine in it will make a massive difference. hence why i am buying a probe this week :D

not sure about the vris 1 and 2, i am fairly sure they are, i get a kick at about 3k and another about 4/5k rpm…is that about right??
as for plonking in a ze, it is tempting, but im no where near experienced enough, and VERY short of cash!! No, ill do some basic mods just to help it breath a bit easier and take it from there.
I do actually have a 2.5 V6 sat in the mx6 shell in my front garden...waiting to go to the scrappers...

use that engine dont scrap it!!
-
cant mate, i dont know the first thing about removing an engine, I dont have a hoist, and i dont have any where to keep it, has to go. if anyone wants it, they can have it, but I wont do anything whatsoever to help remove it!! I have too much other stuff to do now, so apart from removing a couple of panels, the cars ready to roll to the scrappers.

wish i could mate, i really want a project to keep me busy. got 2 weeks off soon for an operation and really need a project now that the probe has fallen through lol
