My Mx-3's life SO FAR!!!

@2126bd66c5=THE-PROPHECY:
whats the best and cheapest way to squeeze more power out then guys,
Cheapest way by far is to remove weight, anything you don't need stick it in the shed. The MX3 responds well from weight reduction.
Powers mods for K8, improve induction and exhaust minimal gains but cheap.
-
Swapping the engine for a ZE is biggest bang for bucks.
-
with regards to ZE swap…how tunable are they
-
the ze is the tuned version 200 bhp
you can allways turbo it but cant put to much boost on it
and litle things like ht leads plugs manifolds air filtes porting underdrive pully lightened flywheel
-
also
my passanger side for light has blown, only the bulb, However… with regards to making the thing breath better i was gonna take the fog light out and channel some flexi pipe up to the Pipercross lung, any ideas of a cheap and trusty alternative??? cheers guys
-
cheers james, whats the gear ratio's like on the ZE, could i keep my 1.8 gear box, fo ferocious acceleration???
-
n/a go for the ze. if u want forced induction get a probe or standard mx6 engine its far less hassle to tune
-
yeh you can keep the k8 gear box but i would use the 2.5 box as the finle drive it lower gives you higher top speed lower rpm for moterway driveing
-
wow guest appearance from kami^
k8 gearbox is fine with the ze, short but gets you through a quarter mile quick enough. A taller 5th gear would be nice, and it can be done.
Turbo zes are fine, but do require more careful tuning with the higher compression ratio.

You could buy a taller 5th for your K8, there is a US company that makes one. Its even taller than the mx6 5th gear.
