1992 MX-3 KLZE Project

    YEEEEEEEEES! :D
    It's running perfect now! WOW, it's fast! It feels damn good, have been waiting for this for 3 years now… 8)

    I'd pulled the covers and let my mechanic have a look at it. I suggested the timing belt may have been misaligned and he said no no, it cant be. But you'l never now with him , he is a bit sneaky. He said it was the crank sensor not giving a signal but i guees the belt could have benn wrong too. The main thing is that its working now.. :)

    Here is a little list of what is done so far:

    Engine:
    KL-ZE
    Ebay headers
    2.5" exhaust
    Exedy clutch
    Gearbox and flywheel from K8
    KL36 ECU (looking for a chipable K8 ECU)
    NGK vpower spark plugs
    Some ebay (Vision) wires

    Appearance:
    Ebay black projectors
    Clear bumper lights
    Altezza tail lights
    17" Dotz Brands Hatch Dark

    Next on the list is to order a few things from the superb site fordprobestore. I need 2 new strut mounts rear. Will change oil to fully synthetic 5w-30. Have to replace power steering pipes too. Then i will fit 40mm lowering springs.

    Also have this: along with some epoxi. This is 3m2 and its gonna be a new bonnet.

    I was lucky to get a Mazdaspeed bumper and its going on togther with some not yet decided sideskirts. The car is gonna be painted in some kind of white, or maybe matt black.

    And a pic of my dear last Mx:

    I've pulled some codes too (LED-method).

    Got #03, 41 and 46

    03- Crankshaft Position Sensor Failure
    41- VRIS #1 solenoid
    46- VRIS #2 solenoid

    Must check if the solenoids are bad or if there is a vacuum leak somewhere.
    As for Code 03 the only solution seems to be to change disty?

    "When Code 3 is present, the PCME stops firing the fuel injectors in sequential mode and instead fires them in a "batch" mode since the PCME does not have any way to know where TDC on #1 is. This results in a slight loss of power and a lowering of the engine's fuel economy "

    I have some kind of HEI-mod on the car, but it does not look like the usual mod…

    Anyone seen this before?

    Been working a little on the hood too…

    6 layers 450g/m2 + dyvinicell. Need to wet sand and polish the mold, then its ready for the carbon fibre.

    And for those who wonder… The OEM hood weighs in at ~14 kg 8)

    Quick update… I thought it was a bit tired and sometimes, mostly when turning, when you hit the gas nothing happens for 2-3 seconds, then all throttle comes at once. So I decided to change fuel pump. Ordered wrong one though, a Walbro 255 LPH High Pressure. But I installed it and..... what a differance! Feels like a new engine now! I know my stock FPR does not gonna last forever but for now this is very good.

    1. They are not very easy to get your hands on, I'm the only one as far as i know in Sweden with these side skirts and the Erebuni Mazdaspeed bumper. It was expensive but i'm really happy with the kit.

    Also the KLZE is unique here, the only Curved Neck KLZE. I know there is one more who got one, but its a Straight Neck. Running really good with the unusual combo K8 ECU and KL02 VAF, would be very interesting to know the horsepower on the wheels. Another bonus is that it is imported from U.S, which give som extras; no cat needed, no side repeaters and ok whith whit bulbs and white indicators in the fron bumper.
